    Watch it again. The one cop already had her outside and she was disarmed at that point before the next cop came along. Then the two could hardly get the cuffs on her..very inept.

    First cop was too cautious and can you blame them these days?  I've watched it a couple times and each time come to the same conclusion.   They were in their right considering what she was suspected of and how she was acting.   I'm always critical of police when its due this is not one of those cases.   She was not complying.   If she would have shut her mouth and let them cuff her this thread wouldn't even be happening.

    are you on drugs..what if that was your daughter.:D

    You can't be serious?   She displayed a knife and threatened to kill security staff.   They did not use excessive force.   If it were my daughter and son I'd go and thank the police and think they he/she hopefully learned a lesson.   I tell my kids all the time, right or wrong do as the police say.   Its not to fucking difficult.   Anyone who thinks she wasn't resisting is on drugs. :good:

    The libs are really pushing this.  It's funny.  All we have been hearing about for the last month is that bernie was endorsing hillary. 

    Yet, he is still in the race.  Funny shit.

    They have to keep him "in" if an indictment gets handed down.  Bernie has a real problem because the African American vote doesn't go to him it stays home.  

  4. Big win for the anit-globalization movement.  :good:

    Bet the Orlando shooting even had some impact down the stretch.  

    All indications were that the people of GB were insulted by Obama's speech.   Big surprise.  :lmao:

    No one cares about this. Except right wing vomit media. I can tell what yesterdays spew was by the next days topics here

    What's sad is people like you, Vince and Shitrider don't care.  God man the woman wants to be President.  These are not lies and accusations made up by some vast right wing conspiracy.  These are facts released by Justice Dept and Investigators at the State Department.  Her own aid just took the 5th over 125 times when being questioned about this.  I can understand if  you want to post shit on Trump but don't sit here and claim your not pro Hillary when you say hardly nothing negative about her.

    http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/melanie-hunter/more-600-benghazi-security-requests-never-reached-clintons-desk-reports

    (CNSNews.com) – Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton acknowledged to the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Thursday that of the more than 600 security requests related to Libya and Benghazi that came in in 2012 before the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack none ever reached her desk.

    However, Blumenthal’s 150 emails reached her desk, Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) said.

    POMPEO: "Do you know how many security requests there were in the 1st quarter of 2012?"

    CLINTON: "For everyone or for Benghazi?"

    POMPEO: "I’m sorry, yes ma’am. Related to Benghazi and Libya. Do you know how many there were?"

    CLINTON: "No."

    POMPEO: "Ma’am, there were just over 100 plus. In the 2nd quarter, do you know how many there were?"

    CLINTON: "No, I do not."

    POMPEO: "Ma’am there were 172ish – might have been 171 or 173. … How many were there in July and August and then in that week and few days before the attacks? Do you know?"

    CLINTON: "There were a number of them. I know that."

    POMPEO: "Yes, ma’am – 83 by our count. That’s over 600 requests. You’ve testified this morning that you’ve had none of those reach your desk. Is that correct also?"

    CLINTON: "That’s correct."

    POMPEO: "Madam Secretary, Mr. Blumenthal wrote you 150 emails. It appears from the materials that we’ve read that all of those reached your desk.

    "Can you tell us why security requests from your professionals, the men that you just testified … are incredibly professional, incredibly capable people, trained in the art of keeping us all safe, none of those made it to you, but a man who was a friend of yours, who’d never been to Libya, didn’t know much about it – at least that’s his testimony – didn’t know much about it, every one of those reports that he sent on to you that had to do with situations on the ground in Libya, those made it to your desk?

    "You asked for more of them. You read them. You corresponded with him, and yet the folks that worked for you didn’t have the same courtesy."

    CLINTON:  "Congressman, as you’re aware, he’s a friend of mine. He sent me information he thought might be of interest. Some of it was. Some of it wasn’t. Some of it I forwarded to be followed up on. The professionals and experts who reviewed it found some of it useful, some of it not.

    "He had no official position in the government, and he was not at all my adviser on Libya. He was a friend who sent me information that he thought might be helpful."

