Im sure it is bc humans are humans but why the hell would I dip my toe into fox news or some redneck blog. I am forced to confront my fb feed when I'm taking a dump at work and scrolling on the fone. Sure conservative stuff is far more annoying bc at least my Facebook friends are smart (there i go w the lib condescension)

Outgoing North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory “definitely” has a place in a new Trump administration, a source close to Donald Trump’s transition told the Charlotte Observer Tuesday.

“They’re definitely going to take care of him,” said the source, who asked not to be named because he’s not authorized to speak for the transition.

McCrory met with Trump last week at Trump Tower in New York City. The day before, he’d met backstage with Trump during the president-elect’s thank-you rally in Fayetteville.

There has been speculation that the governor could be tapped for the Federal Emergency Management Agency or find a job in the Transportation, Commerce or Energy departments. Trump has named Cabinet secretaries for the latter three agencies, but many other positions remain unfilled.

Also I don't even recognize those far-left orgs but don't see ones like AlterNet, Democracy Now and some others. I guess they would be in the blank space under Huffington.

it's good to remind other politicians in much of the country that aligning yourself with him may do yourself damage in 2018.
