The guideline on tweeting, linking etc has been slightly modified but the general idea remains the same. Can I remind everyone that:

But what will the spammer do if you make him actually think before writing a post??

There are enough of them that printing and selling misogynistic t-shirts is a profitable enterprise. So I'm not sure what you're complaining about.


Trump’s New York Co-Chair Says Michelle Obama Is A Man Who Should Live In Africa With Gorillas

Just a terrible coincidence that Trump's NY co-chair thinks the same thing, right? What bad luck!

AHCA amendment would allow states to take new moms off Medicaid if not employed 60 days after giving birth

I don't usually post things from Slate but in this case you can read the amendment they're talking about here, on pages 5 and 6. Single moms are exempted (can't be taken off medicaid if you're the only parent or caretaker in the family) but otherwise, back to work you go, find someone else to take care of your 2 month old!

Not really. The basic point that they haven't found a non-democratic candidate to endorse for president over the last 60 years remains.

There's an obvious liberal bias that some people just don't want to see.

What is the last NYT news article you read that was slightly skewed? Can you please link it and point out the parts that were liberally-skewed?

Sure but I don't think some of these dudes have seen this show yet.

Well, now, this is the whitest thing I've ever read in this forum.

Linked in that quote:

Incredible.

Judging something black or white, instead of good or bad, seems awfully racist.

One of the biggest mysteries in the forum is how did you get pooh bah status?

House Intel Chair: Trump was surveilled by Obama administration

This is the biggest story in a while, why isn't the press covering this enough, but instead hiding behind some unsubstantiated russophobic claims?

All people who were saying Trump was lying, could you please apologize and never ask for his resignation/inmpeachment again on your false claims? Straight from 00:00:

Kyp -the sort of claims you made in that last post (now deleted) would require some very credible quotes to even be considered as acceptable.

Also Tommy Robinson is not some authority on anything, represents nobody and it's just hateful rhetoric rather than anything that might be allowed here Not at all keen on that person 'interviewing' him either.

Trump said he was wiretapped at Trump Tower. Even if the allegations of "incidental surveillance" are true, this doesn't vindicate Trump in any way. Trump people apparently talked to other people who were under surveillance. And, of course, Obama didn't order nay of this.

Stop watching Fox News. That stuff rots your mind and makes you unhappy.

He is a political figure and former leader of EDL. Not a random person, like you seem to implicate. Not that I necessarily agree with him on any of his points.

Why would you let biased, unsubstantiated anti Trump propaganda fly around here, saying e.g. that Trump is in bed with Russians and worse stuff, without any concrete evidence, if the basis is that one needs rock solid evidence of everything anyone claims here?

The left would rather censor him than listen to his arguments. I think stupid ideas should be allowed, so they could be argumented down. The Weimar republic did have quite modern anti-hate speech laws, and they were the basis for numerous prosecutions against leading nazis, with convictions that included jail time. That didn't lead to anything good.

Is that a lie too? I think the claims should be investigated to see if they are true or not.

Sir, God Emperor is old and wise, probably born before my grand parents. God Emperor is not accustomed to these modern surveillance mechanics and the nuances of modern communications, so terms such a wire tapping and surveillance might get conflated.

Perhaps best quality of God Emperor Trump is that Trump won't back down infront of the witch hunt resistance, like expressed by David Horowitz:

PS. Tucker porn is the probbaly the best show in a while, and if I wanted to become a depressed person I would just watch CNN and MSNBC and their constant unsubstantiated fake narratives that the world is coming to an end.

If you are arguing that he is an idiot, I concede that point. But he tweeted about the "wiretapping" based on Napolitiano's Fox News reporting--reporting that got him pulled from the air. Trying to back into this evidence from another angle just isn't going to work.

Do you understand the difference between a newspapers' editorial board, and the general direction of its news coverage? They are not often aligned, ideologically.

Pretty sure Napolitano came after the tweets, the FBI was batting down the claims and Napolitianno then came up with the well I have heard it was not a FISA warrant but rather a foreign operation claim.

If Trump can show 1) numerous calls/ conversations of his transition team were some how recorded or part of surveillance 2) his transition team was unmasked without any obvious reason for such and 3) That it was widely disseminated in Obama's administration without a reason unrelated to Trump and his team, then he is fine. Not sure he can show the above and it will be interesting.

Otherwise it appears the left wants to hang their hat on the technicality of how the information was obtained rather then was it obtained and was it used improperly. Who cares how it was obtained, if it was and used improperly.

I can't think of any example where a paper's editorial board clearly leans one way buy the "general direction" of their coverage leans the other way. Do you have an example of a paper that does this?

Spicer and Trump repeated the Napolitiano claims, but you're right on the timeline. I think Trump got his info from Mark Steyn or someone else like that.

The Wall Street Journal has a far right editorial board and its news coverage tilts only slightly conservative.

Senate votes to block internet privacy regulations

GOP looking out for the little man by...letting big companies sell their internet browsing history to advertisers.

As always, it's amazing how Trump and the GOP successfully redirected populist anger into standard GOP orthodoxy.

Trump's tweets simply parroted Fox News, and Napolitano, now dropped by Fox News, kept the pot boiling by repeating conspiratard nonsense from Russia Today: RT nonsense put out there by the same moron who invented the Michelle Obama 'Whitey tape' story. And even that moron, Larry C Johnson, says nobody should take his word for it.

GCHQ themselves called the claims 'nonsense' and NSA director Adm Rogers said they were 'epically stupid', because the Five Eyes treaty, dating back to Bletchley Park, doesn't permit any such thing.

After Spicer says in today's press briefing he still expected a healthcare vote today, vote is delayed as GOP fails to get their ducks in a row

LOL this incompetent party
