The FBI deputy chief (the same guy that decided not to prosecute Hillary), tells the white house staff the report is BS.

I’d like to know where you’re seeing this.

The story in the NYT (also reported by other outlets) is NOT indicative of fake news. Your calling this example fake news is indicative of the problem. We can argue with their interpretation of the facts, sure, but they are not made up facts.

I think this article does a good job of describing what’s happened with the shift in meaning:

How are these examples of fake news though? The Yemen raid happened, did it not? I can agree that the Huffpo article is uncharitable to Trump at best, and biased at worst, but it is not fake news unless the event did not happen.

This is an example of actual fake news: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/16/world/europe/bild-fake-story.html?_r=0

That’s just untrue. I’ll even use a Fox news article: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/04/15/thousands-anti-tax-tea-party-protesters-turn-cities.html

There were protests well before the passing of ACA, and about more of Obama’s agenda than just ACA. I remember it well.

And I’m sure these anti-Trump protesters will protest his legislation as…[Read more]

How about we wait about six months and see how the inital efforts shake out

What ”initial efforts” are you referring to?

People who are tempted to shrug off these protests as paid or otherwise in bad faith should be mindful of very, very recent history. The Tea Party protesters, also disregarded as paid or planted agitators, made their wrath known at the ballot box in 2010.

Even in Utah there are enough pissed off democrats to fill Rice Eccles stadium.

There, I fixed it for you.

Now this is a good point. This year they have LSU and Wisconsin, so I guess credit them for scheduling some big kids and we’ll get to see how Utah’s performance compares to some marquee programs.

Now this is a good point. This year they have LSU and Wisconsin too, so I guess credit them for scheduling some big kids.

I will take them! =)
I am currently on some wait list, and I’m worried about my chances.

To #1, yes, why I put we in “”.
To #2, yes, ideally, but that’s not happening anytime soon. If I’m in Syria or Somalia, I’m getting the f*ck out with my kids yesterday, even if it means suffering racism/xenophobia wherever I go. These people can’t just wait around for war to end.

I have both read about Islam and read these accounts yes, and I feel like I can relate a lot as an ex-Mormon actually.

This narrative of “those people” are incompatible with our society can result in some of the behavior here( some of which kinds of behavior is already happening here since Trump was elected)…[Read more]

Edit to remove, replied in the wrong place

I just happened to notice this article. Very concerning and it’s happening here too ( both the assaults and fake news).

Sharing indisputable evidence here is, I suppose, my way of cautioning my fellow countrymen while simultaneosly criticizing the ideology that threatens the world today, like Nazism did 70 years ago.

I realize that Nazism is everyone’s favorite false equivalency, and we can all hardly go a day without someone comparing X thing or person that they…[Read more]

Yet here you are defending it. Is that really what you wish to do? Do you agree with the ideology or do you see the victims of the ideology (the abused, compliant, peaceful majority of the followers) as being one and the same as the set of ideas that constitutes the oppressive side of the religion itself?

Look, I even defend Mormons when I…[Read more]
