South Korea's Yonhap News Agency says it has started using a computer to write match reports, following a period of intensive development. The Soccerbot program has been created to copy the writing style of human sports reporters. The agency says it tested the software during the 2016-2017 season.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

The funny thing about that last one is its clear they're not reading the article about Chicago. With how news papers are laid out, they're reading the sports section.

So there was a nationalist (nazis basically) march in Quebec city. Antifa showed up, but as with every single protest ever in this province's modern history, so did some jerks who wanted to break random poo poo unrelated to anything else, which caused the cops to shut down the counter-protest, leaving the nazis unscathed.:sigh: There are already so many stupid hot takes out in social media, and I expect press coverage to be along the same lines.

Black bloc is not an organization or group, it's a tactic commonly used by anti-fascist protestors. A tactic which is becoming increasingly useful following the ridiculous crackdown on (non-nazi) protesters in the US lately.

But yes, my hearts and prayers go out to those poor broken windows. Truly a tragedy. The cops had no choice but to shut down the entire counter-protest, who knows how much more atrocious property damage could have been inflicted by those thugs.

I don't care about broken windows, I care about public perception. Punching Nazis can look good because you can make the argument that there is no reasoning with a Nazi (and also WWII). Breaking windows looks like "random vandalism", "aimless hooliganism" and "rioting" to the public. Not a single G20 protest, no matter how many random stores got smashed, seems to have halted the actual advance of globalization, for better or for worse.

tl;dr Broken windows aren't an identifiable political symbol.

Here's Garrison's latest;





I was very disappointed to see Steve Bannon leave the White House. Trump needs someone at his side to remind him about the policies that got him elected. Bannon proclaimed, "The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over."

So soon? What happened? We know what the situation is now. President Trump is surrounded by deep swamp snakes including Soros. Why has Trump surrounded himself with globalists? He said he supports the country first and proved it by kicking the globalists in their collectivist shins when he shunned the Paris Accords. He wants to limit immigration and build the wall to help protect our country. Does he still have the will or means to follow through on his promises?

McMaster is yelling for more war in Afghanistan and Cohn and the rest are pushing Trump to go along with the globalists to get along. It's sad. All I can do is hope President Trump can somehow work to deliver on his promises that got him elected.

Bannon said he would attack the liberals and globalists that have taken over the White House and that's good to hear. So I say, release the kraken that is Bannon!

—Ben Garrison

So Garrison's perception about Trump is that he's someone who has no strong convictions of his own outside of those he's surrounded by? Also, that what Trump has said rings hollow unless the people he's surrounded by influence his decisions because Trump has the attention span of an eight-year old? I mean, maybe it was obvious Garrison's loyalties lied with those that Trump was trying to appeal to rather than Trump himself since Trump is just a vessel for alt-right influence. In which case, perhaps Trump isn't a very good person to get behind????

Trump is both the greatest president alive and a man that can easily fall to the whim of Soros if one jew hater isn't there to yell in his ear about white supremacy according to Garrison. He is both winning forever and already lost.

I love that even Garrison can't figure out how to square the circles of 'Trump is being infiltrated by (((deep state))) agents' and 'Trump openly talks about how much he loves Kushner and Ivanka and how great McMasters and Kohn are' so he just goes with "WHY would this billionaire real estate baron surround himself with wealthy people seeking to exploit the world for profit, and WHY would a man who clearly is easily impressed by military rank constantly allow his generals to dictate policy rather than take an active role???? We may never know, but the jews did this."

Garrison's also the type of guy who'll profess beliefs solely to appeal to his alt-right base, so he'll only jump off the Trump train when everyone else does.

Among the many sadnesses of overlabelled cartoons, there is the assumption that the reader has no friends to turn to for an explanation. The toon is for observing, grasping in its entirety and moving on, adding to an abstract "conversation" but never being actually conversed over.

(Then again, maybe the cartoonist just doesn't want to have to field e-mail from the dumbest readers.)
