    Took a two month vacation, now it's on to the 2018 mid-term. Can't wait to make more money betting on opposite his favorite pick.

    "By July 18, Jones was living in a “personal hell,” largely orchestrated by alt-right commenter Milo Yiannopoulos. Yiannopolous, a “professional troll” who makes all millennials look bad, tweeted some truly disgusting things at the comedian. Along with his dedicated troll army, the unfunny asshole doctored fake tweets from Leslie, wrote disgusting reviews of Ghostbusters, and sent Jones obscene, racist images, including Photoshopped gorillas. Jones responded by exposing her attackers on the internet and pleading with Twitter to increase its security. When help wasn’t forthcoming, she quit Twitter altogether, “With tears and a very sad heart.” It was a dark day for the Twitter community and a frustrating victory for hateful cowards with amateur Photoshop skills.

    In the wake of Jones’s harassment, internet admirers took up the hashtag #LoveForLeslieJ to advocate for change on the infamously under-regulated social media platform. In response, “woke” Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey finally lived up to the promise of his T-shirt, reaching out to Leslie personally and permanently banning her chief abuser. Yiannopoulos wrote an inflammatory response, which hardly anyone read because he couldn’t tweet it. Seems about right. "

    If it hasn't been said yet I'll be the first to say it,I think we(Democrats) are fucked in 2018.I don't see Dems picking up any net seats in Congress.My biggest hope for 2018 is the Republicans don't get a filibuster proof Senate.

    Nothing racist about that. Grow some balls, you pussy. Not everyone has to agree with you or cater to you. Grow up.

    It was some of his followers that provided racist commentary, etc. Not Milo. Please, as Max requested, back up your "Milo is a racist" with some actual comment from Milo that is racist.

  7. So Milo wasn't the flutist, he was only the conductor?

    Funny, but that implies he condoned their behavior. Blaming Milo for some idiot on twitter that follows him is not exactly fair.
