Eric Holder states obvious, Rand Paul uses it to troll gullible liberals

I'm not a fan of any of the above.

Sorry, I get frustrated and F bombs fill the void quickly to express extreme disapproval of an action, place thing, or person. I'm sure to some it reflects badly on my discussion skills and that's no bodies fault but mine.

It is understandable that some do take offense to both the use of the word and the views represented when used. To that end I try to drop them sparingly unless a situation seems so over the top I lose the ability to do much rather blurt of my obvious outrage and frustration.

But with our impeccable record for careful use of drone strikes in third world countries, for reducing excessive use of force by law enforcement here in the states, and for having the lowest rates of incarceration of any modern country in the world; I'm not sure why I'm so frustrated.....

TBIJ reports that these strikes also injured an additional 1,228 - 1,362 individuals," according to the Stanford/NYU study.

Based on interviews with witnesses, victims and experts, the report accuses the CIA of "double-striking" a target, moments after the initial hit, thereby killing first responders....
