Random Politics & Religion #22

It seems that the Berkley police have a new, laissez-faire, approach to handling left - right demonstrations and counter demonstrations.

Or perhaps I should say laissez-sanguinem.

Keep them contained, let them fight, identify lawbreakers later from social media posts.

This Mother Jones article describes it well. And its probably the best idea the cops have had on the subject forever.

Paged!

There was no federal birther movement. There were no congressional investigations into his birth certificate. When I say libs in this case I mean the ones running the country in DC.

As overblown as that was, I still don't understand why providing a birth certificate isn't a base requirement for becoming a U.S. president. I don't care if you're white, black, whatever. The requirements to be president are right there in the Constitution, and it's not a lot to ask to prove that you're eligible.

Not going to happen. He loses all of his advantages now that he isn't competing with 11 Republicans.

He would be lucky to gain 40% of the vote in June.

Not in the sense you think.

It's the partisan *** that causes the gridlock and shitshow.

And here's a perfect example of how bad the shitshow is:

That is the attitude we're dealing with now. In the past both sides had their beliefs but ultimately they would compromise in order to get something they each wanted. Nowadays it's politically impossible to compromise, progressive ideology insists there can be no compromise, only submission to their new social order.

Yes and the conservative side is blameless, of course.

Obama did provide it, he provided the exact same certificate that I have. His state, like mine, only provides parents with a "short form" copy that states "Certificate of Live Birth" with an affixed state seal on it. The original long form is kept in the states medical archive as part of their permanent record. That record isn't for the person and won't be given over, instead another short copy of a "Certificate of Live Birth" will be generated and another seal will be affixed. What birthers were demanding simply didn't exist. Multiple laws prohibit these records from being made available to the general public on privacy grounds, instead a certified state agent will inspect the records and produce another record certifying their legitimacy, which is what was done multiple times.

On top of all that the US President doesn't have to be born inside the USA, they only need to be a natural born citizen. Natural born citizenship is given to anyone born inside the USA, or to anyone born abroad with at least one US citizen parent. Obama's mother is a US citizen and therefor any children she had, regardless of the father or place of birth, would be natural born US citizens.

The birthers never had any ground to stand on, from their very inception they were ignorant asshats trying to sabotage and deligitimize Obama's presidency from the beginning (sound familiar).

Voting is only legitimate when my team wins, any other outcome is illegitimate and the other team must of cheated. Therefor we should make a law outlaying any team except my own from winning, problem solved and the Socialist Utopia is founded.

Hey now, one of those ignorant asshats is our president!

Vic, I know you think that by scratching out words, they disappear in your mind, but that's not how it works in reality.

Please come back to us. Your parents/kids/significant other is worried about you.

The problem is, that was the only issue they had, and even then, almost all of the country didn't fall lockstep with them.

What's happening now on the other hand.....

Also, nobody is going to comment on the Fresno, CA incident that happened yesterday?

We're too busy paying attention to Aaron Hernandez!

No. A black man killing whites based solely on their race while shouting "Allahu Akbar" is not worth talking about. We need to wait until it's a white Christian killing blacks, and then we'll have a topic worth discussing.

Hey now, that's President Ignorant Asshat... or as I like to call him "Groper Cleveland".

Gronk just interrupted Sean Spicer.

Just link a story if you want to talk about it. The passive aggressive victim complex isn't going to stimulate discussion.

do you want him to serve as president in two non-consecutive terms in office!? BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE THAT HAPPEN!!!

ESPN is in love with this ***. Scumbag murders a guy sits in jail for a bit. Kills himself ESPN 24/7 coverage.

Wait, that's your shtick!

Protip: I already did. Who's playing the "passive aggressive victim complex" card again?

The guy who sang born to be alive?

ALL OF YOU.

I swear it's so hard to deal with you people sometimes.

INJURY REPORT: Aaron Hernandez (neck) out indefinitely.

In hockey we'd just say "upper body injury."

White knighting Pleebs, huh?

I find that offensive as a people !

This entire thread is a passive aggressive victim complex. Not just a few users...

I hear that Jill Stein Andre Pollard is demanding a recount.
