Top Democrats post identical âorange man badâ anti-Trump tweet

Ranking Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have been accused of being Trump-hating automatons after posting identical tweets attacking the president. The curious stunt has breathed fresh life into the infamous âNPCâ meme.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi were mocked as ânon-player charactersâ (NPCs) â a video game term that has been retooled to describe those who mindlessly regurgitate anti-Trump mantras â after tweeting identical Christmas Eve roasts of Donald Trump.
âIt’s Christmas Eve and @realDonaldTrump is plunging the country into chaos. The stock market is tanking and the president is waging a personal war on the Federal Reserve â after he just fired the Secretary of Defense,â Schumer tweeted.
Less than thirty minutes later, Pelosi tweeted an identical Christmas Eve warning. The lawmakers also posted a series of nearly-identical follow-up messages, lambasting the president for shutting down the government.
The lazy messaging strategy provoked a snark storm on Twitter, with many users dusting off their favorite NPC meme to satirize the herd-mentality hatred of the president.
âHoly smokes. They are literally NPCs. They think and speak EXACTLY alike!â one Twitter user wrote.
The NPC meme gained wide popularity ahead of the November midterm elections. In October, Twitter deleted an estimated 1,500 accounts that used the meme to mock liberal conformity, claiming they were Russian bots.
The âtankingâ stock market that Schumer and Pelosi expressed identical grief over later experienced a record-setting rebound. The Dow added over 1,080 points (4.9%), its biggest single-day gain in history.

âHumanity not mankindâ: EU Parliament urges MEPs to adopt âgender-neutralâ language
Faced with a fracturing union plagued by internal squabbles, EU Parliament has taken decisive action to solve the blocâs numerous real-world problems, issuing a pamphlet which urges MEPs to ditch words coined with âmanâ.
Officials and members in the parliament have been sent guidebooks on using gender-neutral language in all of their official EU-related work and communications, the Telegraph reported on Thursday. Under the new guidelines, European lawmakers will be strongly encouraged to say âchairâ instead of âchairmanâ, âartificialâ instead of âman-madeâ, and âhumanityâ instead of âmankind.â
âGender-neutral or gender-inclusive language is more than a matter of political correctnessâ, the guidebook insists. âLanguage powerfully reflects and influences attitudes and perceptions.â
The decision has prompted reactions from the country where English originated, especially from those of its citizens who seem to support the UK leaving the bloc.
âHere it comes glad we are leaving,â one Brit on Twitter wrote.
âThank f*** weâre leaving! What a load of old s****,â another quipped, using the gender-neutral word for âman-feces.â
Others have argued that the guidelines are an affront to the English language, and attempt to needlessly alter the roots and meaning behind certain words.
Some pointed that the words mean nothing if they are not supported by actions.
The guidelines first emerged in November but were geared more towards interpreters, who were advised to use gender-neutral terms when translating between languages.
The EU parliament is just the latest in a long line of Western institutions to strive for a completely inoffensive, neutral-everything world. Everything from Christmas songs to âanti-animalâ language has been targeted by the PC police for hurting at least one personâs feelings on Twitter.
Neocons and Media Unite to Attack Trumpâs Syria Decision
By Mark Alan
President Trumpâs decision to withdraw US troops from Syria has been met with some push back among neoconservatives and the media. Although the move seems consistent with the presidents previous statements about the conflict, that didnât stop some from expressing shock over the decision. Undoubtedly, the two loudest voices among Republicans were Senators Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio.
Graham called the move an âObama-likeâ mistake. Rubio, apparently trying to establish himself as the leading figure of the neoconservative movement, went as far as calling the presidentâs decision a âretreat.â Graham and Rubio have both expressed past support for using the US military to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The response from many in the media hasnât been too different from that of the neocons. CNNâs Erin Burnett strongly condemned President Trumpâs decision. She said the president was giving Vladimir Putin an early Christmas present by withdrawing US soldiers from Syria. However, she failed to articulate why she believes the lives of US soldiers are less valuable than the alleged disruption between the US and Russia.
Burnett wasnât the only CNN personality to attack the president for his decision. CNNâs Fareed Zakaria also bashed the withdraw of US troops from Syria. He claimed President Trump was making an even bigger mistake than former president George W Bushâs âmission accomplishedâ fiasco during the Iraq War. Itâs worth noting that Zakaria is one of many prominent members of the media who supported the decision to invade Iraq.
