Is Alex Jones a "performance artist" or always unhinged/dangerous to his children? Interesting ramifications for Trump and Melania if they side with the mother.

 

Imagine what the victims' parents from the Sandy Hook massacre are thinking as they find out this guy was pretending all along when he said that whole thing was a hoax.

Really disappointing to see Turkey take a few very big steps down the road to dictatorship.

 

Very much this. That margin was so razor thin too, it really doesn't help people who think shenanigans brought the win to Erdogan.

Going to my first ever march, March for Science, this Saturday in Chicago. Interested to see how it goes!

 

It will be fun and inspiring I'm sure. Seems well organized as well.

Ugh apparently Trump called to congratulate him on it.

 

Feel real bad for a lot of people in Turkey right now. Right-wing populism is sweeping the globe and is going to cause an awful lot of suffering.

French election on the 23rd is going to be a big deal.

Same story as always "omg dem way outperforming!" "Oh actually they don't have what they need zoops"

 

Fulton County has a card reader that reads hundreds of voting cards. One of those cards is broken in a way that nullifies all the counting. They don't know which of the hundreds of cards it is. Probably no definitive result for GA-06 tonight.

Looks like momentum of the Communist Party candidate has ebbed...was really looking like a threat there recently.

Almost impossible to believe those free speech/states' rights scholars would ever do anything to deliberately provoke anyone.

 

 

 

Bill O'Reilly, HE GONE

http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/fox-news-b...ent-1202033807/

 

O’Reilly’s attorney, Marc Kasowitz, asserted that the host has been the target of a “brutal campaign of character assassination that is unprecedented in post-McCarthyist America,” fueled by “far-left organizations bent on destroying O’Reilly for political and financial reasons.”

 

Fox News declined to comment on a report by the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday evening that it was preparing to cut its ties to O’Reilly. A source close to O’Reilly on Tuesday afternoon said there were no exit negotiations underway, but the tide appeared to shift just a few hours later.

 

The groundswell of pressure on O’Reilly and the leaders of 21st Century Fox started April 1 when the New York Times published a detailed report of $13 million in settlements that O’Reilly and Fox News had paid out to five women. The report sparked advertiser defections and public pressure campaigns by organizations such as UltraViolet and Color of Change.

 

 

Blacklisting hundreds of innocents in a hysterical and unfounded Communist witch hunt...versus standing up to narcissistic multi-millionaire or billionaire sexual assault perpetrators, pretty much the exact same thing, historically. At least there was no Hitler reference, they're learning from Spicer's gaffe.

Regarding the French election. I Would love to see Jean-Luc Mélenchon pull this off. He has some great ideas.

He's also in favor of exiting the EU, though, and that could be really bad for a lot of immigrants in France.

Turkey Arrests Dozens Over Referendum Protests

ISTANBUL — Dozens of members of Turkey’s political opposition were arrested in dawn raids on Wednesday, as a crackdown began on those questioning the legitimacy of a referendum on Sunday to expand the powers of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

 

Mr. Erdogan has claimed a narrow 51.4 percent to 48.6 percent victory in the vote, but protesters in pockets of the country have marched in the streets every night since then to demonstrate against what they assert was a rigged election.

 

After warnings from Mr. Erdogan, at least 38 people accused of participating in the protests were rounded up Wednesday morning or issued arrest warrants, according to lawyers and relatives of the detained.

 

Though tens of thousands of people have been detained for political reasons in Turkey in recent months, these are the first political arrests reported since the referendum.

 

“These people are mainly those who attended the protests after the referendum and raised their voice against the referendum result on social media,” said Deniz Demirdogen, a lawyer for one of the detainees, Mesut Gecgel.

@TimeForAllofUs

Chris Hayes pushes Tom Perez to join Bernie in saying "the ruling class & billionaire class" are to blame for our problems. Perez refused.

 

 

 

Can't wait to lose more elections.
