I put nothing past any government who would make a deal with bad ETs for the equivalent of a few gold doubloons [crumbs of advanced ET technology] and let those outer space bastards abduct our citizens. the people who purport to know such things have long maintained that this is the case here.

Quote:
The Washington Post reports


I always start rolling my eyes when I see this, which seems all too often.

Quote:
that the Department of Justice recently issued an internal memo directing top civil rights officials inside the Department of Justice to examine how disparate impact regulations can be changed or removed. Similar efforts are also underway at the Department of Education as well as the Department of Housing and Urban Development


So the DOJ is Trump & Co? Does that include Mueller & Co?

And does the Washington Post have any proof of the alleged internal memo?

I'm beginning to wonder what the difference is between the Washington Post and WikiLeaks. Other than WikiLeaks being more reliable.

That Trump is a racist is not news.

If Trump means anything he says it's not news, it just means another dead end to another brick wall.

A new psychiatrist report, anonymous source and secret document, just obtained by the Washington Post, begs to differ.

Pretty sure he meant it's not New news, as everyone has known it for decades.

From the trump's refusal to rent to black people to DJT's front page attempt to have the "central park five," executed: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/201 ... e-new-york

I don't count The Root as being quality journalism. It has a decidedly left-wing slant, so naturally they're going to accuse Trump supporters of being racist.

Yeah I know what he meant. What I meant is that old news keeps getting presented as headline scoops, which people continue gobbling up and posting all over the place.

Sources like that are counted on, gobbled up and believed hands down. Forget verifying. Forget critical thinking. Just believe what you read from unreliable sources.

They're observations, not accusations.