Anchors from other networks also condemned the presidentâs choice to withdraw troops from Syria. Fox Newsâ Brian Kilmeade called Trumpâs decision âstunning and irresponsible.â He also suggested the president was âcutting and running.â MSNBCâs Joe Scarborough expressed similar sentiments on his show this morning.
The reaction of the neoconservatives and like minded members of the media shouldnât come as a surprise to anyone. The two groups have united numerous times in the past, salivating at the idea of a ground war to overthrow Assad in Syria. Thankfully, peace has prevailed.
United States military forces have been in Syria for over four years. The first known instance of American troops fighting on the ground in Syria occurred in July of 2014, as part of a hostage rescue operation. The Global War on Terror has already cost US tax payers nearly 6 trillion dollars. To provide that number some context, the combined value of the entire US housing market is worth about 30 trillion dollars.
Elsewhere, President Trumpâs decision has been met with praise. Senators Mike Lee and Rand Paul both applauded the presidentâs withdraw of troops from Syria. Senator Paul saidthe presidentâs decision is another example of Trump keeping his campaign promises. Paul further defended the move, saying the presidentâs decision in Syria illustrates why he won the 2016 election.

Weekly Standard Goes Belly Up, Actual Conservatives Celebrate
By
A formerly-relevant conservative magazine has shut down after two years of #NeverTrump commentary finally drove the majority of its readership away.
âAll good things come to an end. And so, after 23 years, does The Weekly Standard. I want to express my gratitude to our readers and my admiration for my colleagues. We worked hard to put out a quality magazine, and we had a good time doing so. And we have much more to do. Onward!â said Bill Kristol, formerly Weekly Standardâs editor-at-large and the publicationâs most prominent personality.
Kristol is known for ditching the GOP over the nomination of President Donald J. Trump in favor of the globalist establishment. Weekly Standardâs former readers left for more in-touch media sources and never forgave him. After 23 years in business, the publication became obsolete in just two years.
The conservative world reacted on Twitter, mostly celebrating the death of a rag that worked against the interests of conservatives who support Trump.
âThe Weekly Standard folded because conservatives are tired of being force fed bullsh*t from out-of-touch, outdated elitists that think their opinions (& that of legacy media in general) are superior to everyone elseâs. You wonât see a single ounce of pity coming from me over it,â said Richard Armande Mills.
âTonight, I will toast to the end of the Weekly Standard. In fact Iâm gonna toast right now. And at lunch. And at Christmas parties tonight. Basically, fuck those guys,â said former Breitbart editor Raheem Kassam.
âCut the fake mourning. The Weekly Standard died several years ago when it told loyal readers like me to fuck off. Donât pretend it that it was just too principled for us brutes. It told us to fuck off. And we did. So now itâs fucked. Ahoy,â said Bconservative author Kurt Schlictter.
This reporter had some thoughts too:
There were rumors that the magazine might merge with Washington Examiner, but that deal never came to fruition. The last issue of Weekly Standard will be published on Dec. 24.
Strasbourg gunman cried ‘Allahu Akbar’ during attack, has 27 convictions â prosecutor
Strasbourg gunman, identified as a 29-year-old who has a criminal history, shouted âAllahu Akbar,â according to public prosecutor. Four people have been detained on suspicion of having links to the suspect, who is on the run.
Witnesses said that the suspect, previously identified as Cherif Chekat, was yelling âAllahu Akbarâ (God is great) during the shooting rampage, Remy Heitz, the Paris prosecutor, told a press conference on Wednesday.
âConsidering the target, his way of operating, his profile and the testimonies of those who heard him yell ‘Allahu Akbar’, the anti-terrorist police have been called into action,â Heitz explained.
Chekatt was wounded in the arm during a subsequent shootout with police but managed to flee the scene hijacking a taxi, the prosecutor said, confirming earlier media reports. He said that four of his relatives were put under arrest overnight.
The 29-year-old has been convicted 27 times for several offenses committed in France, Germany, and Switzerland. That aside, he was shadowed by DGSI, Franceâs homeland security agency, for harboring extremist views.
Chekattâs neighbors say he was âdestabilizedâ in prison, according to AP. âYou can just tell,â one neighbor said of the man, touching the side of his head. Another unnamed neighbor said the shooting suspect was rarely home. Police are now guarding the building where Chekatt is believed to have lived, which is in an outer neighborhood of Strasbourg.
