I'm sorry the real outrage last night should be about how these voter suppression laws target minorities.

This was not the Democratic "establishment" trying to get Hillary to when

These lines where caused because of voter suppression tactics aimed at minority groups, but now everyone got a taste.

That should be where everyone's outrage should be focused, that's where everyone's outrage should have been focused.

I got white friends that would give me a sympathetic head nod when I was ranting about this months ago, now telling me the feel like protesting now. Like really, now you're pissed

Warfare casualties. But it's disgraceful how people think we're crying wolf until they're affected too Shorty knew what she was doing and then had the nerve to blame voters.

If happens all the time, during the '08 recession, I can't tell you how many of these "bootstrap" wannabe conservatives would **** on anyone getting unemployment, until they were laid off, but now it's OK since it's them.

There is a Democratic establishment and it does have a heavy DLC style inflection. However, I do agree that the trouble at the polling places is largely a reflection of how f----d up a State Arizona is. The State of Arizona may be the most White Supremacist State in the Union. Therefore, it is not surprising that they would underfund any and all non law enforcement government services, including voting and voter services.

 

[Master Zik]

Voting services should really fall under federal authority. They keep talking about all this voter fraud bs and each states want to set up all of these transparent requirements to vote like ids it should be directly handled by the government nationally to cut that bull **** out ASAP.

Obviously the more corrupt states can't be trusted to not interfere and sabotage a civil right like voting.

 

[dathbgboy]

Set federal mandates and have the states to institute them.

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

So basically Bernie wins wherever Cruz wins?

Also, it's incredibly suspicious they called Arizona for Hillary while tons of people were still waiting to vote.

She had already got the majority amount of delegates/votes for it to be impossible for Bernie to win or something along those lines cuz there were only a few more polls that hadn't closed.

 

[frink85]

I'm amazed that no one calls out these candidates or their representatives for equating "following US and international law" = "being too politically correct"

Apparently torture is what's hot in the streets right now

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Right but they called it with 1% of the vote in, according to the news outlets. That always just seems odd to me.

They're also not supposed to call a race until all the Polls have closed so they don't influence the remaining vote. At least that's typically been the case.

 

[RustyShackleford]

From what I have heard, the DNC didn't call the state for Clinton while only one percent of the votes were counted

The AP predicted her as the winner, with only 1% of the votes were counted

And it is common for news outlets to do call races with polls open. Biggest example, Obama has been projected, and declared, the winner while the West coast polls were still open.

I hear you but so many ppl involved with this are doing things they're not suppose to do with the candidates. Not a surprise media is doing it as well.

I know the whole reasoning behind calling a primary early and then discouraging would be voters from showing up but they obviously don't care.

I'm used to it.

 

[blco02]

Is this dude for real??? He plays golf right after announcing the James Foley beheading, gives a lackluster response after the Paris attacks, catches a baseball game and does the wave with Castro yesterday during the Belguim attacks, now he's doing the tango.

At least ACT like you give a damn. He missed political optics 101 class.

 

[niketalker23]

That's my president

 

[superblytrife]

Dude acknowledged the tragedy in Belgium. Is he supposed to just sit around and pout all day now? It isn't like he doesn't have a job to do.

And trust if he spent too much time on the Belgium situation, folks would be complaining about how he needs to worry about America's problems.

Barack can't win, yet he's winning daily. I love that it angers people so much, too. Makes my day.

 

[blco02]

When you've lost MSNBC...

 

[ninjahood]

That's my president

Obama is a President that can actually go to other cultures and act like he has some class. Trump as President would be like taking that high school friend who never left your town in rural Massachusetts to see the opera. 



Trump: Ah, loook at them dressed like a buncha qweeez (chews tobacco and sips moonshine). 

Lets be all da way fair...Bush used to be

Raked over da coals for having da perception of being aloof during pressing events...

Obama's foreign policy has been a unmitigated

Disaster according to no partisans that have

Served under his adminstration and have since

Resigned.

That's because he was Furthermore, it's one thing to be aloof during pressing events abroad, whatever, I get it, but to do so on your own soil is just pathetic.

 

[whywesteppin]

I defended bush and I'm defending Obama. there are tragedies every day in this country and abroad. if the president had to cancel his plans for the day every time something happened, he would just spend 365 days a year flying out to visit victims and give speeches.

I think if any of us could be president for a day our opinions on this sort of thing would change drastically. it would probably get very annoying very quickly if you had to spend every minute worried about a "gotcha" moment.

 

[rillo561]

It's just more fake outrage, there's nothing Obama can do about the Belgium tragedy. Acknowledge it and move on.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Notice how none of these imbeciles talk about the terrorist attacks that happen DAILY in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. Boko Haram and ISIS blow up villages and markets of people on a daily basis in Africa. Brussels is ALL OF A SUDDEN an extension of American soil but the Ivory coast and Nigeria isn't? The President should put his life on hold because white people got killed in Brussels and Paris but when it happens in Nigeria no one gives a damn

As a child of Africans this has always annoyed, untold carnage can go on in Africa, but let some Europeans be involved and everyone loses all sense of perspective.

U really wanna stand by da "fake outrage"

comment in an era where liveleak footage of

Folks with their legs & heads blown off

At Brussels is a twitter link away? ill

Let u walk it back if u want..

 

[teamjordan79]

i agree with ninja's haiku...the coverage of brussels dwarfs any terrorism reporting in africa. Moreover, people sadly expect bad things to happen in africa whereas Brussels is the capital of the EU.

 

[rolaholic]

Same could be said about Turkey that's been going through major bombings/attacks weekly lately or anywhere non western really...
