^ Colombia, no! I'm blocking you

btw here is some fake news from the NY Times. read the whole thing. there's 3 or 4 scandals in it:

A Back-Channel Plan for Ukraine and Russia, Courtesy of Trump Associates

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/02/19/us/politics/donald-trump-ukraine-russia.html

A week before Michael T. Flynn resigned as national security adviser, a sealed proposal was hand-delivered to his office, outlining a way for President Trump to lift sanctions against Russia.

Mr. Flynn is gone, having been caught lying about his own discussion of sanctions with the Russian ambassador. But the proposal, a peace plan for Ukraine and Russia, remains, along with those pushing it: Michael D. Cohen, the president’s personal lawyer, who delivered the document; Felix H. Sater, a business associate who helped Mr. Trump scout deals in Russia; and a Ukrainian lawmaker trying to rise in a political opposition movement shaped in part by Mr. Trump’s former campaign manager Paul D. Manafort.

Manafort.

At a time when Mr. Trump’s ties to Russia, and the people connected to him, are under heightened scrutiny — with investigations by American intelligence agencies, the F.B.I. and Congress — some of his associates remain willing and eager to wade into Russia-related efforts behind the scenes.

Mr. Trump has confounded Democrats and Republicans alike with his repeated praise for the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin, and his desire to forge an American-Russian alliance. While there is nothing illegal about such unofficial efforts, a proposal that seems to tip toward Russian interests may set off alarms.

i was reading through the comments on a fox news article about Melania's "speech" at the campaign rally yesterday and the jokes people made about her on twitter.

i wish i had just turned away instead... it was pages and pages of stupidity. this is what they do 24/7. they eat and breathe this stuff. every other word is libtards, snowflakes, welfare, etc. and every "point" they make is actually funny sarcasm if i didn't know better.

and this isn't even the depths of the internet. there's still brietbart and stormfront, although i suppose it's the same people on all 3.

and here i was thinking the dunk contest was going to be the worst thing i saw this weekend.

we deserve a higher caliber of troll

personal attacks... straight out the playbook, then again, I wouldn't expect anything more

No one is attacking you as a person, we are criticizing you antic on NT.

And given all the insults you like throw around, spare us the hypocrisy.

When your CiC trusts the TV more than intelligence briefings.

I mean, some people would do despicable things to know the kinds of secrets this man has access to and here he is, watching Fox News as his primary source of info [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]

Gotta love how the OG purveyors of fake news have completely hijacked the word to attack literally ANY critical news regarding them

Remember how the word first came into the political lexicon during the campaign when there were all sorts of fake news stories regarding Hillary being spread online,many originating from Russia. It got so bad that there was even a gun nut who tried and almost shot up a pizzeria after that "pizzagate" BS spread like wildfire. Now the same folks who benefited from and didn't speak out at all during all of that are the first ones trying to claim "fake news" regarding every critical, non-fluff piece...the irony is rich. Shame that not more people call them out on it

That Sater dude is an FBI informant too. His name came up in the NYT article as one of the architects of the Russian sanctions relief proposal.

In the U.S., immigrants commit less crime than native-born Americans.

Damn I just read a pretty depressing Washington Post article about how after this whole month Trump fans think he has been good. They think that every thing the media reports is just a hiccup that the media magnifies. They think that a part of why Trump hasn't kept his promises is cuz the Democrats are cockblocking him. And they genuinely don't understand why he gets so much hate.

Lol damn, homies.

Time to deport the natives!

You know why America was great in the past? Because we started as all immigrants (and Native Americans). Now these immigrants have become natives over generations, and they commit crimes, collect welfare, and generally hurt our country.

Make America Great Again! Let's get rid of the natives, starting with trump.
