  • Our politicians are so lazy,stupid,corrupted and unnegotiable now.

  • Yeah, but Obama didn't veto it. Double talking bastard.

  • Our greatest fear is we might start treating ourselves the way we treat the rest of the world.

  • wow that is bullshit!!! So all they have to do is point a finger at you and throw an accusation your way, say "terrorist" and your a suspect with no rights???? I am from Canada and have absolutly no problem with America, i Love America but come on how far is it going to be taken. Pick on your own countrymen???? I call BS on that one! Sure, there are bad people everywere but, make your rules, rights & stick with them. Pls correct me if i am wrong herem but i see phsycological warefare happening.

  • lol USA become a third world country management. USA is not democratic any longer and USA do not follow constitutions any more.

  • VETO MY ASS HE PASSED IT!! HE IS BUSH'S BLACK BROTHER.

  • Mark Kirk is a inconsistent coward. He canceled out his vote when he supported the final passage.

  • Meh, whatever Cenk you can see that as a victory but you're still living in a fascist society, what happens when a big enough group of people wants to go a different way? HEEERE COMES THE POLICE, not enough? OPEN FIRE, not enough, HEEERE COMES THE MILITARY...

  • home of the brave,the land of the free MY ASS

  • First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

    Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me

  • what is the bill name/number?

  • Except for the part where the act excludes American citizens and legal residents.

  • @willden15 Haha wow, the law doesn't exclude american citizens, it includes americans

  • @Murat123aydin456 "(e) AUTHORITIES.—Nothing in this section shall be

    11 construed to affect existing law or authorities, relating to

    12 the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident

    13 aliens of the United States or any other persons who are

    14 captured or arrested in the United States." Sec 1031.

    Furthermore, Section 1032 refers back to section 1031 for the limitations on the detention powers. Read the bill, do not be ignorant.

  • what do you know obama asse it

  • lol it is sad but that is the rotten spirit these days it is only our future that is not importand and are jusfat spoiled pigs that whabt all from nothing

  • Obama just signed this bill today...probably because people are so occupied with they're families and partying...i think this is treason personally.

  • Masonic Zionism just have succeeded in turning the greatest country in the world "USA" from a democratic country to a dictatorship country, that means that whole world will be really bad in the next couple of years.

  • @mrc0vert

    'Greatest country in the world'.

    Lol, the tv did its job on you.

  • @SSTTEEAALLTTHH Unfortunately the TV never mention anything regarding how dangerous the Masonics and the Zionism are on the whole world, I believe you have no clue of what I'm talking about, of you need some translation to what I'm talking about just try to use Google before you open any of your holes XD.

  • And what's fucked up is the people who called Alex Jones a nut just a few months ago or even a few years ago find out he's been right this whole time on what we've seen so far .

  • Do you have a citation to the statute that supports your position? A specific section number?

  • Where is my post? I saw it in the comments section last night and now it is gone. I had something to say that was different about this and now it's gone. WTF?

  • Babylonia is crashing down.

  • Hadeus Corpus is DEAD.

    The Law is DEAD.

    America is DEAD

  • @WulfBand **Habeas corpus

  • @TheYoungTurks Check your facts please watch?v=jHaJrnlqCgo

  • (CBS News)

    The White House is signing off on a controversial new law that would authorize the U.S. military to arrest and indefinitely detain alleged al Qaeda members or other terrorist operatives captured on American soil.

    Great ... so here are our "representatives" at work. Since now that this new law is passing ... what shall we do now?

  • this is foolish,who the heck comes up with idiocy? how the heck do they sleep at night? what the heck are they smoking and drinking?

  • I'll wait n see if Obama vetoes this bill and then decide if Obama "truly" opposes this bill.(?) We'll see.

  • govt' is outnumbered 400 to 1 hahahaha

  • National Defense Authorization Act S. 1867 SEC. 1032. REQUIREMENT FOR MILITARY CUSTODY. (b) Applicability to United States Citizens and Lawful Resident

    Aliens.--  (1) United states citizens.--The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.

  • @jvclark2 The key word here is requirement. They can still do it if they want to, but it isn't required unless it's a foreigner.

