aspiring politician with business acumen is told by major political party and its rabid supporters NOT to consider independent run in 2020

said supporters frequently complain about lack of viable 3rd party alternatives

Buzzfeed staff argued about bringing ‘emotional support puppies’ into the office amid sweeping layoffs.

Quote
Workers begged the news outlet's CEO Jonah Peretti to bring in emotional support animals after revelations 15 per cent of staff would be losing their jobs in the coming week.

High school debate meet.
The topic was “Resolved: The United States Federal Government should substantially reduce restrictions on legal immigration.”
Team A had the affirmative argument of "we should reduce restrictions on legal immigration.". To make their 'argument':
>{they} read a “slam poem” about how terms like “legal” and “illegal” are dehumanizing. In documents provided to The Daily Wire, these students quoted from numerous professors critical of assimilation and the notion that immigrants must act American to live “the good life.” “Promises of citizenship and the ‘good life’ force non-normative subjects into a slow death, working towards the unbelievable goal of the American dream," the students said.
Team B had the counterpoint, to argue against team A. They argued that team A did not articulate a policy position at all, and thus there was no way to argue against it, and the debate was unfair
Team A then argued that because team B were white males, they could not talk about fairness
Team B then cited arguments against identity politics by Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson
Team A continued to interject that team B could not talk because they were white males, and accused them repeatedly of 'psychological violence'
After a few minutes back and forth on this point, the debate moderators intervened and declared that Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson are white supremacists, and that by quoting them team B was now disqualified

Political correctness gone too far? First they came for Apu, now they come for Luke Skywalker

I guess using the force in 2019 is frowned upon

Martial artist and the former face of Spur restaurants, Luke Skywalker, will have to wait until May 20 before he is tried for the attempted murder and kidnapping of his former wife.

This, after mediation was turned down. In addition, exhibits have to be finalised, the Cape Town Magistrate's Court heard on Friday.

"I know my client wants the matter expedited as soon as possible," said his lawyer William Booth, as Skywalker shook his head in frustration, his long ponytail running down his back.

Skywalker has been accused of attempting to kill Patricia Skywalker by using his fists and "repeatedly slapping, punching, strangling and hitting" her on December 29 and 30, 2017.

Listened to a little bit of this... what a disaster. The judge wasn't even maintaining the debate format... it just turned into a 3 vs 2 shouting match. And the SJWs and judge weren't even understanding the arguments from the other team.
