"I don't know what you are talking about, these products were tested in our moon factories and found to be totally structurally stable."
 
Re: In today's news...

Another one bites the dust though this is in regards to a relative of a celebrity who recently passed
Woah, didn't notice Zsa Zsa Gabor passed recently, just a few months shy of turning 100, in related news her adopted son just passed away today. May they both Rest in Peace.

And, in more news
Netanyahu forgot to take his pills again

Declares that New Zealand wants war with Israel, somehow



And released a whole lot of documents on Yemeni children being abducted and sold to Israeli families. The Yemeni families were told the child died, but given no proof, often at birth.
(Jerusalem Post)
According to the statement, this was made public because the families have a right to know what happened.

Somewhat positive news among it, at least.
 
Re: In today's news...

Speaking of...

Space mom's mom follows suit a single day later.

Yep. Debbie Reynolds, lgbt advocate (especially during the aids crisis), Singing in the Rain star, and all around glorious lady.

Ugh. Her son, Todd, said her last words were "I want to be with Carrie"

Just heard of it myself. Clearly my fingers aren't raised high enough yet to get over my frustration at this year.

Yeah... I clicked that link hoping for some... well pretty gruesome stuff.

I get a video of some girl's face, they eventually cut the sleeve of this guys shirt aaaaaaaaand it's back to her face. I'm tired of looking at this girl so I skip through the video, and it's 90% dipshit's face. I am not amuse.


Is that the torture of this video? The viewer is tortured? I didn't have the sound on, but I assume she's saying something retarded.
 
Re: In today's news...

I didn't check the video myself, since I have no interest in torture, but apparently it was a sadistic narcissist recording it

She is saying a whole lot of racial slurs about white people, and hating on Trump and white people in general, apparently

Either way, it's fucked

If some blacks are going to go full retard and beat up on a helpless man over voting choices, then that just ensures some people that they were right for voting Trump even if it was for all the wrong reasons.

Edit: I looked up some news outlets, all were captured and it's being treated as a hate crime. 3 of them are still teenagers (each 18 years old), what a damn shame.

You hoped for some gruesome stuff? I feel like that really shouldn't be your motivation in watching such a thing. I didn't watch because I didn't want to see it, but apparently between a beating spread over 30 minutes, including threatening and cutting with a knife, they also cut a small square out of his scalp. They forced him to say stuff under threat of pain. The guy has supposedly been pretty damn traumatised by the ordeal.
 
Re: In today's news...

Hey now, when I'm promised a snuff film I wanna see a snuff film! Not because I particularly enjoy snuff films, but because I was promised something.

Really, how fucking stupid do you have to be? The towel-heads get it right all the time! Stop pointing the camera at yourself, and get it on the victim! Violence, blood, gore these are the things that get your message across! Not your ugly face!

I'll believe you that there's some violence going on, but I'm not spending more time than I already have looking at that dipshit's face. When someone's edited it down to being what I was promised I'll give it another go.

It does not prove that voting for Trump was right (reasons be damned). To me, though... this is simply another piece of evidence that there are real IDIOTS in the extreme left and the extreme right.

I should note that while President-Elect Trump sometimes praised his more... enthusiastic (read: violent) supporters, offering to pay their legal expenses, President Obama immediately referred to this recent incident as " " Regardless of your feelings about ABC as a news source, that's a direct quote.

Trump and Obama are in many ways polar opposites, and while I can sympathize with some conservative stances on certain issues, I must absolutely express my admiration for Obama's consistency here. It doesn't matter if the victim was attacked for being conservative or liberal--President Obama still expressed his disapproval of such a barbaric set of actions taken against anyone, regardless of political motivations.
 
Re: In today's news...

Wonder if it'll be an official 'hate crime'? I mean, their choice of target was obviously racially motivated.
