Agree.  I actually tried to listen to parts of it, but had to change the station after about five minutes.   




Yeah, he pretty much just regurgitates the same bullshit over and over.


Then, of course, we have the retarded lib followers on this board who -


call other people morons without having the facts.

can't have a serious discussion about something like Ted Cruz's attempt at change.

and, my personal favorite, regularly argue in favor of laws without having ever even read the fucking law.


If we could only get some intelligent left wing board members....

George Zimmerman's Lawyer Wants Jurors To See Photos Of Handgun, Pot Plants Found On Trayvon Martin's Cell Phone
 


In a bid to muddy up Trayvon Martin in advance of trial, a lawyer for George Zimmerman has released photos of a handgun and marijuana plants that were found on the late teenager’s cell phone.

In a court filing today, attorney Mark O’Mara listed documents and images he “intends to introduce into evidence” during the criminal case against Zimmerman, who has been charged with murdering Martin. The 17-year-old was shot to death in February 2012 by Zimmerman (who claims that he fired in self-defense while being attacked by the unarmed teenager).

Included in the photos that O’Mara says he wants jurors to see are two images extracted from Martin’s Huawei phone showing a Smith & Wesson handgun and clip. In one photo (seen above) the weapon appears to be held by the person who snapped the photo. The second photo shows the gun and clip atop what appears to be a soiled mattress.

Two other photos from Martin’s phone show potted marijuana plants.

O’Mara has also notified Florida prosecutors that he will try to introduce text messages from Martin’s phone. Those messages include exchanges dealing with Martin’s suspension from school for fighting and his mother’s decision that he needed to move in with his father (from whom she was divorced). “My mom just told me i gotta mov wit my dad,” read one November 2011 message that was followed up with a text noting, “She just kickd me out : (.”

Other texts on Martin’s phone appear to refer to his use of marijuana and the offer of a gun.

Days before Martin was killed, his father sent a text with advice about how his son should behave and show respect. “Show them that you a good kid and you want positive things around you. Be a big brother and not a DONKEY …… LOVE DAD.”

O’Mara also wants to introduce several photos of Martin, including one image (seen below) showing him giving two middle fingers to the camera.

Yea, not a great guy, but I'm not sure what any of it has to do with what went down that night.  Maybe it establishes a pattern of violence, I'm not sure?

They were saying today that there may be something called a Bivens Suit? that would allow the affected parties to sue these clowns.  But I wasn't clear if the facts in this case apply to that type of suit or not.

Didn't say that - have a trial in abstentia or something f its an American citizen, something


I don't agree with extra judicial killing against a citizen not engaged in battle based solely on the word of the govt



What good will that really do.  3 of the 'citizens' killed were collateral, not the primary target.  I find it difficult to sympathize with so-called 'American citizens' who just 'happen' to be hanging around foreign terrorists.

IMO the reAl scandal will be if Issa doesn't allow him to testify in public after this meeting.  Then we should all be ip in arms regardless of party.

Representative Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who heads the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, on Friday answered a letter from Pickering by issuing a subpoena requiring him to sit for a deposition with committee staff rather than proceed directly to a public hearing as Pickering had volunteered to do.

12  Getbig Main Boards / Politics and Political Issues Board / Re: Leaked Emails Were EDITED To Make Obama LOOK BAD on: May 22, 2013, 07:53:18 PM
If Pickering chose to respond to the subpoena it would have been to give public testimony just like you saw today with the woman who pleaded the fifth

Issa used that a stick to get him to meet in private

Issa probably knows that Pickering would have made him look like a fool in public which is why he (Issa) didn't want it and why Pickering did want it




No, dumbfuck, it would have been in private.


WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee chairman has withdrawn a subpoena to compel a retired diplomat to answer questions in private about an independent investigation of last year's attack in Benghazi, Libya.



Keep trying, keep failing, lol.

Cmon dude.  U can't associate with scum and not suffer the consequences.

14  Getbig Main Boards / Politics and Political Issues Board / Re: Leaked Emails Were EDITED To Make Obama LOOK BAD on: May 22, 2013, 07:27:21 PM
notice that he still needed Pickering to agree which he could have chosen not to do

the subpoena would have required him to testify before a congressional committee ....not in private and even then Pickering could have invoked his 5th amendment if he wanted to

Pickering agreed to the private meeting to avoid the subpoena but he could have chosen that option and avoided a private meeting



Uh no.  Nothing states that Pickering had to agree.  And the Thursday meeting was to be in private.  The fact that it was before other committee members is irrelevant.

