So the President of the Alternative Facts of America (aka Agent Orange) wants to give Venezuelans their oily freedom? If I were a Canadian, living in an oily Canadian province, I'd be afraid, very afraid.

Arguing for legal discrimination is weird. Arguing the "slippery slope" that will happen if the baker is not successful is even weirder. If the baker is successful anyone will be able to discriminate for any reason and just chalk it up to religion. A doctor could refuse to give you emergency medical treatment and claim it would be against his religion. Again, the baker agreed in writing to abide by Colorado law. He was in flagrant violation of the law.

When there were 'decent' high-school-diploma-and-less JOBS on the market, such as the one my daddy had that provided for a stay-at-home mommy and 2 kids with decent food, a mortgage on a decent house, a new car every 7-10 years... you know, when a good old average Joe could get his elbows dirty and actually have something nice to show for it and it was proportional to the productivity that was coming out of Canadian & American manufacturing... well... Weed was more than illegal it was vilified. I don't think it's an unrelated coincidence that as the prospects for attaining the 'AMERICAN DREAM' are... vaporizing, hehehe - we see governments scramble to relax Weed laws. When you can't get your hands on the 'real thing,' you'd better be able to get your hands on that thing(s) that promotes contentedness despite not being able to get your hands on the 'real thing,' and now that even college grads face crap jobs & little upward mobility, Weed is on the table now to quell revolution...

No problem. Those who flunk out of Bama can always go to Harvard.

God help us if it's folks like you who get to decide who that is.

jeezus Lesia, it's 5 mins to 1! don't you have work tomorrow? or did you quit to troll online full-time? as for my opinions, those are based on things i see, read and hear. you are the one presenting your view of the situation as fact. oh and the "two possibilites" that you've allowed me aren't really the only ones, are they? anyhoo, i'm beat and going to sleep. i don't see much reason to continue our dialogue. i'll just look out for you in the future, and will happily joke around at your expense. cheerio, and good morning to you i guess.. thought you were local. p.s. i wouldn't call you a ukrainian fascist in a skirt, but that doesn't mean you ain't one ;)

. "You sound liberal and can't acknowledge it, leading me to believe you can't figure his out. " - Not 100% sure what you're trying to say there but I'll try to respond anyway. I would describe myself as a "fiscally conservative liberal" or a "progressive conservative". As for your charge that I "can't acknowledge that", well, I always have, and I just did. I'm at a loss as to what "you can't figure his(sic) out" is referring to. If I translate "At least fox had anchors/journalists(not really journalists lol) that didn't approve of trump and approved. " correctly, I'll have to challenge you on that as the only Fox personality (they have no journalists) that wasn't obsequious about Trump was Megyn Kelly and she's gone now, isn't she? As regards CNN, you apparently missed the CNN every-single-day-appearances of Jeffrey Lord, Kayleigh McEnany and other Trump-friendly panelists providing non-stop pro-Trump commentary at a level the opposite of which I never have observed on Fox.

This is what happens when you aim for the minimum. If you miss, then you fail. I strongly support public education. Unfortunately, the people running our schools don't seem up to the task of providing an education. Unfortunately, I haven't heard any solutions so on we go round and round with the only winners being the administrators.

what a lot of people don't know is that tony produced Thin Lizzy Live album a long time ago . Live is kind of a joke because there was tons of overdubs some say . Anyway I loved the album and played the crap out of it . P.J.

Good for OSU, the University that cares about Oregon's students.

Still drinking the liberal kool-aid?

I'm skeptical of the supernatural. Anyway, WE can't perform miracles so must operate within the limits of the natural world.

Puny person.

The night Cliven Bundy flew to PDX and was arrested, the Bundy Ranch Facebook page was screaming with calls for people to head to burns, including calling all militias. I wonder what color the sky is in their world? This isn't rallying fans to a high school basketball game, this is criminal stuff. This is calling the militias, the ones who pointed guns at BLM people at Bunkerville, to come do it again. Feb 6th, 6:53 PM post WAKE UP AMERICA! WAKE UP WE THE PEOPLE! WAKE UP PATRIOTS! WAKE UP MILITA! IT'S TIME!!!!! CLIVEN BUNDY IS HEADING TO THE HARNEY COUNTY RESOURCE CENTER IN BURNS OREGON. Then at 8:31 PM Bundy Ranch: HEAD TO BURNS NOW!!! GATHER AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AND GO NOW!!! WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED!

