      • While funny, that post belongs in the fake news thread.

          • As it was already mentioned in the celebrity dead pool:
            John McCain, probably the last (or at least one of the few) GOP-Senator who hadn't become a pure Trump-tool is dead

            Guess that means free champagne for everyone in the white house and a big party
            I hope McCains family honors his wish to not have Trump take part in the funeral

              Gee... banned from Babs Bush funeral, now not allowed at McCain's funeral... I wonder how FOXNews will explain this to the faithful?

          • John McCain didn't want that scumbag at his funeral. McCain, despite any differences I had with him politically, sacrificed and fought for this country. The orange fungus never did.

              • The difference between the condolence tweets of Trump, Obama and Joe Biden is quite striking:

                  What a remarkable life. What a contrast to politicians who love to talk about "the people", but care mostly about their own interests/positions. RIP.

                    More on Turkey's economic crash. They want to achieve high growth but go about it the wrong way... and it seems to be a repeating problem.

                    Rather crazy pictures. Erdogan brought this on himself.

                    I've tried digging up some approval ratings on Erdogan... and it looks like his support is eroding. Maybe people are feeling the crisis.

                    A new public opinion poll conducted by the MetroPOLL research company has revealed that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s job approval rating is 49.8 percent, while 42.1 percent of the country does not approve of the job he’s doing. In the survey, titled “Turkey’s Pulse March 2018,” 8.1 percent of respondents left the question about […]

                      Jacksonville shooting: Several killed at video game tournament
                      Several people have been killed in a mass shooting at an entertainment complex in Jacksonville, Florida, police say.

                      The sheriff's office said on Twitter that many people had been wounded and urged people to avoid the area.

                      They said a suspect was dead at the scene.

                      Reports suggest the shooting happened during a video game tournament being held at the Jacksonville Landing.

                      Dozens of shots can be heard in a video that appears to show the event being streamed online on the Twitch platform.

                      The players were playing the American football game Madden at the time.
                      The participant at a tournament in Jacksonville opens fire before shooting himself.

                        Someone took a knee during the anthem. The shooter was just fulfilling Trump's will.

                        ...
                        Actually I am sure there will be action:
                        The shooting took place in a videogame tournament.

                        That clearly shows that Egoshooters promote mass shootings.
                        Time to ban Egoshooters (and possibly other videogames) in order to prevent further mass shootings