  • @FirstWhispers but I'm really confused on this issue. Am I reading the wrong thing or am I just that oblivious? From what I read it explicitly states it doesn't apply to US citizens. You pointed out the word "requirement" but even with that, I don't see how this allows indefinite detention of US citizens.

  • @jvclark2 If you are connected to Al Quaeda or a terrorist organization or have committed an act of belligerence against the US, then you must be detained unless you are a US citizen, then they can choose to detain you or not, they are not required to. If they choose to, then they can allow you a trial or not, it's up to them.

  • @FirstWhispers Basically they are Op!

  • TYT: Obama's Press Secretary asserted that the President is against this Bill because it LIMITS his powers, not because he thinks it's wrong or unConstitutional to indefinately detain U.S. citizens. He is against the provision that says the President needs a waiver to detain U.S. citizens. So, so much for your "thoughtful" Constitutional scholar. For real, I'm a Ron Paul supporter, and I wouldn't trust Ron Paul with this type of power. Cenk's cohost said torturer Obama could be trusted? STFU!

  • This Bill could backfire on politicians.

  • Fuck this im voting for Ron Paul now. I wasnt sure before but yeah.

  • @guitarfuckist Yeah a guy that was not there to vote against NDAA. He was not present. COWARD!

  • @guitarfuckist Ron Paul won't change shit lol. and your a fool to think that.

    sure he has some good ideas, but most are very extreme

  • To religiousabuse ,by the term "Orwellian" I am making a reference to George Orwell's novel "1984' I think we have a lot more to fear from our government than we do "terrorists". Many of tactics the dictatorship used to control the people are starting to come true in America.

  • @MrBigfan007 I've been thinking more about that book ever since Ron Paul started making subtle references to it in the last forum and debate.

  • @xMiCHaElGaBRiEL I've been thinking of that book since Bush pushed warrantless wiretaps through Congress. Actually, even before, when surveillance cameras started appearing at intersections.

  • Considering the US/NATO gave Libya to two groups of terrorists one being Al Qaida this law is utterly ridiculous. The US suffers from absolute stupidity.

  • precursor to Marshall law

  • 1 % didn't like this

  • Even though there's a provision of the bill that specifically exempts from the military detainment policy, the Patriot Act already gives the AG, SECDEF, and the president the power to declare a US citizen an "enemy combatant" and detain them purely on suspicion that they're a terrorist.. Plus, regardless of exclusions, you and I both know there are cops and soldiers who would (and frequently do) break the law whenever they can say they were "just following orders." It's already a police state

  • I hate Politicians sometimes.

  • @Tyrik73 Sometimes?!?

  • Argentina doesn't have any money???

    YOU HAVE THE BIGGEST FUCKING DEBT IN THE WORLD YOU IDIOT.

  • @wannabesupergirl

    Actualy my friend Argentina is recovering quite nicely these days even in the midst of this world crisis. Suprised me too.

  • Pissed all over the constitution, and took a shit on it while at it.

  • The FBI is well funded? I thought one of their problems is that they aren't well funded.

  • We still have the power of the vote. Pull out all the stops and vote 100% against the republicans that's the beginning. They are the most vile, deviant, criminals on capitol hill. We would then have only one real enemy to conquer. That would be the democratic, conservatives, traitor, blue dogs, republicans in sheep's clothing. Then we can go state by state and pick them off one by one. The battle didn't start yesterday and it's not going to end tomorrow. There's pain along the way

  • @geezerdombroadcast Here's a better idea: Get rid of representatives entirely and impliment a direct democracy.

  • @geezerdombroadcast More democrats voted for this bill than republicans you idiot! both parties are exactly the same. They are both criminals that couldn't give a shit about the people or the constitution. There are only a handful of people out there that are honest and care about the people like Ron Paul. Just voting for democrats because they are democrats is just stupid and its people like you that only vote one party that are responsible for continuing to send the same crooks to washington.

  • hussein bin laden obama isn't going to veto this it is something he wants , he wants to be the all mighty that can have total control of everyone's life and the taking there of

  • @kalsdirty1

    Dude dude dude dude????????????? What the F%&* are you thinkin man. Obma has performed brilliantly in office with dignity, and grace under pressure. I would remind you that most of the top Al quida scum are dead now because he authorised those strikes, including the Ben Laden Raid. I suppose you can be paranoid and say he's not really dead. Asserting that Obama wants to be a despot with power to do you at the drop of a hat is crazy and off the charts. Leave the drugs alone.