Otto, I simply provide facts which I can, and do, support with valid evidence. What anyone does with these facts is entirely up to them, however, it is my firm belief that citizens need, and have a right to, accurate facts and information on which to base rational decisions. When I want a plumber, I want one who is appropriately educated, trained, and knowledgeable enough to provide me with the proper information and recommendations for which I have hired him to do. Having little knowledge of plumbing, I would not assume that I knew more than this specialist in his field, simply because I had been fed misinformation from unqualified persons who oppose his recommendations for their own, personal reasons. When PA needs recommendations on appropriate structure for a bridge which your family will frequently cross, to whom do you wish your leaders to listen, engineers who are specialists in bridge structure, or to the "fluoride action network"?

In Trump's thinking it probably goes like this: "I am in trouble. I will first lie because it's a free strategy. I will hire a lawyer if the lies don't work because it's still pretty cheap. As a final strategy, because it's expensive, I will buy off the whole mess but include non disclosure clauses. In the end winning is priceless"

Can we include sheep and horses also? Its the right thing to do and is fair. I would hate to discriminate.

In stead of reminding people that prices can fall, how about you make them fall by increasing interest rates. Put the pin in the bubble!!

Until all western nations tie any aid or assistance to the requirement that countries accept entrenched human rights for all and ban religious beliefs to the home, these conflicts and the extreme misery will continue. In this respect the world needs to take a hard stance to prevent future misery and death. But a quick read of discussion threads on web sites such as Al Jezeera is disheartening. People say it is 'god's will' and just move on, like zombies. It is tragic that more will die, but we must not become entwined in their absurd, cruel and ignorant societies. We must help extinguish ISIS then stand firm on tying aid to modern human rights laws for all.

I get what you're saying about "Born to Run", but don't agree with you about "Damn the Torpedoes". It's revelatory to watch the documentary about the making of that Tom Petty album - Iovine talking about how they'd do 30 takes of a song, with 30 different guitars, just to determine which one gave them the "right" tone for that song, or how adding the barely-heard shaker to the background of "Refugee" made all the difference. It's that attention to minute detail that made the best albums from that era so great, and it's something that desktop computer recording studios, Autotune, and the condensation of MP3s have made virtually extinct, unfortunately. Iovine at his best (Patti Smith's "Easter" album is another great example) was unbelievable.

LPGA officials should not be accepting phone calls/emails from viewers, especially if the so-called infraction occurred the day before. No other sport allows for this. I feel sorry for Lexi as she should have won the tournament.

CanadaRob3, I'd be surprised if the judge hasn't made scores of evidentiary and procedural rulings, some in favour of the accused, some in favour of the prosecution. I wouldn't jump to a conclusion of bias based on a few media accounts.

I am English yet I have followed the US election from the primaries until now. I must admit that I would never have expected Donald Trump to get the nomination in the first place; however, he did. I never expected him to defeat Hilary Clinton in the final vote; he did. I suppose it was his comb-over which made me initially to dismiss him. Having heard the debates I concluded that Hilary was an atrocious candidate without taking her stance on abortion but that stance upon abortion was in contravention of the explicit teaching of the Catholic Church. In this situation no good Catholic, aware of the teaching of the Church could in good conscience vote Democrat. Donald Trump has never specifically advocated anything contra to what the Catholic Church teaches. He is not a Catholic I grant you but then neither was Constantine when he promoted Catholicism and spread it throughout the known world at the time.

Good lord it looks like mr. zipper plat is being duped by alt-right fake news just as the so called president is. It's a plague of ignorance and even the POTUS is immune to the affliction. Anything that reinforces that latent need to hate, fear and look down on some other group is swallowed whole and never ever questioned. What next?

"The real world?" What is it you think State employees do? Here's a hint: they're Alaskans just as much as you are, with lives and families and everything, and they've all been given a pay cut by our dysfunctional legislature.

Don't be fooled people, Boston is one of the most bigoted cities in the US.

I wasn't calling for the false posters to be stopped, just noting their appearance. Why is it that conservatives always think in such reactionary terms? Sad, really.

