Tammany hall system never ended, it just switched from the Irish to blacks.

Democratic politics have been nationalized which means they have been neglecting local communities they control. Which means those communities get worse and after 30 plus years of it people just get sick of the excuses. The democrats have a real chance of losing the black community with in our life times. Expecially if they continue to neglect the communities they control.
The trouble is in getting them to realize the way they're getting used. Natives are the same way. Hell, no one seems to even remember we exist unless we're blocking them from putting in a pipeline they want or if they think they can gain some brownie points from the bleeding heart crowd.
If you native americans to vote republican in 2020 just have Elisabeth Warren be the canadate for president...
They took what she did incredibly personally.
Damn right. She's been claiming all this time to be Native in order to take advantage of affirmative action, and she not only has never been a registered member of any tribe, she doesn't have anywhere near the amount of blood quantum to be registered in any tribe to begin with. All she's ever had is some vague story of some grandmother from over a century ago supposedly being a Native, and "look at my high cheek-bones." 
That makes her about as Native American as I am. You see, I've heard from my father that somewhere back in our line we have some native american blood. Totally makes me a native.Damn right.

Of course it's diluted with all the English, Irish, Jewish, German, Russian, and probably some other variant of European blood in my family tree...

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
How asking a loaded stupid question can have consequences.
Seriously you ask an actor whether playing as the joker would cause RL copycats is the most absurd question to ask that he's not expected to answer. Phoenix walked out as a result.
Was reading through a new ABC article about someone leaking stuff from what was supposed to be a closed door deposition and I came upon this which pretty much stopped me cold.
"Could be a refence to"? That's not even reporting... It's just making stuff up...

This is just low reporting, "media" going after Ivanka Trump,saying she was "humiliated" for having a case of the pokies.

I see nothing wrong here, except I further view the media with even more contempt for trying to make mountains out of mole hills.

I'm not sure if this was deliberate play on words or not but I laughed either way.

...I like that last line... it's like "...context reporter dude, context."
On a note that's a lot less humorous then my usual contributions to this thread, a couple of debacles from ABC news trying to call a gunrange in the USA combat footage in Syria and Kurth Eichenwald trying to claim a picture of an Earthquake from 1983 in Turkey was dead kids in Syria and getting called out by every turk on twitter in the comments.
All in all I think I preferred the news trying to contact dead people...

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
I like this video I found. Summarises what's happening with the journos.
Lots of writers getting sacked for not doing their job.

Womp womp.
Complain complain. Ad gone. Money gone. Journo carreer soon gone.
TLDR Looks like Kotaku is kill thanks to the staff interfering with the ads as the catalyst. Their corporate overlords didn't likey that.
But other places say that it was refusal to obey an internal memo to do their job. Stick to gaming, stick to sports no more SJWing.
No my way or the highway. Ok you're fired get on the highway.
