That's kinda weird, youseff. He is certainly not the first person to subvert his personal dislike for a politician in order to get his policies enacted. If it was another context, and you agreed with the politician's policy, your reaction would likely be different.

i think you're being a little kind in labeling this as "personal dislike". He's excusing out and out lying. This can't be normalized to past situations.

Two days after Mayor de Blasio formally asked President Obama and Congress for up to $35 million in federal restitution for security outside traffic-snarled White House North, Congressional Republicans indicated that they are interested in fronting only a small percentage of the City's ask. A stopgap federal spending bill introduced Tuesday night includes $7 million for overtime incurred by state and local law enforcement between the November 8th election and President-elect Trump's January 20th inauguration.

"New York City taxpayers should not be on the hook for 80 percent of the national bill to protect our President-elect and his family's residence," the mayor said in a statement Wednesday. "We are counting on Congress to step up in the coming months to pay back what it owes our city. This is a national responsibility and the burden cannot fall alone on our city and police department."

The cost of protecting Trump, a known homebody, has been estimated at about $1 million a day (though Mayor de Blasio's $35 million ask comes to $500,000 per day).

This one really hurts. We were really starting to improve. FUCK!

On Nov. 7, the hashtag #pizzagate first appeared on Twitter. Over the next several weeks, it would be tweeted and retweeted hundreds or thousands of times each day.

An oddly disproportionate share of the tweets about Pizzagate appear to have come from, of all places, the Czech Republic, Cyprus and Vietnam, said Jonathan Albright, an assistant professor of media analytics at Elon University in North Carolina. In some cases, the most avid retweeters appeared to be bots, programs designed to amplify certain news and information.

“What bots are doing is really getting this thing trending on Twitter,” Albright said. “These bots are providing the online crowds that are providing legitimacy.”

Online, the more something is retweeted or otherwise shared, the more prominently it appears in social media and on sites that track “trending” news. As the bots joined ordinary Twitter users in pushing out Pizzagate-related rumors, the notion spread like wildfire. Who programmed the bots to focus on that topic remains unknown.
