So over the weekend, I watched: - xXx: Return of Xander Cage. I recommend a coat check for your brain but basically its if Fast and Furious was even less about the cars. Really good - Gods of Egypt. It's better than critics have said though still pretty bad. The second hour is way better than the first - Dunkirk. Easily my least favorite of the three. I respect it, and the way it interwove the three stories is cool, and the idea of a war movie that only shows the people in the front of it and avoids spending much time at all on the larger strategic picture is very interesting, but ultimately it just isn't my type of movie. We watched Thor: Ragnarok. (Tis funny) I'd watch Blade Runner, but it's almost three hours long. Not sure I can stand any film that long any more ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) EDIT: forgot to mention this happened today/last night, but that's mainly because it didn't affect me at all, (don't know how common that sort of thing is around here): www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-43027472

I have one question that I pose in almost everyone of these cases. "Why didn't they become citizens?" He overstayed his Visa. End of story. Kinda shows how disingenuous the supposed ‘merit based immigration’ theme this administration is pushing is. Under what assessment would this man not be eligible. Chemist, family man, community volunteer, none of that matters. It's weird. I had a friend from Malaysia who got citizenship after 5 years of just paying taxes (he was a singer and was working as s server in a restaurant). But this other guy, the chemist, couldn't get it? I am for a very strict citizenship path, but clearely the parameters are off.

I am for a very strict citizenship path, but clearely the parameters are off. He probably did several things right: 1-Didn't let his Visa expire. 2-Followed the rules. 3-Followed the steps to citizenship. I've known people who have done it in the past even tho it was easier at that time. They were honest, hard working men from Mexico.

Look at a map of Palestine in 1948 and one today. I don't think they'll be any Palestinians left in 2050. What country will the Israelis annex next? Although yes their land increased and I don't agree on how they did it, I am not a fan, nor I think they are right, of these catastrophic, conspirancy theories. So I hear (not from you) how Daesh fighters are not exactly criminals, and other stupid things like that, but prejudice against the State of Israel (the government of which is far from innocent) is fine. Ah Richie! I love ya brother. Speaking for myself on the topic (And only me) - I just don't like wrong, period. It isn't about prejudice (for me) against Israel. It's about being wrong (as it is with Terrorism). Isis fighters - well it honestly depends on the circumstances (again for me). Where they women who were sold to Isis, or where they active killers? That's why i don't think it's ok to generalize in that regard. It isn't that they aren't criminals. It is that they aren't all criminals. Shit, i don't even know if i'm explaining articulately. But i wanted to be part of the conversation I will say this: If they are criminals, even criminals don't lose their citizenship (at least up here).

Is it the coverup — or the crime? With Trump and Russia, we still can’t be sure Is the Mueller investigation mostly about obstruction of justice? Don’t forget about the underlying conspiracy This latest Trump White House scandal, involving one high-level staffer's firing and another's hasty resignation, after reports surfaced that they had been accused of domestic violence, has been infuriating. As is par for the course, the president stepped forward to defend Rob Porter, the man accused of abusing not one but two wives, telling the nation that he was sad for the poor man and that he "absolutely" wished him well. It was reminiscent of his earlier comments after Charlottesville, when he expressed the sentiment that some of the Nazis who rallied there were "very fine people." He always seems to find the good in violent white men. But this scandal is about more than the rampant misogyny surrounding Donald Trump. The irony in the fact that Trump's White House counsel, Don McGahn, and his chief of staff, John Kelly, allowed Porter to operate without a top security clearance in a job that handles the United States' most sensitive secrets cannot be overstated. This president ran an entire campaign insisting that his rival should be jailed for using a private email server for non-classified State Department correspondence. Yet here we are, a year after the inauguration, and the Trump White House is reportedly employing dozens of people who cannot qualify for a security clearance. One of them was in a job that requires the highest level of clearance and another, Jared Kushner, has apparently been given access to the same intelligence the president gets. www.salon.com/2018/02/12/is-it-the-coverup-or-the-crime-with-trump-and-russia-we-still-cant-be-sure/

