At this point, Mudman abruptly ends the conversation. He usually insists on the last word.
The moral culpability of a soldier's actions in war has no relation to whether or not he was captured or whether people might admire him for surviving capture

They have two big stories at the moment:

Planned Parenthood and a transexual scaring the ever loving poo poo out of Ben Shapiro on some B rate TV news show. PP is the better of the two options.

I don't know man. I was talking to someone who participates quite a bit in Planned Parenthood (as a volunteer coordinator), and she seemed very concerned. From what I heard her say, protests around Planned Parenthoods have intensified, and Congress is taking up a vote to potentially defund it BEFORE they vote to have an investigation into it. I don't know, she might be misinformed or there was some miscommunication involved about some of the details, but it sounds like Planned Parenthood's facing a rough patch.

I might actually volunteer there again as a patient escort, I feel like they need all the help they can get.

I think that if these videos end up with a defunding of PP, then they didn't matter. They are so weak and obviously bullshit then all it would have taken is some sort of 1980's style satanic panic where they got a bunch of kids to walk onto the floor of congress and claim they had their kidneys stolen and sold on the black market with similar results.

Interestingly enough the soldiers during 'Nam that did testify and disclose war crimes for the military tribunals that did happen and stuff like the Winter Soldier Investigation did run with that but that was because they believed the culpability was on their officers and further up the chain of command. Mind you this is also something a lot of leftists agree with too.

Does Murdoch actually have a moral spine or sound beliefs to stop focusing on Trump or can Trump actually hurt his bottom line in any way?

One of the guys behind the Planned Parenthood videos literally just made up a quote from Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg.

quote:

"Look, Planned Parenthood was founded on a eugenicist philosophy,” Newman responded, “in other words, ‘exterminate the people that we don’t want to have too many of,’ which is a quote from Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a sitting Supreme Court justice. That’s what abortion is all about."

It really pains me as a person who works in the media to see people do poo poo like this and be celebrated for it. They're lying, pure and simple. It's not even that hard to fact-check and see that they're lying.

But they're put on pedestals because they 'stuck it to those durned librul babykillers' despite every scrap of evidence pointing to the contrary. They roll around in poo poo and think it's gold, then get indignant when you try to tell them otherwise.

It makes me wonder if I want to continue my career once my time in the service is up, if this is the media environment we're dealing with today.

Panel 1: Murdoch winding a toy robot labeled "Fox news"

Panel 2: toy robot getting close to the edge of a table, the edge is labeled "TRUMP 2016"

Panel 3: Murdoch reaching out for it, but the head has turned towards him and is exploding his head with laser eyes.

I'm not sure. I'm worried pundits are carrying water for him that it's moving the Overton Window to make his nativism and racism more legitimate.

Back before the 2010 midterms, I saw Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin pretty much driving Republican messaging against our charismatic President who had just come off of one of the best-run campaigns ever, and I thought there was no way those idiots following them would do something like win control of legislatures and governorships that had been blue for decades.

People are reacting super badly to this though. Like people laughed at Beck and Palin but Trump is just, ya know, saying terrible things. We've already seen what riding that wave gets us, Beck and Palin weren't smart they just understood that on average there are a lot of voters who think 'hey things aren't perfect now MAYBE IF WE JUST CHANGE EVERYTHING SUDDENLY' that's why you don't super often have a full control over both houses and the executive branch.

At what point do the real powers within the GOP start panicking? I assumed they would have done something to kill his candidacy before the first debate but it seems like he has too much momentum at this point for them to keep him out of it. Are they just hoping that he flames out on his own?
