well back to the Mueller report
while purusing cnn I found this little gem
Scott Jennings writes that a key takeaway from the Mueller report is that Barack Obama’s administration failed the United States with its tepid response to Russian interference in our democracy.
I do think the coverage for sri lanka has been just as intense as the new Zealand muslim killings.
you'd think after thousands of years--the religious wars would have played themselves out--now thanks to social media and all the networks seems worse then ever.

The militia group that was in the news for detaining illegals and handing them over to Border Patrol is interesting, not in what they are doing, I think they have the right to make a citizen's arrest and I think they have the right to carry weapons. I think he will have charges dismissed. At least I hope so. What is astounding to me is that this smallish militia that travels to the border and camps out has detained 5,600 illegals in just two months with zero violent incidents. No deaths, not discharged their weapons once.
It's all fairly impressive.

At the very least, that militia should apply for a contract with the Government. Forget Blackwater. This militia is very good at what they do. 5,600 detained peacefully at no cost.

And while a few on the Left had gone through verbal gymnastics to avoid calling it "an attack on Christians" I am not sure I care. Obviously, Easter is a Christian observance. If the attack had been on Jews at Yom Kippur. Or Muslims on Ramadan, I think most would know who had been attacked even if they mentioned the holiday as opposed to the religion."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

the point is not that I think people won't know it was Christians who were attacked, by omitting the word, and bending over backwards to apologize and comfort specifically the Muslim community and faith after the NZ shooting and the like, is a kin to them never saying radical Islam after the Pulse shooting and others. they continue to bend over backwards to appease Islam and to marginalize Christians, again, because Christianity is too white, too Western, and that is not the direction of their progress.
It is not the IT, but that they are fucking garbage for having DONE it.

That one will be laughed out of court.

My milage varies on that. I am not sure replacing Christian with Easter has any effect - other than making them look a bit silly.

I don't think saying "attacks on Easter Worshippers" marginalizes Christians. Just like if this were an attack on a mosque saying "attacks on Ramadan worshippers" would marginalize Muslims.

I don't think it was done consciously. social media bends it that way I supposes. Hillary calls it easter worshipers they all call it easter worshipers.
but it is amazing when you watch cbs/msnbc/cnn et al when a prhase gets ballyed around how much repetition there is for that phrase from Pelosi to the dnc cadnidates to the"expert panels" of each network whatevet the theme for the day is that phrase is used a hundred times.