The shooting at Strasbourgâs busy Christmas market left two people dead, one brain dead and 12 injured in what French authorities called an act of terrorism. Police have said Chekatt was a native of Strasbourg who comes from an immigrant family.
He was due to be arrested and searched prior to the attack in connection with a homicide-robbery case, but again managed to evade detention. Responding to the shooting, the authorities deployed multiple armed officers and a counter-terrorism team to deal with the situation.
In the aftermath of the attack, the government has put a ban on all public events in Strasbourg. However, no restrictions were placed on public events in other parts of France.
CANADIAN COUNCILLOR WANTS TO MAKE CHRISTMAS LESS CHRISTIAN TO AVOID OFFENDING MUSLIMS
Council to look at making decorations more âdiversityâ friendly
DECEMBER 11, 2018
A councillor in Victoria, Canada has succeeded in securing a review of the cityâs Christmas decorations after he expressed concerns that things like Christmas trees were not secular enough and needed to be more âdiverseâ because they may offend Muslims.
Coun. Ben Isitt has won support for the inquiry, which will look at âfurther secularizing or increasing the diversity of cultural elements in seasonal decorations,â reports the Vancouver Sun.
Isittâs demands were triggered after a poinsettia, a red floral display typically seen at Christmas, recently appeared on his desk at Victoria City Hall.
âI donât want a poinsettia. It is a symbol of the Christian faith,â he complained, adding that the cityâs main sequoia tree should not be lit up and turned into a Christmas tree because that is not âinclusiveâ enough and may offend Muslims.
âMuslims, unless they are mixed families, they donât have Christmas trees in their homes,â said Isitt.
However, Coun. Sharmarke Dubow, who is Muslim, said he didnât have a problem with the Christmas tree, commenting, âI was born on Christmas Day. This is symbolic and I like them (the lights), on a personal note.â
Despite Christmas decorations being dialed back by the city in recent years, Isitt thinks âthere are still many elements of Christian symbolismâ which need to be removed, adding, âFor me itâs the Christmas trees, itâs the poinsettias, itâs the hollies that sort of ruffle my sensibilities in terms of the expenditure of tax dollars.â
Coun. Marianne Alto responded by noting that although she didnât celebrate Christmas, lights were a way of brightening up the dark winter season.
âI do think we need to be cognizant of the fact that while weâre seeking diversity, part of diversity is also about tolerance,â she said.
A review, most likely headed up by representatives of different faiths, will now take place in order to assure that âpublicly funded decorations are as inclusive as possible.â
ISIS Calls for Bloodshed in New York City Over New Yearâs, Suggests Package Bombs and Snipers
By Cassandra Fairbanks – December 3, 2018
A media group that does support for ISIS is calling for attacks on New York City this New Year â urging terrorists to use package bombs, silencers and mail bombs to âhorrify and terrify.â
The latest call to action follows multiple threats from Jihadists for New Yearâs Day.
According to a report from PJ Media, a poster began circulating in mid-November showing a masked jihadist holding a bloody knife over a collage of images from the Berlin Christmas market attack in 2016. It said that âNew Yearâs Day is the date of retribution.â
âShortly after that, an ISIS-backing media group released an image of a demolished cityscape with multiple fires, warning, âSoon, Allah willing, the disbelievers will see the very thing they feared: 1-1-2019,’â PJ Media reports. âThat same group just released an image of an armed jihadist overlooking New York, stating the city named with a blood-splashed 1/1/2019.â
The text on the latest image quotes the late ISIS spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani urging his fellow terrorists to âhit them with the explosive belts and vehicle bomb, and shock them with adhesive explosives and packages, and harvest them with silencers and snipers, horrify and terrify them with the intrusions.â
Another ISIS supporting organization released an image of ISIS flags flying above the Vatican along with several jihadists on Via Della Conciliazione, PJ Mediaâs report says. The image was released shortly after another group of ISIS supporters, Al-Abd Al-Faqir, issued two assassination threats against Pope Francis.
In June, a 27-year-old California man, Everitt Aaron Jameson, pleaded guilty to plotting a Christmas Day bombing and shooting in San Francisco on behalf of ISIS. He was caught after discussing his plan to use pipe bombs to funnel people onto Pier 39 and shoot them en masse with undercover FBI agents who he believed were fellow Jihadis.
When Jamesonâs home was raided, authorities found a handwritten letter that said: âyouâve allowed Donald Trump to give Al Quds away to the Jews,â seemingly referencing President Donald Trumpâs decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Jameson, a former US Marine, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the plot.
