Chef Jim Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) Funny, in Canada and Quebec which is considered way to the left, we require ID cards to vote. I don't get why this was never in place from the beginning. There are no black people in Canada to disenfranchise. Duh Edited May 7, 2016 by Chef Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I'll throw this here.........................no real surprise.......................it's just how it works out in the media. I hope no one gets confused by the article............... Former Facebook Workers: We Routinely Suppressed Conservative News by Michael Nunez Facebook workers routinely suppressed news stories of interest to conservative readers from the social network’s influential “trending” news section, according to a former journalist who worked on the project. This individual says that workers prevented stories about the right-wing CPAC gathering, Mitt Romney, Rand Paul, and other conservative topics from appearing in the highly-influential section, even though they were organically trending among the site’s users. Several former Facebook “news curators,” as they were known internally, also told Gizmodo that they were instructed to artificially “inject” selected stories into the trending news module, even if they weren’t popular enough to warrant inclusion—or in some cases weren’t trending at all. The former curators, all of whom worked as contractors, also said they were directed not to include news about Facebook itself in the trending module. In other words, Facebook’s news section operates like a traditional newsroom, reflecting the biases of its workers and the institutional imperatives of the corporation. Imposing human editorial values onto the lists of topics an algorithm spits out is by no means a bad thing—but it is in stark contrast to the company’s claims that the trending module simply lists “topics that have recently become popular on Facebook.” These new allegations emerged after Gizmodo last week revealed details about the inner workings of Facebook’s trending news team—a small group of young journalists, primarily educated at Ivy League or private East Coast universities, who curate the “trending” module on the upper-right-hand corner of the site. As we reported last week, curators have access to a ranked list of trending topics surfaced by Facebook’s algorithm, which prioritizes the stories that should be shown to Facebook users in the trending section. The curators write headlines and summaries of each topic, and include links to news sites. The section, which launched in 2014, constitutes some of the most powerful real estate on the internet and helps dictate what news Facebook’s users—167 million in the US alone—are reading at any given moment. http://gizmodo.com/former-facebook-workers-we-routinely-suppressed-conser-1775461006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie is just sparring to get Hillary ready for Trump. I think over the course of the campaign it proved to be an effective strategy on his part. Hes known as the straight shooter of either primary, and taken that %@$% Hillary a lot deeper than anyone thought Edited May 10, 2016 by truth on hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Deranged Rhino might...but honestly, that's a conspiracy theory that's probably too stupid even for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Anyone think Bernie is hanging around racking up more States, because he has good information the email scandal may bring her down? No. Bernie is Hillary's sparring partner until she gets the nomination so she is prepared for the general. Period. Two people trying to get Hillary to the WH. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Two people trying to get Hillary to the WH. Nothing more. Nothing less. the only way that makes sense is if they think the more time Billary goes head to head w/ Trump, the more ground she loses. And theyre just trying to minimize it. Who knows, could be. Just finding it somewhat inexplicable how Bernie is still hanging around, not backing off. The other explanation is he does the truly ballsy thing and decides to run as independent. Which begs the non-obvious question: does he take more votes from trump or Hillary? Since id likely vots for trump, but would consider bernie, and never Billary...the only potential in my case is he takes a vote from trump.
