NightStalkerDNS I'd love to hear the facts of why Putin is such a bad guy and a dictator? Seems it's 1 of the more successful propaganda campaigns in the US. Sure, Putin is a politician, none of them are good people.
But if you going to claim he is so bad, you better have actual proof to back it up. How can he argue that Putin doesn't have his people's best interests at heart? He seems to be 1 of the few that do somewhat care. More than the US does at least

Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur apologized Thursday after demeaning comments aimed at women were discovered on an old blog.
As reported by TheWrap, the posts, first made in the early 2000s, were discovered archived online after reportedly being deleted by Uygur a decade ago.
In one entry from 2000, Uygur, distraught by a lack of sex while in Miami, claimed women were genetically “flawed.”
“It seems like there is a sea of tits here, and I am drinking in tiny droplets. I want to dive into the whole god damn ocean,” Uygur wrote. “Obviously, the genes of women are flawed. They are poorly designed creatures who do not want to have sex nearly as often as needed for the human race to get along peaceably and fruitfully.”
In another post entitled “Rules of Dating,” Uygur asserted that he would reject a female if he was unable to feel her breasts by the third date.
“Women, ignore these at your peril. Rule 1: There must be some serious making out by the third date,” Uygur said. “If I haven’t felt your tits by then, things are not about to last much longer. In fact, if you don’t get back on track by the fourth date, you’re done.”
Another rule from Uygur also demanded that there “must be orgasm by the fifth date.”
The progressive icon even recounted a Mardi Gras trip in which he “felt countless breasts.”
“I had one of the best nights of my life at Mardi Gras,” Uygur recalled. “I kissed over 23 different women, saw and felt countless breasts, and was in a wonderful drunken stupor thanks to my friend John Daniels.”
In response to the discovery of his blog, Uygur described his previous content was “ugly” and “insensitive.”
“The stuff I wrote back then was really insensitive and ignorant,” Uygur told TheWrap. “If you read that today, what I wrote 18 years ago, and you’re offended by it, you’re 100 percent right. And anyone who is subjected to that material, I apologize to. And I deeply regret having written that stuff when I was a different guy.”
Uygur also claimed that he held such viewpoints because he was “still a conservative” at the time.
“If someone said that today, I would heavily criticize them on the show and rightfully so, and I have. I’ve criticized myself over the years,” Uygur said. “I had not yet matured and I was still a conservative who thought that stuff was politically incorrect and edgy. When you read it now, it looks really, honestly, ugly. And it’s very uncomfortable to read.”
TheWrap also noted that Uygur’s blog mentioned a time in which David Koller, who now serves as senior vice president of operations at the Young Turks, called underage girls “whores in training.”
While Uygur claims that his views towards women have changed, a former employee speaking to TheWrap said the liberal media personality still makes women uncomfortable.
“Cenk is just a knucklehead. He’s a boy. He talks about women the way I talked when I was 13,” said the former employee, who asked to remain anonymous. “He’s obsessed with body count — basically how many people you f—ed. This is an important number to him.”
The revelation concerning Uygur comes as countless progressive figures, many who have repeatedly and vocally made known their alleged support of women, have been accused of sexual harassment and abuse.
Editor's Note: A few thoughts I'd like to add to the video commentary... As unappealing as her video content may seem from what little bit is shown here, it does not necessarily mean she wasn't affected by demonetization brought about by AI algorithms, flagging abuse, or even outright censorship. Obviously all of the above are possible in the toxic environment YouTube has created. Whether she was an actual victim of these things or just conflated her issues with these real problems we will never know for sure. Assuming the latter for her I still wonder, how long will it be before a real victim of this censorship snaps in such a way? Heaven forbid, because God knows it would only be used to try and further erode our liberties. The second I heard of this incident I immediately wondered if such a motive was at play. Things are looking up, but many people are still struggling to find gainful employment. They start to make some money from YouTube and depending on their choice of content, many have seemingly seen this ripped away because of political bias either directly aimed at them, or encoded into the system. Again, make no mistake, censorship is certainly taking place with videos being put into limited state and getting warning labels about being offensive put in front of them, both of which allow no money to be made. There just so happens to be a lot of other funny business going on that can't 100% be proven, but seems obvious enough. Still others have seen a decrease in their traffic, views, subscribes, and monetization, not because of any political bias per se, but just because YouTube has been doing everything it can to push corporate content over those who built the platform. Even simple copyright strikes have even been improperly applied, AKA weaponized. In fact, the whole 3 strikes and you're out system is unfair on its face and unnecessary. How about just have an MO like Daily Motion? A copyright complaint (you know because many like their content being reposted for promotion) gets a video taken down with the right to appeal and that is all, no strikes. No people would ever then need to deal with the possibility of getting removed from the platform for fair use commentary, or a song that sounds like another song, etc. So let's prevent gun violence by sharing the wealth and love YouTube! No more manipulation for corporatism, no more censorship, and no more copyright and strike systems rife for abuse! The Truth About YouTube HQ Shooter
Obviously the woman is responsible, but YouTube does deserve blame as well. Certainly not the gun or the 2nd Amendment. I said this before Jones, because it's true.

