Proof that they're actually doing so in large numbers (in the range of thousands to tens of thousands or more)? Please distinguish fact from conspiracy theories. It got disbanded. Naturally, Trump blamed the Democrats, but it was resistance from both parties in most states.

I think that was a bit of sarcasm or tongue in cheek.

Anyway, back on topic: http://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-australia-42660071/truck-ploughs-through-cycle-race-finish-line-in-australia (video)

As sharpie said, it's a politically correct version, so, of course it doesn't have ICE (Immigration and Customs (as in imported goods) Enforcement for those not familiar with the acronym). In which they'd probably deport the elderly man who lived there for more than 30 years.

This is a politically correct version. The original I heard places the grandson of the man in prison, which makes more sense. I'm sure there are less politically correct versions, but the joke here is the reaction of federal authorities, plus the implied surveillance. Not sure why the military is involved in this apparent copypasta, but I suppose it just makes it all the more silly. edit: Oh wait, I get it for military.

Is anyone agreeing with Trump that poophole nation X is a poophole nation? Or is it all 'he's a racist!' madness? He did indeed call Africa a country. @val: Theres no question that there are countries where things are pretty dang bad, Haiti for example is one of the poorest countries in the world and they're still trying to recover from a devastating quake. But its the context here, he slammed countries with black people and referred to Norway, a largely white country. I'm sure i don't have to explain to you what that might look like. On top of that, it's not a one-off, it's part of a pattern. He might not be a raging racist, but he's pretty dang insensitive and inconsiderate.

Are you provokingly insinuating that I'm supporting SJW impartiality by choosing Hollow Knight as an avatar? If so, you're wrong. I picked this specific avatar because Hollow Knight was one of my goty for 2017. Furthermore, the Knight is a negotiate of the elders so it makes sense for the Knight to be genderless, it's like a doll that came to life to do their bidding and nothing more. Sure there is patrionized fan-fic of te Knight falling for Hornet but this was all false as the Knight cannot and does not show emotion. It's simply a thing summoned to bring back order, so with that I'd say the game or Team Cherry aren't the SJW type. I think he meant it as an interesting coincidence rather than trying to insinuate anything.

I also think it's interesting that even before the fake news era conservatives already distrusted the majority of news sources In the 90's CNN was oft referred to as the Clinton News Network, largely because Wolf and co. would often spend time figuratively doing on the air what Monica did in the office. Never heard of that. Conservatives and Trump supporters did use that during the campaign as an opportunistic way to mock Clinton or CNN.

That's a false equivalency and you know it. Let's make every single character a unicorn that shoots rainbow-lazors out of their ass since we're already at "it's high fantasy, reality is out of the window and we can do anything we want". Hell, if that is the approach we take, why not make a game with ZERO gay people hm? I mean, it could be a fantasy world where homosexuality doesn't even exist. Or if anything goes with the fantasy, why not make a proper juvenile male fantasy where every single female character becomes a sex-slave to the player? The vast majority of the target audience consists of men after all, and you'd be surprised how many women are into that S&M domination stuff. Because they aren't going for an X rated game?

Lol... As was said earlier, the only content that was removed was a backer thing, though I don't know the specifics behind what was said. Given how they took things seriously like the Orlan racism, I fully expect them to take issues like gay romance (if that's what the OP is getting at with SJWs), etc, seriously. They even had a relatively light touch on gay/lesbian stuff in White March and Iselmyrs antics with appearing to hit on both Kana and Pallegina.

I also think it's interesting that even before the fake news era conservatives already distrusted the majority of news sources It's not as if it suddenly happened overnight, it was something that had been happening for decades now.

Missed that somehow, sorry. Theres probably an updated one running around somewhere given that theres a whole bunch of renewed interest after 2016.

Got a link to the source or article you're getting them from?

Nice one. Puerto Rico getting serious about statehood. I guess the hurricane was the proverbial straw that broke the proverbial camels proverbial back. In a victory against gerrymandering, a NC court ruled the previous map drawn by Republicans as unconstitutional and are ordering NC to draw a new one up quickly.

I'm also noticing it shows a whole lot more liberal/progressive outlets than conservative ones, even missing some of the notable ones. It's also almost four years old.
-
It's missing some stuff like TheHill, Vox, Axios, and Politico, AP, the various British papers/magazines.... Also, Huffington Post is way worse than Washington Post. Although Huff Post has a great election poll aggregator.

Does anybody else think this looks ethically shady? http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/368406-trump-holds-sweepstakes-to-win-dinner-at-mar-a-lago Trump is holding a sweepstakes to win a private dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. This is something I'd expect a businessman or celebrity to do, not a President. Seriously, if it's not legally corruption, it should be, because it feels wrong for a President to do. I can't imagine Merkel, Macron (well, okay, maybe Macron), or Obama, or George Bush doing that. edit: Not the first time he's done a similar thing, but still....

That's even wierder then. -
Why would you wish death on him? Anyway, in news that could either make conservatives groan or cheer, Trump is planning on going to Davos later this month. Some staffers are saying that it's going to be the equivalent of unleashing a stink bomb at the elietes. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/09/trump-davos-switzerland-economic-forum-331063 I'm sure conservatives and some liberals would cheer Trump doing a stink bomb there, but it could be a double edged sword depending on the news that comes out of that.
