what happened...
Summary:
The OP brought up the recent case of mega-conglomerate news entity, Sinclair Group, which exerted influence with many affiliates seemingly in favor of Trump’s “fake news” crusade.
Some of the conservatives here replied disagreeing with the assumption that this is somehow suspicious or inappropriate.
Boyst, predictably, took it as an opportunity to once again invoke his “dingle.”

Anybody with Scott Pruitt in the DC Death Pool is looking good right now.

Reasonable comeback from someone unable to stand behind their thoughts.
Tell me:
I don't have to tell you anything.
I'm not supporting anything here or taking a stand one way or another. I was making fun of the kids. You realize of course that in the movie Village of the Damned, the kids are evil and have a supernatural power to make people do things against their will and eventually have to be destroyed to prevent them from taking over the world.
It's a joke, you !@#$ing dolt.

That you support this just shows what a hypocrite you are in the lack of understanding and the logic that you simply don't have.
Whatever, infant

"Disappearance of souls." Nifty little workaround. Ontologically dubious, but politically expedient. Stupid and pandering enough that it just might work.
Anyway, hopefully on the next conference call with God, Pontiff guy can bring up a way of simplifying the rules for getting into heaven. This whole two feet in and "complete the process" thing isn't working.
***EDIT:
Hold on a sec...
Upon review, the Vatican is changing the ruling on the field. There is sufficient evidence for them to state, once again, that "The souls of sinners descend into hell, where they suffer "eternal fire." Please re-set the play clock, remains second down.

I've been out of the loop and am just learning of this. From what I gather, Trump !@#$ed a porn star and people are pretending to care.
Did I miss anything?
That’s about it. If you’re Michael Cohen, you care A LOT!

Well, there are the text messages in which she completely denies ever have sex with President Trump.
Haven't heard that. Where did that come from?

Do you doubt her story?
I'm not saying infidelity is an impeachable offense. It's not. But what's the point of trying to discredit this person whose account is completely credible?

Isn't Trump the subject of dozens of law suits as we speak?
Who isn't?

I could actually see that happening pretty easily.
Yeah, it's not far-fetched. I think what we know of Trump is that his flaws & vices are many, but they're also obvious. We may already know, for the most part, the extent of his shady dealings.

The Shallow State war is heating up now too. Manafort & Gates shouldn’t make a lot of long term personal plans in my opinion.
Wouldn’t it be funny if we go through something of a bipartisan purge in DC over the next few years and among the few left standing is Trump? If it turns out he’s a shyster, a bully and a womanizer, but clean legally speaking?
The true Mr. Magoo!

I would. Neo-Nazis want to turn our society into a living hell for many people. That is very different
Obviously, not all speech is protected. Threats, slander, incitement to violence,...
But just being a dick and having terrible ideas, people are free to do that. Ideally, we should be grateful to them for so clearly showing us who they truly are.

David Hogg's right to free speech is no more or less important than the that of neo-nazis.
Again, this is because of the fundamental nature of rights. The assertion that the government gets to decide that some speech is too ugly or controversial to allow is to acquiesce to the idea that individuals have no rights at all, but instead live under the thumb of a benevolent dictatorship which has the just authority grants special privileges to favored groups.
The underlying moral philosophy which defines natural rights as intrinsic and inalienable is far more important than individual outcomes, like repugnant !@#$s like Richard Spencer saying hateful things.
I'm not disputing any of this.

For the record and clarity - I have no problem with them, or anyone, exercising their right to protest and free speech.
It just doesn't mean I don't get to voice my on concerns about their agenda, regardless of their age or circumstance.
Pretty sure thats Tasker too.
No calling out you or Tasker. It's just that there was a bit of a climate in here a while back when some had concerns about the AGENDA of some hate groups, being accused of wanting to deny free speech.

It’s odd that some of the same people who were in such a hurry to champion freedom of speech when white supremacist groups were protesting now want so badly for these teenagers to shut up.

Conservative Propaganda on Local News
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Posted · Edited by Cugalabanza
I know, but I'm not sure if that's possible. Even if it is, this would not be the place.
This mega news company played bully pulpit with a huge number of local affiliates. I'd say that's objectively creepy and that it undermines the idea of free press. However, many people sympathetic with the "fake news" message would probably argue that this is an appropriate counter measure and a legit tactic to try to rescue democracy from those lefty powers trying to hijack it.
It's messy. You kind of have to dig in and decide what it means to you.
