Trump can go die in a hole for all I care, the MSM on the other hand glossed over the continuous revelations about the Clinton campaign. Time after time they refused to even cover the rampant corruption in the DNC, from how the Democratic n

Is there anyone else that could have secured a majority in the House and potentially (as of 1247am EST) the Senate? I doubt that, DC politics is more about trading wins like potheads passing the joint around. I don't mean that pejorati

Well, let me just say that my statement is most definitely still incompatible with yours: the YPG/J are one of the most well-trained, disciplined, and professional army in the entirety of the Middle East. Yes, they rival that of the IR

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make from that incoherent babbling, but let's make one thing clear -- the YPG/J are regarded as some of the most well-trained and disciplined organizations in Syria. They're

The ceasefire in Aleppo city worked pretty well -- once the RuAF siege on the east was lifted, the Salafist-Jihadist forces wasted no time indiscriminately shelling western Aleppo city and killing scores of civilians in a matter of days. At

I was under the impression that the intention was that Twitter would be the largest message bus in the world, but management decided it would become a media platform instead. Clearly as a media platform it has failed and now it's neith

Are you living in a fantasy world where: * polls are over-sampled with pro-Clinton Democrats so badly that they aren't relevant * Clinton's popularity is so low that she can't fill the venues she campaigns at yet Trump regula

Then call it what it is -- condescension. Do we label Asians that cheat on tests in college as "chinks"? No! That's awful and bald-faced racism, we just call them cheaters with low moral standards.

Just call it condescension, making it into a gendered term is bigotry. Tolerating the usage of that term is acknowledgement that bigotry towards men is acceptable. The fact that you are a man is irrelevant, I'm also a man and I find th