Geez and you want us to believe that it's only the Rep.'s who's for the Rich to get Richer. What a fine Political Liberal Democrat of an example of the Rich keeping it riches we got here.. theDonald wanted to tax your millions of dollars Estate and you want NO part of it? "sigh" where's your fight for sharing the Riches wealth? "smh"

Yeah right. Then there will be even less housing a avilable to low income people and more old folks will be living on the street. Retrofitting old buildings for sprinklers is difficult and very expensive. If the owners are forced to do it, they will mostly condominiumize or scrape and build new . Either thing puts more housing out of reach for most low income people.

I am sure if you go back far enough you can dig up some dirt on Sir John A, but why? as Junior says " because itsssth 2016", that's why.

Yes but we are talking about a man who praised a brutal dictator on the international stage, the fool still thinks we live in the 70s!!! His credibility is free falling.

Aksiman: The scariest word in wildlife population management is "balance".

I was involved in the pro life movement in my youth, grew disillusioned with their agenda but stayed for 10 years because of some visionary people who thought the cause could be enfolded in other human life causes, including capital punishment, amnesty, immigration, rights for women, rights for people with disabilities, etc. But most pro life people weren't interested in any agenda that supported feminism and most of the people in the other human rights causes were suspicious of pro-life people. When they started attacking LGBT people, that was it. There was quite the hateful little coterie of people in my city, some of whom eventually turned into the ORIGINAL Lifesite News. Ashamed to say I ever gave these folks the time of day but I was young and stupid. I was a committed feminist, and it was painful to experience the rejection of other feminists as well.

As a life long part of Adventist Health, I couldn't resist the temptation to tease us. :-)

No, come on! You can't be serious! Cal is still alive?

It seems he spends little time interacting with them himself unless it's for a photo op. He sends his lawyers to interact with them when they get fed up and sue for payment. Many don't, because they can't afford endless litigation against his legal army. He is not the friend of the working man, especially not of those who have had the misfortune of working on many of his projects. He claims "sub-par" work so that he can get away with cheating his contractors and subcontractors. He hasn't paid his bills for his hotel in DC - the same one he is using to make a personal profit with (along with his golf clubs) when he chooses to entertain "officially" at his own properties instead of in the White House. The taxpayers pick up the tab - but the White House dinners don't make him a profit, so he prefers to do his lavish 'official" entertaining at his own properties. Just one more conflict of interest. And he called Hillary a crook.

Stop putting people in jail simply because they can't afford bail. Problem solved.

"The years in which police were the enemy, raiding bathhouses and rounding up gay people, are over." > Yes now we are in the years of the police snooping on your internet or cell phone, sniffing your house for weed and pulling you over for random checks.

Not true? Here see for yourself. I'd sooner watch and learn then read it anyways. Yep looks to be civil unrest wouldn't you say? Don't know how it started and don't care but I certainly won't deny that it's happening. https://youtu.be/aJXvHRsjzBQ https://youtu.be/zrslNEGOYpM https://youtu.be/1jWM8Ry9kxM https://youtu.be/2-_-UNEePY8 https://youtu.be/NULc1tgyf7A Not sure what civil unrest is supposed to look like. But I can only assume this is it. Let me guess though it's not true anymore.

I'll leave it in the hands of the library staff. They can figure it out.

Your posts on this thread are all so bitter, NanakuliBoss, one suspects you are suffering stage four TTSD (trump traumatic stress disorder), especially since the hand of Providence intervened last November to rescue us from the tender mercies of one of the truly horrific, Caligula-like, maniacal bottom feeders of our era, Felony-Shrillary. As HAL 9000 calmly advised Dave Poole (after he made his unlikely and unexpected re-entry into the long range space exploration vehicle that had been launched in search of the original monolith out somewhere near Jupiter - - sans helmet) in Kubrick’s classic 2001, A Space Odyssey, “Dave, you seem upset. Why don’t you take a stress pill.”

"Yes, but, why does the author not complain about Trump's a) threats to annihilate North Korea, b) threat of military intervention in Venezuela, c) threats against Iran and Syria?" Because he has you as a back up outrager.

I'm sure there'll be some good questions asked for the interview part. And some interesting answers.

