What is the most shocking news you have heard recently?

The US ripping children away from their parents at the border.

That if you think only citizens can vote you are racist! Chuck Schumer quote.

Oh! And regarding ripping children etc is The fault/responsibity of the parents/country of Mexico!

The Caracas Venezuela stock market fell 99.9% last year and has recovered 200%. Inflation should be out of control by now. The scary part is how few are mentioning any detail on the news.

^^ If that is true, it is remarkable.

@Patty_Melt Venezuela’s stock market is booming for all the wrong reasons

I thought that was probably the case.
remarkable, regrettable, and ready for opportunists.

Trump beats Hillary. (Nothing since surprises me!)

Trump got Justice Kennedy to retire by getting his son a job.

That the son of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy was instrumental in Trump receiving over a billion dollars in loans from Deutsche Bank and now he (Kennedy) is retiring from the SC without any prior indication that he had a mind to do so.

Coincidence? I think not.

Canada finally legalized recreational marijuana on October 17th 2018. Prime minister Justin Trudeau promised it if he was elected.

After Justice Kennedy announced his retirement, my swear jar got really full.

That Nikita Khrushchev was correct in his prediction!!!

Sometime between 1960–1964 Khrushchev told the Russian powers that be that it was time to stop wasting money by trying to take down the US. He suggested that they save themselves by doing NOTHING except to wait for the US to implode under its own power because all they’d have to do is walk in & take over. I laughed at the time thinking NEVER…well, I’m NOT laughing now!!!

That North Korea is not actually denuclearising.
No wait, what is the opposite of shocking?

@si3tech I call your statement about Schumer saying that as fake news as analyzed in this article.

For now Russia outsting Spain in Soccer World Cup is shocking news for me!! Those who follow soccer aka football outside USA will understand.
