New York mayor considers Christopher Columbus statue removal
https://www.theguardian.com/us-n…(erected in 1892 to mark 400 years after explorer’s voyage)
- excelentSalarrue
- dunno about removing them all, why not use it as a chance to educateGreedo
- why not add hand-chopping statues next to it? fun for all.Greedo
- It seems more like a goal to establish an image of politics and political correctness. Article glosses over other controversial aspects of Christopher Columbus********

- Dems can excuse themselves in taking financial responsibility from Bush, but to also take credit from Trump in rising optimism over tax cuts is absurd.********
- but either way omg his tweet was retarded like yourself.fadein11
- Obama is given credit for rising optimism for 7 solid years straight, by republicans and democrats, and that is many even debatable.monospaced

Christopher Columbus statue vandalized in NY as monument debate heats up
- there's a playground across the street from my house. kids have tantrums all the time there, tooGnash
- Shouldn't they just extend the statue to him holding a chinese map and have him standing on a few indians. More accuratemugwart
- I'm from Portugal and I support this. I'm not a fan of our History neither I'm I proud. They teach us that we discovered the World. Fuck that!********
- All the statues we have could from my opinion come down. This is a glorification of conquests and expense of human lives.********
- And this cult of personality so Christian...the image, the representation...********
- By the way Columbus was Spanish, not Portuguese. We already have too many people like this we don't need one more.********
- but that's me. by "I support this" I officially meant the removal not the vandalism. officially.********
- but I don't want to impose this or force it. I find it healthy to be discussed and to be questioned.********
- it's this kind of nonsense that makes the alt right feel so validated.inteliboy
- being triggered is normalized...robotron3k
- hm...I see this statues as a provocation. why glorify blood, death, destruction and rape in the first place?********
- A provocation to who? it's acknowledging exploration, not the violence that ensued.Gnash
- Naive to think the natives weren't raping, enslaving and butchering each other, as well.Gnash
- do we ignore the achievements of all but the purest of souls? of which there are none, of course. even mother teresa had her darkness.Gnash
- oey - Columbus was actually an Italian whose explorations were sponsored by the Spanish Monarchy - not that I give 2 shits...ronburgundy
- Talking bout the purest of souls, wasn't Jesus' mother a prostitute? Perhaps a lack of forgiveness creates anger and a platform for hate to destroy monuments..********
- ... of other people's culture.********
- How is this any different, other than differences in religious belief, than splashing red swastikas on a synagogue?********
- If talking slavery I'm sure those religious textbooks are filled with many stories.********
- It's all ridiculous. The focus on Columbus in schools was that he battled the flat Earth as a brave explorer.********
- what's wrong in being a prostitute?********
- I'm not sure if Columbus was Italian, are you sure? I guess you didn't get the joke the first time.********
- @ Gnash: tell me something new.********
- The POV could elude sexism and misogyny********
- old news, I know, I just believe you're mistaken, oey.Gnash
- I understand your viewpoint, believe me. And I will not say that I'm right and you're wrong.********
- and his name was not christopher...LOL!
I know but still, I thought one wouldn't translate names.********

"Former CIA officer Valerie Plame was roughly $1 billion short of her goal to buy a major stake in Twitter and persuade the publicly traded company to ban President Donald Trump -- so she started a GoFundMe campaign to raise that sum and, as the page says, "#BuyTwitter and delete Trump's account.""

This article from about a week ago, overlooked at the time because of the Charlottesville incident, contains some pretty explosive allegations. Should be taken with a grain of salt of course but nothing would surprise me anymore TBH.
https://www.spectator.co.uk/2017…
Trump's most recent partner in "selling a lot of condos" was a man called Felix Sater. Sater was once jailed for stabbing a man in the face with the broken stem of a martini glass. He was convicted of massive stock fraud -- a partnership between the Russian and Italian American mafias -- but stayed out of jail by becoming an FBI informant.
For several weeks there have been rumors that Sater is ready to rat again, agreeing to help Mueller.
"He has told family and friends he knows he and POTUS are going to prison," someone talking to Mueller’s investigators informed me.
Sater hinted in an interview earlier this month that he may be cooperating with both Mueller’s investigation and congressional probes of Trump.
"In about the next 30 to 35 days, I will be the most colourful character you have ever talked about," Sater told New York Magazine. "Unfortunately, I can’t talk about it now, before it happens. And believe me, it ain’t anything as small as whether or not they’re gonna call me to the Senate committee."
Sater and Manafort together would pose a deadly threat to Trump's presidency if they testify that Russian money in his businesses led to information being exchanged with Russian intelligence. This is exactly the relationship -- an "exchange running between them for at least eight years" -- that the former MI6 officer Christopher Steele described in his "dossier". At a news conference last week at his New Jersey golf club, the President bizarrely asserted that the Steele dossier had been paid for by Russia in order to damage him.
This is the latest twist in Trump's response to the dossier, which began with flat denials in January that he had been filmed by Russian intelligence with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel room.
That remains unproven. Nevertheless, Steele is not the only source. I heard of Russian kompromat -- compromising material -- on Trump from two sources months before the Steele dossier came to light. That might be evidence for Trump's statements that Russian intelligence, as well as the US agencies, are out to get him. There are, though, reports of witnesses in the hotel who corroborate Steele's reporting.
These include an American who's said to have seen a row with hotel security over whether the (alleged) hookers would be allowed up to Trump's suite. The dossier's account of hookers in a Moscow hotel room was the subject of gossip among a select group of journalists, politicians and intelligence people for months before it was published. Now, claims are circulating of more tapes showing even more extreme behavior. Expect these allegations to emerge in due course.
