In an obvious attempt to connect with younger voters, Democrats on Capitol Hill have taken to employing modern "text faces" in expressing their opposition's position on important social issues. Just last Thursday, during a heated Senate debate on the renewal of Obamacare, Sen. Chris Murphy utilized a popular "kaomoji," commonly known as the Shruggie: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, to exemplify the general right-wing consensus on affordable healthcare in America.
Since then, other left-leaning politicians have followed suit, using trendy icons to illustrate their take on familiar Republican standpoints, as can be seen below:
Important ties between several former Soviet states and the European Union have suffered a major setback this week as the supposed "high pressure" sanctions imposed on an increasingly expansionist Russia have begun to wane in the face of greater regional backlash. Many leaders of countries like Moldova, Georgia and the Ukraine have recently expressed deep disappointment with the EU's lack of follow-through, claiming that while hard-line rhetoric might effectively grab world-wide headlines, they have seen very little in terms of real-world results. Some leaders have even threatened to boycott the upcoming Eastern Partnership summit at Riga, Latvia. Even President Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus stated that while he was willing to attend the summit, he would not be going to the dancing-spree and ice cream social afterward.
Almost a week after the astonishing admission made by actress Kate Blanchet, revealing details on her occasional lesbian love trists, another well known red carpet icon, Ms. Tatum O'Neal, told Jezebel that she too has embarked on several lust-filled sapphic relationships. Some media commentators believe that an increasing number of aging female entertainers are publicly revising their sexual identities in order to garner greater media attention, while others suggest that the shift is simply a byproduct of our modern times. Whatever the circumstances, it appears that when it comes to the women of Hollywood, it's all about the meat-curtains.
A big-time real estate mogul in Larkspur, California, may be in hot water after state conservationist officials discovered that builders had covertly destroyed a rare indian burial ground in order to make way for multi-million dollar upscale housing project. The cultural impact to the local Native American population has been devastating to say the least but, what most found particularly infuriating was the developer's cavalier attitude toward the whole issue.
"Ah, fuck it. Just move the headstones. What's the worst that could happen?"
Yet another series of disturbing revelations have surfaced involving the ominous global surveillance effort currently being perpetrated by the U. S. National Security Agency. According to documents release by the online news agency Intercept, the NSA, as part of a top secret program entitle "Irritant Horn," had planned to hijack popular "app" stores in order to embed spyware onto the personal devices of literally millions of unsuspecting users. In response to heavy criticism, the NSA has claimed that the operation was an utter necessity in determining any possible terrorism related uses associated with popular digital "apps."
That was supposed to be the World Trade Center towers, but I was threatened
with a moratorium on sexual intercourse, so...
