Fox and CNN are only good for corroborating a story.
if both have the same basic story and facts then it's usually true.

NYT is pretty good, and where I get most of my daily news.
NPR is also good.

Paul turned me on to checking other sources I'd never look at just to take the pulse, such as Drudge Report.

Dem precious pew pew penis extenders. :disappoint:
Yeah, no.

Is the Bill of Rights important? Absolutely. But there are plenty of other issues to make someone not want to vote for a particular party.

If you refuse to share anything else, then we can only assume that you care more about the one thing that you do talk about incessantly than you do about everything else combined.

I follow AP for world news and others. I funny enough open twitter to get a pulse on what is going on and then investigate whatever I am interested in myself. I don't think I've watched actual CNN or Fox News on TV/stream since the primary debates.

NYT is slowly going the way of CNN though.

Well, no one here gives a fuck about things like child/sex trafficking so why bring it up?

Point taken about a hobby I enjoy, and since we’ve run off everyone else who enjoys it, I’ll STFU.

What is your boy Trump doing to stop that? Yes, if you didn't vote for Killary's Pedo Pizzas then you voted for Trump.

Sex trafficking seems to be a hot button issue from QAnon posts.
It's been a long-time issue here, mostly due to the I-10 corridor. I wouldn't say anyone here supports it, but it's just not often discussed.

You talking about guns in the second sentence?
IDK, Eric is on a social media hiatus, he might be back. I work with him, and he's been reloading and getting into competitive shooting, which is right up his alley.
I'll let Griff make the call about removing Waxer from Сибирь. I'm not here for that type of stuff, only to assist.

It is hard to make an executive order when you're not the president.

He’s been in the federal government for what, 47 years? I guess that’s not long enough to do anything.

So that invalidates Trumps actions?

Troy might be being a little much, but I'm having a legit chat.
Not attacking you at all.

I may not agree with (EDIT: All, I do agree with some.) your positions. but I'm not interesting in fighting about it at all.

For the record I don't like Trump, but I also don't think every single thing he's done in office is bad either.

Or step out of the closet and participate instead of passive aggressively talking down to everyone? If you know better than the rest of us, then show us the way. Grab us by the pussy, tough guy.

I will not. If you voted for letting at least 200000 people die, the open denial of science and reality as we know it, and straight up mocking education and intelligence... then you deserve to be ridiculed all day every day.

You are assuming all of this. Apex did not say who he voted for. You don’t know who he voted for. Stop assuming and have a discussion. That’s intellectual discourse. We do not have to agree on 100% of everything we discuss.
