Great article. It would be funny except people are articulating this shit like it’s a serious solution to a deadly problem. Like there is something super sacred about the 2nd Amendment, more sacred than your life. Anyway, let’s get rid of the assault weapons now and think and pray about the other weapons.

Thanks for reminding me what a good idea it is to not watch Fox news.

Is this the only person who would give him some?

Does he really really have this picture hanging somewhere? It’s hard to believe. But then strange things are happening everyday.

McMaster hasn’t said anything stupid lately. Bad as Tillerson might have been, he’s better than his chosen replacement. I’m afraid of what they might choose to replace McMaster. I’ve heard it’s going to be John Bolton. Bad news.

Good article. I agree that it’s wrong to hold her accountable for what Farrakhan says. Does anyone hold all Jews accountable for how Palestinians are treated? Farrakhan talks but Trump’s followers kill. I don’t know of any violence done by NOI.

The only thing good about his award was that he wasn’t going to shut up and just dribble, supporting LeBron James after crazy Laura said her stupid stuff. But from an artistic standpoint, he didn’t even deserve the award and it was know that he was going to get it anyway before he actually did.

That’s crazy. There is still considerable resistance to promoting Black quarterbacks. Or rather, they’re not promoted. They get there by super quarterback play and often not then.

Thanks for the information. I was always wary of Emily’s List even though I didn’t find philosophical differences. While I am pro-choice, I think it’s wrong to make that central to the platform. I am more concerned about avoiding WW III, countering the current racism from the top, cutting programs vital to most…

Went home last night and spent several hours listening to her. Loved Down by the Riverside. You were dead on with your description of her performing. What a gift.

I had heard of her but not focused on her until I read your article. One of your best, and I’m a fan.

It’s not a lie, but we’re so far from trying anything that we can’t tell what will work. How many children are gunned down at schools in Australia? We can’t even put restrictions back on automatics. The background check is weak. The NRA is so powerful that government entities can’t even report statistics related to…

I hope no one is lying down in front of any tanks. This heartless administration will run over them and call them ugly names. I like some of counter demonstrations I’ve seen like the giant duck or chicken that looks like Trump. This could be a field day for the comedy community.

Usual trumped up logic. We need a border wall because someone from Guatemala killed someone in Indiana. This justifies spending billions on something stupid and ugly, while someone mows down hundreds with a high power automatic, but beyond thoughts and prayers, nothing is proposed. We wait and see how many more people…

I think they will. Where will they get the medical support to justify terrifying everyone else with the peacock? The peacock might not even like flying and will take it out on others. Also there are the restroom issues. Who wants to smell bird crap? Is it safe?

This ‘support animal’ is getting out of hand. Other passengers have to be considered too. I do not want to travel with a snake, spider, monkey, etc. on the flight with me. Guide dogs are the limit. A support animal should be medically prescribed and highly trained which some of the animals mentioned like the peacock…

I am very impressed with your coverage of this story. Great writing. The best pieces I have seen on this subject. Thanks.

That should have been expunged. That is so tragic.

It’s good that you go anyway. I do too and am usually far enough down the list that I don’t get picked, but each side only has so many challenges they can use.

You are right! People frequently try to get out of it and then disparage when they have a relative convicted by a disinterested disengaged jury that doesn’t know what it’s like to see their own face the criminal justice system.
