A reminder to generalfrevious and Alderaan:
The next time I see either of you violate those rules, I will report you.
What in the world are you babbling about?
ACA failing is exactly what Ryan wanted, but I don’t think it’s going to work out for him.
The deal was the Republicans spent 8 years firing up their base and campaigning on repealing Obamacare, but the RINOs didn’t actually want to repeal Obamacare. They just want to let Obamacare fail on its own, which is what is going to happen.
But I think when it happens, Ryan and the House Republicans are going to take most of the political blame.
I’ll repeat this one last time. And it’s not directed at Fo because that’s clearly a dead end.

The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee is claiming that he has been presented with new information on collusion between associates of President Donald Trump and Russia that would merit a grand jury investigation.
Rep. Adam Schiff told CNN Thursday that he had seen additional evidence, but would not specify what it was.
“We continue to get new information that, I think, paints a more complete picture of at least what we know at the outset of our investigation,” Schiff said.
Asked to explain his comments earlier in the week when he said there was more than just “circumstantial evidence of collusion,” Schiff said, "I do think that it’s appropriate to say that it’s the kind of evidence that you would submit to a grand jury at the beginning of an investigation.
“It’s not the kind of evidence that you take to a trial jury when you’re trying to prove something beyond a reasonable doubt. But we’re at the beginning of an investigation, and given the gravity of the subject matter, I think that the evidence certainly warrants us doing a thorough investigation.”
If anyone can point out the bias and inaccuracy in this, feel free.
No-one will or can - as there is no bias or inaccuracy in there.
We are seemingly in an age where people and organisations are trying to present their opinion as fact possibly more than ever before - and when those same people are questioned on it they often cannot come up with facts/evidence to make their point - they generally then claim it as opinion (often under ‘free speech’), or deflect or obfuscate.
What’s even stranger is, like in this case, when factual reporting (literally nothing more than what someone said) is somehow painted as either opinion or a falsehood. It kind of boggles the mind.
Reminds me of how Spicey operates.
Fully agree.
It leads to questioning the mentality/intelligence of the people who say that about factual reporting - or questioning whether they are trying to erode trust in the media - and to what end and purpose (usually to attack a media outlet that may not share values or editorial stance, or perhaps feel that they doing too much of an effective job against them on other matters? etc)
It also gives a ‘free ride’ and diverts attention/focus away from other media that peddle lies, misinformation, hate and intolerance - that do share their ‘values’ etc or want/need their support…
Perhaps this is a subject you and I should not engage in discussion about. I have no qualms with you but since you are not a licensed physician (as far as I know) I take offense to your accusation of my mental status. It is a personal attack and they are against the rules.
Mentality in as in mindset, outlook or way of thinking, not ‘mental status’.
And the post is clearly not about you - it was about Sean ‘Spicey’ Spicer as previously indicated by Frink to which I was replying to.
So you need not take offense, and there is no personal attack, and no rules were gone aginst here.
Thank you for clearing that up. I appreciate it greatly my friend.
- No Frink vs Jetrell
Just a reminder.
Since you were kind enough to remind us of the rules I’m going to leave you with this little ditty …
http://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1046627
I reported you for it but because I had been given a temp-ban nothing was done. A breach of your favorite rule I believe (the vaunted #6 Rule) so let’s not mince words here. There is no gas-lighting either so I suggest you just leave it there.
Historian Dan Snow has the best response to Fox News’ claim that London is ‘defeated and demoralised’:-

Fox said that?! Whose side are they on? Good thing they weren’t around during the Blitz!
It was Katie Hopkins, who is (if you don’t know) a kind of British Ann Coulter-wannabe. Except unlike with Coulter who has at least some limited support in her Country (as far as I’m aware), every last person in Britain hates Hopkins’ guts with a deep and abiding passion.
Dan Snow’s video and his other twitter responses to her ignorance are very funny but it’s best to just ignore people like her because offending nice people is how she makes a living.
VIZ TOP TIPS! - PARENTS. Impress your children by showing them a floppy disk and telling them it’s a 3D model of a save icon.

So, Pravda on the Checkout Line is pushing the story that Flynn was a Russian spy. While traditionally, nothing resembling the truth can ever come out of that place, for the past several months, people have had some success applying the principles of Kremlinology to the tabloid. i.e. you don’t ever learn the truth per se, but you learn who’s in, who’s out (as in out of favor, not necessarily out of a job), and who’s going to fall off a roof next week.

Katie Hopkins is what would happen if John Cleese turned Ann Coulter into a newt.
As Hillary said, she would have been a good president
No. No she wouldn’t have been. She would have been god-awful terrible. Just like Trump is god-awful terrible, but in a different way.
Just because Trump is a joke, and he is, does not mean she would have been good or better.
It was truly a lose-lose situation in this country.
Woah, I think that’s the first thing I agree with you on 😛
A reminder to generalfrevious and Alderaan:
- No crazy conspiracy theories (aliens killed JFK, Elvis did 911, Moon Landing was faked, 911 was an inside job)
- No ridiculous doom saying (like all non-Trump supporters will be rounded up and executed)
The next time I see either of you violate those rules, I will report you.
If you see something that you think violates the rules, please skip this step and just report it.
I feel warning people is a good first step before reporting them.

No worries mate.

If she was all that was left to repopulate, then the human race has already died out.
It says a lot about the type of media willing to have her on to air her poison and views which often lack facts or credibility.
A fair few people in the UK were quite happy that Hopkins recently lost a libel case to Jack Monroe - unfortunately this likely means Hopkins’ll now be saying anything to help cover the payout and costs.

I feel warning people is a good first step before reporting them.
General Guidelines
This is not a warning, it’s friendly advice.
😉
I feel warning people is a good first step before reporting them.
If the mods feel this is tantamount to moderating and therefore a violation of the the rules, they are free to do so.
^IMO, you warning people when nothing has yet to happen, makes it look like your baiting those you mentioned to do something so you can report it. That seems to be a bit backwards.
I’m not accusing you of anything. Your words kinda speak for themselves.
Okay, this is funny as hell, LOL.
😃
I am seeing reports that Manafort, Stone, Page have all written letters to the Congressional Committee offering their testimony in the Russian/Campaign Surveillance investigation. This could turn out to be quite a wild time to be alive.

My money’s on it being a triple display of being shocked, shocked that there was ever any espionage going on in there. And there wasn’t any espionage anyway. And Flynn was behind all of it. And we don’t recall.
As Hillary said, she would have been a good president
No. No she wouldn’t have been. She would have been god-awful terrible. Just like Trump is god-awful terrible, but in a different way.
Just because Trump is a joke, and he is, does not mean she would have been good or better.

Woah, I think that’s the first thing I agree with you on 😛
And another thing I disagree with both of you on.
If Trump has proven anything, it’s that those who said he would be god-awful terrible were more right than they feared, and those who said he’d be a funny meme who wouldn’t get anything done were very wrong (although thankfully as of today at least one thing has been narrowly prevented).
I cannot fathom how Clinton would have been in anyway worse or even a fraction as bad. Cannot at all.
Everything that people feared from her is showing up in spades. Lying through teeth? Check. Personal interests over country? Check. Lining pockets with foreign dollars? Check. High chance of starting a war or two? Check. Flagrant disregard for the needs of the working class? Check. Gross incompetence that threatens national security? Check. Goldman Sachs? Check. Keeping the swamp full of bureaucratic insiders? Check. Being too tired to put the in the hours necessary? Check.
I guess he isn’t murdering his critics* or running a kiddie porn ring out of a pizza place though.
