Trump, rightwingers, minorities, blame, jobs etc.

It's a futile attempt to undo Democratic ideas for 2-4 years. The long term trend will be toward Democrat ideas of the state. This comes about as more and more people move into cities.

The jobs thing may move somewhat in the Trump direction. But any plants built in the US will be highly automated. Fewer jobs than previous generations in industry.

Brett Easton Ellis gets it.... http://www.irishnews.com/magazine/2017/ ... it-917938/
Speaking as he launched his art exhibition in central London alongside multimedia artist Alex Israel, Bret said: “I didn’t vote Trump, I’m just saying the hysteria is bothering me a lot more than the reality of what he’s doing.
The hysteria continues ... http://connecticut.cbslocal.com/2017/02 ... t-officer/
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

Kellyanne Conway mocked for inventing the 'Bowling Green massacre'
Adviser to President admonishes media for failing to report massacre never took place

Senior Donald Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway faced ridicule on Friday after she used a TV interview to invent a terrorist attack that never happened, before criticising the media for failing to cover it.

Ms Conway, who coined the term "alternative facts" last month, was defending Mr Trump's Muslim travel ban to MSNBC interviewer Chris Matthews on the basis that Barack Obama had previously blocked refugees from Iraq after two men became "radicalised" and carried out the "Bowling Green massacre".

She described the pair as "the masterminds behind" the supposed Kentucky attack and added: "Most people don’t know that because it didn’t get covered."

Such a massacre never took place and the Obama administration did not place a six-month ban on Iraqi refugees, as Ms Conway also claimed.

More...
Fake fake news.

Oh for the love of all that is....

she was referring to the Bowling Green Terrorists and misspoke. She's clarified that. Two Iraqis were arrested in Bowling Green for arms-related charges and other terrorism related charges. One of them is serving life in prison. She's already clarified her statement.

God damn ,there is no end to this ridiculous hysteria ....

More scum-baggery from the US's hostile and damaging government.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world ... 53676.html

Fine. We'll push on without the US and grow closer ties with China who are expected to lead the World in clean energy.

How many is 'fewer than 60,000'? Twelve? Fifty-nine thousand seven-hundred and eight-three? Is 60,000 a low number? How many Muslims emigrated to the US last year? etc etc.

This isn't even alt-fact or fake-news. This is no-news.