Less than three weeks after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court struck down that state's congressional districts as unconstitutionally gerrymandered, the Republican legislature in that state has submitted a new map — one that is also heavily gerrymandered. The new Pennsylvania map was designed so that, based on the results of the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump would beat Hillary Clinton in 12 of the state's 18 congressional districts — the exact same number that he won during the election, according to The Washington Post. But Trump only won the state by a single percentage point. The GOP's new map would do nothing to remedy the inherently undemocratic nature of how Pennsylvania is currently represented in Congress. Even though Democratic congressional candidates have usually received roughly 50 percent of Pennsylvania votes in House elections, they currently only control five of the congressional seats. "It was probably constructed in mind to keep as many Republican seats as possible," Matthew Munsey, Chairman of the Northampton County Democratic Party in Pennsylvania, told Salon, while admitting that the new map was "a lot prettier in general." "There's been a number of analyses and there's still, you can still see some weird shapes in several places. It's not as compact as it could and should be in certain areas, and people who've done a political analysis, a partisan analysis, have shown that it does not significantly change the balance of districts," he added. Brian Amos, a redistricting expert at the University of Florida, echoed those observations. "Compared to the previous decade's plan, it was an improvement in measures like compactness and respecting county and municipal boundaries," Amos told the Post. "But there was still a strong Republican bias, which is why the congressional and State Senate plans were struck down for being gerrymanders." The controversy over Pennsylvania's congressional districts is part of a larger debate involving how the Republican Party has effectively gerrymandered America out of its own democracy. After the 2010 midterm elections, Republicans proceeded to so thoroughly gerrymander congressional districts in their favor that they could hold on to the House of Representatives even in elections like 2012, when their candidates received 1.4 million fewer total votes. www.salon.com/2018/02/12/pennsylvania-republicans-solution-to-gerrymandering-is-more-gerrymandering/

U.S. Intelligence Shuts Down Damning Report on Whistleblower Retaliation A top watchdog investigated 190 cases of alleged retaliation against whistleblowers—and found that intelligence bureaucrats only once ruled in favor of the whistleblower. The nation’s top intelligence watchdog put the brakes on a report last year that uncovered whistleblower reprisal issues within America’s spy agencies, The Daily Beast has learned. The move concealed a finding that the agencies—including the CIA and the NSA—were failing to protect intelligence workers who report waste, fraud, abuse, or criminality up the chain of command. The investigators looked into 190 cases of alleged reprisal in six agencies, and uncovered a shocking pattern. In only one case out of the 190 did the agencies find in favor of the whistleblower—and that case took 742 days to complete. Other cases remained open longer. One complaint from 2010 was still waiting for a ruling. But the framework was remarkably consistent: Over and over and over again, intelligence inspectors ruled that the agency was in the right, and the whistleblowers were almost always wrong. The report was near completion following a six-month-long inspection run out of the Intelligence Community Inspector General office. It was aborted in April by the new acting head of the office, Wayne Stone, following the discovery that one of the inspectors was himself a whistleblower in the middle of a federal lawsuit against the CIA, according to former IC IG officials. Stone also sequestered the mountain of documents and data produced in the inspection, the product of three staff-years of work. The incident was never publicly disclosed by the office, and escaped mention in the unclassified version of the IC IG’s semiannual report to Congress. The IC IG’s office declined to comment for this story. www.thedailybeast.com/us-intelligence-shut-downs-damning-report-on-whistleblower-retaliation?ref=home

Round One: Pence Hands Victory to N. Korea’s Kim Yo Jong at Olympics On Friday, the vice president made the world’s worst regime look friendly, handing North Korea multiple propaganda victories. Call it what it is: a failure of American diplomacy. First, Pence embarrassed Moon Jae-in. The American vice president stayed at the South Korean president’s reception for a grand total of five minutes. Pence also blew off his host by not going to the following dinner, leaving an empty space at the head table, which had to be rearranged at the last moment. Second, the vice president at the opening ceremony of the Olympics sat stony-faced just feet away from Kim Yo Jong, the younger sister, and Kim Yong Nam, the North’s head of state. There were no interactions between Pence and the North Koreans during the event, making the vice president look hard-headed. Third, and most significantly, Pence and wife Karen managed to disrespect every South Korean by not standing when the unified Korean team entered the Olympic stadium. Who cares about the three snubs? About 327 million Americans should. For one thing, South Korea is America’s front line. Without it, the U.S. defense perimeter would have to be drawn far closer to the American homeland. So offending South Koreans is not sound defense strategy. And that perimeter, now far more than in the recent past, depends on South Korean public opinion. Americans certainly cannot depend on South Korea’s newish president. On Air Force Two, as he winged his way back from South Korea, Pence told reporters he and Moon “spoke as friends.” Maybe the pair are buddies on a personal level, but Moon is no friend to America. Now 65, Moon grew up in the generation that saw the U.S. as the enemy of democracy in his homeland, and as President Roh Moo-hyun’s chief of staff, he attempted to move Seoul away from Washington and toward Pyongyang, Moscow, and Beijing. www.thedailybeast.com/round-one-pence-hands-victory-to-n-koreas-kim-yo-jong-at-olympics?ref=homeWay to go.

But i wanted to be part of the conversation I will say this: If they are criminals, even criminals don't lose their citizenship (at least up here). Someone needs to explain to me what crime they are committing other than associating with a terrorist group. We are not allies with the Syrians, the Kurds or the Iraqis. That the organization they associated with committed terrorist attacks throughout Europe or even Canada doesn't actually prove their guilt - we don't arrest people from the Hell's Angel just because many of them have been convicted of murder. I'm not saying we shouldn't evaluate them for their ongoing risk of threat and I have no issue with other nations barring them from travel, but I honestly struggle with tagging them with crimes that don't break the concept of jurisdiction (we don't prosecute people from crimes committed in Syria, Syria prosecutes them and we aren't about to send Canadians to Syrian prisons - the last one we did cost us 10.5M by court order). If it can be demonstrated that they aided in the planning, financing or general support to specific events in allied nations, sure, send them to said allied nation to face trial. But that's not what Syria or Iraq are classified as. And there are no grounds, IMO, for denying citizenship to existing citizens.

