Random Politics & Religion #37: W/ Bubba The Love Sponge

Vic, it seems she said she was going to recuse herself but didn't.

Question to no one in particular. How many people were murdered in Chicago since this thing started? How many of them made the national news even for seconds?

Ukraine goes to the polls on Sunday with a comic who plays the president on his own TV show the favourite to become the next president in a protest vote against the country’s leaders.

Volodymyr Zelenskiy, an actor with no prior political experience, is likely to win the first round with a lead of up to 10% in some polls. Behind him are Petro Poroshenko, the current president who made a fortune from his confectionery empire, and Yulia Tymoshenko, a former prime minister who has decried corruption and promised to boost pensions and cut heating bills. If no candidate wins a majority, the top two will face each other in a runoff later in April....

Not at all Skull.

Its just white nationalists, nazis, and other assorted scum on the far fringes of the right have these violent tendencies. Sometimes with mass murder as a prominent feature.

I can't think of any massacre committed by black nationalists. I can vaguely remember something by a black sovereign citizen.

Also two by incels.

But the worst mass shooting was by someone who left no political footprints.

Betsy Devos this week, the worst Sec. of Education in history.

Ben Shapiro.

I agree, I disagree with lumping an entire group of people, white people, by the worst of their own.

Are all black people doing/ selling drugs? Are all hispanics in gangs killing each other? Are all white people crazy? Are all Muslims anti semetic? I would have to say no.

Also, where does Oklahoma Bombing list on the worst acts? Yep, totally aware Timothy was a big ole whitey.

Until September 11, 2001, the Oklahoma City bombing was the worst terrorist attack to take place on U.S. soil.

McVeigh had a lot in common with today's sovereign citizens.

Huh? What's he got to do with this? Is he being labeled Alt-Right again?

New York magazine and HuffPost journalist Yashar Ali fired off a series of explosive tweets Friday afternoon accusing Dafna Linzer, the managing editor of politics at NBC News and MSNBC, of trying to bully him into delaying a story “at the behest of the DNC.”

“Yesterday, I received a call from @DafnaLinzer who serves as managing editor of NBC/MSNBC politics,” Mr. Ali wrote. “Dafna’s conduct during the call was highly inappropriate and unethical. So what was the purpose of her call? She called me to bully me on behalf of the DNC.”

Mr. Ali said he was preparing to publish an “innocuous scoop” from a trusted source about the dates for the Democratic National Committee’s first 2020 primary debates, when he received a “menacing” call from Ms. Linzer trying to get him to wait on the scoop until the DNC had enough time to notify the state parties first.

“She asked if I could hold the story and I said I couldn’t,” Mr. Ali wrote. “She was agitated, ‘why not?’ I said I’m not going to lose a scoop. Then she got angrier and said ‘Why not? It’s not a big deal, let them make a few phone calls.’ My jaw dropped.

“I realized that @DafnaLinzer, the head of all political coverage for NBC News and MSNBC wasn’t calling to advocate for her network, she was calling to advocate the DNC’s position. She wanted me to wait so they could call state party leaders,” he wrote. “I kept telling Dafna no, that I wasn’t waiting. And she kept getting more frustrated. She was exasperated…she didn’t understand why I couldn’t wait for the DNC to make their state notification calls.”

Mr. Ali said he eventually ended the call after Ms. Linzer demanded to speak with his editor.

“After the call with Dafna I published the stupid scoop,” he wrote. “Then I did a gut check and over the next two hours I called 10 experienced prominent reporters and told them the story. They were all stunned by what Dafna did and encouraged me to share it publicly.

“I’m not naive to the fact that this incident is going to be twisted by some with an agenda to discredit the media and say they collude with political parties,” he wrote. “But I think its more important to expose bad behavior then keep it under wraps. What Dafna did was unethical.”

Ms. Linzer, a former Washington Post reporter who has been managing editor of politics at NBC News and MSNBC since 2015, has not yet responded to Mr. Ali’s allegations.

“I still think that there was a man in the woods in [camoflauge]… and just a lot of experts I’ve talked to, including retired FBI agents and other people and people high up in the Central Intelligence Agency, have told me that there is a cover-up in Sandy Hook,”

Benghazi.

McVeigh had a lot in common with today's sovereign citizens.

Mcvey was also a godless atheist.

Religious beliefs

McVeigh was raised Roman Catholic.[90] During his childhood, he and his father attended Mass regularly.[91] McVeigh was confirmed at the Good Shepherd Church in Pendleton, New York, in 1985.[92] In a 1996 interview, McVeigh professed belief in "a God", although he said he had "sort of lost touch with" Catholicism and "I never really picked it up, however I do maintain core beliefs."[90] In McVeigh's biography American Terrorist, released in 2002, he stated that he did not believe in a hell and that science is his religion.[93][94] In June 2001, a day before the execution, McVeigh wrote a letter to the Buffalo News identifying himself as agnostic. However, he took the Last Rites, administered by a priest, just before his execution.[95][96][97][98][99][100] Father Charles Smith ministered to McVeigh in his last moments in death row.[101]
