The DAPL protesters got some good news yesterday. I seriously doubt this decision will survive Trump's first year in the White House, but at least they got a reprieve.

If cray were here, I'd accuse him of buffing his pip. I guess we'll have to settle for accusing RT of buffing his teeth, eh, NG?

I was having the spacebar problem at AW, but haven't noticed it here so far.

I hate to say it, but in this particular election, I think we were going to get ugly from some faction or another, whoever won. There was a lot of ugly in this campaign season. Yeah, I think it was inevitable either way - we've got extremists on both sides, itching for a fight. For once, I'm glad I live in the boonies. I'm not near any city big enough for protesters to give a shit about.

Can I still loathe and despise you, my mortal enemy? *note for new people perusing the forum: JOKE. It's a joke. Maybe.

While I'm not quite as optimistic as you are about Trump - his choice of staff so far is troubling at best - I do agree that the protests need a better goal than "Grr! Stomp! Not My President!!"
Protest specific policy decisions he makes. Protest specific bills/initiatives/whatever that the new Congress puts forth. Contact your representatives and make sure they know you're watching. But protesting just to protest is useless, and I'm frankly embarrassed at how it's making "my side" look right now.

Under Bannon's rule, Breitbart turned into a platform for the alt-right, and started spewing anti-Semitic, white nationalist crap. That's why he's worrying to me.

The media has been losing credibility since long before this election -- we've had "lamestream media" and "Faux News" for quite awhile now.
But yeah - they've definitely taken a bigger dent over this. Especially the outlets *cough* HuffPo *cough* that were giving Hillary a ludicrous 99% chance of winning.

I just want...the news. I don't want it filtered for my predispositions. Nobody wants news filtered for your predispositions. *shudder*

I hope that, too. Fervently.