  • i was born here. but i am not american. i am human, and i hate this country. facism wearing freedoms mask. how pathetic.

  • @TheAmericanArts The country isn't the government, it's the people. If you hate us, why don't you get the fuck out?

  • @Vyna80

    because i dont have the money too. and id much rather try to make it a better place. land does not belong it any man or any government. it belongs to all human race. better question, why dont you get out?

  • @TheAmericanArts Why would I get out? And, yes, land does belong to people.

  • there is no way obama is going to lose next year its just no way......

  • Yikes, I better stop trolling politicians on Yahoo News!

  • First deployment of 20,000 troops domestically by next year. Now detainment of American citizens without trial? STEPS TOWARDS A POLICE STATE.

  • What Obama should do is veto the bill then if Congress still overrides his veto he should say "OK" then declare every single Congressman and Senetor who voted for this provision a terrorist suspect and arrest/ detain them under this provision. :/

  • @mjh012363 THIS! I'd +1000 this comment if I could.

  • @mjh012363 absolutely brilliant....i think this is the perfect "final solution"....that our executive powers ought to have....good idea....i know it will never happen...but maybe this is the "first act" that ought to be threatened in return.....give these police state affectionados...a taste of what fear smells like for they themselves...

  • @mjh012363 Oh snap! :O That's super sly!

  • @mjh012363 why would he do that?

  • @mjh012363 Do you know that Obama and his administration are actually the ones who removed the wording the would prohibit indefinite detention? Think about that for a moment, he didn't just only sign the bill, NO, he requested to have indefinite detention without due process.

  • @babiker2468 And did you know that was not revealed until AFTER I had made my original comment?

  • @mjh012363 To bad he signed it

  • @Murat123aydin456 If it's any consolation though he did include a paragraph of intent not to hold any US citizen indefinitely so I guess we'll have to make sure no Republican ever becomes President again. :/

  • the U.S. Senate is a millionaires club full of politicians from both parties who make their money the old fashioned way: through bribery.

  • @contacter haha i thought your name was contractor at first. OH the irony

  • America needs a new Revolution.

  • @contacter You on the list now. First was phone calls, then google, then emails, now or soon youtube comments.

  • @spaniardmale77 my friend, were all on some agencies or corrupt corporations list these days. List or not, if and when they come to get me ill be sure to take several of them out lol Long live freedom

  • you know shit is about to hit the fan when fox news starts being honest.

  • @gentlemanREX They are honest?OH SHIT!

  • ROCK THE STATE

  • The USA Army goes around the world killing hurting and plundering the people when they fight back we call them terrorist.The USA law enforcement they go around America hurting killing and plundering the people ,When the people fights back we call them homegrown terrorist that the game the elite plays that everyone is a terrorist except the rich people & political class they trained the people to think that everyone is evil but the rich & political class.It takes police to have police a state

  • Yea try to prove these satanic jews havent got us by the balls now truthers

    Out With the Jew

  • @GreatWhiteUnite What do joos have to do with congressional bills?

  • I'm sorry, Congress, but there's this pesky thing called the Constitution ....

  • @fatcharlie24 And it's not going to stop them. And it hasn't stopped anyone for quite a while now.

  • Martial law is coming.

  • congress has now declared war on the american people.

  • I say let's all get control of our local democratic offices. Nothing scares the professional politicians more than that. They know if they have people picking away at their local power base they've had it. The republicans have employed that strategy for years. They get control of the local precinct committees. If the Democratic party people used that strategy they would rule the world. We will rule the world soon; my right wing friends. You should be afraid! Be very afraid ! No mercy HA HA HA!

  • 2012 cant come quick enough........

  • @PlantsWithBuds Wont make a difference if the wrong person is elected. Its a shame, but i'm scared for America.

  • im moving to England 

  • Can someone please give me a link to where I can see whether or not my two senators from California voted for this?

