Thanks, good read. There was one line that really stood out for me. That they don’t list what accounts are being tracked as they don’t want to debate what’s a troll and what’s not. Yeah right, they don’t list accounts cause those accounts go into heading and they will have to spend time and effort finding new accounts.

Yeah, heard he was fired too. And his last known address had been leaked, a police car has been stationed outside the house.


But it’s idiots like him that will get trump elected again

What about idiots like Alex Fields, will they have an effect on the election? The right loves to feel victimised over idiotic events like this but truthfully it's quite mild compared to some of the stuff perpetrated by the far right extremists in the US

Yup, like violent white supremacists in MAGA hats viciously assaulting people.

Poor aerospace engineer pursuing a PhD at UCLA while working at Northop Grumman. Severe case of economic anxiety, I guess.

Breaking on MSNBC now... Pruitt’s resigned.

Acting EPA head is a coal lobbyist and former chief of staff for the biggest climate change denier in Congress.

^ Right needs to be careful about the fourth kid coming forward about a congressman who covered for a team doctor molesting kids when he was a coach at Ohio State.

In fact, let's review where 45 is on this today:

"I don’t believe them at all. I believe him. Jim Jordan is one of the most outstanding people I’ve met since I’ve been in Washington. I believe him 100 percent. No question in my mind. I believe Jim Jordan 100 percent. He’s an outstanding man.” - Trump on Jim Jordan today.

Also today...

45 hired Bill Shine who was named in multiple lawsuits over Fox’s handling of sexual harassment.

It's a twofer!
Whataboutism at its best.

The Trump administration’s quest to reduce the number of immigrants—of any status—in the United States has taken many forms, some visibly abhorrent and others quietly so. The Associated Press added to the list of discreet moves by the administration with its report Thursday outlining how the Pentagon appears to be quietly discharging immigrant recruits that enlisted as part of a U.S. government program that fast-tracked them to citizenship in return for their service.

Not that many of us are surprised but this has never been about illegal immigrants like the trumpet narrative has tried to portray it as but rather about immigrants in general.

Quick question, how is the civil war going?
Still going, truce, or someone won? Who won?

I've been pouring over all the news headlines so I can add a few lines in my book, but I can't seem to be able to find any news
I am not sure, but it seems it took a heavy toll on "Clean Your Room" Jordan B. Peterson.

He talks about his health at the end of the latest podcast with Joe Rogan. It's quite interesting.

What did he say? Isn't he on an exclusively meat diet?
Ja going from something like LCHF to now completely carnivorous and apparently it's working and he is feeling great, but lost a lot of weight.

The guy who was on Rogan's podcast that eats only meat apparently has terrible bloodwork that he can't explain.

Shawn Baker I wanna say?

Yes, exactly.

And it shows in their attempts to denaturalise citizens.

lol, it's not very difficult to figure out why eating only meat is unhealthy.

The human body is a complex thing. In theory there's no reason we shouldn't be able to run on only meat for long periods of time. Putting that into practice might prove otherwise though.

This is Jordon Peterson's daughter Mikhaila -
http://mikhailapeterson.com/about-me/
https://www.businesslive.co.za/bd/l...os-academics-meat-only-diet-ruffles-feathers/
Canadian Mikhaila Peterson shares more than DNA and a depressive tendency with her famous father, Dr Jordan Peterson, the Toronto University psychology professor, author of the best-selling 12 Rules For Life: An Antidote for Chaos and self-proclaimed "professor against political correctness".

Father and daughter have also become global poster children for the benefits of a carnivorous diet. Both credit it with reversing all symptoms of debilitating autoimmune illnesses and depression that plagued them for decades.

A wholly carnivorous diet is on the extreme end of the low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LCHF) spectrum. It is also a "ketogenic" diet, in which the body turns fat into ketone bodies to use for fuel, instead of glucose.
I honestly think everyone is different in terms of dietary requirements, what works for one will make another sick.
