Same here. I was a news hound and used to have the news on all day long, if only for background noise. Then it became just noise. I started to realize hearing the talking heads argue agitated me. *CLICK* Problem solved. Now it's just a 1/2 hour of nightly news moat of the time.
Some of the tone around here better mellow the fuck out already or we’ll have a new “A Decade of Bans” thread spinning up. I’m not sure how else or how many more times we can ask everyone to settle the fuck down and be civilized.
Seconded. I use to look forward to new posts in this thread but lately it's devolved to similar conversations I use to have with a coworker. No matter what the opinion or thought was, if it was from (insert political/newshead here) then he'd cut me off and say "That person is a piece of shit." with complete vitriol. For example: Me: I was watching 60 Minutes and said "Anderson Cooper was talking about the opioid crisis and h....." Him: "Anderson Cooper? He's a real piece of shit." He wouldn't even listen to what he had to say because of his political beliefs. Sad.
I was kinda surprised the nightly news played an excerpt of Guliani's butt dial, or even reported on it. Is it legal to divulge that kind of thing? I wish he would have just stuck to being "Mayor" Guliani.
He was a pretty horrible and corrupt chief of police before he was a shitty, overrated mayor. Probably better for your country if he went even further and had stuck to being nobody. Personally I wouldn’t care if he was forced into sucking diseased dicks for the rest of his life. He’s always been a smug, lying clown ever since his name was first spoken in public so fuck him.
Why wouldn't you be allowed to? HE called THEM and left voicemails. There's no privilege, there are no state secrets, etc. It's very much like people who put those disclaimers at the bottom of emails thinking that if they misdirect an email that somehow limits what the recipient can do with them. Sorry... you cannot enter someone into any kind of contract unilaterally. I might as well send you an email with "this email is intended to make Nettdata rich, so you are required to transfer all of your life savings into his bank accounts now."
In other news, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of ISIS, died during a US raid in northern Syria. He blew up his suicide vest and killed his children along with himself. A true cunt to the end. Good riddance.
I wonder if that vest was made with munitions supplied by our own government. That would make a neat little story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_Sycamore
Bring on the next hard-to-pronounce nobody leader who will be dead eventuallyb. Followed by the next one.
