Why yes. Yes, I do.

You fucking idiot, how can she appear in videos shot in east Aleppo if she’s in Istanbul? How has she been seen with other activists in east Aleppo?

Let’s say you’re right. She’s not real. That doesn’t change the fact that there are real kids just like her who are suffering in the exact same way, that thousands of kids like her have been injured, have been killed. Even if you were right, this account has forced people to acknowledge that fact. There are real…

You’re citing a fucking Deniro movie as some kind of “proof” to back up your argument? Get the fuck out of here, shit for brains.

Yes. And to the person in the greys who has noted that this has happened under Obama’s watch, I would note that the US does not control either the world or the region. President Obama has rescued the US economy, provided health care to your citizens, achieved a deal with Iran preventing nuclear conflict, seen an end…

Obama has at least kept us out of yet another unwinnable, incredibly complex  war in Syria, unwinnable in part because of Putin’s support of Assad. Trump’s understanding of the war is frighteningly simple, basically saying we should partner with Assad and Putin to “smash” ISIS. Assad helped build Al-Queda and ISIS to…

It’s not a controversial post because there is no fact to it.

You come off as a doofus. Nobody has any legally protected rights to post on Univisions websites and it’s easy to get internet access without wires (and to purchase access on the black market).

I had been following Bana’s account for some time. The most popular conspiracy argument against the accuracy of this account was that the English was “too good” for someone who never lived in the West. As someone who has lived and worked in the Middle East (I spent a summer in Damascus back in ‘06), it was hardly…

There are videos of her in east Aleppo, both at home and with known Aleppo activists, so guess what? You’re dead wrong and shitting out Russian propaganda. And dismissing Syrian rebels as terrorists is racist as fuck. Your ISIS/CIA thing is straight-up tin foil hat bullshit—Daesh’s history is well-known, idiot, and…

It’s one of the first things I thought of Nov 9 - concurrent with the election results, Assad and Peyton felt free to kill more civilians in Syria, without fear of repercussions.

Unconfirmed, but hopeful:

Reports are that a lot of people, especially young men, are being detained as they try to leave Aleppo, which is what the regime generally does when people flee a city. At least some of these people will never be seen again, and all of them are sure to be brutally tortured.

everyone in this thread is in a time out

Can’t be said enough. Remember those Deadspin dudes complaining that they’ll hold their nose for Clinton but their votes in PA didn’t matter anyways? Yeah, about that...

This is why, in the final accounting, I’m still more upset about the third party voters than others who didn’t vote. That smugness, that insistence that their conscience or Hillary being a “warhawk” mattered more to them than Trump being Trump. Christ, the times I was told I was a “sheeple” because I didnt take…

BTW, to show you just how important a single vote is in a system like our’s (winner-take-all, first past the post), my home state of Michigan is currently being decided by around 11,000 votes...out of 4.8 million. A single percentage point higher turnout in Detroit, a quarter of Jill Stein’s 51,420 voters in the…

She wishes she had that much power.

That’s what makes it doubly infuriating; she thinks we’re actually blaming her.

Susan Sarandon didn’t cost Hillary the election, and I hardly think most people are making that argument. But, fuck me alive if her behavior during the election wasn’t a flighty game of White Privilege Bingo.
