CNN host Fareed Zakaria gets profane in uncensored Trump discussion

A bit of a chuckle.  I'm not terribly offended.  I am not reluctant to use a similar level of midl profanity in front of my children.  My reason for that is, I know the kids aren't listening to what I'm telling them to do (or not do). If they tell me later in life about their conversations with therapists over how "daddy had a potty mouth," I can at least take comfort to know that they listened at all.

Quite a few sensible liberals (how dare you chuckle) agree with this, including me. I had to stop talking politics with my own brother after he suggested Trump was instigating a bloodless coup.

I mean jeez, folks. He won the election. We lost badly and we lost to someone who would have been an incredibly poor candidate in many previous elections. We got audio of him talking about grabbing pussies and we STILL lost. A bit of introspection is in order!

There are SO MANY on the left who are just that unhinged.  They can't accept having lost an election, so therefore it must be a "coup"; or the Russians; or awiens.  And to someone who may not be as invested in their ideology as they themselves are, that disinterested observer might be justified in asking if these are the kind of people that should be in charge.  Which is why I say that the best antidote for leftism is more exposure to unfiltered leftists -- the only times in modern memory the left has won is when they've truly tacked rightward (Clinton), or successfully lied with the willing assistance of the mainstream media outlets (Obama - "You can keep your doctor.").

This is EXACTLY what I was saying about Snopes.  In order to avoid simply saying 'Yes, its true, students were forced to apologize for wearing patriotic colors (red, white, blue) when immigrants claimed to be offended by it,' Snopes intentionally muddies the issue in order to give a verdict of "Mixture". 

From Snopes: "WHAT'S FALSE The students opted to issue an apology without being forced or asked to do so"

Here's a hint for Snopes, "free" people being forced to apologize for their patriotism by the (government-run) school administration makes the situation worse, not better.  Snopes seems to think that if the students had come to apologize for showing some patriotism on their own, they would have been 'more enlightened'.

Rachel Maddow is the face of the leftist/progressive Democrats.  She is the ALT LEFT, and another reason why so many voted for Trump.  She is, nor never will be mainstream, and an embarrassment.

My thoughts exactly.  I see the left doubling down on everything that cost them the election and it might as well have a chyron on the bottom of the screen saying "Brought to you by the Committee to Reelect Trump 2020".

Sooo, the suspicious side of me is wondering if email providers are all free or are some fee-for-service?

Both.

I have an email account (and a handful of aliases -- effectively additional accounts -- for spouse, kids, etc.) through my broadband ISP (cable company).  I certainly pay for those, as part of the bundle included with broadband service. 

When I moved states a few years ago, I learned that when my account with that cable company is closed, those e-mail addresses expire immediately. I was hoping I could get 6 mos. or a year of forwarding to a new address, either as a courtesy or for a nominal fee -- like USPS mail forwarding.  The cable company doesn't offer that service at any price.  So in order to preserve continuity, I migrated to a Gmail account.  That address stays the same no matter which ISP I use.  I don't pay for that Gmail account, but Google has access to the content of those emails and also the metadata (header information like to: and cc:, bcc:) to target advertising to me and the people I trade emails with.  That's the bargain to get the Gmail for "free". 

I also have a business domain that I host with Google and purchase email service on that domain from them.  The suite of services that most people get from Google for free (e-mail; calendar; cloud storage) I pay $5 a month to have attached to my professional domain address.  Needless to say, Google is data-mining that stream as well, but I get the benefit of NOT having "@Gmail.com" on my business correspondence.

Hope that helps.

How many times have I said that leftism is nothing more than a case study in psychological projection? (At least 3 since October, if the search function is to be believed  )

Hmmmm.  Do tell. 

There was published news media about it.  No point digging up the guy's corpse to kick it.
