  1. I wonder why the White House says Russia isn't responsible for the nerve agent attack in the UK.

      Interesting, Tillerson did blame them. I guess he is not on Vlad's speed dial.

      "We have full confidence in the UK's investigation and its assessment that Russia was likely responsible for the nerve agent attack that took place in Salisbury last week"

      I am not sure how you claim I ignored the Bernie Sanders situation. You also should note that Sanders was not a part of the Democratic party.

      As I said, those on the right will ignore anything for the sake of partisanship.

      How so? Elliott claimed the voting irregularities, people voting in ridings they did not belong. Note that Ford won with a very slim margin, and that kind of messing around could easily affect things. I have no idea what the truth is, but what the frig is partisan?

      So she should ignore serious voting irregularities for the betterment of partisan politics, and look the other way like it seems many on the right choose to do?

      "The advocates were aware of the risks that social workers had identified, but they were able to persuade them to accept a detailed plan that would allow the baby to remain safely in the mother's care."

      At least in this case it appears there was some valid concern, although the baby did not end up being scopped away.

    "Angela Merkel admits that 'no-go zones' exist in Germany

    Conservatives and populists have long warned of the existence of such zones as the partial consequence of mass Muslim migration from the Middle East and Africa, particularly after Merkel opened Germany’s borders in 2015 as a response to the Syrian refugee crisis. Such areas are said to be dogged by high-levels of crime and are described as "no-go zones" because outsiders, including police and other authorities, are unable to enter.

      Did anyone ever get NK to say on record that they'd be willing to de-nuclearize?

       

      Duh, did you ever hear about the Agreed Framework between the United States of America and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea? It was signed on October 21, 1994,  with the objective of freezing and replacement of North Korea's indigenous nuclear power plant program with more nuclear proliferation resistant light water reactor power plants, and the step-by-step normalization of relations between the U.S. and the DPRK. I would say a signed agreement Trumps Trump's statement by a bizillion miles, but then that is just me. Keep on shilling for Trump, it looks good on you.

      I don't know what she means, only what she said. She did not say what those areas were, how many, how large, how they were created, who to blame, etc. Her focus seems to be from the federal level there needs to be some direction and standardization. In Germany, law enforcement is a state level responsibility. They do have a national police force, but the Bundespolizei have limited domain somewhat like the RCMP in Canada. They may patrol airports like Canada, and in Germany the railways are federal so they are policed by the federal force, but roads and the rest of the public space is the responsibility of the state level forces.

      Here is what she said, and my translation without all the above Muslim bashing and bullcrap about police not entering  that is not part of her interview at end:

      ...über das Thema Innere Sicherheit und dessen Dringlichkeit:

      "Das ist von mir immer schon ein Punkt, dass Innere Sicherheit die staatliche Aufgabe ist. Der Staat hat das Gewaltenmonopol, der Staat muss sicherstellen, dass Menschen, wann immer sie sich im öffentlichen Raum begegnen und bewegen, sie das Recht darauf haben. Das gehört zu unseren wichtigsten Aufgaben. Wir haben bereits in unserem letzten Grundsatzprogramm nicht Freiheit und Verantwortung gesagt, sondern Freiheit und Sicherheit. Weil wir wissen, Freiheit kann nur gelebt werden, wenn Sicherheit auch gewährleistet ist. Also das ist ein Thema, das uns lange schon umtreibt, aber das sicherlich heute eine sehr, sehr hohe Dringlichkeit hat."

      ...über ihre Vorstellung von "Null Toleranz" in diesem Kontext:

      "Das heißt, dass es zum Beispiel keine No-Go-Areas gibt. Dass es keine Räume geben kann, wo sich niemand hin traut. Und solche Räume gibt es und das muss man dann auch beim Namen nennen und man muss etwas dagegen tun. Und ich finde, dass Thomas de Maizière das als Innenminister sehr, sehr gut gemacht hat. Wir haben aber jetzt auch gesagt, wir wollen ein Muster-Polizeigesetz. Wir können nicht zusehen, dass in verschiedenen Bundesländern unterschiedliche Sicherheitsstandards sind und das muss möglichst vereinheitlicht werden."

      ---

      Internal security

      Government has the responsibility for providing a secure public space for the people. There is a high urgency to ensure that freedom and responsibility can be achieved in a secure environment

      "Zero tolerance" in that regard

      There are [geographical] areas where we have not achieved this level of security, and we must work hard to eliminate them. The Minister of Interior Thomas de Maizière made a lot of progress in this area, but we need to do more to unify security standards between different [German] states.

      The couple said the Easter Bunny...

      Not sure what is really happening here, that sounds like one account.

      the Hamilton CAS had said it expected staff and foster parents to put their "personal beliefs and values aside" when caring for children who are coming from "different settings."

      That sounds like the other perspective. Foster care is by definition a temporary situation where the care providers are paid to do a job.

      Here is what Butts actually tweeted, of course you expect Trudeau to acknowledge the people who twist words trying to provoke a response.

      The lesson to take from this joke being torqued by Infowars and other alt-right nazi friends of the Rebel is they’re paying attention. Game on, #TeamTrudeau.

      The best response to bullshyte questions is no response.
