I mean the odds are pretty good that it will never get passed in that form, but still he thought of having our federal government exist exclusively as a military state is terrifying. RIP IN PISS CULTURAL ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS THOUGH. Hey side note, I know one or two of you idiots work at a big 4. What's the rumblings say about DODD-FRANK potentially going away? I would assume some depts. are thrilled and others are full of people desperately looking for new jobs?

She probably didn't gain too many followers from it. Like where else are they gonna go for that type of news? Most of them are there since they don't know that PBS has news.

Easy to vaccinate against though! Fortunately smallpox can't come back unless the US or Russia decides to do a suicidal bioweapons attack or something really wacky happens like someone getting it from a decades frozen corpse in Siberia or something.

I guess I mean it from the perspective of people who make an honest effort to try and be as objective as possible about the news rather than people who simply watch the news for confirmation bias. I would imagine people that follow news anchors or news shows simply for the host are the same people who prefer to watch to either have someone to fall in line and agree with, or to have someone to hate. I try to be as objective as possible (but realize I probably fail to some extent -- as does probably everybody). I never watched Maddow before that and I'm even less interested in watching her following that. E: now that I think about it, my question/comment probably only applies to a small portion of people and is irrelevant in the grand scheme. boop the snoot fucked around with this message at 12:19 on Mar 16, 2017 |

Should have worded it "extra virulent" to not trigger everyone's sperg. Worst case is the diseases getting a foot hold and mutating just enough to make the normal vaccine less effective. Then it's game on in gen pop until the newer versions can be made and distributed. Upside is MMR and polio aren't rapidly mutating viruses like the flu, that's why the vaccination program works so well against them.

Nah your comment applies to me as well, I watched the stream because I'd heard she was someone to be taken seriously. After that wet fart I dunno that I'll be bothering to follow any MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS she makes in future.

Even when she's done very good reporting/analysis, I can't stand the whole "heh, here's 25 minutes of smug snark before I get to the loving point " I prefer when she does writing, because she seems to know you can't do that in an essay and keep readers past the first couple of sentences.

I don't think weak is the right word. Everything she was putting out in that show was, for the most part, completely contrary to what she probably hoped it would do. It made her look despearate and/or just completely ignorant about what a 1040 is and/or just after a ratings grab. And it actually made Trump look smarter than her for that moment. The whole thing just reeled of knee jerk and uneducated desperate journalism.

Frosted Flake posted:Trump broke the media class. I wish that was true but this poo poo has been going on since forever. Samuel Adams was notorious for just printing fake poo poo news to rile people up to help with his cause. France did the same thing during their revolutions. They had a poo poo ton of newspapers who printed fake poo poo or fake poo poo that other news papers printed. Donald Trump, the idiot, the child, the moron, is still pulling pranks children do on each other but on the media and has been doing it for about 40 years now. Some people hand wave it by calling it 11th dimensional chess but it is really basic.

That could be a problem for Gorka, as if he is a member of this group, he shouldn't have been allowed to become a citizen in 2012, meaning he possibly fraudulently became a citizen.
