Kansas Scrambles To Change Rules After 6 Teens Enter Governor's Race
There are a lot of requirements if you want to vote in Kansas. You must be 18 years old. You need to show a photo ID at your polling place and show proof of U.S. citizenship when you register to vote. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights says the state's voter ID laws are among the strictest in the nation. But when it comes to the rules about who can run for state office? There are no rules. npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/02/09/584678163/kansas-scrambles-to-change-rules-after-6-teens-enter-governors-race

U.S. Secretly Negotiated With Russians to Buy Stolen NSA Documents — and the Russians Offered Trump-Related Material, Too
The United States intelligence community has been conducting a top-secret operation to recover stolen classified U.S. government documents from Russian operatives, according to sources familiar with the matter. The operation has also inadvertently yielded a cache of documents purporting to relate to Donald Trump and Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. theintercept.com/2018/02/09/donald-trump-russia-election-nsa/
Prior to the 2016 presidential election, if one were to ask what single act could seal a new Cold War with Russia, align liberals and progressives with the operational core of the American military-industrial-surveillance complex, expose the preponderance of left-activism as an offshoot of Democratic Party operations and consign most of what remained to personal invective against an empirically dangerous leader, consensus would likely have it that doing so wouldn’t be easy. counterpunch.org/2018/02/09/why-russian-meddling-is-a-trojan-horse/

Trump Will Not Immediately Release Democratic Memo, Suggests Revisions
Trump is like a five year old child when it comes to guile.

these people are actually psychopaths I really want the south to get tired of the US throwing hissy fits and distance themselves. If relations grow the US would fucking embarrass themselves if they were to preemptively strike the dprk.

ususally this is bullshit, but Trump is such an absolute disaster for US propaganda that he actually is causing the South Korean citizens to distrust the USA.
John Hughes
Just imagine being the poor US strategist who has reduce the complex plan to take out NK into a picture book so the President will actually read it.
I have a feeling the reason for all of this nuclear talk is because Trump is unable to pay attention long enough for anything more complicated than "push button".

So if SK turns on the Americans, what exactly can they even do about it realistically?
Tyler Torres
Attempt to cripple the ROK economy. Tariffs on products by the Chaebols etc. Which will of course backfire and probably further alienate the korean people.
Some kind of coup might also be planned to put into place more America friendly leadership.

First, South Korea would never "turn" against America. The very county's existence and continued existence is due to American intervention. The United States has a massive amount of military personal and weapons in the country to protect South Korea from the North. Their ties are strong.
However, this doesn't mean they approve of Trump's current administration, and since he seems to be fucking up constantly on the diplomacy front, they can do things that would politically hurt Trump. This could be opening up high-level negotiations with DPRK, which Trump is against, and easing their stance toward the North, which Trump is also against. They can keep it up until after the 2020 election and begin new diplomatic relations with a new administration.

Fuck the bastards, tbh. Let them run. Our drinking age is too high, our ages for everything are too high. America at the very least needs to stop trying to force teenagers to stay indoors and get zero life experience whatsoever. It's the most retarded fucking thing - the first place to ever call me back for an interview was a bar, and they all-but threw me out when they realized I was 20 (although it was in the fucking application). This kind of thing is a problem.

I'm sure a lot of US allies are taking the same approach: hunker down and try to weather the storm of Trump.
I don't know the details, but this Kevin guy sounds awesome. Just the thought of Germany having a real social democrat as leader of the social democratic fills me with joy.
I always view Germany as the heart of the evil empire. Its so refreshing to see that it doesn't have to be that
Christian Nelson
Well there is an interesting dynamic in that the SPD youth is getting more and more radical, meanwhile Momentum lads and lasses are assisting Die Linke in organisation. How this pans out will be interesting, but if the SPD joins the coalition then we could see a decently large leftist movement in Germany reunite. Perhaps not, but it is nice to think so.
Nolan Johnson
you mean that if they join the coalition it could lead to a lot of SPD youth going over to Die Linke?
this is so great, British imperialism, but instead of middle class murderers its a bunch of young activists, good stuff
Caleb Kelly
Jusos (Young Socialists = SPD youth organization) are idpol leftist shits though. I attended meetings and everything. They will never be popular if they go screeching around about idpol all day instead of tackling class issues as well.
Aiden Cruz

Gavin Rodriguez
are Die Linke more cool on id-pol stuff?
Adrian Martinez
currently reading a book about Swedish succ-dem prime minister Tage Erlander, it's pretty horrible stuff. Its the 40s and 50s but they are still essentially running a centrist government with even some mild austerity, while squeezing the communists as hard as possible. Then they get like 45-50% in every election. Its the kind of book that makes you realize a certain kind of social democracy is just fascism, with less military jerking off, more democracy and less of that charming mystical bullshit the fascists are so good about.
But that's not at all what people like Corbyn and Sanders represent.
It's almost as if social democracy isn't even close to being a consistent ideology
Bentley Nguyen
Linke are lots of left liberals and anarkiddies in West Germany and GDR nostalgic boomers in East Germany. You need to know that the Linke was a fusion of two leftist parties in 2005 - you can still tell. You have lots of idpol liberals in the West and some old-school socdem (and a few demsoc) guys in the East.
Dominic Nguyen
pretty good still that those forces are unifying, probably makes the boomers less conservative and the young liberals more left wing

yeah…i actually voted for the SPD for "tactical reasons" but that sure as hell backfired. i'm most aligned with the Marxist Leninist Party but they're a fringe party. the greens are liberals, so they won't get my vote. i'll either vote for the Linke or not at all next time.

i thought about entering the spd and helping strengthen their local left wing but the Young Socialists kind of disgusted me lol. on social issues i'm less liberal than they are but economically i'm far more leftist than the SPD base. so it would be a pretty uphill battle for a potentially very little reward.

One of the benefits of knowing a lot about the DPRK is knowing that they utterly despise China and China has a limited ability to reign them in.
Of course, Trump being an idiot saved China's bacon by distracting the world from their impotence concerning North Korea. Especially when it was becoming more and more obvious.