Don't worry, we all know ur not man enough to own up.

But the fact remains u don't know ur head from ur ass.

Keep trying, lol

Dumbfuck

"A new classified policy guidance signed by Mr. Obama will sharply curtail the instances when unmanned aircraft can be used to attack in places that are not overt war zones, countries like Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. The rules will impose the same standard for strikes on foreign enemies now used only for American citizens deemed to be terrorists.

Lethal force will be used only against targets who pose “a continuing, imminent threat to Americans” and cannot feasibly be captured, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said in a letter to Congress, suggesting that threats to a partner like Afghanistan or Yemen alone would not be enough to justify being targeted. "



Meh...I'm not big on these guys hanging out with terrorists and then claiming American citizen rights. GMAFB

I hope it turns out that the legal hawks say she waived her 5th when she decided to give her little innocence speech.  Then maybe we can get some answers.


17  Getbig Main Boards / Politics and Political Issues Board / Re: Rep. Jason Chaffetz Appreciation Thread on: May 22, 2013, 06:23:45 PM
Interesting..

In 2004, Chaffetz was the campaign manager for Utah gubernatorial candidate Jon Huntsman. Huntsman won the race and after he took office in January 2005, Chaffetz became his chief of staff.[9] In November 2005 Chaffetz left to manage his own company, "Maxtera Utah", a corporate communications and marketing company.

Imagine a Huntsman/Chaffertz ticket in 2016?
Huntsmann is the moderate repub who doesn't bend for special interests - he refused to sign the pledges with everyone else, remember?  great hair, worth half a billion, and this chaffertz VP pick would keep the far-right very happy Smiley

He has two more years of experience than Rand paul, and is actually a more staunch republican!  Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) is the second most conservative Member of the House or Representatives according to our Legislative ...

Cut, Cap and Balance
In June 2011, Chaffetz sponsored HR 2560, the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act of 2011. HR 2560 capped FY 2012 discretionary appropriations at $1.019 trillion, which was $31 billion below FY 2011 discretionary spending, and provided $126.5 billion for war spending. HR 2560 imposed a cap of $681 billion on "other" mandatory spending. Excluded from the $681 billion cap were Social Security, Medicare, veterans programs, and interest payments. HR 2560 gradually reduced federal government spending as a percent of gross domestic product from 24.1% in 2011[33] to 21.7% in 2013 and 19.9% in 2021. HR 2560 also allowed for an increase in the debt ceiling of $2.4 trillion, as requested by President Obama, conditioned upon approval by both Houses of Congress of a qualifying Balanced Budget Amendment which would then be sent to the states for approval. HR 2560 passed the House of Representatives but was rejected by the Senate.[34]
Social Security Reform
In November 2011, Chaffetz announced a seven-point Social Security proposal.[35] The seven provisions include using a chained CPI-W for calculating annual COLAs, increasing normal retirement age, adding progressive price indexing to primary insurance amount calculations, means-testing benefits for high income beneficiaries, increasing the number of years for calculating average indexed monthly earnings, indexing special minimum benefits to wages instead of CPI, and increasing benefits by 5% for retirees when they reach age 85.[36]
President Obama
In January 2010, Chaffetz was called upon to question President Obama at a meeting of the GOP Conference.[37] Chaffetz applauded Obama for some of the promises made during the campaign, but asked why promises to broadcast healthcare debates on CSPAN, keep lobbyists out of senior positions, go line-by-line through the health care bill and end earmarks had not been kept. Video of the Q&A went viral and received extensive media coverage.[38][39][40][41] Upon hearing that U.S. President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on October 9, 2009, Chaffetz said he had "lost all respect for the award", claiming "it used to be one of distinction, but [now] it is hard to give it any credibility".[42]
Nuclear waste
In November 2009 Chaffetz co-sponsored a bill in the House with Rep. Jim Matheson to block the importation of foreign nuclear waste into the United States, putting him directly at odds with Rep. Rob Bishop and Utah's Senators Bennett and Hatch who had historically supported importing foreign nuclear waste into Utah with restrictions.[43]
Homeland Security
In December 2009, Chaffetz championed legislation to limit the use of full-body imaging scanners at airports unless a metal detector first indicated a need for more screening. The images have come under intense scrutiny from privacy groups for allegedly letting security administrators view images of undressed passengers.[44]
Chaffetz and TSA have had a rocky relationship since he joined Congress. In his freshman year, in what critics have described as political grandstanding, he accused TSA agents at his hometown airport in Salt Lake City of unfairly targeting him to pass through a full-body scanning machine — a device Chaffetz believes is invasive. The Republican lawmaker said he believed he was targeted partially for his opposition to granting TSA screeners collective bargaining rights. The union representing some of the officers said at the time that agents followed proper procedure and that an officer who had recently returned from military service in Iraq didn’t recognize Chaffetz.[45]
Afghanistan
Chaffetz criticized the surge of 30,000 troops President Obama authorized for the war in Afghanistan, saying that the United States does not have a clear policy or exit strategy.[46][47][48]
Benghazi Attack
Chaffetz has been outspoken against the White House and State Department’s handling of the attacks on the Libyan Embassy. The Administration first stated the attacks were sparked by a spontaneous protest, then later stated the violence was a planned terrorist attack. "There was a very conscious decision made, I believe — my personal opinion is that they wanted the appearance of 'normalization' there in Libya and building up of an infrastructure, putting up barbed wire on our facility would lead to the wrong impression. Something that this administration didn’t want to have moving forward."[49]
He has criticized UN Ambassador’s Susan Rice’s initial comments calling them “somewhere between an outrageous lie and total falsehood.”[49]
Chaffetz himself has been criticized for politicizing the Benghazi incident, acknowledging in an interview with CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien that he had "voted to cut the funding for embassy security" and that House Republicans had consciously voted to reduce the funds allocated to the State Department for embassy security since winning the majority in 2010. "Absolutely," Chaffetz said. "Look we have to make priorities and choices in this country."[50]
Resolutions
Chaffetz has pledged to vote against what he calls "trivial resolutions," including those dealing with sports, such as congratulating the winning team of the Super Bowl. Chaffetz feels that the House could be taking up more important legislation.[51]






