Will China or Russia actually refrain? Who knows, but hopefully he will feed his people.

>>26607
Even if Chinese and Russian companies would circumvent the sanctions, I think it's symbolically significant that China and US together agreed on these terms. A nice 'fuck you' to Norks

>>26618
This.
China is NK's biggest supporter and the only ones who can say anything that NK would actually care about.

Mackowiak said he was especially uncomfortable with the prospect of Morrow engaging in local politics, the core function of the job to which Morrow was just elected.

“We have someone who ran here who absolutely has no intention of serving the Republican Party with leadership and faithfulness,” Mackowiak said. “His social media account is something that no child should see. He is a total disaster.”

Although Morrow was elected with just more than 25,000 votes — 6,000 more than his one challenger, the incumbent chair James Dickey —Mackowiak said he and others would consider leaving the county party altogether to form a new Republican organization if they could not remove Morrow from office.

“I will not rest until we remove him as chairman,"Mackowiak told the Tribune. "He’s going to be an absolute embarrassment to the party. And if we fail in these efforts, we will start an alternate organization.”

Even as Mackowiak attempts to unseat Morrow, Morrow has called Mackowiak’s own conservative credentials into question, especially because of recent tweets from Mackowiak that included the hashtag #NeverTrump.

“I don’t even think Mackowiak is going to support the Republican nominee, who is probably going to be Trump,” Morrow said. “What kind of traitor to the party is Matt Mackowiak? The incredible amount of damage someone like him does to the party —and he’s a douchebag.”

Morrow, who’s also tweeted that Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is “very likely a gayman who got married,” said he supports the brand of Republican politics he most closely associates with Donald Trump and Sen.Ted Cruz.

“The Republican Party, I would hope, is about limited government with a libertarian perspective,” Morrow said. “But it’s a big tent, and there are many factions in it, and that’s okay with me.”

>>26592
Morrow’s main complaint is with “establishment” Republicans, who he does not believe should hold elected office, he said. Last week, he tweeted that the Republican National Committee was just a “gay foam party.”

Morrow has a long history of critiquing prominent state Republicans in vulgar, and often sexually explicit, terms. For years, he has alleged that Perry is secretly bisexual; in 2010, he referred to him as “Gov. Skank Daddy” in an email.

“Perry is an epic hypocrite,” he told the Tribune on Wednesday. “I think he has been a rampaging bisexual adulterer for many decades.”

Though Morrow has tweeted often about sexually explicit acts involving Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton and his last several Facebook profile pictures were of scantily clad women, he said he denies any charge that he is sexist.

“It’s derogatory toward Hillary Clinton because I hate Hillary Clinton," he told the Tribune. "But I’m not sexist. Why would you ask that? I’m not sexist.”

“I like beautiful women, I celebrate feminine beauty,” Morrow added. “I’m like Donald Trump —I love women.”

When the Tribune asked about the content of some of Morrow’s social media posts, without using the specific racial slur Morrow had employed, Morrow seized on the omission as an example of corruption within the media.

“You are a perfect example of what the Trump movement is revolting against because you can’t even pronounce the word n----- when you are talking about a Facebook post,” Morrow said. “What a pathetic excuse for a reporter you are.”

“The context of the post is quite gentle, but maybe you’re not smart enough to figure that out,” he added.

Morrow did not spend much time campaigning for the position he now holds.

“I didn’t spend one penny,” he said. “I barely asked anyone to vote for me.”

Morrow will assume his party post in June.

After Hillary releases her speeches to GS :^)

i don't understand, first they go, "dont build wall that raicyss" then "i will also build wall :^)" and now "hey, i heard from some sources that trump may not build a wall"
i am ready to hear someone say, "wow trump disavowed that ex-KKK David Duke guy, talk about listening to every american and getting along with everybody eh? :^)"

serious i am not american, but if you see all this bullshit and still don't vote for him you kinda deserve to be used as a slave to the elites

>>26570
I think Trump's scandal is worse because he has nothing to campaign on anyway - so now we learn that his core issue is a lie? Say it ain't so, Don!!!

His last name is "Smothers" and he's homocidal... pretty ironic, eh?!

>>26642
a little more info would be appreciated.

Petition to stop a criminal from being arrested? Fuck off.

I'm sure he paid them.

Remember that meme?

I remember the low turnout = Republican win meme.

Ah salty tears.

Maybe I am misreading this, but are you confused about how primaries work?

>neither Apple nor any other tech company ought to be permitted to create “warrant-free spaces”

So basically he believes nobody is allowed to have any level of privacy or protection from police or government agencies.

>>26511
yep. it's good to see they clearly can't access the technology to do it themselves. That doubt has always been on the back of my mind.

Also, that they don't seem to know how the things work

>>26731
Anybody with the internet can reset the password on an iPhone. I've done it three times myself (twice, due to my boss being an idiot, and once because my friend's father died without giving anyone his password.)

