Why did the media give Trump so much coverage? Hillary Clinton used her media contacts boost Trump in secret "Pied Piper" strategy hoping to shift Republicans to the right https://t.co/DAmWNq9K0f see attachments (archive) https://t.co/F1vj0s7uav

So you have a phone with BT headphones, but if you want to make volume louder, you have to find the phone and confirm dialog that you really want to make music louder. How retarded is that? Person who came with that should be publically whipped.

Trump's opponents take him literally and not seriously. #Trump's supporters take him seriously and not literally.

While I have no love for Trump, and will be quick to admit he is the worst president we ever had, the truth is, the electoral college is important. The main issues with it that I have personally are the changes that were made to laws around how the electorate can choose to vote. But the fundamental principle of the electoral college was a positive one in its original form.

Men are actually more disadvantaged than women in most developed countries - new study https://on.rt.com/9lu8
The terrible horrible no good very bad 2018 in review:
After withdrawing from the Paris climate accord, the U.S. exceeded the annual percentage of carbon reductions of most countries that are part of the agreement.

The terrible horrible no good very bad 2018 in review:
"In 2018, unemployment fell to a near-record peacetime low of 3.7 percent. That’s the lowest U.S. unemployment rate since 1969. Black unemployment hit an all-time low in 2018."
Is this good? Oil will continue to be used, is it good for the US to lead in its production - perhaps there will be a greater emphasis on doing it as well and as clean as possible here in contrast to middle east counties and Russia?
"In December, the United States reached a staggering level of oil production, pumping some 11.6 million barrels per day. For the first time since 1973, America is now the world’s largest oil producer."
Instead of nightmares, I have a kiddo who says "night mirrors" which really seems like a more accurate term.

Remember, one of the reasons we hate Trump is his uncouth, uncivil tone.
Rashida Tlaib’s First Day in Congress: ‘We’re Gonna Impeach the Motherf**ker.’
"Young girls like my daughter and niece now have officials they can see & aspire to be like one day!" - seen on the Twitters
This. Must. Be. Stopped. Impeach now.
Last month, [the number of employed Americans] grew to a record 156,945,000, a gain of 4,869,000 in two years.
At the same time, the number of unemployed Americans increased by 276,000 last month, to 6,294,000, as more people were actively looking for work but had not found a job...
In December, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose 11 cents to $27.48. Over the year, average hourly earnings have increased by 84 cents, or 3.2 percent...

DuckDuckGo served over 9 Billion private searches in 2018 (and is on pace to shatter that record in 2019)!
Despite our traffic growth, though, the number of personal profiles we store remains unchanged.
It's still zero.

18 deaths now at the southern border under a single administration.
"The reviews of these 18 detainees’ deaths demonstrate that the US government continues to fail to ensure that all detention facilities provide adequate health care to immigrants in detention. This failure is all the more egregious because many people in immigration detention should not be there to begin with...
The Obama administration should take immediate action... "

How is complaining about cultural appropriation any different from telling people, "Act your race and keep to your own kind"? And how is that any different from how actual white supremacists would talk?

Well that's that. Trump isn't literally Hitler, he's WORSE than Hitler because he supports fracking. Imagine how things would have gone in Hitler was focused on energy instead of murdering millions.
Thanks Noam.