The YouTube demonetization campaign caused this woman's account to lose all her viewers and lose whatever income she was receiving from her content.
They marked an ab workout video she did as 'age-restricted', yet gave no such age restrictions on videos from Nicki Minaj or Miley Cyrus riding giant dicks on a stage.
Talented, thoughtful, quirky, promoted fitness, fought against animal abuse and authoritarianism, and now she's gone, for what? So YouTube could save $3?
The CEO of YouTube should step down.

Infowars Nightly News Director Rob Dew debates Jayde Lovell, resident scientist of the The Young Turks network and SyIQ web series. Jayde was in town for SXSW Interactive to give a speech on how to debate anti-GMO groups, anti-vaccers and climate-deniers. Rob jumped at the chance to challenge her "science" and a lively debate ensued.
The arrest of a black suspect in the burning of a black Mississippi church has left egg on the faces of the The Young Turks, which last month ridiculed the possibility the attack wasn’t a hate crime.
Andrew McClinton of Greenville was arrested by police Wednesday and charged with first degree arson of a place of worship for allegedly torching Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church. McClinton, who is a parishioner at Hopewell, is accused of setting the church on fire Nov. 1 and defacing its outer wall with the message “Vote Trump.”
Based on his Facebook page, McClinton appears to be a fan of Donald Trump’s Facebook page, but even if the man does support Trump politically, police say they do not believe the attack was politically motivated. Instead, they suggested the man simply wanted it to appear that way.
And that’s unfortunate for online news broadcast The Young Turks, whose hosts ridiculed the possibility the attack was not a hate crime.
Investigators said Thursday that they're recommending a disorderly conduct charge be filed against a 15-year-old girl who was pepper-sprayed after she punched a man at a rally for Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump in Wisconsin.
Video of the altercation shows a crowd of people in a parking lot outside the rally in Janesville on Tuesday. The girl can be seen holding an anti-Trump sign and arguing with a 59-year-old man.
The video shows the man turning away with his hands in the air. Seconds later, the girl punches him in the face. Another man wearing a red Trump hat then pepper-sprayed the girl and disappeared into the crowd.
The girl told police the first man groped her breast. But Chief David Moore told reporters during a news conference Thursday that additional video doesn't show any evidence the man groped her and that 12 out of 13 witnesses said they didn't see him do anything.
Moore said the man who was punched didn't want to press assault charges against the girl, but investigators have recommended juvenile authorities charge her with disorderly conduct for what he called "an act of violence." He said time passed between the alleged groping and the punching and the man and the girl were several feet apart when she threw the punch.
Cenk did not believe in people changing and apologizing when it came to Trump. And it's his side that believes people should resign based off mere allegations and past statements. It's backfiring now, good. It should be used as a political weapon. We should use their standards against them and reserve our own for our own. These people have proven with this last election that there will be no unity. This is all out war. Their party is corrupt to the core. Their ideology is cancerous and failed. Every dirty trick short of outright lying and breaking the law is warranted. These enemies of America deserve to be given no quarter. This isn't rhetoric, it's uncucked truth.http://trumpisright.blogspot.com/2017/12/young-turks-uygur-once-called-women.html
They set the rules (where no quarter is given to those displaying sexist behaviour), and now they will live or die by them or will come across as hypocrites. Aside from being crass, did Cenk actually harass women? If he acted as a creepo, like Bill O'Reilly, then he obviously has to go.
