I haven't read the last few pages, has there been any discussion of Alice Johnson on here?


Nothing. Media seems to steer clear of it too

i think snipa and icemage mentioned it somewhere, might have been a diff thread. def no extensive dialogue about racist drumpf commuting the sentence of alice johnson in the media

speaking of which:

twitter marks the picture as “sensitive material” now. :rofl: only twitter would find the need to censor the public from a picture of some random guy grinning ear to ear

they certainly minimized the case during coverage and her role but she served plenty of time for it

I think there are far better choices but this wasn't a bad one, props to Kim for getting involved in something other than her brand even if it was for her brand (not an accusation)


TBH i think it was nothing but damage control for hte West-Kardashian family with the black community, post-Kanye slavery comments, pre-Kanye album release.

Look beyond Iran. Nuclear proliferation often occurs because states are insecure (I.e. Why you don't see many European states trying to build nukes).


the europeans arent trying to build nukes because two of their european neighbors, the UK and France, already have nukes. thats sufficient. if, for example, the russians were rolling to the west to conquer europe, the french and british would of course want to stop the russians as far away from their own territory as possible. they would of course try to use their nukes on polish and german soil and not wait until the russian tanks are already rolling down champs elysee. when it comes to geopolitics, the western european countries are a largely homogenic bloc which already IS a nuclear power.

Saudi Arabia is terrified of Iran so much so that their entire foreign policy revolves around containing it. The Saudis don't trust American protection (rightly so, Obama was about to cut them loose), are they next on the nuclear bandwagon?

I personally don't like drug sentences longer than 20 years anyways, but i don't believe for a second that she was innocent and she was 100% a leader in that drug ring. half of what got her pardoned was lies about her making a one time mistake and having a smaller role than she did. and now there's a chance more politically clueless celebrities can convince trump to do dumb shit.

she deserved to get out based on time served, but she is imo a liar. not that she'll go back to drug trafficking, her position was abused and she'll never work in shipping again.


Yeah... I have no idea about the details of the case... just my kneejerk reaction because drug sentences are way too long.

capping non-violent drug offense in the 20 year range is ok by me!

Like Mesothelioma? Want some Asbestos with your morning coffee? Scott Pruitt states that the EPA will no longer evaluate the dangers in current buildings with asbestos. Not that the states were doing a good job before, this just makes it worse.

The funny thing, during Pruitt's confirmation hearing, politicians and health officials brought up concerns of Pruitt loosening regulations on asbestos, but the GOP assured them that it wasn't an issue.

I also wonder how Rudy Giuliani feels about this given the health impacts of the world trade center on the surrounding communities and first responders.




And just for a laugh, some trump asbestos related quotes.

“I believe that the movement against asbestos was led by the mob, because it was often mob-related companies that would do the asbestos removal. Great pressure was put on politicians, and as usual, the politicians relented"

"If we didn't remove incredibly powerful fire retardant asbestos & replace it with junk that doesn't work, the World Trade Center would never have burned down."
