  What is your opinion of the news media?

  to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.

  most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.

  Minimus interesting how you bring this up the day after his diatribe. What Trump is doing is trying to undermine the media so his utter failures are viewed as at least better then the media. A typical bully tactic.

  I for one reject the cynical conspiracy nonsense eminating from the thugs currently in power. Let's remember where this whole thing is coming from. Bannon.

  Last Week Tonight's John Oliver summed up well what is currently happening with this fake news turning into real news for many people. This attack on the media is a key example of it.

  Free I just stated that i think all media should be taken with a grain of salt and that I don't need them to see how crazy he is. Do I think they should improve? Yes I do. Do I think their bullies? No I don't.

  Complaints highlighting errors in reporting is not the executive offices job.

  The media is a profit driven enterprise as it should be. State controlled is totalitarian. All news in my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt. My problem with Trump is not what the news says about him. It's what comes out of his own mouth and his tweets.

  He is unhinged. I have not nor will I ever support him. I believe that normalizing his behaviour as we have done is damaging to our democracy. Praising the behavior is unconscionable to me.

  Let's remember folks who has the guns and nukes. Hint hint it's not the press. A bully beating up other bullies. What utter nonsense. Last I checked the press couldn't throw you in jail or kill you. Damn can we get some perspective here.

  Just the word redistribution is what concerns me. It's a bad word on the right.

  Bohm I agree that the point you made about AI taking our jobs and not killing us in the near future is the most likely in the near future. My fear with that are the social ramifications. In other words unless we start really talking about this in real world scenarios now we may end up killing ourselves off when we don't have productive work for the masses.

  I worry we may not be able to evolve quickly enough to keep up with the sea changes this technology brings. Current events make me worry even more.

  Trump Voters, Is This What You Voted For?

  by Village Idiot in

  all that talk about hillary clinton's unsecured e-mails?

  read the following:.

  "deagazio posted additional photos from the weekend, including one of his dining companions kissing trump on the cheek, a selfie with white house strategist steve bannon and another selfie identifying a man named rick who he says is responsible for carrying the nuclear “football,” which allows the president to authorize a nuclear attack while away from the white house.. "“this is rick,” wrote deagazio.

  VI there's no point in arguing this with Simon. It has become clear that all he cares to do is attack anyone that mentions anything negative about the dear leader.

  He continually puts up straw man arguments and false equivalencies. Claiming people are saying things where they clearly have not. According to Simon anyone that speaks ill of the Trump is a loony leftist.

  What the hell happened to you Simon?

  The middle of the country. Where freedom reigns as long as you're a young earth fundamentalist Christian.

  Infinity versus nothing

  by Fisherman in

  some people like to believe in something others believe in nothing; so in what location did the substance that expanded into the time/space universe exist before the big bang?

  where did the energy that caused the big band come from?

  how did the substance that became the big bang change from being inert and sterile and come to life to having the properties and drive that it does?

  Simple - I don't know. Why don't you try it sometime Fisherman.

  Typical god of the gaps nonsense!
