When MLK was marching for Freedom, critics blamed him for inciting violence (even though the protestors were unarmed) and smeared as a Communist puppet. South Africans marching to end apartheid were branded a Communist plot. People marching to end the Egyptian dictatorship were branded a Hamas and Al Qaeda plot. I’m…

There’s something telling about these people who want to “shake things up” vote for the far right and not the far left. You could have voted for Jill Stein and really shook things up.

Sadly no, Facebook published their criteria for censorship and it doesn’t match up.

If Iranian soldiers “enhanced interrogated” the captured American soldiers, people would be calling for war crimes prosecution.

So, the way Rudy tells it, Scarborough is a liar because Giuliani won an award in England a while back (on the basis of PR).

Congressman Peter King said it’s all smoke but no fire. But Pete, it’s growing and growing and growing!

You forget that the followup investigations blamed him for FDNY deaths, he insisted on the city’s emergency command center being inside the WTC (despite advisors warning him it is a known terrorist target) because he wanted the convenience of it being less of a commute from his office. Also he didn’t want to pay for…

South Africa is absolutely fine, your anger is misplaced. Apartheid was over a generation ago and now black leaders run the country. It’s worth going to, the apartheid museum alone is worth the trip, let alone the safaris.

The issue is that Republicans have no better solution, and are in no hurry to even look for one. Same methodology as trying to dismantle healthcare, they can point to current flaws in the ACA but were in no hurry to replace with something better.

“There is a tweet for everything!”

Russia and China? Which you rage against all the time about our relationship with Russia, so now you’re telling me that we should do what Russia does as well?

Even moreso, Iran wanted the money back with interest (raising the total to over $1 Billion) and Obama said no.

President Rouhani said he is going to talk to the other European parties in the deal, and intends to stay in the deal if Europe can avoid or protect from the US sanctions. (The problem is that the US sanctions also blacklist any foreign companies that do business in Iran. This may mean that Iran is screwed no matter…

Facebook has a really hard time figuring out what crosses the line or not. Watching Ted Cruz try to grill Zuckerberg for allegedly censoring rightwingers on Facebook was bad enough, imagine if Facebook gets in trouble for the slippery slope. Should they ban posts by actual ISIS members, what about people who say…

Paris? Isn’t that were those anti-American libruls all go?

They got it from a few, but each one was strongly doubted by analysts. You might be thinking of “Curveball” who was an unreliable source with a known shady history. Cheney really wanted war, so he overruled the analysts and played his importance up despite the agency warning against it.

What’s astounding is that at one point the Bush administration tried to claim that their false WMD intel was because their Guantanamo detainees lied about their existence under torture, even though it took hundreds of times of waterboarding for them to break down and confess the WMD existed. Are Republicans just too…

It’s actually not that easy. It’s hard to separate people who talk about current events from people who support violence (e.g. you can’t just ban certain words). And Facebook got a lot of flack for censoring right-wing posts, with a lot of Republicans complaining.

Dinesh intentionally knew about the donation limits and used “straw donors” to get around them. Rosie donated too much, which happens in both parties, and is resolved by refunding it or giving it to other campaigns.

Facebook has some surprising double standards. It pulls some pro-terrorist propaganda and takes down anti-semitism, but allows anti-Muslim content to stay up (even though its just as violent).
