All-purpose news and politics thread: Two Steps Beyond!

In all of this craziness today, there were a few things going under the radar...

Apparently Sarah Sanders was asked a question today about Sandy Hook and what the president could do to prevent another one. The answer was preventing another one through immigration, border security, vetting, and the wall. ........You know... the kids and adults weren't killed by an immigrant, illegal, or such...


Also, reporting from CNN...

Black Twitter does not suffer fools

Exactly, lol.

I do have to say that as one of those black people that voted for Jones, I don't want any sort of "thank you" from her. After her antics last year, we all know she isn't playing for the same team we are, so she can go take all the goddamn seats.

Ajit Pai circulated a video via the Daily Caller where he mocked Net Neutrality supporters prior to moving to have it killed.

Turns out, one of the ladies who appeared in the dips***'s little trolling effort is known for circulating the Pizzagate conspiracy theory.

It was a bad look. It just got worse. Showing how unqualified Pai is to look after the internet, they tried removing the video, but it's too late. It's out there for good.

I guess in here case if the fake headline fits she might as well wear it...

white women thank themselves for thanking black women today

Interesting thing today, was reading this article and it mentioned this site where you could see if your name was used for fake FCC net neutrality comments. My sis's came up (and it was her address). Probably from some data breach concerning her credit card or something I guess. Checked a bunch of names and just hers.

Doesnt this bring some question about Disney monopoly?

Since they're not picking up a broadcast channel in the deal, it will be okay.

Can you link the site?

And you click on the comment and check the address to see if it's you or just someone else with your name.

Mind you, my sis is probably pretty irresponsible with her credit card and such. She's in her late 20s and buys a lot all over the place, uses it for like everything.

Thanks! I just would like to check.

It is a problem. If people from Wyoming or Texas can open carry a fire arm in New York, no matter what our State and Local laws say is a big problem.

Ok, i will like to continue the conversation, why do you think it is a problem ?

I have read the bill and other papers about conceil carry in the states, in places like Texas the residents would have to apply for a concealed carry permit in order to carry a concealed weapon in another state. That application requires documentation of completion of a recognized course of instruction on basic handgun competency.

Do you have to buy more thn 1 broadcast channel to be consider a monopoly?

or something like that.

Well that is an automatic violation. They also acquired well under the minimum local stations to be considered an anti-trust violation.

Disney will own ~40% of the movie industry after this. It remains to be seen if they'll get little studios picked from them or not.

State rep Dan Johnson - under investigation for molesting a teenage girl, and refusing to resign amid the allegations, has committed suicide

Holy ****.

WBE just profiled him yesterday. Holy crap.

He apparently posted one final thing on Facebook before dying, but given how morbid things are, I'm not going to post it.

Despite everything, I wish his family the best during these trouble times. I've lost family members to suicide and its never easy (never for reasons like this though).

It's not professional to diagnose somebody just from their public appearances, but it does look a lot like he was not well. Smells like 2017/18 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F60.3. People with borderline personality disorder are deeply unstable emotionally, prone to tell tall tales and manipulate people into being impressed by them, though they feel very small inside. It's not too surprising that some of those afflicted end up holding office.

Damn! Tavis Smiley too? To quote Bill Goldberg, who’s next?



Let this be a lesson to everyone about the importance of using punctuation and what happens when it isn’t used.

Commas are important people!

Disney instead of launching a separate whole streaming service should just use HULU. They own a big piece of it and have an established streaming service. Why launch a brand new one that will struggle . They have Fox and Disney shows and movies to pipe right into Hulu and they are a majority owner (and eventually could push for the 40% stake left).

Because of companies like Warner Brothers who also use HULU. If they Buy those shares and CONVERT HULU into their service and sell off the Warner Brothers, and other companies items.

Just got an alert saying Net Neutrality has been repealed.

Here's a great video on the Net Neutrality wars that are coming. Ajit is an ABSOLUTE tool.
