“One of the first things I’m going to do is get rid of the executive order that Obama says, ‘Just come on in through our southern border,’” Trump replied.
“Now, we’ve had some pretty good luck in court, which is interesting because that’s unusual, and they’ve done a good job on that,” Trump added. “But I would end the court case. I will knock out that executive order so fast your head will spin.”

Palin Compares Republican Congress To Wife-Beaters And Tea Party To ‘Battered Wife’
Following the $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill passing with bipartisan support on Friday, half-term Governor of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin wrote, “The GOP establishment in Congress is our abuser.” Palin compared tea partiers to the abused while likening the GOP to wife-beaters. http://freakoutnation.com/2015/12/sarah-palin-compares-gop-to-wife-beaters-and-the-tea-party-to-their-battered-wife/
“They did it again. But like a battered wife, we keep going back because every four years they bring us flowers, beg our forgiveness, and swear they’ll never hit us again,” Palin wrote dramatically in an op-ed in Breitbart on Saturday.
“The GOP establishment in Congress is our abuser, we can’t hide the black eyes any more. The whole neighborhood knows. The Democrats are gloating. Obama thanked Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) effusively – and why shouldn’t he? Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) couldn’t have given him more.”
Palin called Republicans “Obama’s accomplices.”
The former reality star continued…”

Death Rates Rising for Middle-Aged White Americans, Study Finds
White men with no completed higher education have…“lost the narrative of their lives.” – Angus Deaton
That finding was reported Monday by two Princeton economists, Angus Deaton, who last month won the 2015 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science, and Anne Case. Analyzing health and mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and from other sources, they concluded that rising annual death rates among this group are being driven not by the big killers like heart disease and diabetes but by an epidemic of suicides and afflictions stemming from substance abuse:alcoholic liver disease and overdoses of heroin and prescription opioids.”

Strangulation Hating GOPer Guilty of more i.e. assault and unlawful imprisonment
Former ‘Opie and Anthony’ shock jock Anthony Cumia arrested for strangling 26-year-old woman: police
Just like the numerous GOPers, he’s known for making “racially-charged and hate-filled tweets” 🙁
Anthony Cumia, founder of the Opie and Anthony radio show, was arrested over the weekend for allegedly assaulting a 26-year-old woman.
WPIX reported that the shock jock was taken into custody on Sunday after an altercation with the victim at his home in Roslyn Heights, New York.
http://www.rawstory.com/2015/12/former-opie-and-anthony-shock-jock-anthony-cumia-arrested-for-strangling-26-year-old-woman-police/
“Charges included “strangulation, criminal mischief, assault and unlawful imprisonment,” according to the station.
It was not immediately clear if the woman was Cumia’s girlfriend.
Cumia was fired from the show bearing his name in 1998 after pretending to die in a car accident as an April Fool’s Day joke. He was fired by SiriusXM in 2014 for “racially-charged and hate-filled” tweets at a black woman who he claimed assaulted him in Central Park.

The sketch introduces the nine candidates appearing on the stage in Las Vegas — “five who actually have a chance … the rest of you, just wave so your parents know you’re here.” The segment lampoons former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s obvious desperation and his repeated attacks on front-runner Donald Trump.
“Wolf, may I take a desperate swing at Donald now?” asks Beck Bennett as Bush, launching into a comedic rendition of one of the most memorable moments of the CNN debate. “He says these offensive things. Then he bullies anyone who challenges him. Well guess what, you can’t insult your way into the presidency.”
“Oh really, jughead,” deadpans Trump, as portrayed by Darrell Hammond. “Because I’m at 43 (percent) and you’re at three. Jeb, you’re a nice guy, but you’re a lightweight, and I know for a fact that you pee sitting down.”
SNL spares none of the GOP presidential candidates. It satirizes Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s likability issues — “I can promise ISIS will hate me. And how do I know? Everyone who knows me hates me.” — and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s numerous debate references to terrorist attacks — “I’d like to answer that with a series of fear-mongering statements.”
Even former Hewlett-Packard Chief Executive Carly Fiorina gets a shot, in a question about Russia’s leader, Vladimir Putin.
“I sold him an HP printer personally, and now he hates my guts,” says faux Fiorina, played by Cecily Strong. “It doesn’t work. It never worked. And when he calls me to complain, I just smile that classic Carly Fiorina smile” (cue toothy grimace).
Previously in the Harry Potter films, Hermione was played by Emma Watson who is white but in her description of the character in her books, her race is not mentioned except perhaps in a vague sense.”

“Ghostbusters with all women? Hermione turned black? Why? Can’t we just leave good casting alone?
…of the Harry Potter books, why has Hermione, a described white character, been cast as black? It makes no sense.

Setnaffa, be sure to read the foundations of cyberpunk… that influenced so much after.
Necromancer… written like beautiful poetry that is a pleasure to read… but which makes following the story more difficult

“but I seem to remember it was about “Evil Corporations””
Hmmm… not evil… just looking out for their own interests… and, with the government marginalized, finding it easier to do so…
…not unlike what corporations are doing now as they marginalize the government with lobbyists and super PACs.
Corporations were not the villains, however. As I recall, it was more of an individual using a cult as a front for gaining control of society through the discovery of a fundamental and universal linguistic construct that allowed low-level access and manipulation of human thinking… allowing the creation of mind viruses spread through language…
…which it not so far from the truth… as we see linguistically-spread self-destructive mind viruses which irrationally overcome clear reason all the time.

“Sir, are you the front end of an ass?”
The stupid man sat there wishing that he hadn’t come, wishing that the clown would go away and pick on someone else. He knew he wasn’t very intelligent, and he knew he would come out of this looking very foolish. But he spoke up. “No,” he said.
“Sir, are you the back end of an ass?” the clown continued.
“No, I’m not,” the stupid man replied.
“Then, sir,” the clown said slowly, letting the audience savor the moment, “you are no end of an ass!”
