Slashdot Mirror

Without being able to flog the fake news of "collusion" or salivate over disappearing airliners, what is CNN going to run now?

Their ratings are already tanking:

Tucker Carlson Beats CNN's Entire Prime Time Line Up Combined. CNN Isn't Taking It Well.

CNN's entire prime time line up garnered 2,474,000 total viewers compared to Carlson's 3,475,000 total viewers.

Oooof.

Considering there actually is an online map now that tells you which SF streets are currently covered in human feces and they are having to spend half their street cleaning budget just to deal with all the shit and needles covering their sidewalks? Frankly I'd say whether someone puffing some blueberry ecig is gonna get cancer 20 years from now should be the LEAST of their worries.

It speaks only to political intolerance, i.e. intolerance of political views. But liberals are more tolerant of literally everything else than conservatives.

Pay attention!

The Electoral College's sole purpose is to disenfranchise urban areas in favor of rural areas. is rejected wholeheartedly by anyone below the age of 40 due to extremely obvious reasons.

no idiot. the point is to promote the interests of the minority and less densely populated areas over the majority and high dense population centers. There are plenty of reasons why the rural areas of the country need their voice protected over city mono-thought. You are just looking at your bubble and extrapolating a false reality.

I don't understand why you use the phrase "stack the court"

If you can't win elections just have the courts intervene!

You simply haven't paid attention. It will all become more obvious once you enter high school, as you have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you still are in middle school at best.

of course diversity is only skin deep. of course those that disagree with me are ignorant bigots. of course my reality and my facts that are backed by my bias and my narrative is true. what kind of ass hole disagrees with me? I am awesome! look how i love the smell of my own farts.

When it comes to anything even remotely political, Slashdot always leans hard to one side. They wouldn't want you to hear about this story here, for example. An excerpt below:

NPR reports that private corporations are doing the jobs the government won't do, clearing trails, policing trash, and providing general upkeep for major national parks west of the Mississippi, including Yellowstone National Park.

[...]

As a result, Johnson and a handful of other local small business owners are chipping in to keep trails groomed and keep the park's main road open to tourists, who are now getting into the park for free — since rangers aren't stationed at the park's entrance to collect the typical $35-per-car fee tourists typically pay

The federal government isn't the only way to care for the parks. Also, if the parks are getting full of trash, I ask you this: Who put it there?

And yet you're the one that added a statistic to one side only. Why not provide statistics of other problems caused by pollution? Because you don't care about taking a look at all of our problems (environment, health, crime, immigration, etc) objectively and then prioritizing. Your identity theft statistic also covers 6 years according to this. I think people would prefer Identity theft to dying early.

That being said, I should have framed this slightly differently: cost to resolve the issues. If the US could spend $100 per death prevented by building the "wall", compared to say $150 per death prevented by reducing pollution, it would be better to build the wall first. However, making these determinations still requires objective analysis.

Three witnesses named by Dr. Ford deny her claim. NONE of them even remember the party happened in the first place - which makes any actions that happened at the alleged party doubtful. NO ONE has confirmed the party even took place. Hard to have an assault when there isn't even a party at which the assault allegedly took place.

The fundamental inconsistencies are too great for this dynamic not to collapse on itself sooner than later. It's one thing to badger conservative straight white men into saying "ma'am" through clenched teeth when some bald potato of a man in a dress walks up to the counter, but it's different when you start badgering the very people who are used to doing the badgering. Feminists are now faced with a world where all the women's sports records are held by dudes and a lesbian who won't suck cock is called a bigot. The only thing holding it all together seems to be solidarity in their mutual hatred of white men.

That being said, the irony of feminism as an institution being usurped by men is kinda fucking hilarious.

Antifa has a long history of using violence to achieve their goals.

Jeez why do rightwingers have such a persecution mentality. Bloody snowflakes.

Did you think that was clever?

There's a good starter list. Also, in the post you replied to, Jack Dorsey was the name, not Jeff Bezos. Cerebral flatulence.

Fake news you say? You mean like this?

On Saturday, dozens of media outlets reported that federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested an illegal alien who was taking his wife to the hospital to deliver their baby - but they conveniently left out one key detail: the man was a wanted murder suspect.

