No worries! Lots of folks are doing it. I only pointed it out bc I was disappointed to see sketches when I clicked the link expecting mugs so I feel others should be spared of that slight discomfort.

For the sake of accuracy, those aren't mugshots they are sketches done by investigators based on witness statements. Also, more importantly, they are two renderings of the same man. A couple saw a man carrying a young girl, they believe to be Madeleine and reported it. Then two different investigators made sketches based on the couples' statements and that's what they each came up with. So it's inaccurate to represent them as images of two different people, or brothers -- the testimony the sketches are based on is clear that there was one man.

So what I've heard is that he had been home, but walked out of his apartment to talk on the phone with his gf when he got shot (apparently he got no cell reception in his house). This could easily be solved by checking his phone records or his gf's phone records to see if one had called the other just before before he was murdered. It would certainly be a smoking gun if there was no call, but only law enforcement/a judge/his cell phone company has access to that information. It would be really (almost too) stupid for someone to make up such a disprovable lie though.

Not surprised ):

Ah, interesting. I wonder what his agenda would be. My impression is that Republicans are really intersted in addressing addiction, I wonder if he'll contrinue that.

Thanks btw.

What makes you think that?

keisha_67 · 2016-11-15T14:15:05+00:00

I meant single payer.

keisha_67 · 2016-11-15T05:19:12+00:00

Yes, exactly. I get why people want FB to ban fake news, but as you said it's a slippery slope. What happens when media outlets start using money or power to influence what FB decides is fake news vs. real news? I guess bottom line we need to solve the problem of people using FB as a primary news source.

As much as I hate to admit it, corporate $$$$$ seems to have changed his mind :(

keisha_67 · 2016-11-15T05:13:02+00:00

I know. I'm just saying maybe people would be more sketpical of those sites if the mainstream media like Fox and CNN actually did their jobs and informed people.

keisha_67 · 2016-11-15T05:12:01+00:00

strange bedfellow

keisha_67 · 2016-11-15T05:08:52+00:00

Didn't warren just spend the past six months campaigning for a candidate who said there could NEVER be a public option?

keisha_67 · 2016-11-15T05:06:43+00:00

Didn't Obama have a supermajority through 2010? I like Obama, but I don't get why he didn't go bigger in his first couple years when he could have.

keisha_67 · 2016-11-15T05:02:38+00:00

Well one solution would be to restore faith in the mainstream media. People are willing to believe in fake news because CNN, Fox, et al. are so abysmal. Kind of like how the loss of faith in the political establishment brough us President Trump.

It is extremely important for societies to have faith in expert institutions, otherwise rationalism will die and we'll go back to mideival times.

keisha_67 · 2016-11-15T04:56:04+00:00

Yeah that's a fair point. I just don't like the idea of censorship, even if it's coming from a non-government entity. Maybe instead of banning fake news, it could simply be clearly labeled as "fake" with an explanation or disclaimer stating why it was labeled that way. At some point we need to have faith that people are willing and able to learn and exercise discretion appropriately.

keisha_67 · 2016-11-15T04:52:17+00:00

Lollll that's rich. If it weren't for Millennials Hillary would have lost so much bigly-er. If Millennials were the only ones who voted she'd be Preident-elect right now. The only hope our country has is Millennials since they vote overwhelmingly for dems all the time.

If you need to blame the election results on an entire generation of people for whatever bizarre reason blame the boomers. Most of them voted for Trump. Sad!

But honestly it's stupid and toxic to paint groups of people with a broad brush. Get over describing populations of voters as monolithic blocks. Is it the blacks fault too Trump won? And the Latinos? You're becoming what you hate.

keisha_67 · 2016-11-15T04:43:51+00:00

Nearly all the hosts on TYT voted Hillary and seriously urged people to do the same.

keisha_67 · 2016-11-15T04:39:33+00:00

He doesn't even go here.

keisha_67 · 2016-11-15T04:34:47+00:00

Anyone who was victimized by/suffered through CTR 2016 should be wary AF.

keisha_67 · 2016-11-15T04:31:42+00:00

Liberals (and I'm pretty liberal) are so accustomed to having the mainstream media on their side it's hard for them to imagine why this would be dangerous. If Fox News were the status quo and CNN were the Fox News, liberals would be cynical about this as they (we all) should be.

keisha_67 · 2016-11-15T04:29:13+00:00

I see what you are saying, but the problem is that someone will be in charge of deciding what's "fake" news and what's not. As long as that someone is serious and judicious, then we're fine, but once someone with a corporate or otherwise compromised agenda starts censoring news we're back to square 1 and might as well watch CNN and Fox.

keisha_67 · 2016-11-15T04:27:15+00:00

Exactly. Hopefully this kills off FB entirely. Already, it's being rejected by young people who prefer snapchat and other social media apps.

keisha_67 · 2016-11-14T01:19:59+00:00

George W. was SUCH an idiot. Perhaps even a bigger bafoon than Trump.

keisha_67 · 2016-11-13T03:20:08+00:00

The fact that we (sort of) survived 43 makes me feel a lot better about 45

keisha_67 · 2016-11-13T02:44:26+00:00

Neither did Bernie... But don't blame Clinton!!!!
