Try Soylent News, split from /. a few years ago. It's much like /. used to be.

Any more I only come here to read journals.

You linked a fact-free opinion piece. The actual amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

It has absolutely nothing to do with the private sector.

No politician in my life has been caught telling so many incredibly stupid, easily disproven lies. He lies moe and worse than my ex-wife. Like her, he'll keep lying to you even when he knows you know he's lying.

Lying on a sworn statement is NOT normal for any politician. That's what fraudsters do (he did settle a fraud claim).

And no, I'm not a Democrat. I vote candidate, not party. Of the four that ran, IMO none would have been a good President; historians say that James Buchanan was our worst (he caused the civil war), and his pre-presidential career was very similar to Hillary's.

Maybe next time the parties will actually nominate someone who is qualified.

Not surprising, considering all the other bald faced lies he's been shown to tell. It is likely that he was once six three, because one shrinks as one ages. I've lost two inches in the last twenty years.

It would be self-defense.

I said he was only in it for the money when he first entered the race. Money and the spotlight are all Trump cares about.

I'm not a lawyer, but if I were Trump's attorney I'd probably become an alcoholic.

Yes, I seldom see anything important in the newspaper that they don't cover on TV news. It's also why I vastly prefer CBS's morning news than GMA, GMA has maybe fifteen minutes of news, with the rest unimportant nonsense like celebrities, TV shows (ABC's, of course), sports stars.

Why in the hell should Venus Williams' car crash matter to me?

Yes, the linked article says a third of their revenue comes from classifieds, a third from other ads, a third from sales. But historically, classifieds have had far more real estate and automobile ads, and other ads that work better locally.

So gullible!

Nope! Now it's mangled in preview, too.

The need for unicode concerns copy & paste, not making emojis. I'll test it, before it didn't mangle unicode in preview, but when you hit the "submit" button is when it got mangled.

If the following isn't mangled, they fixed it:

The green fur on Tubarkâ(TM)s neck stood on end as her hairy, tentacled arm with its seven tentacled fingers pointed to the bright afternoon sky. âoeDo you see that?â she exclaimed. All four of her eyes stared at the sky as her hairy tail drooped and the feathers on her forehead stood up.
        âoeYes. What was it?â
        âoeI think it is a dragon, as in ancient tales. We think they are only in stories, but maybe dragons are real?â
        Targov shook her head. âoeIt cannot be. This must be a dream. Or it is something we know not of. Come, we need to see The Elder.â

Try S/N. It was started after the "beta" disaster hit slashdot a couple of years ago.