The timing of the media's latest deception to demonize the Trump administration for political gain comes just two days after more than 350 newspapers wrote op-eds bemoaning President Donald Trump's attacks on the media for inaccurately covering news stories and for sometimes reporting blatantly false information.

https://www.dailywire.com/news...

Or being a 'Bernie Bro' who just wanted to prove that the left wasn't against the American flag (hint: it did not work out well for him).

I'm ashamed of what my side has become when I regularly read posts like that from my liberal friends on Facebook and Twitter.

This was always a part of who they were.

If you think you're a good person, how'd you become a bad person?

"In movies about slavery they always try to tell you how bad slavery is by showing people get whipped and brutalized. But slavery wasn't bad because people got whipped and brutalized, people got whipped and brutalized because slavery was bad. That's why that happened, because when you want to control people, when you want to take people's freedoms away, when you want them to become instruments of your will, you have to abuse them and enslave them."

In Soviet Cuba, phone connects to you...wait. Nevermind.

10 years later after CAPITALIST countries did it.

Hoo-ray! Socialism!

Oh, wait. It failed. It couldn't have been TRUE Socialism.

Meanwhile, the latest Socialist craze from NYC thinks "low unemployment is a problem because everyone's working two jobs.":

WATCH: Ocasio-Cortez Says Low Unemployment Is 'Part Of The Problem,' Makes False Claims

During the interview, Ocasio-Cortez also made troubling remarks about the U.S. economy after Hoover noted that the economy under the Trump administration is strong with an unemployment rate hovering around 4%.

"Well, I think, the numbers that you just talked about is part of the problem," Ocasio-Cortez replied. "Because we look at these figures and we say 'unemployment is low, everything is fine, right?'"

"Well, unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs," Ocasio-Cortez falsely stated.

I give you the new face of the Democratic Party.

She's dumb enough to say what the morons that make up the Democratic Party base actually wants.

Here, read this - https://www.dailywire.com/news...

Not for TOS or any of those other excuses you have.

Were the Jews kicking out Nazis from restaurants, houses, banning their speech, etc or were the Nazi's doing that to the Jews? Are you sure you know which side you're on? You might be a fascist and don't even know it.

Are Conservatives going around harassing people trying to eat? Are Conservatives going around vandalizing property? Are Conservatives going around saying crazy stuff like let illegal aliens just come over here and do whatever they want? Are Conservative politicians telling people to go harass and beat up those they don't agree with?

Conservatives are conservatives by definition because they don't do things like that. Leftists are leftists because they do things like that. They can't stand any thoughts other than their own. They even fight among themselves.

Some users have been deleted for tweeting about God, The American Flag or guns. Apparently the American Flag is offensive to the left. They hate America and American success. That's what Obama's "fundamentally change America" was all about. From the most successful nation to just another nation as he put it.

If you're an American you need to know that you are in the top 1% of the world. Just think about that a minute and realize just how worse off you can be. Change it and you too can be in a third world country. We fought hard to have what we have. Stupidity and ignorance can do away with it quickly.

BUT, CHina, Russia, North Korea, Iran, etc have been working to destroy the west since the 90s.

More projection. The U.S. literally bragged about interfering in the 1996 Russian election, has been staging practice invasions off North Korea's coast every year since the 90's, committed an act of war on Iran with Stuxnet and spent years illegally threatening them with a military invasion over a nuclear weapons program the U.S. knew Iran didn't actually have.

So, no, the smart thing is for us to start dealing with Russia/China/etc on their own terms.

Good to hear! So you'll slash you war budget from ~$1.4 trillion or so a year down to $45 billion dollars to match Russia's, close down almost every single one of your overseas military bases, and go down to a single aircraft carrier to match China's.

As opposed to, er, "called for" (justified?) attacks?

Yeah, such as on the Trump's administration officials...

I don't recall making any mention of race, in fact I didn't even say anything about the past administration other than to simply present links of comments by your liberal gods that show the massive hypocrisy of your side. You all cheered and agreed with what they said then but now you're the ones that are horrifying and whining and you refuse to admit it. But why is it anytime someone says anything about the worst President to ever occupy the Oval office you immediately jump to race? How do you even know what my race is? Typical leftist playbook, don't address the facts, instead call names.

