The Logan Act prohibits American citizens from communicating with foreign governments to conduct their own foreign policy. This move by Republicans is not quite at that level. As Dan Drezner wrote, “I don’t think an open letter from members of the legislative branch quite rises to Logan Act...

America Must Reject Netanyahu’s War Cry on Iran http://reason.com/archives/2015/03/05/america-must-reject-netanyahus-war-cry-o

Love this girl. Her body is fucking ridiculous. Hope she sticks around for a while

Rational or irrational?

Do you believe Iran is a rational or irrational actor?

Your theory ignores the basic fact that sanctions on Iran have failed to stop their nuclear program. Decades of U.S. sanctions targeting the Iranian regime failed to achieve the goal of either compelling that regime to give up its nuclear program or causing it to fall. Likewise, years of U.S...

Netanyahu argues that a treaty that shackles Iran for 10 years is unacceptable because that is a "blink in the eye of the life of a nation." But there's no such thing as an eternal bargain. Even if we got the Iranians to accept a permanent ban, they could abandon it anytime. So could we You...

True, it was strengthened by making the embargo federal law. However, an embargo doesn't need to be made federal law.

The U.S doesn't have an embargo with Iran like they do with Cuba, they only have sanctions. The embargo with Cuba restricts essentially all trade and travel between the U.S and Cuba. With Iran, there's only an embargo on economic activities. It's really semantics though because no on really...

You can't strengthen an embargo. An embargo is a complete ban on trade. You can't get any stronger than that. You can strengthen sanctions which are trade prohibitions on certain products. On their nuclear infrastructure. Yes their nuclear infrastructure will remain intact but under the...

Do you have any concrete solutions other name calling? It's awfully hard to have a discussion on here when you bring nothing to the table other than name calling and insults. Blue where are you? We need an adult here

So you want to keep the status quo? Despite the fact that sanctions by both the Bush and Obama administrations hasn't stopped Iran from developing their nuclear program so far. Your solution is: Do nothing, and instead of just going ahead and developing nukes, Iran will see the light and...

So you guys don't want an agreement with Iran. Can you then lay out specifically what you want to be done instead?

Yes I see Iran as a rational actor and both Meir Dagan, former head of Mossad, and James Clapper see Iran as a rational actor as well. Their aggressive behavior in the region remains tempered by a pragmatic concern for its own survival. Netanyahu says that this deal "all but guarantees that...

Before I get name called let me first state I'm not anti-semitic or anti-zionist and I believe in the U.S/Israel partnership.....I'm simply saying can we stop with the fear mongering? Israel is not a developing country. Israel is now a modern industrial power. It has the most powerful military...

It's hard to take Netanyahu seriously because he's cried wolf too many times about Iran's nuke program. https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/03/02/brief-history-netanyahu-******-wolf-iranian-nuclear-bomb/ In 1992, he advised the Israeli Knesset that Iran was “three to five years” away from...

This is why I love what Google Fiber is doing. They're expanding to more cities and they're putting pressure on the likes of AT&T and Comcast to up their services. Just recently AT&T announced that they're going to match Google Fiber's speed and pricing in KC...

For fucks sake, they're not regulating the internet and the content you watch. The ruling pertains to regulation of the ISPs.

At least you're able to admit that you don't fully comprehend the concept of net neutrality and don't come on here spouting misinformation like others....*cough* Ace...but you hit on an important point which is increasing competition among ISPs. I support net neutrality but do I think the FCC...

As numerous posters have already said, you have no understanding of what net neutrality is. I suggest you do your research before you come back on here spouting your misinformation. The FCC is not regulating the internet, they're just regulating the ISP's. These are two separate things. Most of...

Re: New babe added to FreeOnes: Jessica Roberts She goes by Zoey James now. She's made it clear that she doesn't want to be called any other name besides Zoey. It seems like she's only doing cam shows now https://twitter.com/ZoeyJamesMFC

Ever since I've graduated college I've been looking for a way to keep my mind sharp. So recently I've began taking a few free online courses from EdX and Coursera. The latest one I just signed up for is called 'Central Challenges of American National Security, Strategy, and the Press', which is...

Do you get Al Jazeera America? Ever since I got that channel, that is my go to channel for news. Just like you I was tired of the talking heads and panel shows that liter cable news. If you're looking for hard news AJA is the best option

With all that's happening in the Middle East, do you think the West would be better off if dictators like Hussein and Gaddafi had been left in place? There are arguments to be made on both sides. It comes down to whether you're in the idealist camp or realist camp. Though it can be said that it...

I agree. You could say that Atheism is a religion but I would argue you're using the word "religion" too loosely. Religion can mean anything depending on the person. For example, some people consider football their religion.

I don't buy that argument. I know that my information isn't really private when I sign up for a Twitter account or a Facebook account because it's in the terms and conditions(even though none of us ever read them) that you have to agree to. If I don't agree with their terms, I don't have to...

This is terrible for companies like Seagate or WD. Either they were in on this with the NSA, allowing the NSA to have access to the firmware or they were oblivious to it. Either way it's going to hurt their bottom line. No one is going to want to buy a hard drive from any of these companies...

I agree. This is my last post in this thread. This is so stupid. Instead of discussing issues that have real world consequences, we're discussing this bullshit. This is basically a segment you'd find on cable news and I'm frankly sick of it.

Why would I give a flying fuck what Rudy Giuliani says? He couldn't be anymore irrelevant right now. Hey Rudy, just stick to doing LifeLock infomercials yeah...just my two cents

A little context on the article the OP is talking about. The article was written by Christoper Booker in The Telegraph. Along with with being a climate change denier, Mr.Booker is also a supporter of intelligent design, he believes there's no link between second hand smoke and cancer, and he...

This just baffles me. I'm not a law expert but from what I learned in my basic law course back in college is that federal law trumps state law. The Supremacy Clause states that the Constitution, and federal statutes and treaties, are the supreme law of the land. If there's a conflict between the...

And you wonder why Republicans can't get the young vote? :facepalm:

I don't really think any of these are snobs........Someone save this thread

For me the worst have to be music snobs and coffee snobs. What do you say?

Can you expound on that a little more?

Re: ****tewart Retiring From The Daily Show Fake news? The people who watch The Daily Show are already informed before they watch the show. The laughs Stewart gets are coming off a base of news knowledge the audience already has. The jokes wouldn't work at all if you weren't up on the news and...

Re: ****tewart Retiring From The Daily Show I'm going to throw a name out there as a possible replacement.....Bassem Youssef. He's Egypt's Jon Stewart and he was on last night's episode and he ******

Re: ****tewart Retiring From The Daily Show I wrote Stewart's name.

http://www.avclub.com/article/jon-stewart-says-hes-leaving-daily-show-215070 First Colbert, now Stewart. I can't handle all this change Why did the name of the host of The Daily Show get blocked in the thread title? Can a moderator fix this?

They probably took it down. They were getting alot of **** for it.

Has anyone seen the video? I saw it. In fact Fox News has the entire video on their site and they're getting hammered

This needs to be a PR war as much as a military war. Daesh is constantly putting out recruiting videos and we need to do the same. We need to be putting out more videos like this that will display to all those potential Daesh recruits what will happen to them if they chose to join up. Just...
