Yeah, it's incredibly disappointing. I have lots of love for Freeland and her conviction, because she is a badass. She is. And it was a goddamn tweet, for heaven's sake. They are trying to silence all criticism and it is working. I am so tired of dealing with the temper tantrums of tyrants. I've already got a toddler for that. Heh, yeah. One tweet and Saudi Arabia is having a very public meltdown over it. I'm okay with being on the right side of history, here. Canadians constantly criticise the government for not taking a strong enough stance on human rights, so I'm going to celebrate when they get something right. I mean, the Saudi Arabian government (through their unofficial-but-it's-them media) threatened us with a 9/11 style attack and cancelled student loans/ medical programs to their own citizens. To have our allies say nothing about it all is pretty shitty. I do think the US would have our back if their leadership didn't suck right now, though.

Fox News continues to be disgusting, and now, outright racist (instead of the thinly-veiled variety):

Today is the anniversary of Richard Nixons resignation.
Lets all hope we have another soon.

"You cant even make this crap up.
"On the very day that a rabid Trump supporting Congressman, Chris Collins, turns himself into the FBI for alleged insider trading, Trump cuts dozens of staff at a financial markets watchdog, the Office of Financial Research."

JFC he just became president to make money for himself and his buddies. How does the entire country not see that?!

Fox News continues to be disgusting, and now, outright racist (instead of the thinly-veiled variety): Hey Laura, do you ever think the Native Americans felt that way? They, too, had massive demographic changes foisted on them. And then they were forced out of their homes, away from their lands and corralled onto reservations.

Obama made money as president is literally the response I got when I asked that same question. A book is a much different thing than the millions of dollars taxpayers are paying for him to stay at his clubs. And thats ONLY the most obvious one.

My mom told me last night that there is now a series of books of Obama and Biden solving mysteries. The first is called Hope Never Dies: an Obama Biden mystery.
Their bromance will continue into the literary world 😂

I don't know why, but it tickles me, for some reason, that the cover artist included Obama's wedding band.

This is a great article about normalizing censorship. Can anyone give me their insite? There are a lot of good points and some things have been normalized and we should be calling the government on things that are wrong. This is from a Russian news agency so take it for what you want. I check all the news locations for all the slants. Questions like these are kind of odd. Especially because I can give you correct counter arguments for the first few just by saying, "If they aren't true they are simply fake news based on ACTUAL FACTS. Source: It’s not a ‘defense’ of Alex Jones to argue that we’re on a slippery slope of internet censorship

Fox News continues to be disgusting, and now, outright racist (instead of the thinly-veiled variety): She is clearly and unabashedly a racist through and through. Her daddy put in her head that America should be white house wives, and POC should have their own water fountain. Taxi drivers should be from west asia, and everyone should stay out of the white mans way. I am so disgusted with her. PERIOD. #Racesagainstracism

Source: It’s not a ‘defense’ of Alex Jones to argue that we’re on a slippery slope of internet censorshipI'm not gonna read the article BUT IMO Alex Jones has literally ruined lives of parents of Sandy Hook. They live with death threats, they move, they have erased their SM presence because of his spreading lies and conspiracy theories. I have less than ZERO sympathy for him. They were average people who did not ask to have their children slaughtered and then be thrust into his hate of a black man leading the nation. You cant yell fire in a crowded movie theater. You can't spread harmful lies that literally destroy people. THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES to those actions and if you can't be on youtube too fucking bad. /rant