    POMPEO: "Madame Secretary, I have lots of friends. They send me things. I have never had somebody send me a couple of pieces of intelligence with the level of detail that Mr. Blumenthal sent me every week. That’s a special friend."

    CLINTON:  "It was information that had been shared with him that he forwarded on, and as someone who got the vast majority of information that I acted on from official channels, I read a lot of articles that brought new ideas to my attention, and occasionally, people including him and others would give me ideas. They all went into the same process to be evaluated."

    POMPEO: "Yes, ma’am. I will tell you that the record that we’ve received today does not reflect that. It simply doesn’t. We’ve read everything that we could get our hands on. It’s taken us a long time to get it, but I will tell you, you just described all of this other information that you relied upon, and it doesn’t comport with the record that this committee has been able to establish today."

    The whole point of these lists is to establish precedent for impeding your rights without due process ......they will keep chipping away at this until the system is so convoluted that Constitutional Rights are a thing of the past....get ready for thought crimes. This bullshit is the stuff lawyers dream of.

    I have no problem barring any non-US citizen from getting a gun however, just because a biased govt official calls a US citizen a terrorist with little to no oversight and ZERO due process doesn't mean they can take away your Constitutional rights.   I'm not the one gone man....you are.  

    Reality is I'd like to kick out EVERY Muslim in the US that doesn't have a valid Visa and EVERY one that does should be investigated.   Bet you don't agree with that.

    When it comes to US citizens the Constitution should always trump knee jerk reactions to things as far as non-citizens are concerned anything including profiling goes.  Did you agree with WW2 internment camps of US citizens?   I didn't.   How many Muslim refugee's do you want let in?

    Nope just deflating the Trump threads. So a guy with no experience in foreign policy tells someone with years of it they are a disaster.

     

    That would be like me telling you you have no clue about your business specialty.

    So experience even if its mostly bad decisions is a good thing in your book? :lmao:

    You need to watch 13 Hours of Benghazi.  

    I don't like much of what Trump does but he is a far cry better than Hillary.  I once posted I would never vote for Trump and I'm man enough to admit I've changed my mind mostly due to the disaster Hillary is.  

    From the liberal leaning Politifact

    http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2014/may/19/ron-johnson/hillary-clintons-state-department-reduced-security/

    Johnson said that before the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, "the State Department not only failed to honor repeated requests for additional security, but instead actually reduced security in Libya."

    State Department headquarters in Washington did refuse repeated requests from its ambassador in Libya for more security personnel. And it decided not to accept an offer from the Defense Department to extend the stay of one of its security units in Libya, reducing the level of security that was available.

    We rate Johnson’s statement True.

  9. You can't make this shit up.

    It was beyond an epic mistake. I mean, what was Bill Clinton thinking?

    At an event in Spokane, Washington, Mr. Clinton called for putting “the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us

    http://dailycaller.com/2016/02/12/obamas-biggest-critic-thursday-night-was-bill-clinton-not-bernie-sanders/

    Yet Hillary wants to continue what Obama was doing. :lmao:

    Yeah the over producing is the worst thing. Our potato farms are hurting this year cause everyone in the country it seems had a great crop year which drove prices down a fair amount. Pretty shitty when you have a great crop year it actually makes you less profitable if the rest of the country did well...

    The cure for low prices is low prices.   The cure for high prices is high prices.  Problem is with agriculture its not a pure market.  People were still paying $10K + for crop ground when corn was $3.50/bushel.   :nuts:  Input costs of around $700 per acre it takes 200 b/a corn to break even.  Not a problem when FCI guarantee's you that amount.

    Family farms who own 10s of thousands of acres aren't most people's definition of a family farm even if it were owned by one family. Obviously my 300 cow incorporated dairy farm wouldn't be the classic "corporate farm" level of thinking either. :bc:

    Just going by what I see everyday around me and the facts in the article.   Not debating that farm subsidies shouldn't be cut back for all of them.  I wish I could buy profit insurance as cheap as they can buy crop insurance and not worry about over producing or prices being reduced because of supply and demand issues I contributed too.