It's gotta be tough for Phaneuf to be booed in his own rink by the visiting team's fans...I hope it doesn't happen again tonight....he stole a lot of money here for sure, but it's time to move on....

Honestly where can you drive in Norway. With their crippling taxation rate it is surprising that people can even eat.

Dr. Mequio is a very caring person and a great doc. My prayers for him and his family.

Dershowitz is a scumbag who vocally supported torture under the Bush regime. His "ethics" are whatever suits his whims from time to time. He is a perfect acolyte of the Blue Church. A really bad man.

Clearly not enough, or the states (including GOP controlled states) would not be losing their collective minds over the cuts made by this clusterf*ck of a Wealthcare bill.

diverdave, dangerous people shouldn't be allowed to enter the US, but banning all people from any particular country is unreasonable, especially because a Homeland Security Department report concludes that immigrants from the six countries covered by the second immigration executive order are unlikely to be terrorists based on their citizenship. It would give people a false sense of security.

Isn't it sad that someone, much less a Congress person has to "try" to get information on a bill? What a way to legislate!

I asked about it because like you, I assumed domestic prices would drop (supply & demand). I found it surprising that prices on domestic lumber are going up - on lumber that is definitely Canadian like western red cedar that never crosses the border.

Hannity is a trump clone if it's not good trump it's no trump on his show after all people who what Fox beleive in big foot,ufo,swamp monsters and all that made up tv crap.

So, in your rationale, you are suggesting that these people are protesting Trump? Amazingly clueless.

Stay healthy Marcus. Still believe you are going to be one the best QBs ever. Coaches need to keep players focused on game and not get involved in silly fouls and confrontations after big gains or touchdowns. After his touchdown pass, Marcus got a cheap shot hit and had to stop one his lineman from getting a penalty for standing up for him. He was taking a lot of cheap shots.

Icon66: some folks will use any opportunity to take a shot at President Obama and/or Ms. Obama. Rap is a "golden opportunity" since it affords a shot a Black culture and the Obamas both. a "two for one" as it were....... I'm not a big fan of Rap Music, nor am I a fan of "new country" music...so what..... I choose to listen to "Old Time Rock 'n Roll"...my choice. again, like GBA's condemnation of Rap....so what?

This is an amazing story. It is somewhat understandable because of Islamists and Islamic terror organizations. But these are not doing very well in terms of their own goals (more or less conquer the entire world). But they have managed to recruit surprisingly well using social media. Note, however, two things. First, the call by Islamic State that EVERY Moslem in the world drop everything and move to its territory to fight has been ignored by vastly more than 99% of the world's Moslems. Second, that more than a few of those who have so volunteered were not born and raised Moslems in any country. If you become informed, you will learn that what most Moslems term 'terrorists' or 'extremists' are very much feared inside their community. Because they have more knowledge of what being ruled, intimidated, or harassed by them means than most others do. It is unwise, indeed very counter productive, to equate being Moslem with being an Islamist. Most who fight them are in fact Moslems.

Yea feeding moose is a bad idea. 4 years ago a yearling bull marched right up to me on the back porch, came on the back porch, then tried to follow me in the HOUSE! I'm like pushing on his head, it's stuck inside the doorway; "NO, NO moose, you can't come in!

Congress was asked to repeal this Bush NCLB era testing by Obama. They didn't. Shocker!

A better point might be to know who your customers are, and don't antagonize them, rather than stake out a position. Being neutral is the do-no-harm option. The Uber situation is an example of a company whose clientele may skew towards younger and more liberal, and therefore not supportive of ties to Trump.

Yep...they're laughing at us...and here is the evidence.. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/cnn-russians-derogatory-financial-information-trump-advisors The dossier is currently unverified. What happens if it is verified.? More laughing...

I suppose that is better than all of Trump's creepy coke sniffs.

I really pictured you as more of a hair metal fan, not Dylan. Although there are a few lines in Positively 4th Street that I am sure people who know you find applicable...have you considered the frequency with which your comments fail to meet the standards of civility...perhaps time to consider the reflection of christianity you present to the world...by the way...I haven't taken a "sabbatical" but I was not posting much last week...I was dealing with a death in my family....probably something you consider hilarious....sigh...shameful...

