Dr Gloom 19825 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Definitely true on Facebook. But then, which right thinking people use Facebook for news? lots of US voters, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I just don't really use Facebook. The idea of it being a news source is something of a revelation to me based on this election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26351 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 A Senate committee denied Mr Sessions a federal judgeship in 1989 after lawmakers heard testimony that he had used a racial slur. He had also joked about the Klu Klux Klan, saying he thought they were "OK, until he learned that they smoked marijuana". Mr Sessions was also accused of calling a black assistant US attorney "boy" and telling him to be careful about how he spoke to "white folks".

Renton 17783 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 i'm not sure what the irish government are going to do about trump like, but fair play to him for speaking his mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pabjqmYWGkM Back home now so able to watch this. He's absolutely spot on for calling it like it is imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19825 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Do you care to share with us what it is you do then? I'm a journalist, like i said. I make videos but I'm not a cameraman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 That'll be the comfortably-off liberals' fault too, I imagine. As much as I take this to be an in jest remark, it's worth pointing out that this guy is likely fucking minted, and can't have cause for the same manner of concerns as most of the working class who have been abandoned by centre-left political activity. Thus, he will just be a racist. That's on him. The comfortably-off liberals need to ask themselves why their message of peace (bombing the middle east) and success (you'll make it if your family made it first) isn't resonating with the people who have voted the racists into power though.

Dr Gloom 19825 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 You're really not clarifying your role here. What have you got to hide? Struggling to see how I can be more specific. I'm a reporter, I produce videos for my company's website but I'm not a cameraman. I'm going to stop short of revealing my actual identity if that's ok. I'm definitely not Lee Ryder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
