    Check who submitted that. Who else was he going to link to? The "fake news" media outlets like CNN or AP?

    For someone who professes to be so intelligent, you seem to overlook the obvious rather frequently.

    Found the Steves!

    While defending his racist border wall to reporters on Friday, Donald Trump had an inadvertently relatable moment, mixing up Republican white man Kevin McCarthy with other Republican white man Steve Scalise.
    Which prompts the inevitable question: Does Trump think every white man is named Steve? Does he look in the mirror while brushing his teeth at night and say “thank you, Steve”? Does he ignore calls from his sons who are saved in his phone as Steve and Steve Jr.? Is Trump just so, fucking, grateful, for, his Steves?

    "Thank Steven, who art a racist, and hollowed out the Federal Government, and stick it to the liberals. Amen."

      You complain about the links to Breitbart and Fox then respond with one from Jezebel? Maybe you should have chosen "hypokritus" as your handle.

        Jezebel is not so bad when they publish socialist feminists. Unfortunately, it's also a lot of capitalist feminism, which is not feminism at all, and is in fact counterrevolutionary anti-feminism. Much of what Malcolm X had to say about rich blacks very easily applies to rich white women and their sycophants with very little adjustment.

    Check who submitted that.

    Not a matter of who submitted it, a matter of what ed was stupid enough to accept it with sourcing like this and ruin the fine reputation of SoylentNews as an unbiased news aggregation site! We could have had an aristarchus submission with less political bias! Any aristarchus submission!
