"Homelessness", it's like something hit too close home. Are you poor, is a big house in the suburbs your lifedream?

Give me a break, your projection is annoying.

Hey, someone at least planted 8 trees. If everyone planted 8 trees, and then also went back to pre-1800's style of living, we'd actually be un-fucked.

Remember that time when multiple gaffers argued in earnest that satire or jokes aimed at Trump should have a disclaimer before/afterwards, stating that he's a real menace to society IRL and that there's nothing to really laugh about.

Trump nominated one of my law school professors to the 3rd Circuit... what to feel...

So I learned Trump nominated one of the professors I had during law school to join the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals (based out of Philly, covers PA, NJ, and DE). A single, non-SCOTUS judicial appointment is, in the grand scheme of things, relatively insignificant. But it's so bizarre to me that someone who taught me criminal procedure 3 years ago may soon have a lifetime appointment to decide appellate cases... especially by Trump of all people. What a time to be alive, I guess.

[zepblackstar]

how do you go to law school and then say this?

A single, non-SCOTUS judicial appointment is, in the grand scheme of things, relatively insignificant.

Circuit Appeal courts are pretty much the endgame for most cases and rulings in the entire country. An appointment especially based on who is in power is pretty darn significant.

The DNC needs to shut Bernie up. Because he's not just going to stop on his own.

You don't get to be an anti-establishment figure (despite being in the establishment for decades) by working well with others. Bernie sees the current state of the left as the opportunity to remake the DNC in his image, only his politics suck and he refuses to see the world for what it is.

He's a petty, blundering old man and that's not going to change. Stop trying to build a coalition around him. Perez is a fool.

[zepblackstar]

Bernie ain't a Dem. He doesn't care what you think.

Plus watching establishment Dems pile on Hillary is hilarious this weekend. So many #stillwithher people mad as hell.

Would you pay $299/yr for PS+?
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1388891
Relaxing on a Saturday morning, had a thought.

What if Sony announced a second version of PS+ at E3, that acted as an all in one entertainment pass for $299/yr? At first glance, this would seem crazy, but what if it included:

Online gameplay
Cloud storage
Core (sports + live TV) package access to PS Vue (currently $540/yr)
Full access to PS Now (currently $180/yr)
PS store discounts

Vs

Online gameplay
Cloud storage
Free monthly games
PS Store discounts

No more free monthly games, but the overall value of the multiple subscriptions would make up for it.

I know a lot of people don't use Vue or Now, this could create a much larger ecosystem for those services to thrive in and make PS+ quite different than competing services.

Thoughts?

I'd do it for PS Vue alone (I'm already paying $35/month for it.)

I thought that making him the antichrist before even won the republican nomination didn't help more that laughing at him.

I remember GAF having meltdowns even before Trump was beating Ted Cruz.

[FStop7]

I sub to PA Vue during the NBA season and then drop it for the rest of the year.  So for me the $299 thing doesn't do much, but if you do use those other things then it would be a great value.

You don't want to invade the entire middle east and institute freedom?!?!

You must be an favor of isolationism. 

The hard-on for pie-in-the-sky hawkish policies has always been honestly, to me, the most disturbing (and revealing) axis of discussion in PoliGAF and I say that as someone who accepts that bombing foreigners is often a viable way to further / defend national interests (yours, theirs somewhat by chance once every blue moon). They say a lot of dumb things but aren't we all ? I'm certainly no expert in any relevant topic there and politics is WOAT level of discussion 99% of the time anyway. But it really takes a special kind of hubris and stupidity to think the US (or "the West") could at will create secular democracies in North Africa and the Middle East if only they really meant it, especially after the Irak and Afghanistan wars... or you know, reading international news for longer than a week.
Then again I guess that when you assert the Arab Spring can be reduced to "it was pretty damn obvious that the people were saying that they wanted democracy" or pushing the disingenuous "I'm pretty sure we had international backing when it came to getting involved in Libya." (International backing collapsed almost immediately when some argued that the spirit of the limited in scope UN resolution was betrayed by NATO powers), I guess you're kinda there.

Swimming upthread, the whole discussion starts with this gem :

2) Like I said, there is a very good argument to be made that we were gonna be involved in Iraq anyway due to the Arab Spring. Obviously fuck Bush for making up bullshit reasons for going into Iraq and then making us waste resources looking for nonexistent WMDs and nonexistent connections to Al-Qaeda (instead of focusing on helping Iraq rebuild into a secular democracy).

Trump and W ended American hegemony.
We no longer have standing or reputation in the world.

Don't worry love, you still have as of now this massive army, thousands of nukes, network of international bases and countries relying on your guarantees. Goodwill is easier to replenish. Russians are doing just fine despite being a stunted state for decades, or so I've been told by GAF.

[benjipwns]

i don't know what you're talking about...

isn't the elephant in the room with the Bernie-theory of the Democratic party... Russia?

obviously, the Hillary wing believes it absolves all of their mistakes, and the Bernie wing tries to sweep it under the rug so that they can point to the failures of the Dems (to the point where Greenwald and co. are furiously apologizing for Putin every opportunity they get)

I find the Berniecrat argument significantly more unpersuasive, tbh.

I remember right after the election PoliGAF was pretty openly shunned and mocked in GAF OT forum. I guess a lot of those people were banned by Bish when he went rogue? I just wish that the usual suspects of PoliGAF had a little more self-awareness and not be so brazen about their political predictions after yass queening themselves into public humiliation.

Notice that nowhere in his post did he acknowledge how right they were about Trump (who he probably voted for, something he'll confirm by rushing to deny it), not to mention the whole "Bernie Sanders" (who was never even in the Senate until Hillary started running for President and then suddenly he pops up there?) gaslighting psyop being run by Russian gamergators thing.

I like how they have reignited a cold war scenario. if history tells us anything is that paranoia was the most frequent state of mind when you create the narrative that the commies have infiltrated every sphere of society. Then again I shouldn't be surprised considering many active posters have all sorts of disabilities to live off welfare.


Ugh, that bat thread. so, if I say "I hope you die" it's exactly the same as saying "I will kill you here and now" according to the usual suspects on GAF. Cool. I guess we should report neogaf to the FBI considering how threatening the userbase is to the life of the POTUS

Are you a lawyer? Because my cousin is and i'd be happy to ask her about the legal grounds the man had to stand on by inciting violence for 25 minutes straight, disturbing the peace, harassment and terroristic threats. Brb.

In conclusion after a call with my cousin, some of you people should sincerely stop citing the law and have a gross misunderstanding of what constitutes free speech and not terroristic threats of violence against minors, even vague ones. Even more dubious is how often the law is bent depending on the judge whenever cases like this prop up and how "fullest extent of the law" typically only applies for minorities and women.

These dummies never really think through their bloodlust. If it's morally and legally okay to hit people with baseball bats because you don't like what they say, then there isn't any reason why angry Bible Belt conservatives can't do the same to you when you're talking about things they don't like. And yeah, if a government doesn't protect speech some - or even most - find offensive, then that is actually a breach of the 1st Amendment, despite what little turds who continue to parrot 'FREEZE PEACH DOESN'T MEAN FREEDOM FROM CONSEQUENCE!!!!!"