But seriously "ran America better"? Did the worst economic recovery in history show you that? Did the record number of people on food stamps show you that? Or maybe it was when the Obama administration altered the formula for determining the unemployment number to drop all of those who stopped looking, while today even according to the NYT since Trump's has reversed or halted many of Obama's policies we're at statistically 0 unemployment.

Oh and of course there's always the signature ACA legislation where if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor and how they admitted to having lied to stupid Americans to get it passed. And now of course we see that there really is no affordable in the ACA, but that rates are skyrocketing and it is taking the deficit with it.

Please list the accomplishments of which you speak. Considering he was in office for 8 years and Trump has only been in office 500 days I'm sure you can find many more instances of his successes than the current President.

And I won't even get started on foreign policy like Libya, Afghanistan, Iran, etc.

Story about one of those foreign entities that was indicted by Muller for interfering with the election.

Problem, company didn't exist during the election. Yep, evidence of interference from entities that DIDN'T EXIST during election.

Yea, there was Russian interference. They wrote fake info on Trump and sold it to Clinton. For some reason we don't want to admit THAT happened, but will go bat shit crazy over fake indictments from a special council that seems incompetent.

So sorry that you missed the point here.

There are actually 2 characteristics that make Trump a deep danger to us all:
1) He lies when it suits him.
2) He lies when he totally mis-understands issues. Which makes him a dangerous idiot as well.

The article you link to merely boast about what Trump accomplished - whether detrimental or not.
Here's some links to many of his lies:
https://www.buzzfeed.com/marya...
https://www.dailywire.com/news...
https://www.nytimes.com/intera...

Seems to me his lies and actions have wreaked havoc with USA's reputation world-wide.
The Eagle will fly no more as a result.

The Elections Project notes that there were 251,107,404 people who classify as members of the voting-age population, therefore 115,449,897 of the voting-age population (or 46.3 percent) did not vote.

So 251 million voters, but only 63 million voted for Trump.

Trump: 62,979,636 (46.1%)

Looks like I way overestimated, you only need 25% of people to vote for you to win.

Mod these facts down too if you like.
Everyone knows it's not true if you can hide it, and your snowflake feelings won't get hurt.

I don't think so. She's in worse legal trouble than ever.

Donald Trump and Mark Zuckerberg have no problem selling out. You're the product, MORONS.

You were saying?

BREAKING: China Makes Shocking Announcement About North Korean Denuclearization

On Wednesday, China said that it secured a commitment from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to denuclearize the Korean peninsula during a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

So, kow-towing to petty bully dictators a la Clinton and Obama did for decades doesn't work?

But standing up to them like Trump has done might?

Whoda thunk!

Gawd, I'm gonna be laughing my ass off at "progressives" if a few months of Trump tweets can get North Korea to do what years of bribes from such "enlightened" leaders as Barack Obama couldn't.

Gee, you'd think someone with some BRAINS could figure out that bribing North Korea to "behave" merely rewarded bad behavior?

Hey, maybe Obama should have set some sort of "red line" that North Korea had better not cross?!?!

BWAAA HAAA HAAA!!!!

Amazing to learn that "progressive" foreign policy is as fucked up as "progressive" economics. How's Venezuela going?

Oh, yeah, kids are fighting with machetes to get the "best" garbage:

In Venezuela, hungry child gangs use machetes to fight for ‘quality’ garbage

Yep, "progressive" Socialism sure helps make everyone equal - equally desperate to simply survive.

One final bit of information. Concealed carry permit holders are MORE HONEST than the average person -- by far.

The methodology was to look at the states that publish this data (admittedly not a lot), but if they say how many concealed carry permits are revoked for committing a crime, you just divide that by the total number of permits in that state. That is pretty unambiguous and not subject to skewing the numbers.

https://www.dailywire.com/news...

Yeah, it could also be that the concealed carry permit holders are NOT more honest, but just smarter than average and just don't get caught (but not terribly likely). Pick your interpretation.

It's probably up to the venue and not CPAC.

BTW guess how many percent of mass shootings took place in gun free zones?

Check out this cached story from Time:
Alleged Gunman Nikolas Cruz Was in White Supremacist Group

Now compare with the current version:
Alleged Gunman Nikolas Cruz Was in White Supremacist Group

Apparently, all of this started out as a prank from 4Chan, and it was covered by a wide number of news outlets.

