If we stiffed them, it's not theirs anymore. Neener neener.

Well it's been sitting in a bank account earning interest, presumably to use as a bargaining chip at some future time.

Tnl really doesn't want to talk about hillary getting us into a war.

Which one? A current one, or a future-possible? I have thoughts on both.

Russia has been pulling the covers to their side of the bed lately. Very uncomfortable.

This article is important for two reasons: 1) it's a visual sign of the climate change, 2) it's a literal sign the media is anti-intellectual (natural death is a thing, you hyperbolic tool)

To be fair, I think it's just clickbait. The actual articles all contained the full quote in context, and I do think there's a problem with how he phrased what he said, but no one was mislead into thinking he said anything other than what he did.

Everyone thought he literally said veterans with PTSD weren't strong. That seems like people were mislead to me. This isn't a case of the three white people on Twitter complaining about Luke Cage, either.

Those headlines were massively disingenuous and dishonest. Those headlines are written knowing nobody reads the articles.

It's embarrassing, because for a decade I've dismissed Fox News/Rush claims that the media had a liberal bias. Now, the DNC/Podesta emails have exposed a close relationship between Hillary's camp /the DNC and NBC, CNN, Huffpost (not a surprise, but still), and even Politico. I understand the lure of money and viewership, but at the cost of dishonesty and alienating 40-50% of the nation?
