We also sanctioned 5 individual Russians today, 2 of whom are suspects in the murder of Alexander Litvinenko. Trump dialing back the sanctions on two murderers would be juat lovely. With justification tweets explaining that his sources told him they were innocent.

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/09/politics/cory-booker-jeff-sessions-confirmation-hearing/index.html

quote:

Democratic Sen. Cory Booker is set to testify against Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions Wednesday in an unprecedented move during his attorney general confirmation.

This would be the first time in Senate history that a sitting senator will testify against another sitting senator for a Cabinet post during a confirmation.

After studying RT extensively I have concluded that Russia is STRONG AND GOOD whenever they decide to dump a truckload of cluster munitions on an apartment complex in Aleppo or blow up an airliner full of civvies.

ProPublica published an article before the new year detailing what data Facebook has on users and other advertising-related info.

What's most helpful is the journalist put in a link on where Facebook users can go to opt out of having their data sold to advertising data brokers. I highly recommend you all do this.

I'm not boggled that they still want to go after porn, because of course they do. I'm just amazed that they exist in such a perfect bubble that they think it would actually do loving anything to ban porn in Anno Domini 2017. How would you even attempt to go about it?

Let's be real, these are Republicans. Their laws will hem and haw about how perverted some people are and restrict them because party of individual responsibility but then the wording will be carefully constructed to only apply to "icky" perverted people. Porn marketed to straight, white, males will be excluded. If it involves any other kind of sexual orientation it will be right out, if it involves minorities it will depend on how degrading and subservient to the white guy on set their role is.