The news outlets will often do retractions (as in the case of Time), but those are almost never publicized as widely as the original stories, and the damage is done. I understand that mistakes happen, but how many people are still under the impression that Cruz was a member of the ROF? If anything, retractions should be more publicized than the original stories.

...factor in segregation.

Segregation is such a dated word. The proper term is "POC Only", which sounds much more exclusive. Good thing they redefined the word racist to only apply to white people, otherwise this would qualify for certain.

It's not obstruction unless there is a pending judicial proceeding

https://www.dailywire.com/news...

With the Trump-Russia collusion story all but debunked, the left has immediately turned to its next-stage scandal: they want President Trump locked up for "obstruction of justice." They base their claims of obstruction on the following chain of events: Trump hired National Security Advisor Michael Flynn against the advice of nearly everyone in the foreign policy community, fired him under questionable circumstances, then allegedly told FBI director James Comey he "hoped" Comey would find a way to let Flynn go, later fired Comey, and then finally told the Russian ambassador and foreign minister that he had fired Comey to relieve pressure over the Russia investigation.

This, in the minds of the left, means that Trump fired Comey in order to shut down the Flynn investigation after essentially ordering him to do so.

So, would that be "obstruction of justice," even if it were true?

Professor Alan Dershowitz of Harvard Law School says no. Dershowitz says, "The president could have told Comey, you are commanded, directed, to drop the prosecution against Flynn. The president has the right to do that. Comey acknowledges that. He says in the statement that historically, historically presidents have done that to the Justice Department."

It is unquestionably true that Trump has the absolute right to fire his FBI director. And the old, Supreme Court-protected Independent Counsel Act was allowed to die a decade and a half ago; that Act could have granted an independent counsel freedom from presidential firing, but it no longer exists. As Dershowitz also points out, Trump has pardon power, so he could have just pardoned Flynn outright.

With that said, the counter case goes something like this: if Trump wanted to fire Comey for failing to comply with his desires, he could have. Instead, he threatened him. That amounts to obstruction.

But that case is weak on a legal level. There are three separate federal laws, as The New York Times points out, that could deal with this situation. None clearly does.

1. 18 USC 1503: This "omnibus" clause covers "corruptly or...by any threatening letter or communication influenc[ing], or imped[ing] or endeavor[ing[ to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice." But the clause also requires a pending judicial proceeding - and as far as we are all aware, there is none. Furthermore, the Supreme Court is quite exacting on the application of this law - a prosecutor would need to prove that Trump's conduct materially impeded the investigation, which even Comey has said didn't happen.

2. 18 USC 1512(c): This provision of law covers anyone who "obstructs, influences, or impedes an official proceeding, or attempts to do so." It is not clear that an FBI investigation is an "official proceeding," and proving intent is difficult in any case. And it's not enough to show intent to violate the subsection - you have to take a "substantial step toward the accomplishment of that goal."

3. 18 USC 1519: This provision covers destroying evidence related to a federal investigation. There are no accusations that Trump destroyed evidence. Unless Trump had tapes and destroyed them, the statue simply doesn't apply.

None of this is to argue that Congress can't impeach. Congress can impeach for anything and everything - impeachment is a political matter, not a legal one. And even if Trump's activity wasn't illegal, that doesn't mean it was moral. But all the amateur legal analysts claiming that an indictment is just around the corner simply don't know what they're talking about.

Ironically one person who could be prosecuted under 18 USC 1519 is Hillary Clinton. And 18 USC 1519 doesn't require a pending prosecution - destroying evidence to stop a future prosecution is criminal.

The root of this problem is that MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, The New York Times, and virtually all the mainstream media has lost all credibility in the eyes of conservatives and independents (only 32% of Americans trust the media, coincidentally aligning with the dyed in the wool alt left crowd who have no knowledge of history and "think" with their emotions). http://news.gallup.com/poll/19...

This has occurred for a simple reason. Traditional constitutional journalism necessary for democracy targeted one simple principle: find the truth no mater what it was and follow it no matter where it led. Throughout history journalists have achieved this with varying degrees of success. However, the modern alt left infested main stream media now has the motto: "Change the world." They have divested all semblance of independence, fair reporting or pursuit of the truth instead choosing to only report stories and/or slant stories (i.e. lie by omission) that further their world view and political candidates. This is not some grand conspiracy, but rather an organic result of the alt left fascist cesspool that is the college campuses in the US where the next generation of journalists are spoon fed the alt left propaganda.

