FSogol's JournalI dove into the DU archives to see what DU posted on June 18, 1972*. Heres what I found:
* June 18, 1972, if you may remember was the day that the Washington Post reported on a break in at the DNC office in the Watergate Hotel in DC.
(Note: I’ve redacted the user names to protect the innocent)
Here’s some threads I found from 6/18/1972
I think Woodward and Bernstein took the bait tonight..

So, basically, they have nothing
Shame Woodward and Bernstein Shame!
Y’all have been watching too much damn teevee. No one gets a single clue that brings everything down and everything doesn’t get wrapped up neatly at the end of the hour like in a police drama on some crappy network. All the Presidents Men didn’t take 2 hours to solve; it was months and months of investigations.
Report of the break in: 6/18/1972
Nixon Resigns: 8/9/1974
PS Woodward and Bernstein continued to uncover stuff into 1976.

Amid Islamophobia and travel bans, one mosque offers a lesson in caring
Let’s take a look.
Because all the activity at the All Dulles Area Muslim Society’s branch in Chantilly? It’s a free medical clinic.
The ADAMS Compassionate Healthcare Network has been open for nearly three years and has treated hundreds of patients, including refugees, day laborers and military veterans.
Local Mosque operates a free medical clinic open to all.
Great article by Petula Dvorak in today's Washington Post

So, I'm at a local pub last night hanging out with some old mountaineering buddies and we get roped
into playing pub trivia.
One of the questions was: What was the name of Hilter's Nazi Party?
To which my friend shouts out, "The GOP."
Entire bar erupts in laughter.

Va. man charged with hate crime after using Muslim slurs, biting victims face, police say
Source: Washington Post
A McLean man is facing hate crime charges after police said he bit another man’s face in November after an altercation in which he used anti-Muslim slurs.
Robin McGreer, 35, approached a 31-year-old man in a Tysons Corner Center parking lot Nov. 27, started a conversation and then threatened him using anti-Muslim slurs, Fairfax County police said.
An altercation ensued and McGreer bit the man’s face, leaving him with a “significant face wound,” police said. McGreer left the scene before police arrived.
The victim was taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries that were not life-threatening, police said. Fairfax police said it is the department’s policy not to release details about victims’ backgrounds, so they would not describe the victim’s race or religion.

Anyone have a list of what Trump promised to do in his 1st 100 days?
