Meh... when the fact checkers started going after satire sites in an effect to punch at Trump, they lost a lot of the thimble full of credibility they had.

Trump signs bill helping very vocal anti-Trump folks.

Do you think the rabid anti-Trump musicians deny him credit, begrudgingly give it, or just pretend it never happened?

Teacher who talked shit about a Trump aide is suspended.

Rightly so. While I personally find it funny, that revelation is clearly politically motivated and shows her attitude towards children is probably not in a good place.

Gold digger doesn't give a fuck about husband's affairs.

Somewhere there's a liberal couple "post sex" lying in bed with their swinger friends and a random stranger mocking Melania for her statement here. :D

Remember the opinion piece we posted here a while back written by that cuck who claimed to be "woke", or whatever, about feminism because his wife was regularly going out and getting laid by other guys? Pretty sure he was left leaning politically.

Just because the majority of society wants to see marriage as two people only fucking each other, doesn't mean everyone subscribes to that. And the number of unfaithful partners suggests there's a lot of hypocrites out there...

Tariffs cost Ford $1B and cause massive layoffs.

Back to Melania, "experts" call her bullying claim ridiculous.
For an interaction to meet the threshold of bullying, he explained, it must involve an imbalance of power.
I disagree with that completely. I mean, it's not even in the same universe as the truth.

Get that? If you're rich and/or famous "you can't be bullied". Same logic as "if you're not white, you can't be racist".

Fucking morons.

US Pastor finally freed by Turkey.

Sounds like Trump's administration might have done a backdoor deal to save him.

Trump pissing contest with Warren on her ancestry.
President Donald Trump, in response to Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren's DNA test results released Monday morning, said he "didn't say" that he would pay $1 million to Warren.

"Who cares?" Trump said when asked about the DNA test. When pressed on the once-promised $1 million payment, Trump responded: "I didn't say that. You better read it again."
At a rally in July, Trump said: "And we will say, 'I will give you a million dollars, paid for by Trump, to your favorite charity if you take the test and it shows you're an Indian ... we'll see what she does. I have a feeling she will say no but we will hold it for the debates."
She's roughly 8 +/-2 generations removed from American Indian. So like 0-1%.

Putting this here, since a lot of people went insane when he was elected.

Hey, look at this crazy woman!

I can't help read this graph in Jan-Mar 2018 as "people finding out about the tax cuts, and getting excited about their refunds this year" and then April 2018 being "Wait, what do you mean next year?"

She's actually got less American Indian than the average white person in America. You actually have to go back to the days Pocahontas to find an ancestor that might be an American Indian.

And the press is kind of glossing over the situation where he'd promise her a million dollars...
“I’m going to get one of those little kits and in the middle of the debate, when she proclaims she’s of Indian heritage — because her mother said she has high cheekbones, that’s her only evidence. We will take that little kit, we have to do it gently because we’re in the ‘Me Too’ generation, we have to be very gentle. We will very gently take that kit and we will slowly toss it, hoping it doesn’t hit her and injure her arm, even though it only weighs probably 2 oz.”

More importantly, can she start getting checks from the casinos?

Wow. She's getting destroyed in the comments. And I'm only referring to the intellectual responses. Not the trolling.

I like how both sides' expectations were hit with reality. Those final lines look similar. What's the saying about trades? "If neither side is happy, it was a good trade."

Her line about gladly repeating that her mother said she had "high cheekbones, just like the indians" was incredibly racist, but it's no wonder she isn't being called out for that. Tell us about how all jews have big noses, next.

But it's amusing she actually has less native DNA than the average american.

"A DNA test is useless to determine tribal citizenship. Current DNA tests do not even distinguish whether a person's ancestors were indigenous to North or South America. Sovereign tribal nations set their own legal requirements for citizenship, and while DNA tests can be used to determine lineage, such as paternity to an individual, it is not evidence for tribal affiliation. Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong. It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is prove. Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage."

- Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin, Jr.
My wife (1/4 Native American, or 16 to 256 Elizabeth Warrens Native American) said this guy can suck a fat dick.

Also, whenever I read statements like this, I replace the minority with White / Caucasian for fun.

From what I can tell, American Indians place much more importance on tribal heritage than ethnic heritage.

I almost posted this in the economic thread, but Trump threatens to withdraw from postage agreement.

Basically, many US companies (particularly small ones) have been complaining that it's cheaper to mail something from China to the US than it is to ship within the US due to this agreement. Which seems insane. I can understand wanting to give 3rd world countries a bit of a leg up to some degree, but it has to make sense. Tiered rates for personal/commercial packages, or based on volume, or something.
The price of shipping a 4.4 pound package, the largest parcel covered by the treaty, from China to the United States is about $5, according to United States estimates. American companies can pay two to four times that amount to ship a similar package from Los Angeles to New York, and much more for packages sent to China.
Yes, consumers will pay more, but we'll stop subsidizing China.