The democracy has recognized and is rejecting this poisoned fruit and is in the process of finding new avenues to get accurate news that covers the entire set of facts including historical background and objective facts. In the 1990s we saw the explosion of talk radio, then Fox news, then citizen journalists online, and now Facebook and more broadly online sources.

There have always been propaganda stories during elections, it is up to the individual voter, more than ever, to find the truth and sources that are trustworthy. The Democrats last election cycle ran Hillary Clinton, and most people knew exactly who and what she was (a grasping, lying, cheating, back stabbing politician lawyer who only wants power and money, in that order; don't believe me, ask the Bernie Sanders supporters). You could have run a false story that she ate babies for dinner every night to stay young and most conservatives would believe it because she has been in the public eye for 20 years and has extremely high negatives with conservatives and those who actually pay attention to politics.

The fact is that Russia and China try to meddle in US elections every time to varying degrees of success (the Chinese successfully funneled millions into Bill Clinton's campaign and no one said boo until he gave them ICBM guidance technology, Ted Kennedy tried to work with the Russians to get Reagan out of office, etc. etc.) https://www.dailywire.com/news...

Well stated. If I had a buck for every time the media at large conflates legal immigrants with illegal immigrants I'd be retired.

Clearly, the government knows better, how you should be running your business. Not only do they already know, the gap exists, they also know it must be eliminated — as well as exactly how to do it.

But... they non-Google employees wanted to use the bikes! Surely it wouldn't be fair to make them buy their own. After all, Google has bikes, so Google should be forced to share them.

Google has the bikes, the others want them, so it is perfectly fine to steal. How else are they going to get their money?

First ambassador killed since 1979. And the President and Secretary of State immediately blamed a Youtube video and arrested the maker. Only to have to turn back later and admit it wasn't the video and that they had plenty of warning about the impending attack. Essentially the President lied about the cause of the death of a US Ambassador in an effort to cover up their willful ignoring of information about the impending attack which caused the death of the Ambassador.

The movie was fine, but full of problems that detract from the story. The best review I've read discussing those problems is 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi': The Full Shapiro Review (spoilers). The review also discusses good parts and things that work toward the bottom, but that list is way shorter than the list of problems.

Which is why they all colluded with the DNC right? CNN politico washington post donna brazille handing debate questions to the clinton camp before a debate and on, and on and on and on.

Call me back when any of those networks gets caught colluding with the DNC

CNN politico Washington Post. That's all from the 2016 election cycle, they all colluded. So did all those other networks I listed, you can find them all right in the DNC email leaks. There's dozens on top of dozens of stories on major networks getting caught sending stories to the DNC to make sure the narrative was correct, directly publishing articles from the DNC. Hell Donna Brazille was caught giving the Clinton camp debate questions before the debate from CNN. You get that? They all colluded.

Or better yet, don't call me at all you nazi.

And the current state of the political left rears it's head. Anyone who dares to question the narrative = nazi. You truly are pathetic people.

I have to ask this. What planet are you living on?

Perhaps you agree that the problem is so awful that innocent men must be destroyed to get rid of this probelm - after all you wrote in another pose that all men are assholse. Here is a link to re-affirm your cognitive dissonance.https://www.dailywire.com/news/23892/teen-vogue-columnist-claims-shes-not-concerned-if-emily-zanotti

So anyhow - no, it is not likely that men will be falsely accused of sexual harassment. That much is true. Most women just want to get along in life and find love and friends, and happiness, and to avoid being abused. I suspect you disagree based on some of your remarks, but the same is true of most men.

But there is a fair non zero chance of being falsely accused of something that will end your career without any chance of response, and that might get you sent to jail, and have to register as a sex offender.

How many of these sex scandals have been reported in your news? If you haven't heard of them, you're probably watching fake news. http://www.dailywire.com/news/...

Yup. And actually the recent kerfuffle with Keurig shows the same thing.

Media Matters called up Keurig and convinced them to pull advertising from Hannity because he was, according to Media Matters 'pro child molestor'. None of which was true of course.

http://www.dailywire.com/news/...

