		<description>The Conservatives may very well be proven to be self-serving cynical liars and hypocrites, but they will still get away with it.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Remember When...&lt;/p&gt;

Years ago, back when we started to understand what sort of surveillance the government was doing, and liberals were concerned about it, and conservatives said something like, &quot;If you are not committing a crime, don&#039;t worry about it.&quot;

Yeah, let&#039;s remember that in the coming weeks as the table turns.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;“Just like CNN tracked down this child and used media exposure as a bludgeon against him for posting (truthful and funny) things that they don’t like, we are going to begin tracking down their families as a bludgeon against them for publishing (seditiously fraudulent) things that we don’t like,” wrote Auernheimer. “CNN, this is your one singular chance to walk back this behavior of public blackmail. You have one week to fix this.”

Auernheimer’s list of demands includes the public firing of the KFile team, a denouncement of their alleged threats, a $50,000 college scholarship for HanAssholeSolo, and a public assurance that “he and his family will never be harmed by your organization.”

The only problem: HanAssholeSolo is an adult, according to CNN. 

“We are going to track down your parents. We are going to track down your siblings. We are going to track down your spouses. We are going to track down your children. Because hey, that’s what you guys get to do, right? We’re going to see how you like it when our reporters are hunting down your children,” continued Auernheimer.

Auernheimer instructed CNN employees that do not want to be doxed to quit within the week and denounce the organization’s alleged blackmail.

“We didn’t make these rules – you did – and now we’re going to force you to play by them. Hope you enjoy what is coming, you filthy rat kike bastards. Kill yourselves, kike news fakers. You deserve every single bit of what you are about to get,” concluded Auernheimer.

Within hours, personal information for multiple CNN staffers and their family members -- alongside images and gifs of individuals with CNN superimposed over their faces being shot in the head -- appeared in the comments of the posting.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>The Economist didn&#039;t pull a lot of punches, but I noticed they seemed a bit fastidious about noting there were 26,100 mentions of &#039;“Centipedes” (“pedes” for short), a nickname for fellow Trump enthusiasts&#039;. There&#039;s plenty of self-hatred there, when you scratch the skin of a Trump supporter. #Sad!

&lt;blockquote&gt;Such people are now providing the raw material for a president’s tweets. Happy birthday, America.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>So he went on a twitter tirade accusing Obama of &#039;colluding&#039; with the russians...

He thinks that by being the first to make an accusation means he somehow &#039;wins&#039;... its like we are dealing with a severely disturbed 5 year old.


Who here thinks that Trump wouldnt burn the world down if given the chance, rather than be forced out of office...?

Anyone? 

A minority of Americans gave nukes to a psychopathic toddler... and now the world waits to see what happens.</description>

		<description>Magnificent video, dude, especially that scene at the end with Trump holding up Lady Liberty&#039;s severed head. Hope it goes viral, you&#039;ve earned it.</description>
