Can someone talk English please?

Scherzkeks only speaks jargon which he thinks sounds impressive. Sometimes it's like listening to a parrot that's been left in a weird meeting of psychologists, management consultants and Melvynn Bragg.

I always thought you needed at least 2 people for a spat.

I've edited the typo. I sometimes forget that many of our SJWs are still young and expanding their vocabularies.

Must have been a slow news day yesterday, all the Beeb had on on him at one point was film of him rehearsing his speech in his car! News??!

Yes it's strange that's all the BBC could come up with. You'd have thought they would have opened the day discussing his speech to Congress the night before.

Speaking of vocab, "spate" doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.

It is a collective noun, unsuitable to describe a single incident of the type you've referred to.

To be fair, when you have even Van Jones commenting positively on the president's speech, the amount of fake news that can be generated is minimal.

Don Lemon had a nice spate of cognitive dissonance while on air though. So us impartial observers were not let down entirely.

Yep - about the only fake news came from the usual source - KellyAnne Conway . http://edition.cnn.com/2017/03/01/politics/erin-bu...

Mate, finishing the find-a-word at a Dunkin' Donuts isn't as big an achievement as you think.

Hmm. How about this then -http://reason.com/blog/2017/02/27/trumps-fake-crackdown-on-sex-trafficking - attacks Trump for his fake news claims about dealing with sex trafficking.

It's a reasonably sensible article I think. I particularly liked the finding that the more a person feels personally complicit in or guilty of facilitating a problem, they more they are likely to express moral outrage against the main perpetrators of the problem.

Which is a neat way of reinforcing the fact that as most people on here are not American, we are in no way complicit or guilty when it comes to electing Trump, and therefore unlikely to be 'morally outraged' by him. This lack of outrage - it's simply dispassionate interest for the most part - has of course been totally ignored by Trump apologists, who find it much more useful to avoid an actual discussion of the subject by simply screaming 'Snowflake! SJW! Cognitive Dissonance!' and other irrelevant nonsenses in order to deflect from the issues at hand.

Ah. Sort of assumed it was going to be another zero hedge type ramble in conspiracy speak..

Trump quietly repeals gun laws introduced after the Sandy Hook school massacre:

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-signs-bi...

I find that incredible. A law intended to flag people with mental illness from buying guns.

I found this quote about the rule which has been repealed by Trump:

The NRA calls the rule “a bureaucratic directive based on an entirely new reading of a nearly 50-year-old statute by anti-gun zealots who are willing to target a misunderstood and stigmatized population as an intermediate step to disarming America at large.

The mentally ill, toting guns, are "misunderstood and stigmatized".

Riiight.

Sandy Hook was a turning point for America and their gun rules. Once they decided 6 and 7 year old kids being murdered at school was acceptable, it was game over.