So Keurig pulled their ads. Of course at that point the right started a 'boycott Keurig' campaign, with videos of people smashing their Keurig machines. Though as Ben Shapiro pointed out - smashing a machine you already own doesn't make any sense. All you need to do is stop buying K cups from Keurig.

Now in the long run this means that companies will either be Democrat companies or Republican ones. Up to now that hasn't happened. E.g.

http://www.foodandwine.com/fwx...

Experian assigned number values to restaurants, with 100 representing neutral territory. That means that a restaurant that scores 120 on the liberal index boasts 20 percent more liberals at its tables than average. The numbers aren't all that surprising. California Pizza Kitchen brings in the most liberals, with a score of 146 on the lefty index. O'Charley's-a chain located throughout the South and Midwest-and Cracker Barrel have the most conservative clientele, scoring 121 and 118, respectively, on the righty index.

I live outside the US and CPK used to have a branch near me and I used to quite like their salads, despite being politically conservative. If I was in the US I'd have gone there too. However suppose CPK took a political stand I didn't approve of. Then I'd eat somewhere else.

Companies don't realise that as soon as they take a political position they will please about half the people and alienate about half. However the people they please are not going to shop their more and the people they alienate can easily shop somewhere else. I.e. companies taking an open political stance is a net loss.

People who don't realise this are spending too much time inside an echo chamber were everyone things their politics are virtuous and the other side's politics are evil.

The public disagrees with you, which is reflected in their ratings. CNN's ratings have been in a downward spiral for quite some time now.

Steele was basically asking people, including FSB types, for all the rumours they'd heard about Trump.

I.e. he was pretty much a cut out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

He didn't care if any of it was true or not. And neither did the DNC, CNN or Buzzfeed. All they wanted was a big compendium of rumours that they could use to discredit Trump. Well for a while, until it became clear that not only was it all a pack of lies, they'd all known it was a pack of lies.

Meanwhile Trump Jr went to a meeting with a Russian lawyer some oppo research, worked out that the person he was dealing with was a Russian agent trying to lobby about the Magnitsky act and more importantly didn't have any information and then he walked. No money changed hands and neither did any information.

Unlike with the Clinton campaign which did pay and didn't declare it

Following the bombshell revelation on Tuesday that Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) funded the "Trump-Russia" dossier, a non-partisan group filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), saying that the Clinton campaign and the DNC broke campaign finance laws.

The Campaign Legal Center filed a complaint with the FEC on Wednesday stating that the Clinton campaign and the DNC violated campaign finance laws because they failed to "accurately disclose payments related to the so-called Trump Dossier," Law Newz reported.

The Campaign Legal Center filed the complaint after The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that Mark Elias - a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC - hired Fusion GPS to conduct "research" on then-candidate Donald Trump.

Adav Noti, who previously served as the FEC's Associate General Counsel for Policy, filed the complaint which Law Newz obtained:

This complaint is filed pursuant to 52 U.S.C. SS 30109(a)(1) and is based on information providing reason to believe that the Democratic National Committee ("DNC")(C00010603) and Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign committee Hillary for America (C00575795) have failed to file accurate reports, in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act ("FECA"), 52 U.S.C. SS 30101, et seq., and Commission regulations.
Specifically, the DNC and Hillary for American reported dozens of payments totaling millions of dollars to the law firm Perkins Coie with the purpose described as "Legal Services" or "Legal and Compliance Consulting," when in reality, at least some of those payments were earmarked for the firm Fusion GPS, with the purpose of conducting opposition research on Donald Trump. By failing to file accurate reports, the DNC and Hillary for America undermined the vital public information role that reporting is intended to serve.
"If the Commission, upon receiving a complaint . . . has reason to believe that a person has committed, or is about to commit, a violation of [FECA] . . . [t]he Commission shall make an SS 30109(a)(2) (emphasis added); see also 11 C.F.R. SS 111.4(a) (emphasis added).
Law Newz cited campaign legal experts as saying that it is illegal for a "campaign to pay a law firm who then hires other [firm] to perform campaign-related activities without reporting the purpose of the expenditures."

That's the funny thing about Trump and the Republicans. As scummy as they are, the Democrats are clearly worse.

>We heard it from the MAN YOU ELECTED PRESIDENT you stupid fuckhead.
Who, at the time, was just some random twitter loudmouth. Do you want to talk about all the things Obama (or Hillary) was up to before running for president?