"The Honolulu Star-Advertiser strives to make its news report fair and accurate." HA! HA! HA! HA! Maybe it's time to do less "striving" and more doing.

Again, you must be bald for all the head scratching over why he and another officer were placed on leave. Show us the police policy that states that the reward for doing a good job is leave.

Rational thinking points to the opposite.

The key is that Anne Murray isn't making the decision for the kid via articles in the Globe and Mail. She's letting her granddaughter make her own decisions when the time is right for her.

I'm exaggerating about China??? If anything I'm being conservative. See my response to Rich B and educate yourself. How do you know there is no markets in India???? As for the rest of your travel brochure... thanks but since it doesn't address anything I said it is kind of irrelevant.

John McCain may argue that.

you are confused,there is always talk of gun control after these events.

... processes out of control ... predictable and sad. When will our water resources start to be impacted ... any predictions?

Right. Because a niche bike share program in a well to do American city totally makes up for child labor overseas, making grotesquely overpriced shoes that don't even last very long. Slave wages, union busting... DO YOU LIKE OUR BIKE SHARE?

Equating the regulation of healthcare with "government seizure" is arguing an extreme. Shall we call the regulation of medical practice inherent in Medicare "seizure"? And just how is it that with all the capitalism going on in medical care that we spend the most for healthcare but have poor results compared to other countries with socialized medicine? Making a case by bringing up nationalizing food is apples and oranges. But if Caird does not like government interference in our food supply, then let's go back to the time of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. Anyone care for eating diseased cattle and meat with fly larvae? When making arguments against Democratic Socialism it is either that the plan can never happen or that one is seeking a utopia. It is neither. It is better than now but even with problems of its own.

Using this term for the Palestinians just belittles the cause of FN in Canada.

Kushner and Ivanka are working at the request of the President of the United States. They are working as unpaid aids to the President. If the President wants them to be working close to him in the White House then it is his prerogative, not yours. My comment is very relevant since First Ladies are not elected yet Hillary and Michelle both dictated policies. Your original comment is absurd since staffers are not elected officials.

I was just telling them who Harburg was, as should have been evident even to you. But I suppose you could not pass up an opportunity to make an inane, irrelevant sneer. You, who preach that others should be humble and Christlike, seem to think that nastiness for its own sake is good.

The wonders of diet and exercise have been touted as cures for obesity, depression, adhd, add, diabetes, cancer prevention, you name it. Good for you for researching. This story is about a six-year-old's struggle with and coping with diabetes. Atta boy, Oliver. What a champ, Oliver!! I wish you health and prosperity.

Good grief. Lights at football stadiums, airports, other outdoor venues. Maybe we should just shut the state down after sunset.

Except that you are not a U.S. citizen and the party you would perhaps support is less close to Catholic teaching than that of the Democrats.

There is no need for this cemetery to be beside people's homes. I have family members buried in cemeteries that are a bit outside of town and it's no hardship to visit the graves.

The article isn't wrong, but it's not really any of Canada's business. America has come to a political decision that these sorts of events represent acceptable losses to keep the gun culture they so value. That's their call to make. We can sympathize with the individual victims, but it's not really our place to chide their nation for their choice of priorities.

Anderson lied through his teeth at the Carlson deposition and the only thing that allowed him to do it with impunity is that popular public opinion gave him carte blanche to do exactly that. Popular public opinion is rarely correct.....especially when that opinion is formed by preying on emotions. In case you did not know, the lawyer work pool in America is saturated to the point to where the law firm my mother works for turns down lawyers applying for paralegal positions on a near daily basis. Anderson may have initially prosecuted a few legit cases, but in the end, he found a soft spot in the minds of the public, and he preyed upon it with amped up hyperbole for his own benefit......as any ambulance chasing tort attorney would do in the American legal system. That same practice would not last 5 minutes in the British system, or just about any other tort system in the world.

In all my years I have no idea that this was ever a problem in any facility I've use. Amazing how you can be 70 plus years old and not reaized you might have been secretly viewd by a pervert.

I would wish that everytime Batesta came to bat, it would be a close double at 2nd.. A sliding double.. With Odor there.. One more good hoof in the yap would do that guy good.. Batesta I mean.

