Trump!

Not to forget a government study into terrorism (included in the article) shows that right wingers commit more domestic terrorism attacks than those committed by Islamist or Left Wing factions.

Unlike that map that shows the obvious - crime happens in populated areas, this shows who commits attacks.

Trump supporters have gone full-on cult. It is officially impossible to satire them now.

Trump supporters made a religious movie worshipping Trump as being a messenger sent by God.

I wish I was joking. Imagine the right's reaction if a film about Obama was made like this. Making a biopic in a positive light, okay considering Trump that's weird but okay... but, a religious film? That screams cult-like.

I get the nasty feeling that we are gonna have our own amuuurican version of the tutsis versus the hutus.

And when the right screw up, the left is blamed.

Shale country is out of workers. That means $140,000 for a truck driver and 100% pay hikes

Jerry Morales, the mayor of Midland, Texas, and a local restaurateur, is being whipsawed by the latest Permian Basin shale-oil boom.

It’s fueling the region and starving it at the same time. Sales-tax revenue is hitting a record high, allowing the city to get around to fixing busted roads. But the crazy-low 2.1% unemployment rate is a bear.

As the proprietor of Mulberry Cafe and Gerardo’s Casita, Morales is working hard to retain cooks. As a Republican first elected in 2014, he oversees a government payroll 200 employees short of what it needs to fully function.

“This economy is on fire,” he said from a back table at the cafe the other day, watching as the lunchtime crowd lined up for the Asian Zing Salad and Big Mo’s Toaster hamburger.

Fire, of course, can be dangerous. In the country’s busiest oil patch, where the rig count has climbed by nearly one-third in the past year, drillers, service providers and trucking companies have been poaching in all corners, recruiting everyone from police officers to grocery clerks. So many bus drivers with the Ector County Independent School District in nearby Odessa quit for the shale fields that kids were sometimes late to class. The George W. Bush Childhood Home, a museum in Midland dedicated to the 43rd U.S. president, is smarting from a volunteer shortage.

The oil industry has such a ferocious appetite for workers that it’ll hire just about anyone with the most basic skills.

“It is crazy,” said Jazmin Jimenez, 24, who zipped through a two-week training program at New Mexico Junior College in Hobbs, about 100 miles north of Midland, and was hired by Chevron Corp. as a well-pump checker. “Honestly I never thought I’d see myself at an oilfield company. But now that I’m here -- I think this is it.”

That’s understandable, considering the $28-a-hour she makes is double what she was earning until December as a guard at the Lea County Correctional Facility in Hobbs. But when the boom goes bust, as history suggests they all do, shale-extraction businesses won’t be able to out-pay most employers anymore. Jimenez said she’ll take the money as long as it lasts.

shale bustin' ain't without long-term environmental hazards which will haunt both the living and the not-yet-born.

Protests were pretty organized

That's the "giant" balloon looming over London? And they needed a permit for that? LOL.

“I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London” - Trump

Well, no matter the size of the balloon it clearly triggered Trump and many of his supporters, lol. Maybe it’s just that, compared to Trump’s tiny hands, it seemed massive.

instead of a trumpalloon, it shoulda been a giant floating specimen cup with his name on it.

It caused an earthquake outbreak here and some people now have water that is flammable.It has to be the worst energy source ever.

the business school grads would just say in their coldly antiseptic way, that it is just "externalizing costs." that is all we are to that crowd, something for them to piss on.

They should all be rendered down and made into biofuel.

that is too GD good for 'em! make 'em take off their shoes and chain 'em to a treadmill in a workhouse like they wanna do to us. then work them to a pulp.

allow enough time, and it is a given.

The utterly bogus fake-news-media strikes again. They don't just have zero credibility -- they have negative credibility. It's safe to assume that the truth is exactly the opposite of what they say.

WRONG: Reporter Deletes Tweet Claiming Russian Spy Was in Oval Office with Trump

Talk about getting it wrong. There are mistakes, and then there are mistakes, and this is the latter. On Monday, a woman, Maria Butina, was arrested and charged, federal agents saying she worked as a “foreign agent” who conspired to set up private communications between the Russian government and Republican politicians in the United States.

It would be a pretty big deal if it turned out there was a photo of that Russian agent in the White House, and an even bigger deal if it were the Oval Office with President Donald Trump, and a huge red siren big deal if she were in the Oval Office on the very week former FBI Director James Comey was fired.

And that’s exactly what Mic reporter Emily Singer reported on Twitter on Tuesday. Only she was flat wrong.

The person the reporter identified as a "Russian agent" was actually a White House staff member. But hey, she was a red head, and all red heads look alike -- close enough for the media anyway.
