Certain missing police tapes are a good example. Why can they keep the school tapes from the people? Surely the suspect is dead.

Anwar al-Awlaki. Most things that I’m seeing about him are that he is the first US citizen targeted by a drone strike but I remember it being a big deal that he was the first US citizen assassinated at all.

And as much as I liked President Obama, he did set the precedent by targeting and killing a (bad) US citizen.

These are the people who attacked America on 9/11. They agreed to help Bush in his war so we didn’t attack them.

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I would say that the US worked with them closely before 9/11 and then enacted pre-written legislation immediately after the attack that our intelligence agencies knew was coming. Everybody in the middle was doing their job but our senior representatives never acted on the intelligence that was available. So now Saudi gets special treatment.

Good! They saved me when I was charged for an ER visit. I’m a veteran so they legally have to charge the government. That didn’t stop equafax from ruining my credit despite my legally correct explanation. The consumer financial protection bureau put them in their place and I’m back to perfect credit.

He is doing 57 months because he is serving for multiple crimes simultaneously.

Police who violate the law should not be allowed anything but the maximum sentence non-concurrent with other crimes.

But cops protect those who have power and those who have power. Don’t want to piss off the cops so here we are.

You and I just may have different opinions about how the government works at the senior levels.

A retired career federal employee.

I hear you. I was in the army when 9/11 happened so I didn’t have a choice but to be involved in the response. I was ready to show how I had trained against the Saudis who attacked us so when all of the units plans changed to Iraq, my opinion about 9/11 and all of the ongoing US propaganda for it kind of changed.

Now it’s over 20 years later and after having deployed three times I have lost more of my friends to poverty and health related suicide (thank you, department of veterans affairs) I would say that the poor suffered more in 2008 then we did as a nation from that attack. America needs us to remember that small attack so that we can maintain endless wars in countries which are proxy, fights and training grounds for our soldiers. We shouldn’t be killing people. We should be focused on making sure the billionaires aren’t crashing the economy in cycles in order to profit from our endless labor.

9/11 should be remembered for the horrific act that it was, but the cult following that it turned into is wrong. How many people died in terrorist attacks in American history and how many people have had their liberties deprived by police, especially if they are the wrong color? Worse things are happening every day. We need to be distracted though.

The laws that the EPA has to follow and the people controlling it are who I am referring to. Politicians are taking money to prevent lifelong EPA employees from saving our lives.

Or paid their bosses (congress) a surprisingly small amount of money (bribes (“lobbying”)).

Charging cables? I need to upgrade my calipers. Lol

As somebody who didn’t do all of the hard work that you did, can you give me a starting place with Marxism and how it applies to psychology? I’m interested but I don’t know where to start.

You are speaking to my soul. I’m the type of guy that prints out a blank spreadsheet to track my workouts. I’m also the type that doesn’t go to the gym. Lol. I need to just start showing up.

Funny! In America it is against our constitution but we allow the NSA to do it because when we protest we get killed, arrested or our lives ruined.

I protested the illegal separation and detention of children at the border. It was literal torture. The government later found that their own actions were illegal. In the meantime, I was arrested and beaten and on bail conditions for over 6 months before being found not guilty. The officers who beat me were given immunity. They decided not to keep the tapes at the facility after we requested they keep them because of the assault.

I am a disabled veteran and was a career federal employee.

This is America.

I agree. I’m American and I love the show “Taskmaster.” I would like to give them money to watch it. They would like to receive my money. There have been legal complications for years. I’ve bought their physical board game from their website but as far as the show goes, yo ho ho!

Smartest argument that I’ve heard for their existence!
