What makes the apparently egotistical head of DHS imagine that more than 290,000 global news sources are going to print Word One about what his shitty agency is doing or is thinking of doing?

No. That was at the friggin' State Dept. The outgoing team were adamant that Bin Laden was going to do something. They were all 'whatevs' and starting rumours that all the 'W' keys got taken off the keyboards. They also issued visas to those Saudi nationals who committed the acts.

Well, all the FOX team are patriots and their work is not FAKE NEWS. So they can be excluded from that right away.

I despair and give up to an extent, given a choice most Real Heartland Americans would vote for FULL ON FASCISM in a hot second, they wouldn't even think twice. Murders of journalists, like in Putin's Russia, are totally upcoming and on the menu. Fox News is our perverted State TV at this point, and thye will be encouraging the murder of journalists any day now. And our democracy will go down the tubes, because so many Americans have been trained by TV and shit rightwing radio to be full-on hateful fascists. Where Democrats and liberals are the enemy. This is a massive thing that we are ignoring at our peril.

Well, I like tall redheaded women, but it doesn't mean that I can't recognize that Idris Elba is an attractive man. (And even if I didn't, my wife and all her friends ensure that I am well aware of the fact.)

Read today where our ambassador to Vietnam quit in protest last year when Trump wanted to send Vietnamese refugees from 30 years ago back to a communist lead country.

I like it so much I'll repeat it, and for the legitimate reason that I don't know for sure it passes the violence test, and because it has to do with Journalism, and I want to see it in all caps.NYT headline:

Trump and co have had so much fun watching their flying monkeys attack on command they want to make it easier, while DHS cyberstalks journos. 2 birds 1 (Russian government inspired) database. I say the most influency journos legally change their names to Donald, Erik and Ivanka
