According to his logic, if the 25th ammendment were used, it would automatically be a "coup".

Speak for yourself. This is a very dumb post, without any real evidence.
posted by thavoiceWar is big business. A lot of tax money is spent on defense and will continue to do so.
It always employs quite a bit of people so I wouldn't be so quick to say just by pulling troops out that the govt is going to all of a sudden have all this extra money to spend on other things.
You could reduce defense spending to what we were spending prior Bush entering the middle east and we would just be fine. Our economy is not dependent on war. This theory has been proven wrong twice once government spending was reduced after WWII and the Vietnam war.
posted by HereticSo, to recap:
1. Geeblock used how he hasn't made money to say that no one has made money -- ie: the logical fallacy of using anecdotal evidence to claim something is truth.
Add in numerous straw mans and that sums up every gblock argument in a nutshell.
To add to the Jussie Smollet hoax, how about the fact the dude was willing to testify against 2 random guys if the cops "identified" two suspects? You have to be a special piece of shit to do that. His punishment should be severe.
Not political, but I'm outraged at the sports landscape this time of year. I used to love college basketball, but not anymore - the one and done thing has ruined it for me. I don't care about the NBA, have never watched a hockey game on tv, don't want to hear about Nascar "gearing up for another exciting year", have no interest in the pre-Masters PGA season, don't really follow European soccer, have no interest in the NFL draft, don't want to hear blow-by-blow about college football spring practices, don't care about spring training...the list goes on.
The only sports I've watched lately that was even mildly entertaining was the Ax Throwing World Championship. The guy who won was referred to as the "Tiger Woods' of the sport. He hit the target every time. But now that I've seen that, I am good for the remainder of my life.
Hollywood is now going to do a biopic on Motley Crue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBLrE4562pk
So are we going to see a tell-all for every famous band now? I suppose it's better than remaking every movie there ever was, though.

Speaking of Motley Crue and outrage, what the fuck has happened to the quality of heroin?!?! Back in the 80s, it seemed like so many kickass bands were loaded with smackheads and they were putting out great albums and doing world-wide tours while strung out. Hell, Nikki Sixx even flatlined for a bit. But now, you just don't hear about awesome bands running that party scene like in the day and smackheads are just dirty, grubby junkies who struggle to do even one single thing right before inevitably dying like chumps.
Goddamn...millennials have even ruined horrific drug abuse for the rest of us...

This I will watch. I was in 6th grade when Motley Crue came out with Too Fast for Love. Back then, every guy had "his" heavy metal band. Based on that one album, I went in on the Crue. As the years went by, my buddies who had Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Scorpions, etc had to give grudging respect that Motley Crue was not just another leather pants hair band. The Crue could rock.

I find basketball pretty tough to watch anymore. It is all three pointers or driving and getting mugged at the hoop.

Maybe in a decade they can add in GNR as well after they get done touring. Saw them in Milwaukee, had a blast

Disorderly conduct I think it was, right? Should be in and of itself a hate crime. There's enough drama in this world to begin with, no need to create situations where somebody else could be hurt or killed.
Also, some level of psychosis in this IMO
Love that the main stream media wants to spend all day on a story of fake violence in Chicago for 2 weeks but ignores the fact that over 100 people have been shot or killed in Chicago during that time.

No different than how your crew would have spent all day covering a cop being killed by an illegal immigrant but are silent when 9 cops have been killed recently by white americans.

Aren't you instructed to use the phrase "drive-by media"?
When you have someone like CBS’s Lara Logan now speaking out against the massive media bias and dereliction of duty, you know there are serious, serious problems. They have destroyed themselves.

True, but on the flipside those are the only sources willing to give her a platform now that she is committed career suicide with the left.
I'm seeing A LOT of various blue check marks on Twitter crying about how the Jussie Smollett case will make it that much more difficult for victims of hate crimes to be believed.
No it won't, at least, not by itself.
However, the growing number of fake hate crimes that are actually caught out just might. Saw this site listed on one of Tim Pool's vids: http://www.fakehatecrimes.org/
I think it's a double-edged sword.

Have they admitted to their part in this? A little bit of skepticism would keep the blue check brigade from looking like dipshits and being called the enemy of the people. Thing is, I don't think they care that they look like dipshits or get called out for it. On the contrary, it seems to make them be even more reckless with their stories.
Smollett is an idiot scumbag but I don’t know how u charge him with a felony when people like bbq Becky and others make false claims of assault by blacks people and make insinuations that they may have a gun when the police are reluctant to come. They never get charged and it’s not all that different. They make a false report and endanger lives.

I get what you're saying (charge whoever you are talking about too). But wtf do you want them to do? A "high profile" person tried to 1) paint the right as a roving gang of black haters and 2) used up valuable police resources to catch fake criminals and EVERYONE knows about it. If they just let him walk it would be even worse for the police department. I bet he pleas it down regardless. The real interesting part will be if he gets in trouble by the FBI for the fake letter. That shit is something you don't mess around with.
I know you are sympathetic, but I hope he does jail time. Fuck that guy.

I agree he should be charged with something. I just see this as very common. Police reports rarely match body cam when good lawyers get a hold of it. Many people go to jail when police file false reports as well. Just the other day a guy grabbed a baby from the father and accosted him and then wasn’t even in the police report as even being in the scene. When a lawyer for another person got the cam footage most of what happened was omitted. He is a scumbag tho and hurts people who actually get assaulted
