I don't think I'd do that," leave me confident saying he is guilty as hell.

I will be very impressed if they hold a non-binding resolution before the election takes place just to send a message to Moore. I doubt it will happen, but its 2017 ya all. Shit is crazy. | ||

It took 70 years, but the European Union finally signed a pact today (Nov. 13) agreeing to integrate military funding, weapons development, and deployment of European defenses. In a way, creating a unified mega army. US president’s Donald Trump’s frequent accusations that EU countries do not pay enough into NATO has been one catalyst for them move forward with a unified plan for military cooperation. The other is that it could legitimately diminish the bloc’s dependence on US military support. EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, called the pact “historic” as “the real problem is not how much we spend, it is the fact we spend in a fragmented manner.” She also said it would strengthen the work of the US-led Nato. The UK had always resisted the idea of joint EU defense, fearing some kind of big “European army,” but the country’s planned exit from the bloc has removed that hurdle, allowing 23 other EU countries to move forward. Once Brexit happens, the UK could still possibly be involved, but for a price. The group will have a €5 billion ($5.8 billion) European Defense Fund to buy weapons, a different fund for operations, and also get money from the EU budget for research. In the end, it means that the EU would have stronger, better synchronized national military forces to respond to crises together. German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel called it a “milestone in European development.” Co-development of weapons could be good news for European defense companies. “I think it is a potential game-changer,” Haman Buskhe, the CEO of Swedish defense company Saab told the Wall Street Journal (paywall). “This could develop new products and help increase efficiency in Europe.” The next step will be for EU leaders to sign the legally binding agreement in December. qz.com Feel like this will affect the US quite a bit | ||

I gain because I don't have time to learn to fix my car (not have I invested in all the tools needed), and so I benefit from his labour. I'm salaried, so my potential earnings is limited unless I hustle on the side. But if that mechanic does well and is able to hire a bunch of journeymen mechanics and/or apprentices and double the income that I make, hell if he makes ten times what I make, I still haven't lost anything. I still get my car fixed, freeing up my time to do something else. And he gets my money, plus a bunch of other customer's money. And the journeymen mechanics are gainfully employed and may well strike out on their own if they are sufficiently enterprising. There's no loss to me, if I get what I want for a reasonable price, and they got rich. I got what I wanted, and I can focus my labour elsewhere. It's all very nice looking at the relationship between two laborers, but how about the relationship between you and your employer? If your employer starts giving you 10 more hours of work a week with no compensation, that's fine because value is still being created? I'd call that your employer generating value at your expense. | ||

A vote for a preemptively kicked out person is basically a vote for a wild card R of the governor's choosing in Alabama so if anything it improves his chances of a victory, oddly enough. No chance of having a D or a criminal in office. | ||

Also entirely predictable. Hannity was having Assange on his show a few months ago. Hannity/FOX was laying the groundwork for the Trumpkin transition to being pro-Wikileaks. Had to get the proles in line before the news came out. http://thehill.com/homenews/news/335840-sean-hannity-asks-assange-to-guest-host-his-radio-show | ||

Why in God's name would that be of any benefit to wikileaks? Oh, right, it wouldn't be. The whole sowing chaos thing was more of Russia's goal. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. | ||

At the end of the day, Russia's only goal is American chaos. Lack of American cohesion is the only way Russia is able to muster any sense of modern day relevance. | ||

Like, WTF are we still doing here? We're so past the point of reasonable impeachment. WikiLeaks, even if you're naive enough to think they're not doing Russia's bidding here, is not an American organization. A foreign organization is telling the Trump campaign to convince its people, American citizens, to disregard election results. And what did Trump's campaign do? How did Trump's campaign react to this foreign-organization's subversive requests? They advertised them. Shortly after Jr's correspondence, Trump starts speaking and tweeting about WikiLeaks regularly. The timeline of this implicates more than Jr. It was Trump himself that THEN went on a de-facto WikiLeaks Promotion Tour. This is so fucking rotten. | ||
