Of those, some percentage were bad shots.
Then you say

There is a food crisis in Somalia right frigging now. Does it get the attention in black America as much as police shootings? Which do you think would save more lives? Anyone can do both of course, but I sure ain't seeing the same push.
TLDR. There is always something more concerning going on that deserves more attention. Complaining about X because Y is more important is self serving grandstanding. In my humble opinion.

Can't read the full story (paywall), but this part is already hilarious
One major change under consideration would vet the president’s social media posts through a team of lawyers, who would decide if any needed to be adjusted or curtailed. The idea, said one of Mr. Trump’s advisers, is to create a system so that tweets “don’t go from the president’s mind out to the universe.”

About Gianforte winning despite assaulting a journalist, the media never talks about this, but voters can in fact be 'wrong'.
We need more voter shaming. Yes, Gianforte slammed a The Guardian journalist, who was being 'annoying', and The Guardian is a 'left wing, sophisticated, European media outlet'. So to me it is no surprise that some Gianforte voters love what he did.
In fact, I stand by my position that Trump has a subset of voters who would approve of Trump literally jailing journalists. He might even get approval for torturing journalists. I mean, can we really rule that out, at this point? Trump bragged about sexually assaulting woman, and that won him votes.
The real story is that a segment of the US electorate is deplorable and needs to be educated, or else democracy will fail. That is the real story that needs to be talked about. (despite the Russia investigation and climate change, of course).

Better some clowns to cause a little havoc than a slick crew that oppose my interests! And hell, you said it buddy, sticking it to the Democrat members with his supreme court pick (RIP Garland). I can't think of a better successor to that suave Obama. Everybody's going so crazy and it's absolutely marvelous. He's doing such ludicrous stuff, but not to be outdone, the media sprinkles in three ridiculous accusations for every one solid. I'm trending below 50% agreement with what Trump does, for sure. But the Dems didn't run a Lieberman type, they gave me an unsatisfactory second choice. I'm having some trouble thinking up a likely Dem candidate I'd actually consider better than Trump for my political views. Political churning, at this point, is vastly preferable to a determined push leftward. I guess that is the difference between you and me. If Trump was the Democratic nominee I would have voted Republican despite the ideological differences. Trump is just that bad and it was obvious from his campaign. The difference between you and me is I think America's institutions, or what's worth preserving that's left of them, are resilient enough to last against one knucklehead. To some extent, the left's screwed the goose by investing too heavily in justifying some very bad shit by demonizing Trump. Bad enough to have partisan hacks leaking at every level of the executive, but particularly in the intelligence agencies? Fuck no. Bad enough for reporters to make up stories, lie by omission, ell deceptive half-truths, abandon standards for source vetting? Hell no. In some useful ways and not really to Trump's credit, he's revealed how entitled D.C. feels to undermine rather than personally oppose. Isn't Fox the one that had to retract a story that tried to deflect away from the Trump dumpster fire? Last I checked the vast majority of stories about Trump have been proven, often by Trumps own twitter tirades. Then you probably also believe that Comey was denied funding by Trump, Saudi money went into Ivanka Fund, Spicer hid in hedges from reporters, Rosenstein threatened to resign, the AHCA made rape a pre-existing condition, Mnunchin's bank foreclosed for 27 cents, and Trump threatened to invade Mexico. I wonder if the strategy is to keep a continuing stream of fake news and wake up the next morning not remembering all the retractions to keep people tied down pointing it out. several of those definitely happened, a couple are very likely, a couple are mostly true, and the only one that i'm pretty sure is fake is invading mexico. I guess what you want to be true can be true in this age. To take one of your examples - the fact that the Ivanka-related charity is run by the IMF rather than Ivanka herself does not exactly insulate her from any concerns of corruption. It is just an excuse for you to focus on the media rather than the underlying issue. Lol. It's World Bank's Women Entrepreneurs Fund. I'm pretty impressed that the stories + Show Spoiler + that this is Clinton's foundation accusations redux gets effortlessly switched to some broad corruption charge. I don't know, what exactly do you hate about the world bank? If people you don't like campaign for charitable causes, does it taint the action? Are you kidding? It's exactly like the Clinton situation. In the Clinton situation the Saudi donation was spent on a public library while the Republicans screamed corruption. Neither Trump nor Clinton got a direct cash donation from the Saudis, if Trump thought Clinton was fair game then Ivanka is fair game too.
The Clinton Family Foundation is nothing like the World Bank. Convolute the corruption accusations as you will, this is just another celebrity doing their thing with causes. World Bank is not a Trump enterprise and its women's causes and drives are not Trump-appointed players. It's like Trump hysteria overtakes even charitable organizations and everybody feels obligated to defend fake news because they can't examine Trump objectively. Trump 2018 starting way the hell early, and god knows he needs it.
And for the shitposters, yes if the Saudis gave Trump's Foundation a hundred billion during this trip, I'd have a problem with it. Abuse of office for "Ivanka's Fund" is what they're going for, the twitter of several mainstream journalists, and it just exposes the current.

