America

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) staged a nationwide training event Saturday to make sure people are aware of their rights as protesters and urge organized, public resistance by those opposed to policies of President Donald Trump.

A month ago Kellyanne Conway pointed out the media's role in "emboldening" violent protesters (in this case at Berkeley).

Per The Hill:

The news, even the 'fake news' and 'alternative news' has been reduced to the bottom of the Maslow pyramid, personalizing things while dismantling the small amount of journalistic integrity that existed.  The only next lower step is name calling "you are stupid-head, poopy face" or throwing food.  Liberals are angry that Trump won, Trump supporters are angry that liberals are so angry, blacks are angry because one of their own is out; women are angry because a "Man" is President, what's next?

"Fear of missing out" is quickly becoming the go to phrase for what's left of America's stock market investors. As The Wall Street Journal reports, investors have poured money into stocks through mutual funds and exchange-traded funds in 2017, with global equity funds posting record net inflows in the week ended March 1 based on data going back to 2000, according to fund tracker EPFR Global. Inflows continued the following week, even as the rally slowed.

Back in 2010, amid the furore over the Democrat's healthcare tax - soon to be nicknamed 'Obamacare' - Nancy Pelosi explained to the world, seemingly ignorant of the inaneness of what she was saying, that "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it."
