Personally I don't care about this,they can sell my whole internet history if they want though I have no clue why anyone would want to pay for that. An add that I see on the web usually discourages me from buying that brand/product. Specially when it is an annoying and intrusive add,but I am probably an exception with this. | ||

Personally I like Takano more, he used to be a teacher. but yeah this is standard Lieu. His press statements are pretty hilarious. | ||

California makes the most hilarious Representatives. (Though a government that does pretty much nothing for four years is pretty ok with me.) | ||

Also he's not wasting time wondering why we aren't taxing the sun. | ||

I'd prefer they're all fired and we focus on actual sound effective governing; but sadly that's not an option. also your point, while of some merit on its face, doesn't really seem like a response to what I said or the topic I'd responded to. | ||

Authorities arrested and charged a white Baltimore resident on suspicion of murder after he admitted to killing Timothy Caughman, a 66-year-old black man, in New York, police officials said this week. James Harris Jackson, 28, an Army veteran, fatally stabbed Caughman with a 26-inch sword, said New York Police Department assistant chief William Aubry told reporters at a news conference Wednesday. Aubry said police believe that Jackson’s attack on Caughman was “racially motivated” and that the suspect had been harboring ill feelings toward black people for more than 10 years. Originally from Baltimore, Jackson traveled to New York because “it’s the media capital of the world, and he wanted to make a statement,” police said. As far as authorities know, he did not attack anyone else. Police received a report Monday around 11:15 p.m. ET that a male victim had been stabbed multiple times by an unknown assailant following a dispute. The victim, who was soon identified as Caughman, walked into a nearby police precinct in Manhattan with critical injuries. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/attackers-fatal-stabbing-new-york-black-man-racially-motivated-police-say/ | ||

I'm interested to see the Nunez thing play out. The intelligence community under the Obama administration surveilled and declassified American citizens names, which were then leaked. It's slow pace and unrelated to Russia, but absolutely crucial in reigning in unaccountable bureaucracy for this administration and the future. | ||

Meanwhile in New York. But this clearly isn't terrorism. Can't be, because nobody screamed allah akbar. Take it or leave it is just negotiating bluster Except that's not what is reported he said. Take it or leave it is, apart from absolutely idiotic as a "negotiation tactic" without actually having negotiated anything yet, very different to "either you take this, or there will be no more effort to replace obamacare". That's not "negotiating bluster", it's what a mentally unstable person screams at his partner in an abusive relationship. | ||
