Theory about ending homelessness/panhandling
Would homelessness end entirely if people stopped giving homeless money? The Mayor of Omaha, Nebraska has advised citizens to stop giving panhandlers money as they are on the rise. Here they wait by the interstate exit off ramps with signs.is ignoring them a moral decision?

Should Jared Kushner security clearance be suspended?
http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/335243-dnc-suspend-kushner-security-clearance-amid-fbi-scrutiny

The DNC, for political purposes obviously, wants to suspend Jared Kushner's security clearance. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason by Jared secretly met with the CEO from VEB, the Russian state-owned bank.

First advertiser pulls ads from Sean Hannity show
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/cars-leaves-sean-hannity-dust-pulls-advertising-article-1.3193120

Cars.com just pulled their ads from Hannity over the Seth Rich fake news propagated by Hannity even after Fox retracted the story. Corporate censorship of the press? Nope.

Advertisers don't want to be associated with certain things that can damage their reputation or at least that's what they say. Google lost several major ones for inappropriate ad placement on hate web sites.

But Sean Hannity only lobs truth bombs! What's their fucking problem -- They knew they were advertising on Fox, right? Hannity has stayed true to form for as long as I can remember.

@hauta "Truth bomb" wouldn't need him to retract his story. More so its a story that you feel holds some sort of water but to be fair there are also people out there that believe the world is flat. So I guess to each their own.

Not fake news. Seth Rich was possibly killed by the DNC, and his parents are in fact supportive of the investigation into the mysterious circumstances of his death.

The private investigator was quoted for repeating a Fox news story and not information from his own investigation. The PI violated a confidentiality agreement with the Rich family not to talk to the press. There are reports that the PI was paid by a right wing conspiracy member that is associated with Fox.

Yay, Fox News reporters that were in Gianforte's office confirm Ben Jacob's account that the Montana Republican candidate assaulted the reporter. Note: Gianforte had issued a statement blaming Jacobs, so this looks like Gianforte is a flat out LIAR! Now let's see if any of this matters to Montana voters...

"The family of Seth Rich demands police to release the information on his murder case."

The same information that has led the police to believe that it was a robbery, not a politically motivated murder.

Okay the family literally is on board with the police and the request to release info is literally to set the record straight to show it's some major political scandal, and the article you posted makes that pretty damn clear.

Hannity retracted his story and then retracted his retraction in a tweet:
https://mobile.twitter.com/seanhannity/status/867211447901851649

While Republican shills keep reviving the story based on they heard it on the Internet so it must be true, but not if it's about Trump and company working with the Russians:

I'd laugh just as hard if CNN reporters and audiences got duped the same way Hannity and his audience got duped. Personally don't care about leanings when it comes to this sort of thing.
TrPrado (461 D)
25 May 17 UTC
Hannity's source (Kim Dotcom) has a history of fabricating emails to support conspiracy theories.

Seth Rich's family asked Hannity to stop peddling the story.

Seth Rich's father caught Dotcom trying to hack into Seth's email.
TrPrado (461 D)
25 May 17 UTC
Not to mention, considering the position Rich had in the DNC, I doubt he'd even have access to any of the emails given to WikiLeaks

"Not fake news. Seth Rich was possibly killed by the DNC, and his parents are in fact supportive of the investigation into the mysterious circumstances of his death."

So parents would consent to even murdering their own son if it meant Hillary would win. Not sure if thats a compliment to how desperate people are to get Hillary elected or an insult at how horrible Trump is.

That is - of course not what happened because nobody gives a fuvk about either candidate enough to start assassinating people.
Hauta (1618 D(S))

Lock her up. So the fuck what? Hillary Clinton's guilt (or not) should not distract from what Trump is doing. Why does @eturnage turn a blind eye to Trump? Trump is potentially a threat to the nation, and at least, a threat to servicemen on the nuclear subs or the spy assets in Syria. Kinda like Trump's own personal Benghazi, if you will.
