    Looks like someone managed to get something on the plane.

    I wonder how much "Allah Akbar"ing was going on ?

    Given recent events, terrorism does in fact seem like the most likely hypothesis.

    However, regarding your slur of the "Religion of Peace"... who do you blame for the IRA's terrorism? Christians? Catholics? Irish Catholics? Or just the IRA and their supporters?

    Put them in jail instead.

    On my planet we just fly them out to the nearest black hole and kick them in. It's essentially free, since we already make regular trips to dump our trash. Plus there's no escaping - even their ghosts can't get out for the trillions of years it takes the black hole to evaporate.

    And what would the world be like if we started killing the richest people in the world? I'm not for killing anyone ever, but what happens if you kill the .01% and keep culling until it doesn't exist anymore?

    It has been proven that the IRS was targeting conservative groups.

    Actually, the "whistleblower" eventually admitted that a Republican legislator had asked her to suppress the fact that they were auditing groups across the spectrum.

    But I'm guessing your favorite news sources didn't think that was worth mentioning.

    "Another former curator agreed that the operation had an aversion to right-wing news sources. “It was absolutely bias. We were doing it subjectively. It just depends on who the curator is and what time of day it is,” said the former curator. “Every once in awhile a Red State or conservative news source would have a story. But we would have to go and find the same story from a more neutral outlet that wasn’t as biased.”"

    Sounds like the informer thinks every Red State story should automatically be flagged as trending on Facebook. Until we get some actual evidence, I'm going to treat this as another IRS non-scandal invented to "prove" that everyone is persecuting conservatives.

    Like the "liberal" media who gave Trump free airtime in the middle of their next day's coverage of the first Democratic debate.

    Anyone got screenshots of what has actually been trending on FB during the last few days?