>Obama never praised neo-nazis
Neither did Trump. Though Obama praised BLM plenty.

>put white supremacists in his cabinet
Neither did Trump

>encouraged violence against protesters during his election campaign
The Hillary campaign directly paid people to go to Trump rallies and start riots. Trump asked people to "knock the crap out of" hypothetical protesters about to commit physical assault against him, which would be perfectly legal under self-defense laws.

>smeared Muslims and immigrants (or, well, any group of people)
Yeah, talk to me when the left gets off their "Every white person is a nazi and every Trump voter (including women) is a sexist." crusade.

>never tried to ban people fleeing war from the country
The countries in Trump's travel ban were the same ones that had been identified as dangerous under the Obama administration and were already under increased travel scrutiny. Anyway, it's not America's problem if their countries are wartorn shitholes. There's plenty of left-wing governments in Europe who seem more than happy to let them flood in and don't mind dealing with the odd 'traffic incident' now and then as a result.

>never picked fights with mayors of underwater cities...
If you think Trump's going to sit by and let some corrupt loser preen in front of cameras and blame him for their own failures, then you really don't know Trump.

>people literally made up bullshit about Obama to mainstream criticism of Trump.
But the tape with Trump and the hookers totally exists, right? And Trump and Putin were totally in cahoots? Voting machines were hacked? Russia stole the DNC emails? Trump's campaign totally wasn't wiretapped even though the lead headline on page one of the NYT on inauguration day was about wiretaps of Trump's campaign?

I couldn't trivially find BLM burning stuff, so there's that.

But Antifa lights fires ALL THE TIME. All around the fucking world, they are burning shit whenever they get together.

> No, punching a White Supremacist in the face doesn't count.

Sorry, do the political opinions people have now justify violence against them? If that's a moral line we are crossing, do you have any idea the amount of damage that will cause? Do you think it will lend legitimacy to any idea, if you believe that violence against people who hold ideas you find unattractive, is allowed?

Changed when social justice advocates and progressives decided that "you also deserve to have the consequences of it" as a standard manifesto, and started to attack people, go after their employment, and so on. They don't believe in that statement, they only believe that "proper speech" that they deem acceptable is the limit. Otherwise you wouldn't see them cheering in support of things like this. Or things like this.

I'm sure someone will go but...the right. And yes, they sure have started doing that. They took it right from your playbook, you know the one. Rules for Radicals, hope you're enjoying them invoking rule #4: "Make them live up to their own standards."

Yeah, you didn't really search all that long did you?

"NBC Washington reports that “Richard Rodriguez, 30, filmed a woman in a bathroom stall at the Potomac Mills Mall, Prince William County Police said."

The media and regressive companies like Google love to pander to people of another color or gender.
This guys document was well-written and scientifically based.
But the regressiveleft hates any facts that contradict their delusions, very similar to religion.

"We're this any other color or sex of person calling out actual harmful company policies they would be condemned, have little attention paid to their plight and would be fighting for years for some kind of recognition."
Please provide some examples of this.

BTW: you'll have to actually provide evidence for this, can't just mention a bad outcome and assert bigotry.
You might be thinking about the case of Colin Kaepernick, but he was just a bad player.
He problably saw a bad future coming and decided to ahead of it by becoming a political activist, so he could play the victim card.

I thought Democrats were good citizens of the world who would cooperate with all nations regardless of race.

I mean, look at their open embrace of North Korean political philosophy at the Democratic Convention while simultaneously showing they aren't Xenophobic by making sure to suppress that overt symbol of fascist racism, the American flag: http://www.dailywire.com/news/...

What is wrong with the Democrats now? Don't they know that Russia borders North Korea so they must be fine?!?!!?

First, you'd think someone whose been here a while would be more grown up than to toss around that bullshit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

"...The average "poor" American lives in a larger house or apartment than does the average West European (This is the average West European, not poor West Europeans). Poor Americans eat far more meat, are more likely to own cars and dishwashers, and are more likely to have basic modern amenities such as indoor toilets than is the general West European population.

"Poor" Americans consume three times as much meat each year and are 40 percent more likely to own a car than the average Japanese. And the average Japanese is 22 times more likely to live without an indoor flush toilet than is a poor American...."
