The Huffington Post isn't so much ideological as it is just vapid and opportunistic. Arianna Huffington herself used to be a conservative until she saw that the overall national mood was tilting more liberal, especially on social issues, and oriented her website to match. At most the site is a place where well to do white liberals can go to assuage their guilt, it certainly isn't a place that's fomenting radical revolution or anything like that.
And to make a more general point, the reason there aren't liberal equivalents of Breitbart and WND and all the other garbage right wing sites is that liberals simply don't care as much. Your average left leaning American probably supports a broad range of progressive ideas in general, but outside of reading a couple news sites it's not something he thinks about all that much. Compare that to the attitude of some right wingers who practically see "conservative cultural warrior" as a full time job and are fully immersed within that bubble of nationalistic, conspiratorial propaganda. It really isn't that strange when you think about it, even amongst the most liberal segments of American society, the most powerful and influential figures still tend to be white men, and as much as they want to talk about fairness and justice it's not like they're prepared to sacrifice their own position to accomplish that.

Your name will carry on through generations, and will never be forgotten.
I think a massive distinction between so-called "liberal" news sites/newspapers and conservative ones is that the "liberal" ones usually call themselves liberal because they have a liberal editorial and opinion pieces/bloggers by liberal individual. But when it comes to actual news articles they are generally only interested in reporting the facts. Conservative "new sites", or even worse: Breitbart.com, on the other hand generally are only interested framing everything in a way that advances their twisted worldview, by distorting the facts or publishing pure fiction and conspiracy theories.
The illusion is created by you not reading the orogin of that blog. The writer is not a journalist, this is not a news story... Although, your reply does peer into one of the reasons journalism is on the decline. When you treat a blog post from a guy whose credentials are 'writer, musician' as a journalist, the word no longer has meaning...

The irony of that statement, is that at the time of his presidancy, her pulling his strings or being the brains behind the saxophone, was a shot against Bill. Much like Bush and Chainy, she was Bill's Dick. See Hillarycare for more info... GOP doesn't want you to remember that, because this is what they said after Clinton's reign:
GOP Platform from 2000:
http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=25849We meet at a remarkable time in the life of our country. Our powerful economy gives America a unique chance to confront persistent challenges. Our country, after an era of drift, must now set itself to important tasks and higher goals. The Republican Party has the vision and leadership to address these issues.
Our platform is uplifting and visionary. It reflects the views of countless Americans all across this country who believe in prosperity with a purpose — who believe in Renewing America's Purpose. Together.
Yep, what might as well be a progressive slogan of "prosperity with a purpose" was the GOP platform in 2000. The next election it was replaced with war rhetoric. Then the next was once again war rhetoric, until McCain needed to refocus on the economy. GOP fears Clintons, for the same reason you are chastised for bringing up Bush. There is a reason that there has only been 1 popular vote won by the GOP sense the 80s ended. If Hillary is like Bill, then you'll have a balanced budget, booming economy and no prolific war, without her fucking interns. If Trump is like Bush, we have 2 indefine wars and 2 economic collapses. Shhh... No Bush... No Bill (unless it's about his Dick).

Do you think Trump will pardon him self in the several ongoing lawsuits or let them play out during his term?

Except they have. It's just that the Secret Service and such have gotten better, generally, at stopping assassination attempts before they happen; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...s#Barack_Obama
Voting for the shiniest of two turds is a horrid feeling.....how the fuck did this happen we'll never know but really folks who ever win this election lets make sure they don't get a second term.

You don't fuck with the President on Gerard Butler's watch, that's for sure.
Huffington Post and Fox News aren't even close, and it's actually pretty disgusting that you compare the two. Top articles on Fox right now is the violence in Charlotte (which makes sense), top article on HP (as of right now) is "She's Progressive!" with a big picture of Hillary. If you go to the opinion section of Fox, this article, a former Clinton adviser talking about how unfair Hillary is treated in the media, is the 3rd one down. Good luck finding pieces like that about Trump on HP. Fox actually tries to be balanced whereas HP doesn't give a fuck.

That's quite the article. What a way to sell your side to someone... and simultaneously demonstrate your immaturity.
It's like being asked if you want to shoot yourself in the foot or the hand. The only pro of shooting yourself in the foot is you still have your hand. The con list is very long.
I feel bad for my American friends. They all hate the situation they're in.
Also, The Huffington Post is just a buzzfeed attempt at making a news source. It's awful.
1) Load the amount of weight I would deadlift onto the bench
2) Unrack
3) Crank out 15 reps
4) Be ashamed of constantly skipping leg day