At the playground. Trump's USA with Pence, "Nobody wants to play with you NK, I'll neve talk with you. - Let's go guys" walks away. Other countries, SK first of them, "I'l ltalk to them. - Hello NK, how are you?" Trump's USA with Pence, "... ok we'll talk too. - hey guys... hey!" Kim Jong-un’s Sister Turns On the Charm, Taking Pence’s Spotlight
When the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, decided to send a large delegation to the Winter Olympics in South Korea this month, the world feared he might steal the show.
If that was indeed his intention, he could not have chosen a better emissary than the one he sent: his only sister, Kim Yo-jong, whom news outlets in the South instantly called “North Korea’s Ivanka,” likening her influence to that of Ivanka Trump on her father, President Trump.
Much as Ms. Trump has been when traveling with her father, Ms. Kim was closely followed by the news media during her three-day visit to Seoul and to Pyeongchang, which is hosting the Olympics. She flew back to North Korea on Sunday night.
Flashing a sphinx-like smile and without ever speaking in public, Ms. Kim managed to outflank Mr. Trump’s envoy to the Olympics, Vice President Mike Pence, in the game of diplomatic image-making.
While Mr. Pence came with an old message — that the United States would continue to ratchet up “maximum sanctions” until the North dismantled its nuclear arsenal — Ms. Kim delivered messages of reconciliation as well as an unexpected invitation from her brother to the South Korean president, Moon Jae-in, to visit Pyongyang, the North Korean capital.www.nytimes.com/2018/02/11/world/asia/kim-yo-jong-mike-pence-olympics.html Vice President Mike Pence Says the U.S. Is Ready For Talks With North Korea
The U.S. is ready to engage in talks about North Korea’s nuclear program even as it maintains pressure on Kim Jong Un’s regime, the Washington Post reported, citing an interview with Vice President Mike Pence.time.com/5143897/mike-pence-north-korea-talks/?xid=homepageThis is pretty typical of the liberal media in the U.S. They fall in love with a murderous dictator regime while crying about how bad our VP is. This guy would disagree with them. www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/01/30/north-korean-defector-ji-seong-ho-lifts-crutches-in-defiance-regime-during-state-union.htmlThat "old message" was the exact same thing Obama did for 8 years without a peep from the media.

Look at it another way: Mellie is generally viewed as a positive role model in the administration. If she didn't hate the lecher's guts he could have sent her to Pyongchang to soften the US' edge to the rest of the world. It doesn't matter if Kim's sis was a bomb designer (have no idea what she is) - her mere presence provided NK with an opportunity to present itself as a peacemaker. 'Merica, not so much.

Past admins' practices haven't gotten us to this point - comparing each others' penii have. Showing zero diplomacy and tact has lit the fuse to a possible nuke strike. Acting like a child and threatening to blow up stuff doesn't bring peace any closer.

Although yes their land increased and I don't agree on how they did it, I am not a fan, nor I think they are right, of these catastrophic, conspirancy theories. So I hear (not from you) how Daesh fighters are not exactly criminals, and other stupid things like that, but prejudice against the State of Israel (the government of which is far from innocent) is fine. Ah Richie! I love ya brother. Speaking for myself on the topic (And only me) - I just don't like wrong, period. It isn't about prejudice (for me) against Israel. It's about being wrong (as it is with Terrorism). Isis fighters - well it honestly depends on the circumstances (again for me). Where they women who were sold to Isis, or where they active killers? That's why i don't think it's ok to generalize in that regard. It isn't that they aren't criminals. It is that they aren't all criminals. Shit, i don't even know if i'm explaining articulately. But i wanted to be part of the conversation I will say this: If they are criminals, even criminals don't lose their citizenship (at least up here). Where they women who were sold to IsisBeing a prisoner never counter as being part of a group, so that doesn't count. You know what I mean, e.g.: people that willingly and knowingly participated and joined them. We don't need to have this conversation again. The citizenship thing wasn't mentioned here right? But ok. That's why i don't think it's ok to generalize in that regard. As it's not ok to generalize against Israel, which is my point. Land grabs the way they do it are not ok as I've said many times, but the general position in liberal circles is: Israel-bad, Palestinians-victims. It's not that black and white. Wrong is wrong for me too. We are on the same page! At least philosophically ;-)

Your argument silly. And nobody says NK is a good regime. And don't pretend you care. The stance that Trump chose hasn't worked for decades. And Pence was (is) simply nonexistent. And Faux News is not news. So you invent arguments, you take a political stance out of bias and the news outlet you mentioned is not a news outlet. Good job.
