It has nothing to do with correct grammar and syntax, which are of no importance so long as one makes one's meaning clear, or with the avoidance of Americanisms, or with having what is called a "good prose style.
Everyone seems to ignore this sentence, perhaps because Orwell seems to be a pedant?
when you make a stupid remark its stupidity will be obvious, even to yourself. Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
This keys his entire argument.

Who also says when you talk about someone's dialect, ["you talkin' 'bout dey mamma's." ]
"Rosina Lippi-Green (1997), in her provocative book English with an Accent, argues that at this point, attitudes about language (for her, specifically accent, but a wider generalization can be made) remain the last “back door” to discrimination; it is acceptable to judge others on their language— and, as important, to express those judgments—in a way that it is no longer socially acceptable to do with other aspects of identity. Speakers may think that they are."
In their book American English, Walt Wolfram and Natalie Schilling-Estes (1998, 281-84) point out thal Stan

Pull the camera back, and Trump can be viewed as part of a deadly serious wave of authoritarians and xenophobes who have come to power in Russia, Poland, and Hungary, and who lead such movements as the National Front, in France, and the Independence Party, in the United Kingdom.

Talk about brilliant: Fox News orchestrated a round of applause for a bigoted and unconstitutional policy proposal.
Thanks for witnessing to this.
Washington will be, once again, consumed with finding elusive bipartisan common ground. There will be no talk of breaking up the banks, free public college tuition, single-payer health care or a trillion-dollar infrastructure investments, either in Clinton’s inaugural address or her initial speech to her first joint session of Congress.
Yep.
Her husband, Bill Clinton, was famously dubbed America’s “first black president” because of his background, behavior and the admiration he earned from some in the African-American community during his time in office.
No. That's not why he was called that. Here's why he was called that: http://gettased.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Mr. Christie, 53, took the message as deeply disrespectful and patronizing, questioning why “a 44-year-old” was telling him about his future, said people who described his reaction on the condition of anonymity.
Real Housewives of the Republican Party. Drama.
Of Mr. Trump, Mr. McConnell has said, “We’ll drop him like a hot rock,” according to his colleagues.

Good reporting here 'cause it's true and underreported.
The Democrats wanted to keep the issue alive to use it as a wedge against the Republicans and to establish themselves as owners of the Hispanic vote.
This seems hackish. It seems to me the Democrats have a very clear solution to this issue and would love to put it to rest. The Republicans, however, won't allow it.
Things descended further when Hugh Hewitt, the conservative talk-show host, who for God-knows-what reason was chosen to co-moderate CNN’s debates, decided to focus on religious liberty. Instead of asking about, say, the fact that the three leading candidates on stage had all made gross comments about Islam—with Trump of course calling to ban Muslims from entering the country—Hewitt decided to focus on cupcake-baking Christians whose liberty is apparently being threatened by gay-marriage supporters. It’s bad enough that the entire Republican Party seems to view racism in America as something that happens to white people, and American religious bigotry as something that targets Christians; it’s even worse when CNN’s questions appear to tacitly support the latter assumption.
Well said.
His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.
Best sentence in the English language?
what I am saying is that the United States President needs to do what is best for America, without any concern whatsoever for what the Europeans or the Asians or the Mexicans think
I'm not sure that's not being uncharacteristically short sighted of James. On the surface, such self-centeredness might seem right, but can we extract our interests from "the Europeans or the Asians or the Mexicans?" Isn't it in our interest to be concerned with others?
Trump gets a grossly disproportionate share of the attention, and thus a disproportionate share of the idiot vote. I
Indeed.

Yes. It's the evolution of what the album is, what work is in this current network system we inhabit. Why does it ever have to finish?
According to the entrance poll in Nevada, Clinton won black voters 76 percent to 22 percent. To put that in context, Clinton’s margin is only slightly smaller than Barack Obama’s 83 percent to 14 percent win with black voters in the 2008 Nevada caucuses.
That will happen in a bigger scale in South Carolina, it looks like.

Because the FBI will not hire anyone with a 24-inch purple mohawk, 10-gauge ear piercings, and a tattooed face who demands to smoke weed while working and won't work for less than a half-million dollars a year.
