little Snopes spin on it.. (Thank you for the link!) What's True Susan Rosenberg has served as vice chair of the board of directors for Thousand Currents, an organization that provides fundraising and fiscal sponsorship for the Black Lives Matter Global Movement. She was an active member of revolutionary left-wing movements whose illegal activities included bombing U.S. government buildings and committing armed robberies.

What's Undetermined In the absence of a single, universally-agreed definition of "terrorism," it is a matter of subjective determination as to whether the actions for which Rosenberg was convicted and imprisoned — possession of weapons and hundreds of pounds of explosives — should be described as acts of "domestic terrorism."

Man, more and more I get tempted to set up a website called snopeswatch which dissects the mental gymnastics they get up to. Other "fact checking" sites as well.

It makes me sad. I was around when Snopes first got on Usenet and he seemed like a nice enough lad. I don't know whether it's him or he's just fallen in with nefarious influences.

Something like that would be awesome. Maybe even highlight trending/current stories from left,right, and center(if there are any left) outlets. My thought with that is it allows people to see the spin from all angles. Remove the spin and breakdown the facts!

My worry about fact checking would be that it would end up as biased as all the others, maybe is a different direction (though as we've seen, it only takes a few poisonous employees to swing things psychopathically left). This would more be about deconstructing the spin these sites are using.

The meaning of words has never been a big concern for these people, I expect less so now that they are in power.

ANY POWER THAT THEY MAY CURRENTLY PERCEIVE IS TRANSIENT. JUST WATCH AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

...there's no "single universally-agreed definition?"

I'm sure they can get Mirriam-Webster right on that. :D

It depends on what your definition of "is" is.

I think she sits on the board of Thousand Currents, which directly sends resources to BLM. One step removed, in the George Soros way, but same difference.

That lines up with the theory that everything democrats get in a tizzy about and accuse Republicans of doing is just to cover up their own crimes or political embarrassment.

Violence doesn't solve anything??

Violence, properly applied, gets you respect.

Respect get's you taken seriously.

It's the ONLY language they understand...

Her actual name is Susan Rosenberg.

Do not confuse the two.
