Following the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting on February 14th many of the young survivors have transformed into gun control advocates and formed an advocacy group called Never Again MSD , which began to gain traction on Twitter with the use of the hashtag # NeverAgain . Several prominent media personalities and politicians have praised the group of students on their activism, which has lead to the increasingly popular "the kids are alright", while many others admire their passion. The 'Never Again' facebook group created by the surviving students has amassed nearly 139,000 followers since the shooting, with celebrities such as George Clooney and Oprah Winfrey donating $500,000 each to the cause. As the kids fiercely fight to ensure that such shootings never take place again, several on the political right have began to mock the survivors without remorse, with criticisms ranging from "seventeen dead children doesn't affect my Second Amendment rights

A conservative freedom-loving woman from Arizona made a rather laughable claim targeted at what she sees as droves and droves of illegal immigrants finding a weak spot in the US-Mexico Border at the Naco, Arizona entry point, as this is this the closest point from her stated location. There's just a few slight  problems with her theory. Here we have the US-Mexico Border which shuts the two countries off from each other, shown by the thin blue line. The blue icon with the letter "A" is the entry point at Naco and the icon with the letter "B" is Ramage's reported location of Sierra Vista. The problem here is that it would take roughly forty-two minutes, by car, to go between these two locations. Therefore, unless Leslie is driving to the border each day and watching handfuls of Mexican immigrants cross into America, she couldn't possibly see them, so she's basically a massive liar. Furthermore, if illegal immigration is an issue she cares deepl

National Public Radio reporter Tim Mak recently discovered one of what is two dating websites solely aimed at Donald Trump supporters, with a catch - NO gays allowed. Should you decide to "find your Pro-Trump match today", you must have no attraction for the same sex whatsoever, I guess the Pro-Trump twitter users "@SassyGayRepublican" or  "@ConservGayGuy"  will be out of luck while trying to find their politically like-minded partners, the sheer irony. Hilarious comments have been made about the Trump only dating site, with Jess Dweck calling the site "OkStupid", while Patrick Monahan used Donald Trump's campaign slogan to great effect with "Make Meeting On A Dating Site Something To Be Embarrassed About Again", or my own personal favourite, "KKK Date". Speaking of white supremacist groups, Twitter user Nick Jones attempted to sign up to the site with the username "whitepower", but with this site being for

Thankfully, Roy Moore is now a defeated Alabama Senate candidate as opposed to being the man heading to represent Alabama in Washington and this is mainly due to several women who came forward to claim that Moore had made advances to them while they were under the age of consent, with Moore being in his early thirties. A little while later, allegations surfaced that former Democratic Senator Al Franken had inappropriately groped several women, with around eight women coming forward. Now for the hypocrisy. Several Democrats decided to use their Twitter platform to try and protest Franken's innocence, with an account even named "Al Franken is innocent", from an extremely pro-Democrat account, we're sure there is no partisanship to see here, none whatsoever. In steps Ted Cruz, who somehow manages to be more sectarian than the "Democrats are always right by definition, because Democrats are the good guys" group of people. Cruz made an appearance on the
