I'll be stuck in the last red state left standing? Don't worry, this tiny blue dot ain't giving up hope yet!
nice news to wake up to....
Jobless Claims For Americans Hit Record
Nearly 6.5 Million Drawing Unemployment Benefits As Corporate Layoffs Continue
New home sales plunge to lowest on record
Government report shows sales of newly built homes fell to an annual rate of 331,000 in December, lowest since reporting began in 1963.
howzabout President Obama thinks on both FDR and MLK A LOT. no "less thinking" on either.
and, not to be a dick, but the notion of a red state/blue state "divide" needs to be buried for good. (although i got a kick out of blue lensman's 'blue dot' comment)
Divide and Conquer!
Crooks and Liars would be a great benefit for the American people if they would STOP supporting the Democrats. Have you no memory, C&L?!?!
Democrats are quick to "change" their minds when it comes to voting.
Sure, I think Obama should be given more time to fully asses his policy. However, on his second day in office, he became a war criminal by violating Geneva and Nuremberg conventions. Obomba is controlled by the same interests as the Republicans.
You do not control your political parties. The military industrial complex does. The politicians answer to them. Not to you.
John Amato is a tool. John, stop your blind support of Democrats; they and the Republicans are one of the same.
You do not kill women and children in Pakistan without consequences. The consequence for Obamba is that he is a war criminal.
End of Story.
Change? Get real. The only change is the figure head we know as the President.
Get over it and demand change.
That calls themselves, "THE TRUTH." It's a right wing station that has Rush and Michael Medved on it. Hardly what I would call the truth. Faux says they are fair and calanced. You that use these types of labels are often just the opposite.
The Nuremberg code was primarily to prevent the kind of experimentation as Dr. Mengele.
Text of common article III of the Geneva convention:

1949 Geneva convention:

So you're going to have to be a lot more specific which provision the raid violates.
If John Amato and C&L are such tools, why not mosey along to some other site that's more to your liking? As I see it, this is a site for progressives to learn about and discuss the day's events and it's doing that job nicely.
bickering?
TheTruth has a monopoly on the moral high ground . . again.
first piece of signed legislation?
hells yeah President Obama
"It is fitting that with the very first bill I sign ... we are upholding one of this nation's first principles: that we are all created equal and each deserve a chance to pursue our own version of happiness. If we stay focused, as Lilly did, and keep standing for what's right, as Lilly did, we will close that pay gap and ensure that our daughters have the same rights, the same chances, and the same freedom to pursue their dreams as our sons." - Pres O
great job! thank you!

Article 51 defines what can and cannot be done with civilian areas with hostile parties within them, but even then the statutes balance the civilian injuries and deaths against the military objective.
And the United States is not a signatory to the ICC.
Not to be confused with Area 51
And I don't mean herb...

Or republicans after they got their asses whupped this election cycle?
.
Should be interesting.
a JTP interview?
bwahahahaa... time to pop some corn
.
Drinking Colt 45 sounds like a Texan version of Russian Roulette.
TARPS 1&2 won't do it (except to piss me off).
The Bad Bank won't do it (except to create the mother of all slush funds, Max Keiser here, and to piss me off even worse).
Nationalization would do it (that is what is been saying since day one, give the Fat Cats haircuts, show them the jail cell door when needed and clean the dung heaps up).
Roubini here.
is the only way to rebound this economic mess. Will any nation's leaders listen though? Nope. And the flocks of partisan supporters on both sides just stick their heads in the sand and pretend it's all cuz of the other party. These things (recessions) are part of a natural economic cycle that has been defrauded out of it's natural flow. The recession will eventually clear itself, and no amount of tossing trillions around is going to change that. Just so one political party can lay claim to "curing" the economy. What BS.
Meanwhile, libs and cons keep tossing more and more money at the corrupt bastards that created this mess, hoping that they will cure it. Ya right.
Seeing the map of districts and who voted for and against HR1 was really interesting.
Great Listen. Former President Jimmy Carter on the Diane Rehm Show discussing the Gaza and the I/P conflict with other scholars.
