Trump's Website Is Coded With a Broken Server Error Message That Blames Obama (techcrunch.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: If you're a fan of Easter eggs hidden in source code, this is a pretty good one. Apparently, as Washington Post data reporter Christopher Ingraham observed on Twitter, some Trump administration and GOP websites have a portion of code with a joke that throws shade at Obama's golf habits, the irony nowhere to be found. We checked the source code and sure enough the line "Oops! Something went wrong. Unlike Obama, we are working to fix the problem and not on the golf course" appears on action.donaldjtrump.com sites, like the one hosting this surely statistically sound, Obama-obsessed "Inaugural Year Approval Poll," but not on donaldjtrump.com pages. As Ingraham pointed out, it's also present on some official GOP sites, including the GOP.com homepage. In both instances, the Obama dig is paired with a 404 error message that states "What do Hillary Clinton and this link have in common? They're both dead broke." To top it off, the code itself is apparently itself broken, swapping a single equal sign where there should be two. An honest mistake? Or perhaps the world was never meant to be gifted with these very good jokes at all?
... taking the bait each time. Go on, write a dozen articles about this little innocuous detail. Blame Trump personally. Make it sound like the end of the world. Meanwhile, your media empires are crumbling as you spend all your remaining credibility feeding your Trump Derangement Syndrome and exposing your true biased selves to the people.

Next someone'll tell me that Mexico is paying for a wall.
You guys really haven't figured it out yet ?
US trade deficit with Mexico : 63.2b $ in 2016 (1 year : https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/americas/mexico)
Cost of wall : Est 70b $ (in left-wing media dollars : http://time.com/4745350/donald-trump-border-wall-cost-billions/).
Mexico are paying for the wall, just not with cold hard cash. I hope you finally understand the actual plan here.

The Liberals have against the Tories? (Did I spell those correctly, my British brethren?)
In the UK you have these parties, in decreasing order of popularity at the last election
http://www.electoralcalculus.c...
43.5% - Conservatives - in government. Traditionally pro EU but switched when May replaced Cameron. Untrustworthy - they keep saying the right things, but often do the exact opposite in order to placate all the other parties/media who actually believe the wrong things. Think about the RINOest RINO and you've got the average Conservative. Due to May's incompetence they went from having a slim majority to no majority and are in a confidence and supply arrangement with the DUP, a Northern Irish unionist (i.e. they believe NI should stay in the UK) party. Sadly the least bad option.
41.0% - Labour - out of government. Were Blairite centre left, pro EU when in government. Wrecked the country's finances. Now taken over by far left, Israel hating loons who want to wreck the countries finances even faster. Oddly enough they are no longer pro EU, but might switch to supporting it again, or at least Single Market membership, because that means lots more immigrants and rule by foreigners.
7.6% - Liberal Democrats - run on a far left platform, entered coalition with the Conservatives. Got wrecked when they tripled tuition fees rather than abolishing them as they promised. Very pro EU. Drove out their last, hapless leader because he was Christian and the one before that because of tuition fees.
1.9% - UKIP - Single issue anti EU party. Highly disorganised and terrible at candidate vetting but gained popularity under Farage. Farage has now stepped down. UKIP support fell from 12% to 2%, partly because they didn't stand in lots of constituencies because there was a 'pro BREXIT MP' even when there wasn't. Probably doomed if May actually does what she says she will do. However the Conservatives are infamous for doing the exact opposite of what they say they will do.
1.7% - Green - Filthy eco commies and economic illiterates. Have one seat caused by Brighton hipsters. Pro EU. Would wreck the economy faster even that the current far left Labour leadership. Have given spectacularly awful interviews on economics.
3.1% - SNP - Scottish National Party - Want Scottish independence. Pro EU. Filthy socialists. Only in Scotland.
0.5% - Plaid Cymru - Welsh nationalists. Only in Wales. Wales voted for BREXIT so they technically support it but want to stay in the single market
