    i hate that shit
    like romney hating obamacare when it was essentially the same thing romney enacted in massachusetts
    but that was more romney than the conservatives, and the libs are far more resistant/unwavering than the right
    as for getting better care for the vets, wayyyyyy overdue
    people tend to forget that everything they have is thanks to the brave men and women who've fought for them

    Bernie under FBI investigation for bank fraud. Would be nice to see him behind bars. Won't happen though.

    but wait, he's a socialist
    does that we'd all suffer the same prison term even if we committed less of a crime or none at all?

    This isn't bank fraud, it's democratic bank fraud.

    And now in the "News You'd Rather Not Know" category ...

    Weaponized AI Propaganda Machine loose.. Inventor Cambridge Analytica only accepts GOP coin! :laff:

    ITEOTWAWKI and we all feel fine.

    https://scout.ai/story/the-rise-of-the-weaponized-ai-propaganda-machine

    In the most truthful way I find this WAY scary.

    How to combat it? Can you? Skynet anyone? Go dark now? Not so possible now that they can closely correlate everything about us from banking, voting, grocery habits, driving patterns, web surfing history, TV viewing habits, phone app usage and of course it all starts with keen analysis of Facebook Likes. Long, detailed story that is as fascinating as it is disgusting.


    errr... power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely

    All while Facebook is profiting handsomely from permitting 'dark ads' to ever run in the first place... all while its stock soars.

    The irony.

    The game is "Screw the Consumer" and Cambridge Analytica wins with a Zuckerberg assist.

    I suppose 'someone' was going to own us anyways. :popcorn:

    Bill Shaikin @BillShaikin·19h

    Sean Doolittle, who has hosted Syrian refugees, will now be working down the street from the president that bars them from the USA.

    Hahaha the LA Times just couldn't resist. Funny how all these sports writers fell asleep for 8 years.

    Delta refunds $30 to Ann Coulter after her Twitter rant
    by Daniel Trotta | Reuters — 7 hours ago

    (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines Inc. said it would refund $30 to conservative commentator Ann Coulter after she unleashed a Twitter tirade over being reassigned to a seat with less leg room, and the airline called her string of insults "unacceptable and unnecessary".

    "We're sorry you did not receive the preferred seat you paid for and will refund your $30," the airline told Coulter on Twitter.

    "Additionally, your insults about our other customers and employees are unacceptable and unnecessary," Delta said in a second tweet.

    Delta appeared to have deleted its tweets after they were posted on Sunday afternoon, but not before they were shared thousands of times.

    Coulter, one of America's best-known and most provocative pundits on the political right, ripped the airline with a series of tweets on Saturday and Sunday, saying she was "kicked out of a carefully pre-booked seat to a less desirable seat, without explanation, apology, etc".

    She also directed her ire at the "dachshund-legged woman" who took her seat with extra leg room, posting a picture of her.

    Coulter, who has 1.6 million followers, likened Delta employees to Nurse Ratched, the heartless villain in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", called Delta the "worst airline in America", and suggested the ideal job for a Delta employee would be prison guard, animal handler or an East German policeman.

    The incident generated some social media sympathy from people dissatisfied with airline service, a topic that went viral in April when a man was dragged off a United flight to make room for a flight crew in transit.

    But some of the sentiment turned on Coulter when Delta revealed that the upgrade she was denied was worth only $30.

    "Only people like Ann Coulter could make one take the side of the airline. I will book my next flight with @Delta," said Twitter user Mark Curtis.

    Delta representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Coulter responded on Twitter by saying she was still waiting for an explanation why her seat assignment was changed.

    There are reasons.
    People are not entitled to reasons sometimes.
    The other lady maybe had some rare health issue that makes her legs tiny due to circulation.
    Maybe the lady is embarrassed by her situation and asked for the airline to keep it confidential. Or maybe its standard to keep reasons confidential for the customers sake. Maybe the leg cramps and circulation issue I just made up originated as symptoms from a venereal disease and such it is embarrassing to mention.
    We never know.
    That is why we should not be such dicks like Ann.

    Why is Ann "controversial"? Because she's not a leftist?
    I don't even like her but give me a break.

    No... because she is a loudmouth.
    Being a loudmouth is all about causing controversy.
    She is a dramaturge. Her job is to work up drama.
    Trained her bud Bill Maher, who is a leftist.

    Yeah I think that Rube is spot on, Ann is a raging attention whore and first class drama queen and has learned that inciting peoples wrath pays handsomely.

    Don't get me wrong, after 2M+ air miles I think nearly all airlines suck at times. Delta & United more frequently suck filthy balls. American ever so slightly less. Only good airlines anymore are foreign. Emirates, Virgin, Singapore.
    But as Rube alluded with the VD reference, shit happens.
    Airlines sometimes contrive 'needs' to shuffle people around. (to accommodate exec platinum Me:D for example)
    Most humans cooperate. Not Ann. No not Ann. Now if she spent the extra $30 for their twisted 'extra legroom option' then 'somebody was in those rows that did not. Unless tha airline oversold them. Again. Sort it out, you're in coach anyways. You want better service? Pay for it.

    Shit happens. Deal with it.
    Or show the world yet again exactly what type of an enormous whiny douche you prefer to be?

    And since we've watched Bill Maher torch her numerous times I'm not thinking that they are terriblly close 'buds'

    They are, really close. And torch each other. Probably screw each other too.
    Bill essentially trained her how to be this way and put her on TV back on his old show.

    I've read excerpts of her books. I don't know which opinions are controversial. I can't speak to her personality. If she's an attention whore, fine. I trust you that she is. There are many other comparable political commentators, authors, and celebs who are ignorant blowhards but they aren't considered "controversial" because of which side of the aisle they're on.

    Dude, who is talking about her opinions?
    You asked and we answered and it had nothing to do with her opinions or her politics.
    You are ignoring the answer and are going on about her opinions.
    It is not her opinions that we are commenting on.
    Not even her personality or character we are talking about.
    We are talking about her shtick.
    She is an actor playing a role in the media. Her role is to cause stress/drama.
    Bill Maher is similar, but a leftist on most everything but Islam.
    He and Coulter meet on their hate for the middle east.
    They are agents of hate. Use hate to stir up the emotions of those they believe to be sheep/weak easy to manipulate.
    It makes them money for nothing and chicks for free.
    These guys are movie stars in the political heaven. Ann Coulter is a regular Mr. Ed.

    Ok that last one was a cheap shot. Coulter gets a lot of shit for looking like a horse but in truth she is not nearly as bad as people make it out ot be.
    She is older though and things are starting to get wrecked.
    But in the past she was a skinny tall blonde white chick... and that has always gone a long way.

    Mr Ed was funny. Fail to see the humor in either Coulter and Maher.