  • When Bush and Cheney first started us down this road we were as close to civil war as we have been since 1861. That danger has not yet passed. I would strongly suggest that we all participate in destroying the right wing so they can never get their hands on the trigger again. If we allow these phsychopathic lunies to get the reigns again we are in big trouble my friends. All this talk of a third party is way to premature. The Democratic party is right now our best option.

  • @geezerdombroadcast Many democrats voted for this bill as well. Both parties are the same.

  • @DP3mo24hofosho I hear what you say; but you are inaccurate. They are both depraved but to different levels, and for different reasons as I have said their disease is treatable the republican disease is terminal. If you think you can start and run a successful 3rd party campaign between now and next November I would have to say that would be extremely difficult. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. It's unlikely. If we fail then the most vile and despicable right wing filth will be at the helm and that's bad.

  • @geezerdombroadcast more democrats voted for this bill then republicans. And you are right, a 3rd party candidate has no chance at winning unless he is a cerebrity with name reconition and a tin of money.

  • In response to my friends who see Armageddon in every news story. I would advise them to examine history from a professor's point of view. Any good history professor will tell you of the myriad predictions of the second coming of various dieties not just Jesus. It's a weekly even daily occurence accross this whacky world of confusion and propaganda we live in. There have always been two kinds of people those led by the nose ring to the slaughter- SHEEPLE, and Manipulators.USE YOUR MIND OK" :(

  • @geezerdombroadcast anyone ever point out to you that you're a pedantic, patronizing personality?

  • Someone is obviously angry about Occupy wall street. Soviet Union is starting to look like America.

  • Even fox is against this, damn we're so screwed if this passes

  • I think you're a little misinformed here. It required military custody of Al Qaeda suspects and their affiliates planning attacks on American soil, American citizens are exempt. It also allows the administration to waive that authority based on national security and hold a suspect in civilian custody.

  • Welcome to Nazi Germany!!!

  • Thats it! Im moving to Mexico!

  • Waooooooow this is sick!!

  • If Newt Gingrich becomes president, I'll snap. That's a promise.

  • Why this faith in Obama? Has he made good on any promises?

  • @wordlyfe yes he has....

  • oh yeah we're not headed to a new revolutionary war, time to take down Soviet Russia i mean the united States

  • This is soooo reminiscent of the 1793 Law of Suspects that French revolutionaries passed during the Reign of Terror. One of the official clauses was to detain people who have "not steadily manifested their devotion to the Revolution"; in reality that meant shooting somebody on the spot because you didn't like the colour of their shoes.

  • fuck the feds and the gov !

  • This reminds me of that time this six year old girl wasn't allowed to board the plane because she was on that suspected terrorism list. If this passes, would innocent people like her be arrested without trial? X.x That and I'm pretty suuure someone would probably use this to arrest innocent muslims x.x It could be abused so much..

  • Obama just executed an American citizen without due process! This dip shit commentator would feel okay giving certain people these powers?

  • welcome to the New World Order everyone!

  • So Bigbrother will not be a communist government but a capitalist government, fascinating its like the biggest troll in history.

  • Ron Paul is the only person candidate speaking out against this. And you can bet that Obama will sign this bill, because the Democrats and the Republicans are two sides of the same corrupt coin.

    Vote for Ron Paul or kiss your freedom goodbye.

  • @Hendrix92TheUniverse obama has already spoken out against it.

    stop promoting ron paul, he's a fuckin science denying pro-lifer. whilst his economic ideas are a far cry from his other republican buddies, he's still clearly as crazy as they are.

  • @Rabsputin He's still the best thing you have. Yeah I know, that's a sad state of affairs, but with ANYONE else you can forget your nice Republic. Say bye-bye, and welcome a fascist corporate state.

  • @reptilespantoso i'm not american, but that doesn't matter. whatever happens in the US affects everywhere anyway. the whole world is fucked.

  • @geezerdombroadcast IN that time they will call good evil and evil good. They will lie agaist the truth. they shall sent strong delusions to believe a lie from God. All those who loved not the truth that they could be saved. You should propbably read my book Prophecy Hidden In Plain Sight. Then once you do you will either know what time we live in or your won't.

  • @PatriotTexas -- One spore of the gang green blighting America.

  • how come ben doesnt have a microphone ??

