The new head of the FCC has been going to work on undermining net neutrality rules. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/02/05/techn...m.facebook.com/

They're pushing into "big lie" territory. How many times did Conway talk about the "Bowling Green Massacre"? At least three was the last count I saw.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 6, 2017 -> 01:45 PM) Any poll negative towards Trump is fake news per the Donald. lol I find the whole effort by Trump and Trumpists to spin away "fake news" pretty interesting. The whole thing behind the "fake news" discussion was that there were unquestionably people deliberately and knowingly making things up because they'd get clicks and shares on facebook etc. They weren't even necessarily people trying to push a particular narrative with the fabricated stories but more likely some Macedonia teenagers looking to make some easy money. But Trump/Trumpists seem to be proud of their consumption of deliberately fake news, like there's a knee-jerk reaction to immediately go 100% for whatever 'liberals' are criticizing.

Lol the chorus of boos for goddell Congrats the Marty Bennett, too Lol at Kraft's f*** you to goddell

From the start of the third until the start of their last drive, Atlanta called 15 passes and 10 runs while leading the entire time

Warriors, Indians, Clinton, falcons. Bad time to be the "sure thing" winner lately.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 5, 2017 -> 09:16 PM) After that Julio catch, run the ball 3 times, kick a field goal, and they are popping bottles right now. And why did they keep hiking it with 20 seconds left on the play clock? Falcons oc has got to feel awful right now

Interesting play calls by Atlanta here

Good lord that catch

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Feb 5, 2017 -> 11:12 AM) I feel like a lot of liberals (and conservatives) can benefit from this very reasonable position on Islam and the problems posed by it. (1) Not every concern over Muslims is inherently racist. (2) Not ever Muslim is a terrorist. If we could get the people in this country to agree to those basic principles, we'd go a long, long way to addressing the problem. I haven't watched this video, but Sam Harris has been hard core anti Islam for over a decade so I'm a little skeptical about the reasonableness of something he's offering.

To the surprise of no one, it turns out that Trump's trust does essentially nothing to remove the conflicts of interest. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/02/03/us/po...m.facebook.com/

We really need to hear both sides of the slavery and civil rights fit black people arguments.

The idea that someone can call themselves a "financial adviser" and sell you high-cost, high-fee investments that are better for their pocketbook than yours seems like a bad idea, though.

BTW this announcement was part of a much larger announcement regarding Trump's executive order to begin rolling back financial regulations bigly. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/busines...m=.7588ee2fe490

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 3, 2017 -> 10:59 AM) But the f***ing coal miners will get their jobs back. Trump made some noise about reactivating the (stupidly expensive to operate and not particularly useful in 1945, let alone 2017) battleships. We didn't know he meant he'd go back as far as the coal-fired ones.

In a surprise plot twist, Germany will be leading the Allied coalition against the evil US empire in WW3.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 3, 2017 -> 10:44 AM) @realDonaldTrump 5h5 hours ago Iran is playing with fire - they don't appreciate how "kind" President Obama was to them. Not me! This is about the third day in a row or so that either Trump or someone from his administration has made a statement about Iran. I would hope they aren't seriously considering an attack on Iran or war. I hope it's just wanna be tough guy talk. War with Iran would be devastating to say the least. In case anyone missed it, there was Michael "HOLY WAR AGAINST ISLAM" Flynn who put Iran "on notice" recently, and Spicer falsely claimed that Iran attacked a US Navy vessel. Remember that Trump said during the campaign that he would have ordered the sailors who were taken into custody for straying into Iranian waters to shoot back at the Iranian Navy, and claimed that that wouldn't have been an act of war.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 3, 2017 -> 10:28 AM) I know this is photoshopped but it'll make you chuckle.

crap this just reminded me that I have an old rollover IRA in Prudential that I need to move over to Vanguard or Fidelity or someone ASAP
