I'm part Jewish but I also live in Asia and I see the "swastikas" here all the time. Completely different meaning, no negative connotation. It's not the symbol that matters, but what people are trying to represent with i

If anything, the content of the e-mail leaks (that the intelligence report from the other day confirmed to be authentic, although this was also known from verifying DKIM signatures) had a bigger impact.

The sudden obsession with "fake news" started last November after the election. Why then? The big media also seems very discontent that Trump uses social media to communicate his news with people directly, bypassing the middlemen.

FWIW National Enquirer etc. existed for ages and no one seemed to mind. There's plenty of fake news to go around... What about "I am a NYT reader and I read it every day with the hopes to tell me who is a better candidate" an

There's a question of journalistic integrity. If you read NYT as I do you expect to be told "the whole story" and not be reading a glorified crafted PR statement. I think that's irresponsible and as good as fake

The DNC strategy was to amplify Trump because they thought he'd be an easy-lose candidate, and so they did. http://www.salon.com/2016/11/09/the-hillary-clinton-campaign... And the DNC/Clinton campai

Myself (a liberal, NYT reader for decades), was upset when I realized that the publication was pushing Clinton so hard without telling the other side of the story. And then leaks confirmed that the press was, err, too friendly with the cand

Congrats! One thing the post didn't answer is where you got the data (IMO, the most difficult part for this project). Are you using MaxMind or something else behind the scenes?

Think we can all agree that the people you are describing are trash. My point is that they are a fortunately very small non-statistically significant group and their beliefs do not represent the beliefs of most Americans (yes, including Tru

Have to be careful with definitions. There are some fringe groups of white supremacists and their ilk which pretty much everyone (including Trump) wants to crawl back to their cave. There is also a diverse group of people of all backgrounds

As an immigrant from the (once) Soviet Union, the current inability among my Silicon Valley/tech friends to say anything but pro-left views scares me. Even hinting that I may want something other than NYT-like viewpoints seems to cause

It's a long running joke on the sub after being constantly accused of being bots (and probably bots created by Russian hackers closely working with Trump.)

As one of many T_D users, I sure love to be called a Russian bot. So, citation needed. Edit: to people downvoting, please elaborate.

From a fellow immigrant, please don't believe everything NYT/CNN tell you (i.e. daily fearmongering).

NYT, for one, often reiterated that Trump has no policy proposals despite many of these (e.g. https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies ) being out for awhile.

That's fair and respectable. E.g. Martin Shkreli would probably not be a suitable investor for you. However: "He has a plethora of public comments revealing a shocking lack of empathy or caring about the greater good." Very m

That's an unusual stance for someone who is a CEO of a company for "rekindling passion for public service in millions of local government employees" and is worrisome. You wouldn't support people like these government emp

In fact popular IMEs like Sogou do this and also get updated to recognize names of famous people, movies, etc. You can even type abbreviations for common phrases, like "cflm" and it'll figure out you meant chi-fan-le-ma 吃飯了嗎