That would go no where.  Huntsman showed himself and was rather empty.  Doesn't really seem to have a fire in his belly for the politics needed to win the presidency.

It is quite clear that some religious texts encourage murder under certain circumstances.  Whether that religious text also includes a passage or two about loving thy neighbor is only relevant in so far as it demonstrates a inconsistency, hypocrisy and contradiction.   In my opinion, a propensity for violence is inherent in religion itself.



Yeah, hard to disagree with that.

Tough shit for Issa (and OF COURSE Issa can't force them to do it privately moron)






As usual, you're wrong...dumbfuck.







WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee chairman has withdrawn a subpoena to compel a retired diplomat to answer questions in private about an independent investigation of last year's attack in Benghazi, Libya.

Rep. Darrell Issa (EYE'-suh) says he acted after Thomas Pickering agreed to meet with the House Oversight and Committee Reform Committee behind closed doors.

Pickering and former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen led the investigation into the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomat mission. Four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador, were killed.

Pickering had offered to testify before Issa's committee in public. But Issa said a private meeting was needed first so the committee could understand how the investigation was conducted.

Issa had summoned Pickering to appear Thursday, but his appearance is now being rescheduled.

it could also be (and likely is) exactly what the outgoing director said it was which was the decision of a couple of low level employees in one field office



No, in my experience that would be highly unlikely.  They do not work in a vacuum.  They were pushing their sitreps up to somebody at a supervisory level.  Now, if that supervisor filtered them out, or somebody up higher (as all sitreps get filtered smaller and smaller), then the more likely question is at what point in the chain of command were they removed and why was it not deemed important enough to pass up.

Wrong again, as usual




Those aren't even close to the only 2 choices.  There's a whole range of possibilities.

Regardless of who appointed who, Obama has been at the helm for over 4 years.  More than sufficient time for his appointed people and policies to have filtered throughout all organizations within the Executive.

And it doesn't have to be something nefarious.  He could've just stated as an overall policy to increase scrutiny on certain things which may lead to fraud.  And then the lower level employees enacted the policies to make that happen.  If word never reached Obama, it could have been filtered out at any possible level of supervision, but then that leads to questioning why supervisors and leaders never passed it up and it directly reflects on his management.

And a whole range of possibilities in between...
