Conservatives in many countries have realized that since their political program serves the few at the expense of the many, it is inherently revolting to most people, so they can only win support by deceit and distraction.

The caps lock key is in a fairly obscure position.

I really don't understand your use of "far left" here.

My comment was just advising people to be media-literate and consider the source, though I also said that this in itself doesn't make the article questionable (I actually think it's quite credible). And I linked to Wikipedia's article about this news website. I wasn't trying to defend Israel or be controversial, and it was a bit of a surprise to see this get deleted.

Shukran Karisa Mangi always showed up drunk at work, where he dug up the bodies of doomsday cult members buried in shallow graves. But the alcohol couldn’t numb his shock the morning he found the body of a close friend, whose neck had been twisted so severely that his head and torso faced opposite directions.

This violent death upset Mangi, who had already unearthed children’s bodies. The number of bodies kept rising in this community off Kenya’s coastline where extremist evangelical leader Paul Mackenzie is accused of instructing his followers to starve to death for the opportunity to meet Jesus.

In one of the deadliest cult-related massacres ever, at least 436 bodies have been recovered since police raided Good News International Church in a forest some 70 kilometers (40 miles) inland from the coastal town of Malindi. Seventeen months later, many in the area are still shaken by what happened despite repeated warnings about the church’s leader.

Funny how "weird" bothers them more than, say, "rapist".

The problem with the US system seems to be that it's partisan all the way down. It's too easy for the parties standing for election to influence how the election itself is run and counted. This is, I guess, an effect of the USA's highly decentralized approach to elections: if the Republicans run a county, they get to decide how elections work in that county. A more centralized system wouldn't leave the same scope for tweaking each local election to get the desired result in that locality.

I've not heard it called that before.

Oh if only he had the power he craves, this journalist would be in a camp for making him feel uncomfortable. Nasty little angry fascist.

Do SSDs do that automatically in the background, or is all the data I'm not actively refreshing gradually rotting away?

This may shock readers of the Washington Examiner, but it's a plus for him in my book.
