Remember when the Repukes blocked chem. signatures on explosives?

[edhopper]

So they could track the use of explosives in attacks like today's.
Their priorities sicken me.

1. K&R. I remember lots of things.hard to forget the repetitive soundbytes telling it can't be done

and never saying anything that can be done when it could have been done had they not said it can't be done.
They can never let anything move forward.

4. The thing that disgusts me is the number of DU members willing to let republicans gain more

power by sitting at home or voting stupid. God, will we need Independents in 2014. Indies came through in 2014, I hope they stay the course.

2. I certainly do remember them.

I can still hear Bill Clinton pushing for them, and the repugs saying "No!"

[slackmaster]

3. Do you have some information about what kind of explosives were used in today's attacks?

Nothing about that has been officially announced or reported in the news AFAIK.

[edhopper]

7. Since they have an unexploded device

tracing the explosives to the source might come in useful.

But they can't because of the GOP.

[slackmaster]

12. Not necessarily. The explosive substance may be home cooked.

it may not be a commercial explosive.

9. It's not your job to chide people who discuss their opinions on this matter.

We are not required to provide documented sources for every fucking word we type here.

You, too, need to rethink your presence here if people discussing events, speculating, and stating opinions offends you so goddamned much.

DU IS A DISCUSSION BOARD, not a news media website.

[slackmaster]

13. Asking for clarification is not a form of chiding

[frylock]

10. it was the kind of explosive that blows shit up

[Archae]

5. My cousin, (a homeloader,) told me why he opposed it.

He told me the things they wanted to add to gunpowder to track explosives would have acted as useless filler.
Thus making powder less effective.

[edhopper]

8. You do realize that is

bullshit.

[Archae]

11. I don't "realize" it, since I don't know.

[Isoldeblue]

6. K & R Their pharisee hypocrisy can

make my blood boil, make my stomach churn. But then I have to take a deep breadth and tell myself, "Yes, human nature accounts for the, not-so-aware-or-keen people. But that's all the more reason, not to keep quiet".

We have to hold this, straight from hell congress, accountable for just this sort of thing they voted, no on again. And again, lives are lost because of their decisions. And the criminals know full-well that those decisions will make it easier to get away with their acts of terror.
