Gunfire at the US capital today. I haven't seen any names released yet, this leads me to suspect that the good of religion of peace is involved.

A police officer I believe was shot and they shut it down, at least that's what's being said here (I'm in MD). and times square has a bomb threat.

Paris didn't have a bomb threat. Brussels didn't have a bomb threat.
ISIS doesn't issue threats ahead of time, they want to take out as many people as they can.

ISIS doesn't issue threats ahead of time, they want to take out as many people as they can. Whether the threats are real, or fake, police all over the world are trained to take any report of a bomb threat seriously. Because they want to avoid as many casualties as possible.
Also, just because ISIS doesn't issue bomb threats, doesn't mean individuals or other groups won't try to terrorize a mass of people without a threat.

Well from 9-11, I think any bomb threat to the city, they'd take serious, but that's just me

I didn't conclude anything, I specifically said "suspect".

What I meant to say is: Why issue bomb threats? ISIS doesn't and gets maximum press time for it.

Like: I'm going to bomb a specific grocery store in Rome, Italy and you have 30 minutes to evacuate the building before I walk up with a bag on my back to blow it up.

Which is why I questioned if Pau Ryan was really as fiscally conservative as he makes himself out to be. His budgets seem to point that direction. Unfortunately they do not. His budgets slash services for the poor while ignoring corporate welfare, the black hole of funding that the pentagon budget has become, waste, fraud, and mismanagement.
Robbing from the poor to give more government funding to the 0.001% is hardly fiscally conservative.

They make them all the time.
I think they recently made it clear which countries they want to attack
UK
Germany
France
Belgium
Italy
The big cities in those countries, though they also said the UK would be the most difficult target

Robbing from the poor to give more government funding to the 0.001% is hardly fiscally conservative. Have you even read his budget? Not some interpretation you would find on HuffPost or Snopes (and before you jump on this, yes, I used Snopes on purpose), but his actual budget he issued.
Better yet, can you understand it. Do you have the knowledge it takes to comprehend what is written on that link I posted?

Italy despite having bad police has strangely pretty good secret services. Maybe cause we had internal terrorism in the 80s. They've already defused quite a few isis related plans here.

Yep, Larry Dawson, white 67 year old man from Tennessee shouting he is a Prophet of God.

Meanwhile, Monaco, Lichtenstein and Luxembourg are under the radar. Probably because few know those places even exist.

They are saying that this isn't a terrorist attack.

By Bloodrose 2016-03-28 16:51:25
Beer stocks.
Maple trees are only productive all year round.
And Moose stocks... well, some people have problems with moose knuckles, never mind stocks.

Beer stocks.
Maple trees are only productive all year round in the spring.
And Moose stocks... well, some people have problems with moose knuckles, never mind stocks. Fixed.
Among the many things I have done in my life was collecting maple sap and boiling it down to syrup. I was 12 and 13, the boiling pan was wood fired and a relic of the 19th century. The syrup was dark and smokey and probably had a weeks worth of iron in it. It was yummy.
Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
