So, have they already scored social housing and benefits in Europe? And are tickets to their rap concerts already sold out?

The existence of an official language is one of the most absurd things imaginable. Trump's move to establish one flies in the face of the Continental Congress's decision, when John Adams tried pushing this through an academy. @POTUS is restricting personal freedom for nothing.

When libertarian-leaning figures like @RandPaul support an official language, it looks even more absurd given their supposed defense of personal liberty. “Libertarian for official language” sounds like “pacifist for war.”

Holy Crap, I'm so sick of hearing the same bullshit on every hold message: “Your call is very important to us, please stay on the line.” What could be more mindless, insincere, and copy-pasted? Why not just say: “We don't actually care about that. Call back if YOU care enough.”

George Orwell both built a dictatorship and fought it. He helped suppress Burma, became a Communist, took a bullet, became a DemSoc and reinvented himself as a crusader against totalitarianism, starting by filing denunciations with the British Foreign Office's propaganda dept.
Orwell was incredible.
However, as an idealistic young man, even he was initially captured by communism. Until he saw it firsthand in the Spanish civil war, he didn’t realize he was fighting for the bad guys.

At this rate, Rubio's going to need a whole new name in the Chinese language every time he mentions something that the Chinese government doesn't like.
On June 4, the world marks 37 years since the Chinese Communist Party ordered its troops to attack thousands of peaceful demonstrators in and around Tiananmen Square. Those who sacrificed to uphold their unalienable rights of free expression and peaceful assembly will be vindicated someday.

In any other country, this guy would've clung to power for 20–30 years, rewritten the constitution to suit himself, and declared himself Emperor of Mankind. But our global chief warden, Donald J. Trump, plays by the rules of the U.S system, and for that, he shows us great mercy.
Breaking news: Trump administration officials have pressed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait, in what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years. wapo.st/4dQNsGj

Atheists compete with Christians in terms of their morality according to Christian standards. It's astonishing that atheists try to be more Christian than Christians themselves. If Christ doesn't exist, then faith and all that Christian morality are pointless.
