What Is A Coffee Enema? Goop Is Facing Backlash For Linking To This Potentially Dangerous Cleanse

Folks, we're saying "Merry Christmas" again. To our wonderful Orthodox Christians, it's Christmas now. Or around now. Sunday. Let's celebrate the miracle of Christmas again! Let's remember the story of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph that began more than 2,000 years ago. As the book of Isaiah tells us, for to us a child is born, to us a son is given and the government will be on his shoulders and he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. This good news is the greatest Christmas gift of all, the reason for our joy and the true source of our hope. I am proud to have led the charge against the assault of our cherished and beautiful phrase. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Also, our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Prophet Monson, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His message was one of optimism, forgiveness, and faith. pic.twitter.com/0VjzLEeHTl

Everybody who has stocks should be thanking me. Because our Dow 30 hit a beautiful 25,000 today. Just like I said it would. If the Dems (Crooked Hillary) got elected, your stocks would be down 50% from values on Election Day. Now they have a great future -- and just beginning! We're going to grab and grab and grab the money. 💰 Grab and grab and grab for America! We’re going to bring in so much money and so much everything. We’re going to Make America Great Again, folks.🇺🇸

Donald Trump Didn’t Want to Be President (long excerpt)

Trump Bannon row: Lawyers seek to halt book's release

Read the excerpt at New York Magazine. It seems entirely believable.

Being upset with a post because you don't agree with it or because you make it mad does not automatically make it offtopic or redundant. There are flamebait, troll, and overrated moderations for that purpose that serve that purpose. The reason for mis-moderating something is being so upset about a posts content that you want to hide it and have people ignore the post, and I think readers are much more likely to ignore offtopic and redundant than they are the other three.

Maybe instead of just getting mad and trying to hide a post you disagree with you can post a rebuttal and let the ideas stand on their own, eventually one or the other will be moderated up and you know the idea the community favors more (or rather that the percentage of the community that moderates favors). I imagine if people stopped overusing flamebait/troll/overrated we might again get to a point where I can ignore those posts because I can assume they weren't just moderated down because of partisan bullshit.

Hell even if you disagree with someone if they make a good point there is no reason to not moderate them according to that posts merit.

I don't mind being moderated troll, flamebait, or getting an overrated. What I mind is the misapplication of moderation types to push an agenda. A troll post is a troll post, a flamebait is a flamebait, a offtopic post is an offtopic post, and a redundant post should be moderated redundant.

Gretchen Carlson named chair of Miss America organization

Former Fox News Channel anchor and 1989 Miss America Gretchen Carlson was named chairwoman of the Miss America Organization's board of directors Monday, and three other past pageant winners will join her on the board.

The new leadership comes less than two weeks after leaked emails surfaced showing CEO Sam Haskell and others disparaging the appearance, intellect and sex lives of former Miss Americas. Haskell resigned Dec. 23, along with two other top leaders.

The selection of Carlson marks the first time a former pageant winner has served as the leader of the nearly 100-year-old organization. The organization also announced the appointments of three other past Miss Americas: 2012 winner Laura Kaeppeler Fleiss, 2000 winner Heather French Henry and Kate Shindle, who won in 1998 and now serves as president of the Actors' Equity Association. Their appointments take effect immediately, as does Carlson's.

Thoughts & prayers with all who are suffering today because of alcohol & drug abuse! Those who were killed or badly hurt in the many, many accidents our drivers always have around New Year's Eve, those in their families, and those who are addicted and just can't control themselves.

Also, thoughts & prayers with the wonderful people of Iran, who have suffered far too long under their TERRIBLE government. Especially, thoughts & prayers with the ones who are exercising their precious, precious right to protest. We are with you!

I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim this the year 2018. Except in Saipan and Guam. Maybe, probably, in Saipan and Guam, I think they have to wait a little. And maybe Little Rocket Man will send them a special firework. He's very foolish if he does. Very foolish. Because I will rain down fire & fury on him like nobody's business. Like nothing this world has ever seen. And it's seen a lot, hasn't it? Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they're going to be a joke. People will laugh about them after I do what I'm going to do to North Korea.

It's going to be a fantastic year, folks. 2016 was a good year. You elected me, overwhelmingly. 2017 was better. Because I started Making America Great Again. But 2018 is going to be amazing! We're starting to get our Supreme Court in shape, we have the tremendous Neil Gorsuch in there, we passed our beautiful Tax Cut, it's going to be a full year of Making America Great. Starting now. Merry Christmas! Maybe, probably, I'm the first guy to wish you a Merry Christmas for 2018. Which is sad. We don't say MERRY CHRISTMAS enough, folks. Not nearly enough. There's a war on Christmas, it's very sad. Wish somebody Merry Christmas today. And every day. And tell them to thank me. They should be thanking me. For signing the most massive Tax Cut this world has ever seen. So every day is like Christmas. I'm giving you a big gift every day, a big Tax Cut. Which is making our economy EXPLODE! And, folks, you should thank our guys in Congress, they worked on that for years. For years. Not the Dems, where were the Dems? Where were Chuck & Nancy? Empty seats, folks! No ideas, they do nothing but obstruct. And they'd love to raise taxes. DISGRACEFUL! No thanks to them, this is going to be the best year ever. Very money! 🍾 🎉 💰

Summary:

Pressing "cancel" when prompted to log in to iTunes Store must be done repeatedly.

Steps to Reproduce:

Change your Apple ID password then use your iPhone for a while. Eventually you will be prompted to log in to iTunes Store.

Tap "Cancel".

The dialog disappears briefly then immediately reappears.

Sometimes tapping "Cancel" a second time causes the dialog to disappear for just a few minutes but it will inevitably reappear, just about always in pairs.

Expected Results:

iTunes Store login prompt will never reappear after I tap cancel just once.

Actual Results:

The login prompt doesn't believe that "No Means No" and perpetually bothers me when I'm trying to use my device.