"There is no right more basic in our democracy than the right to participate in electing our political leaders. We have made clear that Congress may not regulate contributions simply to reduce the amount of money in politics, or to restrict the political participation of some in order to enhance the relative influence of others." United States Supreme Court

Yes, that paradigm is understood. And in addition with the Philippine's becoming less open to having U. S. military there...it will be more likely that Hawaii is prime for presence and training. It does come at a cost because the impact of military presence leaves impact on the environment. Pearl Harbor and Kahoolawe are a good example of that.

58 points last week, 3 this week, and it's the officiating, not the team that normally caves your face in?

I am sure that Gerry drives up and down his "steep hill" without stopping. Try stopping and starting multiple times like a letter carrier has to and see how things go. Anyone that has driven in ice and snow knows that driving down the road is easy. Stopping, starting and turning are the challenges.... an action that postal vehicles have to perform multiple times a day on their routes. I get emails regularly from FedEx and UPS saying that my deliveries are delayed "due to inclement weather." Why is the Postal Service exempt from the same reasons for delays? And Gerry, if you are a business, get a PO box. Then you can drive to get your critical mail yourself. If it that important then that is what you should do. Quit whining.

With all due respect, this is often repeated baloney. Companies already "compete across state lines". That's why last year you could choose either the Oregon insurance company (Moda) or the Washington insurance company (Premera). I'm not aware that we have ever had an Alaskan health insurance company in the individual market. In my opinion, it looks like the Alaska market finally stabilized this year, although it's a bit early to know for sure.

By selling after the budget would mean the capital gain would be at the new budget rate unless they permit pro-rating gains over the period the gain was realized (which I doubt would be the case). I would speculate most selling of gainers would be before the budget is released to lock in gains at 50% and selling losers after the budget if the rate is increased to have the losses at 75% (assuming that is the new inclusion rate). Then buying back in, keeping in mind to wait long enough to ensure the loss is not considered superficial for tax purposes.

This is the same person, along with Woodward, that got a Pulitzer for their fake and criminally suspicious reporting that caused a president to resign.

Hey, Mr. Jackson. It is what it is. You are now second rate. There's an old adage in the investment industry: "don't fight the tape." Seems that you are. The market dictates what valuations should be, not you. I don't think TSLA got major bailouts paid for by taxpayers. If you want to look at another company with a high valuation, look at AMZN. How did betting against that work out?

And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving). The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving). The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving). The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving). The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving). The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving). Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings. “I only got a dollar out of the $20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,“but he got $10!” “Yeah, that's right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar too. It's unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!” “That's true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back, when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!” “Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn't get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!” (cont'd)

The irony is delicious. Just as Trump takes measures to appease his base, Trudeau is targeting his millennial base with measures that will ensure they will always be in debt. But they seem to love him just as Trump's base does on the opposite side of the political spectrum. The adorables vs the deplorables?

Well I am glad you like to order your flags. Neatness is always refreshing. Good for you! So, just for you, I'll goes look up dem woids that you says I don't get. Let's see. Harassment is defined as "aggressive pressure or intimidation." Abuse: "treat (a person or an animal) with cruelty or violence, especially regularly or repeatedly." Reasonable discourse: "as much as is appropriate or fair; moderate" in "written or spoken debate. Now would you be kind enough to cite for me where I have exerted aggressive pressure or intimidation and treated you repeatedly with cruelty or violence? Also how have I not tried to engage in appropriate written debate? Wait a second, could it be this? "More worthless "argumentation" from "Legate85"!" Or maybe this? "Why confuse an im-poster who is already full of alternative facts!!" As for reasonable discourse, I am sure this is a fine example of what I'm not getting: "you have nothing relevant to contribute!" So am I right?

I agree whole-heartedly with your Rick Lewis comment...maybe they would have been more 'colorful' by adding Floorwax instead?:)

Watched the videos. The behavior I saw compares with some religious nuts and other far right wing groups in the United States with whom I disagree. I expect everyone to be law abiding. That includes the police - who've I've seen act as as bad or worse than the people in the videos - the KKK, neo Nazis and frankly our current president, his administration and his supporters.

Could you be more specific, please?

Maybe we needed a different kind of President to deal with a malignant news media (?)
