That is a good point, it would be reasonable to worry about AIDS policy as it can easily turn into a raging epidemic again if the wrong policy decisions are made.

i mean as much as i would like trump to be impeached or something because he is seriously unqualified to be president and no matter what it's goin to suck unless you're a white male for the next 4 years, pence would be a loving nightmare if you're not a christian white male

It's really depressing to think how many people's careers would have to end decisively and in short order for the next four years to not be a nightmare

I've seen "fake news" thrown around a lot recently but like Zuckerberg says, is it merely factually wrong or just opinions people don't want to hear so they call it fake?

My faith in people's ability to recognize factual wrongness as opposed to opinions they don't like has been severely hurt by this election, that's all.

Edit: Zuckerberg is indeed a piece of poo poo and every day that Facebook doesn't take their proper responsibility as a news distributor is a day that is creating the next Donald Trump, but I did agree with him that it can't be left to users to mark news as fake or not.

News outlets around the world are reporting on the news that Pope Francis has made the unprecedented decision to endorse a US presidential candidate. His statement in support of Donald Trump was released from the Vatican this evening:

“I have been hesitant to offer any kind of support for either candidate in the US presidential election but I now feel that to not voice my concern would be a dereliction of my duty as the Holy See.

WTOE 5 News is a fantasy news website.  Most articles on wtoe5news.com are satire or pure fantasy.

Before Bernie speaks let's think about all the good things that will happen now that Trump has won:

1. We'll never have to hear Fight Song any more.
2. Nobody can ever do the whip or the nae nae.
