Come on — what Manning did was not deserving of execution. And the original 35 year sentence Manning received was also way out of line. Giving the public a glimpse into what actually happens in a war— the “collateral damage” video — is not a traitorous deed.

I don’t think Trump of the Department of Education run by Betsy Devos can unilaterally impose segregating policies that run against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. They still might try to, though!

We already have predominantly white and black colleges, so isn’t there some self-segregating going on?

Don’t read too much into Grassley’s tweets. He’s been a firm Donald Trump supporter all along.

Maher likes to cite Pew Research data that show x percent of Muslims around the world approve of sharia law, honor killings and suicide bombers. Maher is pretty disparaging about Islam in general. But yes, we do live in an era when radical Islamic terrorism is a very clear and present danger.

Rudy Giuliani helped craft Trump’s the Executive Order temporarily banning entry to some individuals. He claims that a group of “expert lawyers” came up with the angle to ban people coming from certain countries that pose a danger to the U.S. It’s just a happy coincidence that most of the people subject to the ban are…

Well, MSNBC for one is noted for its Democratic-leaning opinion pieces, not just the straight, unadulterated news. The hosts on that network can be just as hyperbolic as people on Fox News. Aside from the hyperbole, we can probably find some kernels of truth uttered at some time on each network. But yes, I get the…

Then your outrage is specifically against the so-called “liberal” media and not just the media in general. There are plenty of examples of right-leaning media outlets that have acted as a countervailing force against the biases of the left-wing media. It’s up to us as consumers to discern the plumb line in all of…

Think of the PATRIOT Act or Stop & Frisk — not every law is a good law. Those laws can sometimes be used in an oppressive way by the government. It could follow, then, that not every regulation is a good one. Although, in the case of the FDA, that agency may be erring on the side of lax regulations given its practice…

And what double standard would that be?

Two 82 wrongs don’t make a right!

That $15.00 savings in 1919 is like getting $215.00 off in today’s dollars. Geico are a bunch of cheap bastards!

It would be more runny at lower temperatures, which correlates to being less viscous.

There’s no turning things back to “normal.” The deplorables aren’t the type to slink away quietly if Trump loses.

At least in theory, isn’t capitalism supposed to be about efficient markets being the optimal way to spread the wealth around? What makes the education system fail is in part due to the government’s lax oversight of the tax money in play. Why did it take the feds 20 years to determine that ITT was basically a scam?…

It seems like the Post’s editorial board ought to direct some of its ire at the journalists who helped bring Snowden’s leaks to the masses. If the dissemination of some of that information was harmful to the valid security interests of the United States, then the journalists who disclosed it should be held accountable…

Well, when you put it like that.... I take it expectations are high, in regards to how the government will address this particular form of protest. I figured the players were mostly commenting on society’s relative ambivalence to the plight of black people in this country. But sure, if the government can address…

Fine — it’s possible that every last knee taker is doing so in protest of us blithely living in such a divided state here in America. It’s also possible, I think, that some of these guys are jumping on what they perceive is a bandwagon that will get them more attention.

I know we lionize professional ball players but they’re basically just performers. The only thing this scene is missing is a Kardashian taking a knee on the Red Carpet.

One person doing that took all the risks, making him the bona fide protester. What we’re seeing now is probably more than just a smattering of the “Look at me, I’m doing it too!” crowd. A protest is more substantial than just a bunch of people reiterating the same message.
