How Facebook's tentacles reach further than you think

CNN introduces new definition of suspicious activity: Dating Russians

Every traveler knows CNN and dodgy shower curtains in small hotels are certainties that can't be avoided, like death and taxes. If you can endure a few minutes of US cable news since Donald Trump became President, you may notice the network now boasts an in-house Russia-basher.

In fairness, from the article:

Not to defend Murka, but it's hardly their fault if the retards from ISIS rig the building to blow.

Good point. Yet it's still a perpetual cycle of violence which leads to more and more refugees.

I don't think Holla Forums cares if 100 brown people die. The truth is, as long as there are no mass casualty attacks in the US or large losses of troops, nobody in the US really cares about what the US does abroad.

They should wear babies as body armour, it's best way to get sympathy in the west.

What kind of a shield is placed within the building? Or do you think their goal is for people to feel bad for them?

muthafukin muslamic terrorists deserved it.

I'm saying get the fuck out of there, lad.

lol

2018 isn't looking so hot for the Republicans.

America will get Democrats again and liberals will rejoice (in part rightfully so) and the cycle will continue.

It's true; we don't. That doesn't mean we actively applaud it, though. We are perfectly aware of 🍀🍀🍀who🍀🍀🍀 instigated the invasion of Iraq in the first place, and for what reason. We can't have a secular Arab state next door to Our Greatest Ally now, can we? :^)

Quist was a progressive Democrat though. Like with Jon Ossoff, the DNC didn't help him for jack.

...

Looks like socdems need their own "dual power" eh?

This is a good prank.

105 civilian deaths in built up urban warfare is pretty minimal. that many people could've easily died from collateral had the airstrike not taken place.

22 civilian deaths in built up urban warfare is pretty minimal. that many people could've easily died from collateral had the bombing not taken place.

I don't understand the comparison, but I agree. 22 deaths would certainly be better than 105.

I was pointing out that dropping a bomb on 105 civilians is a terrorist attack, just like the Manchester bombing. Dismissing that as "collateral" is monstrous.

Yeah but we had good intentions :^)

Oh, right, I forgot there was profit at stake. Please accept my most humble apologies, Mr. Porky Sir.

What's the answer to the Fenian question?

The same as to every other question. :)

you underestimate how retarded democrats are.

...

we are the dead


too obvious

Another day, another pile of dead civilians.

True. Judging from recent history, the Democrats will probably flush this opportunity down the toilet by starting another fight with the progressive wing.

President manchild is at it again

WTF??? I LOVE TRUMP NOW!

So much for the tolerant right…

Mass casualty events among fashies when?

Fucking. Pigs.

are you retarded? How would you go about capturing Mosul? it is unavoidable reality that civilians are going to die in the process of eliminating the enemy presence from a city.

This dude is a real fucking piece of shit.

The real atrocity here is his fashion sense.

Witnesses: Man Cut the Throats of Two MAX Passengers Who Tried to Stop Anti-Muslim Bullying of Women on Northeast Portland Train
Witnesses told KATU’s Joe Douglass the stabbing suspect was hurling racial insults at two women with dark skin, one of whom was wearing a headdress. Two men who came to the woman’s defense had their throats slashed by the suspect, witnesses said.

Early voting dumbfuck
2/3 were early voting before he went on his chimpanzee mindset

LOL.
The dude was just being ironic and contrarian just like Holla Forums, nothing serious, just throwing some bantz and trolling lol, also he just killed two men nothing serious, it's just like some bantz to trigger people man XD.
Why does this even made the news? people need to chill and realize it's just trolling yo XD.

Love you

Kek. Imagine being such a whiteknighting cuck that you defend a muslim shitskin woman with your life

Isn't that the point of your type?

...

The Holla Forums thread on this is hilarious. Everyone kept saying he had to be Black or Latin then they change the narrative once they find out he was white by saying he was a psycho because he said "nigger" at some rally.

>>>Holla Forums9985136

SO MUCH FOR THE LAW-ABIDING RIGHT

baby steps
itsgoingdown.org/alt-right-proud-boy-gets-warm-welcome-from-chicago-antifa/

that doesn't even make sense acccording to Holla Forums logic because they say nigger all the time.
Why are Holla Forumsacks so cowardly that they talk about muh nazi masturbation fantasy all the time but keep making excuses when people actually go out and do violence?

Nice

lol, reading IGD is pretty funny. Sounds like liberalism with black flags.
