I don't think anyone really wants to stop Trump from resigning. And Pence would probably just pardon him immediately anyway.

Trump will never willingly resign. Never. It would be counter to every iota of his character.

Only way it could happen is in a "gently caress you guys, I'm too cool for this school, I'm taking my marbles and going home" type way, and even that is extraordinarily unlikely because it would require a level of insight he does not posess.

Something extremely shady is going on with that story. None of it makes any sense, not the interview, and not the response to it.

If that interview was 100% on the level, Bannon would be majorly harming US National Security and people would be freaking the gently caress out.

Well, the Barcolna terroist attack is going to bring the Right back to Trump and shield him from any future consequences. Wouldn't be surprised if this helps his poll numbers too. It's what they needed: a perfect distraction from Trump's screw up this week. The RWPM is going to be running on all cynlinders and, in the mind of Right Wingers, Charolettesville will be a distant memory in two days.

This is from a few pages back, but I just wanted point out that terror attacks (especially vehicle attacks) in Europe are becoming depressingly common these days to the point that they don't make the news for very long.

As sad as it sounds, this latest attack wasn't that big and didn't kill that many people so I don't see it making the news much beyond the next few days. Also in a way this latest attack should be very telling if the president condemns it and calls it a terror attack. If he literally calls running people over in Spain a terror attack but it's not terror in Virginia the media better be all over it.

Also there are more nazi rallies coming up which will probably be even uglier so yeah I don't see the Nazis not being in the news anytime soon.

As much as I hope to see Trump impeached, if only for the blow to his ego, wouldn't this just mean we replace him with Mike "Actually competent racist that probably doesn't have alzheimers" Pence?

As a European. If Pence reigns in congress and then uses them to declare himself supreme ruler for life and puts all the liberals in robotic brainwash camps then that's a price I'm willing to pay to see Trump de-throned and his final twitter storm before they haul him away.

It's extremely bad because Sinclair is about to launch an unprecedentedly huge far-right propaganda empire (so big that Breitbart and Fox are actually trying to prevent it from happening, because it will cannibalize their own propaganda empire) and now Youtube will help spread that far-right message far and wide.

I have literally no idea why you can't understand it. If Youtube hadn't made this partnership, then Gen Z wouldn't be consuming far-right propaganda on Youtube TV. It is bad.

It's just another of the broadcast TV streaming services. I actually like it the best out of all the ones I've tried (Hulu, Spectrum, and Youtube).

Their partnering with Sinclair doesn't really mean anything either. Sinclair owns network affiliates in markets that Youtube wanted to expand into so they had to partner with them in order to carry local channels on their service.

Sinclair is terrible for a whole host of reasons like lobbying the FCC to allow them to expand past the current cap on how much of the country one station group is allowed to reach and making their local affiliates include right wing propaganda in their local news, but this news doesn't have anything to do with that.

Just wanted to point out this hot take from Angle Rye on CNN earlier today. It was pretty funny seeing Jon Avlon become more and more mystified from her response.

tldr -- Jon Avlon rips into Trump for trying to pathetically slippery-slope the confederate statues and Washington/Jefferson/etc statues while also agreeing that history shouldn't white-wash the latter's participation of slavery, and Angela responds that we should slippery slope the confederate statues and Washington/Jefferson/etc statues while saying Jon Avlon is wrong somehow and also Trump is wrong but still not aware she is agreeing with the sippery slope argument that he is making.

It was weird to watch.

Like, this is YouTube partnering with Sinclair owned stations so that they can air the national programming that those affiliates run locally. And yeah they'll include the news too because it comes with the package but that's not the point at all.

This doesn't expand Sinclairs audience at all. It'll just be people watching those stations on YouTube instead of with a cable subscription. If they already watched the news then they'll continue to and if they didn't they won't be starting now.

Thanks buddy. :)

My social circle is small but I like to think that I'm persuasive. More importantly, I'm patient. I know I don't have to win everyone over. That's not the point. In groups it's better to apply pressure on individuals and then use consensus to convince others.

The church I go to is evangelical, but not horrible evangelical. The people there are generally either smart or thoughtful and it's pretty close knit. I work well with small crowds and when I discussed the topic last week not a single person offered up a defense for the fascists. There was praying for peace, but no way do I think that that was going to work. It's going to end with blood. Lots of it.

Speaking as a Muslim to you, my Christian brother/sister, God be with you.