  • KEEP FIGHTING BACK PEOPLE, DON'T JUST POST COMMENTS. LETS GET OUT THERE BECAUSE THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

  • (b) APPLICABILITY TO UNITED STATES CITIZENS

    AND LAWFUL RESIDENT ALIENS.—

    (1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS.—The require

    ment to detain a person in military custody under

    this section does not extend to citizens of the United

    States.

    Yeah have fun with that

  • The obvious problem with this scandal (and that's what it is, a scandal - the bit of legislation and it's associated loopholes is scandalous) is that we have a Senate that not only is capable of drafting this kind of garbage into the military spending bills, but also of explicitly approving of it as a legislative body (voting down the amendment to remove the bullshit).

  • 1: Obama is puppet and everybody with a brain cell in their heads read through his BS. None the less he can veto it id he want.

    2: Just like bush jr he is only 1/3 of the legislative branch. They can override his veto like the libtards did bush in his term.

    The only reason obama is pissed off is because the libtards are even tired of his sh*t and that idiot cabinet of his crap and want him gone. Is it no wonder the libtards are hiding are the damage obama has done to the libtard party.

  • I thought McCarthy died a long time ago.

  • One of the most hilarious things I've seen in recent political debate is that, virtually to a person, it is the exact same people who scream bloody murder about the abuses of power by the federal government (real and imagined) who are the first to say we need to let the government detain people indefinitely and waterboard people. Aren't they worried that when the Death Panels come to take their guns away, they'll get waterboarded?

  • @jimbrown257

    *I meant to add that the Pauls seem to be the only exception to this hilarity.

  • Also lets not forget that the evictions of occupy wall street were carried out by the department of homeland security and that the department of homeland security is part of the executive branch. Of the money is good the president will use these powers. Its the way the system works. Ben is such a moron. I am constantly surprised by what a moron he is and that he is allowed on air.

  • Ben Mankiewitz is a fucking moron. People in power will always misuse their power unless they have 1. tremendous self control or 2. a system of checks and balances. Congress has no interest in conducting oversight on the executive branch since they spend all of thier time fundraising so essentially the president is a dictator. If he is willing to use the patriot act and push for SOPA because hollywood is a large campaign contributor he will use these new executive powers.

  • Sounds like McCarthey-ism.

  • "Guess who is also on our side? President Obama. WHO WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT COMING?"

    Well, to answer the question, you did Cenk. It was well known that shortly before the election Obama would become liberal again, in fact you have said this million times before. Guess, what? Election is coming. I saw it coming, so did you.

  • Obama lose to Gingrich?

    Obama is no god, but let's be honest, it wouldn't be hard for a a former Harvard Law Review President to out smart Gingrich. Come on.

  • @braydenbeautiful Gingrich has been in politics a very long time. The idiot obama and his muslim pals don't have clue how smart he is and how he has learned to manipulate politics like the late queen ted. You keep hanging on to your delusion. I will not vote for any libtard and if the libtards manage to destroy the hopes of the rest leaving Gingrich as much as it pains me to say it. I will be forced to vote for him if the team party is shut out. You think about that for a while.

  • @PatriotTexas You don't need to put Texas in your user name, as your blatant ignorance and obviously skewed views already points you out as a person from one of the most backwards, violent, and ignorant states.

  • The Senante passed it

  • echo!

  • ...

    Ffffffffuck. They heard all the cracks I was making about the Ministry of Love, and got ideas.

    Sorry, everybody, this is my bad. I should have known better than reference 1984 around conservatives, sorry.

  • HAIL KAZUYA!

  • Comment removed

  • @bagofPLMZ

    Took a bit longer than he expected, but he really nailed it.

  • ALL THIS TERRORISM IS CREATED BY YOUR GOVERNMENT , YOUR SEAT OF POWER HAS THE ANTI CHRIST IN CONTROL , AMERICA NEEDS REAL CHANGE , YOU NEED YOUR DEMOCRACY BACK , AS WE DO IN UK

  • arm yourselves and be ready to defend yourselves; don't be the terrorist, but if your life is at stake from government assassination, you have the right as a human to defend yourselves.

  • It passed and only 7 senators voted against it 4 democrats and 3 Republicans.

  • @elfil76 It still needs to pass in the house.

    And even so Obama will veto it.

    It won't become law
