And they talk about how, “Good, I’m glad that people are thinking about wipes.” “I was hoping to get some.” Then I rapidly begin to imagine conversations with other people, “Oh g... |

| It looks like China is imposing measures intended to prevent births within the Uyghur Muslims. If the intent of these actions is to destroy the Uyghur Muslims in whole or substantial part, then the actions are by definition genocide. Jewish World Watch has said that the large-scale arbitrary detenti... |

| It was March 1990, and Trump was being interviewed by Playboy magazine about his life as a real estate mogul. At one point, Trump was asked about a trip he'd taken to Moscow a few years prior. Trump said he'd been "very unimpressed" with the Soviet Union. "Their system is a disaster,... |

| Trump was upset because there were reports of him hiding in a bunker (the poor baby!), so he had to appear tough by walking to the church and using his thugs to clear out peaceful protesters. Cue Anderson Cooper, exasperated, saying "Oh my God": https://youtu.be/0Szu_a5WqhI Trump wants to ... |

| Protesters made it into the CNN building and damaged the interior. Man, CNN is not having a good day. Still, I don't think CNN has done enough to "afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted", and they were able to get their 3 crew members released today when the woman who was arrest... |
