    Because "we won" is stronger than "that's morally not right".

    Abortions for some, tiny Trump flags for others.

    A political prankster passed out small Russian flags emblazoned with President Trump’s name at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference — where Trump supporters blindly waved the banners during his Friday morning speech until they were confiscated, according to online reports.

    The media banning thing; doesn't it go against the First Amendment?

    I'm Canadian, remember. I'm still stunned that a man like Trump became President.

    I could be totally wrong here (I very likely am), but I think that the right to a free press simply means that the press can say whatever the hell they wanted and the government can't take legal action against them. I don't believe it guarantees the press access to anything (such as Spicey's "gaggle" or whatever bullshit that was today). If that sort of rule exists, I would imagine it was legislation passed at a later time.

    Tom Perez is awarded the position of chairman of DNC via votes from status quo lobbyists who act as though corporations need their feelings protected from being vilified and that we lost the election because we weren't central enough... in contrast to the Republicans who won riding on the back of a man who represents some of worst neo-fascist tendencies the conservative platform has to offer.

    Oh, and they also voted against a ban on corporate donations because Hillary didn't get nearly enough fundraising to win the election and why win elections when you can be a lapdog shill and be given every financial advantage in the private sector regardless of who is in the White House? Here's to hoping the country still exists after Trump leaves office in 2025.

    If George Carlin were alive today, he could do this same exact bit almost word-for-word and it would ring truer today than it did when this was originally recorded.

    And in a move that surprises approximately zero people, 45 announces that he's too thin skinned to attend the annual correspondents' dinner.

Some are fantastic, some are not. My favorite ice cream shop is owned/run by a Muslim family. Wearing a hijab doesn't mean that you didn't learn the local culture. It's fine. The ladies behind the counter make the ice cream with a hijab on. So what? They're just as American as the white people buying their ice cream.
    Hey man...the Major of my city is a Muslim...my city has 15 Million people....his name is Sadiq Kahn ...he is a wonderful guy..he has a strong chance of being the next Prime minister of the UK...

    He tolerates no radical islamic bullshit and is progressive....

    Its not about blaming muslims...but if you want to live in the real world..you will admit like Sadiq Kahn would that there is a major problem in the islamic world....80 Percent of all terror attacks in 2016 were islamic related in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Nigeria..

    He would still make for a better president than the others in this cycle though
    What fucking fancy hotel was he in where they RFIDd the fucking pillow cases and towels?? Holy shit. Those are some valuable towels.

    Yes he has been overly paranoid for a long time and he's too full of himself to be truly any better than Trump. He might be a good advisor once in a while as to cyber security but that's about it. He's cute but that is not an electable quality. And cute + nuts = nah.

    Sweden newly confused by the person appearing on Fox as "Swedish Security Advisor," since nobody in their government knows who he is... because apparently he's been living in the US since 1994 and has no position in the Swedish government...

    Countdown till Trump tweets about all the fascinating stuff he said on Fox...

    Tracking via Facebook is why I HATE Facebook.

    That article is interesting. Not too long ago, I Googled some shit about Obama that was appearing in Instagram comments, something I'd never seen, and I wanted to see if it had any validity. The search resulted in PAGES AND PAGES of right wing sources going on about this allegation, none of them very recognizable or credible, with not ONE main stream media source and no centrist to liberal sources. None. I thought at least one would address these allegations and I sincerely doubt it's a liberal coverup. These right wing sources are clearly taking advantage of Google search algorithms which are no longer solely dependent on keywords.

    But why did they need RFID? That's overkill for laundry. RFID is like laundry LOJACK. "We located our stolen wash cloth in a cottage near the mountains. Alert the authorities!!" Most hotels just allow for loss or they charge guests or the laundry service for big missing items. Theft is why the Four Seasons doesn't put their name or logo on valuable room items. Tracking them by radio frequency is stupid, but I digress.

Google is trying to give you exactly what you are looking for. It uses info about what other people have been looking for and HOW they have been looking for it. It looks at the exact phrases being used and so many other factors. And it's constantly changing. And who the fuck would go to google and start off with "the mainstream media is..." and hope to learn about how super cool awesome responsible and important the MAINSTREAM MEDIA is? How many people seriously are searching like that? lol
    I don't know what the hell you're talking about, because you keep contradicting yourself. "Google isn't your phone's autocorrect" - but also "google is trying to give you exactly what you are looking for".

    Pick one.

    If I were to type in "[x] is..." in a search engine, I would be doing so because I am looking for a objective information, perhaps a definition, of [x]. I'm looking for facts first, so that I may then form my own opinion. I'm not looking for someone else's opinion first. I get that the results will include comments about the subjective status of [x], but not as the top result. To clarify:

    If I type in "mainstream media is..." I want to be told WHAT it is, objectively. I want to be told that "mainstream media" is a phrase for longstanding, established news outlets that have been in existence for decades. I want to be told that these are outlets that are staffed by people who studied at journalism school. I want to be told that they rely on a set of established criteria, such as multiple sources, before deciding something is fit to publish. I want to be told that they actively seek to set aside personal bias, to the best of their ability, and report on ALL sides of a story. I want to be told that they do not have mission statements that include "exposing the left / right bias of other so-called news".

    But that's not what Google did. When he typed in "mainstream media is...", Google took the liberty of saying it is dead. It is dying. It is fake. It is fake news. That's all that it told him.

    THAT IS NOT AN OBJECTIVE SEARCH.

    Does it reflect what many people are currently talking about? Yes, it does. But that's all speculation. It's subjective. It's people's opinions. When I go to the single largest reference desk on the fucking planet, I want the top results to my searches to be pure, objective facts that match my search criteria - not a computer's guess or opinion. If I walked into the library tomorrow and asked the reference librarian where to find maps of local hiking trails, I would expect him / her to tell me where those maps are. I would not expect the reply to be "the hiking around here is terrible". I would expect the information I requested. After looking at the maps I was provided, I might then go back and ask them for their opinion of the local trails. But that's only after I've looked at the objective information I asked for.

    it's a big business now and it cuts down on a lot of the operational cost of even basic things like computer-based laundry sorting when you are laundering huge amounts every single day and would otherwise have to employ multiple people to do that and this is a run-on sentence.
    Wow thanks, that article is REALLY interesting! It seems like it would be expensive, though; like maybe too expensive for nursing homes (which are NOTORIOUSLY TERRIBLE AT DOING AND SORTING HOUSE AND PATIENT LAUNDRY).

    I don't think any mainstream media sources are actually unbiased either. Newspapers like the Daily Mail are mainstream and laughably biased towards a certain demographic. To that end, why did Trump ban the Daily Mail from his White House thing, home of Piers Morgan and Katie Hopkins i'd say it was on message
