What Does Mat Lauer's Firing for Sexual Misconduct Have to do with Hillary?
Submitted by Steven D on Wed, 11/29/2017 - 1:01pmMatt Lauer, powerful host of NBC's Today Show has been fired over allegations of "sexual misconduct." One more in a trail of powerful men in the media brought down for misbehavior ranging from rape to harassment. All fine and good. No one should be permitted to abuse their position to act badly. Yet, some Clintonites are claiming this is a vindication of Hillary? WTF?

Here's a few examples:

Yet another worry: Bitcoin mining consumes energy big time
Submitted by arendt on Tue, 11/28/2017 - 1:06pmWe all have a lot to worry about, what with neoliberals and neocons running rampant all over the world and inside our country. We already know about Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies - a Libertarian wet dream of tax avoidance, contraband selling, and protection from government asset seizure. Of course, with government increasingly dismantled by the neo-libs/cons, BTC is a "vote Trump" middle finger to TPTB for many.
