Over the last five years, more than 10,000 people were hanged at Syrian prison Saydnaya. A new report released by Amnesty International indicates that once, sometimes twice a week, 50 people at a time were taken out of their prison cells and hanged to death. The mass hangings aren't the only atrocity. Reportedly, detainees were tortured and kept in squalor. Pulled from their cells in the middle of the night. Prisoners were beaten and then transferred to another prison building before being hanged to death.

From the time it passed with zero Republican support, GOP politicians have promised to repeal Obamacare. There were numerous House votes to repeal Obamacare while President Obama was still in office, almost all of which were symbolic. No way would President Obama sign off on a bill repealing his hallmark legislation. President Trump also promised repeal and replacement of Obamacare, and that it would be done quickly. But quickly is relative. In a pre-Super Bowl interview with Fox News' Bill O'Reilly Sunday, President Trump said it could take a year to repeal Obamacare.

This seems like a worthy cause and not at all petty and childish. First opened in 1971, Disney World's Hall of Presidents is a park mainstay. The hall features animatronic versions of each American president and since its opening, has been updated with a new robot each election cycle.

As Aleister pointed out this morning, you don't have to like or care about a speaker to be concerned about the willingness to shut down speech deemed "offensive." Co-founder of Vice media Gavin McInnes was speaking to a College Republican club at NYU Thursday night when protesters stormed the lecture hall.

No one can take a joke these days, especially not media outlets driven by confirmation bias. The Daily Mail was the first outlet to report Supreme Court Justice nominee Neil Gorsuch started a club in high school called "Fascism Forever". Touted as an "exclusive", The Daily Mail must've obtained a copy of a yearbook. Rather than focus on the numerous conservative tendencies of the young Gorsuch, also included in the yearbook, the Daily Mail ran with the clearly satirical "Fascism Forever Club."

For all the hubbub over "fake news", major news outlets are making a name for themselves peddling misinformation and inaccurate reports. Like this New York Times report. Here's how the NYT ran the story:

The 2016 election cycle and subsequent presidential coverage made painfully clear the disconnect between the political media and the rest of the real world. East Coast and particularly Beltway elites could not wrap their heads around Trump's win and for good reason -- they do not experience or live in the same world as the country that elected Trump president. As they've learned, the world does not revolve around D.C. or Manhattan. Which explains why Reuters Editor-in-Chief Steve Adler sent a very public memo to staffers (no accident there) reminding them what journalism is and how it ought to be conducted.

Trump made an unscheduled trip to Delaware to honor William "Ryan" Owens, a Navy SEAL and the first casualty during Trump's administration. Fox News reports:

After intense blowback and promises of confirmation obstruction for Trump's SCOTUS nominee, Neil Gorsuch, Trump suggested the Senate employ the "Nuclear Option" to move Judge Gorsuch to Justice Gorsuch. The Nuclear Option would allow the Senate to confirm Gorsuch with a simple majority as opposed to 60 votes. "Mitch, go nuclear," Trump said in a press conference Wednesday:

Less than two weeks into retirement and President Obama is already joining in on post-Obama fun. In his first post-presidential announcement, Obama lauded protesters. “Citizens exercising their Constitutional right to assemble, organize and have their voices heard by their elected officials is exactly what we expect to see when American values are at stake," said Kevin Lewis, Obama spokesman.
