I’m happy for those 330 people, and have a lot of respect for Obama and all the crap that’s been flung at him, but... how about a sense of urgency on the day before a tyrannical traitor takes over??? We’re all going to die. And not in a philosophical sense where we talk about mortality and the long arc of history and…

Who will get justice for the legless crabs though?

Now I can sleep at night.

Will we get a justification for this one? It just seems like a strange thing to pardon to me.

It’s the system we HAVE now, like it or not. As I said, it’s one thing to talk about changing that. It’s another to say an electoral college win isn’t legitimate. It IS legitimate under the system we have now. The path to 270 is ALL that matters when it comes to being elected president, fair or not. It’s all a…

That isn’t the point. The point is that the “popular vote” argument does not work as a testament of illegitimacy based on the system we have now. It’s one thing to want to use the numbers to CHANGE the system for future elections— but we cannot say an electoral college win is illegitimate based on the constitutional…

I agree that we need to stop shaming black leaders for meeting with Trump. Whether we like it or not, he IS going to be the president, at least for now. What, exactly, would you like POC leaders to do? You think they should not at least TRY to make their voices heard by the new administration? They should just stay…

Also — Trump 100 percent is NOT a legitimate president. I don’t even understand the debate. Everyone should be treating him this way and saying this. He was appointed by Putin and a cabal of asshole FBI agents. Plus he lost the election by 2.9 million votes.

Plus he lost the election by 2.9 million votes.

The thing with Trump is, I think he might do just about anything at any moment to try to get a person/group of people to love and admire him.

This kid is the one that basically sold out his father’s message

Good. Trump meeting with a black leader, who happens to be the son of our greatest Civil Rights hero, can only be classified as a good thing. The Left will call MLKIII a sellout and an Uncle Tom, but meeting with the leader of the free world and attempting to personally show him your concerns is never a negative.…

Oh, really? So far she/he/it has been super appropriate. Does this person behave badly elsewhere?

Lol would I have bothered replying to this article if that’s what I get off on? I like reading opinions from both sides, to gather a more whole picture.

They aren’t all horrible, evil people... unless you hate him in general. I guess I come from a more neutral standpoint, and just get tired of seeing things presented one way. (Not our side = evil) It just adds to the divisions.

Oh, right, I forgot. Internet comment sections are full of condescending assholes.

Your post did not address Trump’s team, but that’s some A+ backpedaling there. Also, her rep told TMZ about the threats, so that’s not coming from Trump. You’re quite right though, I was wrong about law enforcement. Mea maxima culpa.

Than…

They probably just didn’t want the death threats that Jennifer Holliday and Andrea Bocelli had been getting.

i’m not fishing for outrage. maybe i should have been more clear: i am the one who is upset here by what you wrote

I seriously doubt Trump supporters are sending death threats to Trump performers.

Can we not delegitimize women who come forward about this stuff? It’s hard enough to get people to pay attention without people crying ‘fake’ because she chose not to share details with anyone but the police.