Giving the Trump Foundation money is literally giving Trump money because Trump has repeatedly been caught double dealing and fined by the IRS for doing so. Making a donation to the Bill Clinton Presidential Library Fund is not giving Hillary money. The World Bank donation is comparable to the Presidential Library donation. Donating to a Clinton Foundation is not comparable to donating to the Trump Foundation because only one of them has been found to be used as a slush fund to help the founder.
I'm disappointed in you Danglars. Not surprised, but still disappointed.

I am going to try one more time in good faith assuming you haven't been able to pin point the contradiction in your post. You called the whole argument silly because groups like blm support American issues and not Somalia in the same way. Then you say people can support whatever they want. So why is it silly if they can and should support what they want and not what someone else has decided is a bigger issue? Then you go on and call it self serving grandstanding. Do you see the issue?

it is a problem indeed. all electorates have that segment of people; and like all people, they hate being called out on their failings, and won't admit to it. and in a democracy, there's always someone willing to say to those things aren't failings in order to win the votes of those people.
the ideal of democracy has enough cachet that it's hard to attack voters for being "wrong" no matter how objectively true it is.

I have nothing against the World Bank, nor against the donation. I am simply drawing attention to Trump's hypocrisy. He's the one who believes that a charitable donation must be judged only by the source, regardless of how the money is spent. I do not.

I will try to put this succinctly as possible. GH was asserting white people complaining about being accused of appropriations are absurd, given the treatment of POC in the US. I contested that people can complain about whatever they want, and that it is normally something that they are or could be personally affected by. And that trying to measure what is ok to complain about on a scale, and putting your concerns above others is grandstanding. I then offered an example 'the famine' as a counter point to say it is a much larger threat to people, ya know, being able to live, than police shootings.
My point was that there is always something that could be conceived as more important, more pressing and more worth talking or addressing. To say that other's concerns shouldn't matter because your concerns are more important being a bad argument is the point. Somehow you are trying to twist that assertion into exactly what I am arguing against.
And I also will be back on topic moving forward.

The leaks moving towards Russian intelligence communications leave me wondering tho in how far this complicates the CIA's job.
Yes a Russian ambassador should know his communications are being monitored but surely they(Russia) would have preferred this info did not become public, so there is a leak/spy somewhere they didn't anticipate.

I wouldn't be too worried considering how much else on the average Chinese restaurant menu is american invented. The second point illustrates how dumb the whole argument is. No one would differentiate between Sicilian and mainland Italian pizza at a pizza store. No one would make a french restaurant that differentiates between the north and south. how many "German food" or "English food" places are there? People from other asian nations call themselves chinese or thai beacuse those are brands that have value.
The issue that makes the whole cultural appropriation issue stupid mainly is that food and culture in general is something that should be shared and mixed with other cultures. Should white people be pissed at bollywood for appropriating white culture? should white people be pissed at kpop and jpop for appropriating white culture? Its just people wanting to be mad at white people for no reason other then they think that pissing off white people will make them give them the things they want for no logical reason.

Straw men? I called reporter's characterizations of this fund as "Ivanka's fund" fake news (it is) and in response I got only movement of goalposts to broad corruption. The world bank announced a fund created to help women entrepreneurs at an Ivanka event and Saudi Arabia/UAE sign on. But left-wing politics is a hostile mistress, so immediately this is the Ivanka Fund. It's immediately hypocrisy to criticize Hillary and the Clinton Foundation (hmm I wonder who chooses the leadership of that one). But, you know, Trump's bad and a hypocrite so we can shape the story as we wish without regard for truth content. He should be grinning from ear to ear to know all his faults get filtered through three false stories for every one true, so he's able to claim all of it is bogus and maybe a third of America will believe it. You're doing a great job helping him out on this.
