Edition #3-9

You might have seen it: A Dreamer Day ad that states all undocumented Americans will receive any item on the Starbucks menu 40% off on Aug. 11. Except theres a problem: Theres no such thing as Dreamer Day at the coffee chain.
The idea is a hoax, spread on the internet in an attempt to trick undocumented Americans into outing their citizenship status at their local Starbucks.
BuzzFeed News reveals that the idea came from 4chan, after posters on the board /pol/ kicked around an Undocumented Immigrant Day for Starbucks. According to an archived thread, the plan was to name a liberal place for all illegals to go at once and demand free stuff. Another poster suggested calling ICE, essentially deporting immigrants so it would cripple their business a bit.
We have to get ICE involved if we get it rolling, another poster wrote. Where else do these faggot liberals hang out?

(CNN)Alt-right activists held torches and marched late Friday through the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville.
Chanting "blood and soil" and "one people, one nation, end immigration," the group rallied around a statue of Thomas Jefferson before they clashed with counterprotesters, CNN affiliate WWBT reported.
The march came hours before a Saturday rally that police anticipate will attract as many as 2,000 to 6,000 people, in an event that could be the "largest hate-gathering of it's kind in decades in the United States," as described by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Before the group left the university's grounds when police arrived and ruled it unlawful assembly, outraged city and UVA officials condemned Friday's gathering.

OK ok ok lets get one thing straight here. They didnt hold actual torches. They held TIKI brand torches. I mean if youre really going to intimidate someone, use a Citronella torch! Dont use TIKI brand crap! I dont need endorsement money, Im just a fan!

After pro-Trump outlet The Gateway Pundit drew attention to the SPLC report, which noted that rumors abound on white nationalist forums that Kesslers ideological pedigree before 2016 was less than pure and seem to point to involvement in the Occupy movement and past support for President Obama, fringe right-wing media figures and hyperpartisan fake news purveyors quickly jumped on the claim. Longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone, who is also a host at the conspiracy theory outlet Infowars, tweeted the Gateway Pundit article, writing, Oops ! Charlottesville White Supremacist" was an Obama Supporter/Occupy protestor (sic) #fishy #falseflag #SorosOp. Fake news purveyor Conservative Daily Post suggested the rally was organized by the left to shatter Trumps base and depict conservatives as white supremacists.

No, theres no need for basic voodoo hypnotism. Trump is doing a perfectly good job of demonizing himself, Lance.
