How fucking stupid is "congress"?...

I don't want an answer.

I am continually amazed at how well these repug fucks can twist and turn and reframe and well... fucking lie about shit and issues and get (otherwise intelligent) people to fall for it.

The republican seems to think Social Security would be fine if the gov't hadn't gotten into paying people to not work. Whattever. (I laughed, grabbed a big-ol-glass-o-box-wine and left the room) The thing is he's not smart enough to invent these myths, yet he believes them, so who makes them up and spoon feeds his sorry moronic ass?

(inadvertently) We do. Liberals;Progressives; Dems... People who are so appalled that our gov't tortures that we push for a law against it. (h/t JP)

I don't know how the fuck "Waterboarding" became the poster-child for torture, but somehow it did. It's become damn near synonymous somehow and that's NOT a good thing. I've heard such stalwarts of Repug wisdom as Pat Buchanon go bonkers about how congress should just pass a law against the practice and end the argument. I've never liked that idea and it's not because I like torture, it's because I firmly believe we have all the laws we need in place already.

ever hear of little things called the geneva conventions? Uniform military code of justice? Army/Armed forces field manuals?

We haven't outlawed torture

we've/they've (this congress is so fucked up they are on "THEY" status just as much as the Repug congress was) opened the door for MORE.

"We have a law against waterboarding, but there's no law against bambooshoots under the fingernails; or against the rack; or against electric shock; or against sensory deprivation; or against...; or against...;" yeah and Jeebus never "SAID" it wasn't OK to DP a puppy with your dick and a strap-on, but.... come on, like... we have a debate there?

This is how these assholes work. They're literalists. If it ain't spelled out specifically, it ain't there.

One law has been passed against One procedure. you stupid fucks

You've just made legal.... who fucking knows what.

Get cracking on the untold number of laws needed to outlaw the untold number of torture techniques.

Dubya's laughing so hard, I'm sure he can't stay on his rocking horse. And the republican thinks we've legalized keelhauling, because we haven't outlawed it.

Some people are too fucking dumb to be called idiots.
