Abusive PMs

Is it possible to block someone from sending you messages? There's a user who is sending abusive PMs to a few players who played a game with him a few weeks ago.

Not that I'm exactly getting upset about being called a colossal berk, but it's annoying when you think it might be a legitimate message each time

Tom Cotton (AR) to replace Paul Ryan?

Looks like Bannon is setting up Tom Cotton to replace Paul Ryan as speaker of the house. At least getting rid of Ryan is one part of #MAGA that I can get behind.

Sovereign rights?

I know lots of Americans talk the talk when it cones to states rights. But how do you feel about treaties signed with Indian Tribes guarenteeing their sovereignty? (What rights should they have? Where do you draw the line? - when this is happening: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_58c20238e4b0d1078ca597af )

Concerning Turkish Strategy: The Ottoman Empire

Concerning Turkish strategy and tactics, the historical endeavours of the Ottoman Empire during the Great War can be considered. Like the other Great Powers, Turkey has many fronts to consider—the Caucasus, Balkan, and Mediterranean fronts. Each front must be considered and analyzed before pursuing a campaign . . .

Trumpcare - costs will be lower for everyone

MSM keeps failing to note that Trumpcare lowers the cost of healthcare for everyone by lowering PREMIUMS while reducing BENEFITS. If nothing is covered, then Republicans can lower premiums drastically, but that doesn't really solve the problem of healthcare does it?

Vacation

So I'm taking a week off at the end of summer and am going on my first solo vacation. I've gone on several vacations with my family, but I like the idea of going somewhere alone where I can do whatever I want for a week. Looking for suggestions on destinations for a week (not a resort - something more adventurous)

Trumpcare predictions?

I predict that Ryan's bill will fail and that Trump will continue to sabotage Obamacare by excusing penalty payments until Obamacare fails. Once Obamacare fails, there's no need to repeal it. Trump will just blame the Democrats for "failed Obamacare" and for failing to work with him on a plan to save it.

Should Trump's EPA be allowed to override state's clean air rules?

Looks like Scott Pruitt wants to gut California's clean emission standards. I'm confused, weren't the states supposed to know for themselves what was best? Why is fed government getting involved in a state's right to set its own standard?

The Onion.

AleBelly (100 )

In order of amount of information I get from these sources: NPR, BBC, New York Times, Fox News, The Economist

Ogion (3817 )

No prizes for guessing that the NYT, SF Chronicle, Washington Post, NPR and The Guardian are In heavy rotation. Also, slate and salon, medium and The Intercept.

Ogion (3817 )
11 Mar 17 UTC

Yes, the economist too. That's a favorite. So smart and wide in their coverage

TheRealMaestro (190 )
11 Mar 17 UTC

Among English-speaking sources, NHK World, Russia Today, Breitbart and occasionally Al Jazeera, BBC, The Economist, Guardian or other left-learning sources. I generally avoid American media, regardless of political orientation.

@Peregine_Falcon I assumed, apparently in error, that they were based in either London or Jerusalem. I am more interested in the European than American news, and so never realised where the majority of their content was. In any case, it is certainly not a member of the major American conglomerate.

JECE (1322 )

Mostly Spanish and other European media. Notably TVE, El País, AFP, Reuters, France 24 and Euronews.

For U. S. media, I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but TIME Magazine, Democracy Now! and AP come to mind.

JECE (1322 )

It's scary how many of you have mentioned Fox News, Breitbart and the Wall Street Journal . . .

JECE (1322 )

The WSJ is a Murdoch pawn, like Fox News and the New York Post.

goldfinger0303 (3157 )

Yeah but they're good for business news. And most international stuff.

JECE (1322 )

Maybe business news, thought the WSJ has been caught promoting certain business linked to the Murdoch empire. I have not been impressed with their international stuff, though I'm sure some of the reporting must be good.

What is the best way to reduce the amount of disinformation?

Call it fake news or whatever you want, but the dissemination of factually incorrect statements is a disservice to the electorate. We all like the first amendment and free speech, but once you have enough viewers/followers etc, should you be held to a higher standard of accuracy?