This is a power grab. They don't need Apple to crack the phone. Even if they did, there's likely next to nothing on the phone itself. Most everything you do on those ends up in the cloud, so they could just as easily go after the, traditionally cooperative, ISPs.

It's now statistically impossible to beat Cruz in Alaska. gg Trump.

Obamacare has nothing to do with dental insurance, let alone dental care prices.

Health care prices have been rising in America rapidly over the past 30 years and more and more Americans are opting to go to other countries for medical procedures. This is nothing new.

>>26478
Then what is making health care prices rise?

It's not surprising considering the establishment against the god-emperor

“I think this is an incredibly important movement that should involve all of us,” Dr. Short-Gooden added. “Black Lives Matter is not just for black folks to embrace, and it’s wonderful to look out in the world and to see such visible diversity in terms of ethnicity and race. I think Black Lives Matter is aimed at eliminating all racism, whether it’s intentional or unintentional; whether it’s conscious or unconscious.”

When asked if the university has been sufficiently active in the movement, Hall immediately said “no,” and that he wished the university would devise a tenure program that will protect teachers from losing their positions when they advocate issues.

“It is difficult to put yourself in this type of activist movement,” Hall complained. “One of the best things we can do for that is to create a program that will give that type of faculty, particularly young ones, a little bit of greater security so that they can advocate on behalf of the things they believe in and the things that they research, and not feel as though they are putting themselves in jeopardy or putting their families in jeopardy.

“For students, these are the type of discussions that need to be happening in the classroom,” he continued, saying, “I’m very fortunate that I’m a sociology major who’s about to graduate, and I have the flexibility in my schedule to allocate my time to being part of this.”

Younger students, though, he fretted, “can’t commit all the time to be on the streets protesting, and if this stuff were being discussed in classrooms; if this were being talked about in anything other than perhaps the African-American Studies and Sociology departments … I would wonder if the need for the amount of energy we’ve expended would be so great.”

Hagan concurred, saying she wished students were both more eager to protest and had the free time to do so.

“I think it’s very hard to find students that are truly motivated and want to do something,” she complained. “I know we all have so much homework to get done and studying to do, and there all these more fun, more exciting things we could be doing with our Friday nights but I don’t think there’s ever going to be a convenient time to stand up for social justice.”

Dr. Shorter-Gooden went even further, opining that the principles of the Black Lives Matter movement should be integrated into coursework regardless of their relevance to the subject.

“It’s not just in terms of supporting Black Lives Matter; it’s not just the protest or even the name changes,” she asserted. “It’s what happens in the classroom; to what degree we educate all of our students—whether they are in sociology or engineering; whether they’re undergraduates or grad students—to understand the context in which they live and the context in which they will work, so I think Black Lives Matter needs to be there in the classroom regardless of the discipline.”

During the question-and-answer portion, an audience member asked the panelists what white activists can do to help the movement, to which Hall responded that “allies” (white activists) have to be willing to go jail alongside black activists.

“For a lot of ways my blackness is a crime, the blackness of some my fellow brothers and sisters and not conforming has been a crime, and we’re being persecuted just for our pure existence,” Hall said, arguing that even if his white counterparts aren’t doing anything “inherently wrong,” they are nonetheless “compliant” if they don’t actively stand against the system.

“For example, I don’t need you to tell me you feel sorry for me as a black person; you don’t have to apologize for the mistakes of your ancestors,” he explained. “What I do need is when I’m out there protesting; when I’m trying to make this movement with the rest of my black counterparts, I need you to have my back. I need to know if I get sent to jail, then you’ll have to be going to jail with me in solidarity because you care about this cause.”

As the discussion was drawing to a conclusion, the final Twitter question asked, “Can the Black Lives Matter movement overcome political division in the USA, especially when looking at Donald Trump and other racist candidates?”

Councilman Day answered that students must be more politically involved, noting that his own family had been involved in politics in the area for almost 80 years.

“I’ve heard the stories; I’ve heard the challenges; I’ve heard what people are saying, but one thing I’ve found out is that in order for their voice to truly be heard, they have to be part of the establishment,” he told the audience.

But things were going so well!

Hi Hillary!

Pretty much the kind of bullshit that gets the US hated. Not that the locals would put two and two together

THEY JUST HATE MUH FREEDUMB

">They are there to shield local capitalists"
in other words --- They are there to shield local businesses from foreign monopoly.


Do ppl actually think this is bad or something?

They need a boost in their local economy in any way they can get right about now cause their in the shitter (and/or designated shitting street). Buying import panels won't be increasing "competition" so much as it would be bullying out their local companies from having any chance of competing.

>>26382
WTO, who'd of thought that larger richer countries would try to bully poorer countries and get away with it.
