Interesting, smart read on "crooked Hillary".
- This writer seems to be dismissing all of Mrs. Clintons' many critics and past indiscretions on the premise of a societal bias against women.IRNlun6
- Implying that had she been a man, her experience and qualifications would be more than enough to get her elected.IRNlun6
- Although had she been a man, I suspect many of these writers wouldn't be so willing to dismisses her indiscretions on the premise of her gender.IRNlun6
- lol, the author is giving her a pass for her lying because she is female and he feels sorry for her... All women in power need help from men, always.robotron3k

Pot Calls Kettle Black
Washington (CNN) — Donald Trump on Saturday again took aim at Elizabeth Warren on Twitter, continuing the feud between the Republican presumptive nominee and Democratic senator from Massachusetts.
"Goofy Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, pretended to be a Native American in order to advance her career. Very racist!" Trump tweeted.
- imagine this guy as the USA president. wow.inteliboy
- Why would Elizabeth Warren want to be back-up to the Commander in Chief when, as she has told us herself, she's already the Chief in Chief?portmanteau

Generation Snowflake: Safe Spaces, Trigger Warnings
http://endoftheamericandream.com…
This hyper-sensitivity has prompted the University of East Anglia to outlaw sombreros in a Mexican restaurant and caused the National Union of Students to ban clapping as “as it might trigger trauma”, asking youngsters to use “jazz hands” instead.
At Brown University – like Harvard, one of the eight elite Ivy League universities – the New York Times reported students set up a “safe space” that offered calming music, cookies, Play-Doh and a video of frolicking puppies to help students cope with a discussion on how colleges should handle sexual assault.
A Harvard student described in the university newspaper attending a “safe space” complete with “massage circles” that was designed to help students have open conversations.
Literary classics are now considered potentially “unsafe” for students to read. Reading lists at some universities are being adapted to come with warnings printed beside certain titles: The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald (Trigger: suicide, domestic abuse and graphic violence) and Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf (Trigger: suicidal tendencies).
In some colleges, professors have been known to tell students that if a book makes them feel unsafe, they are allowed to skim it, or skip it altogether, a Harvard Law professor told this newspaper.- WAKE UP SHEEPLEeighteen

- Reminds me of how ultra conservative Christians act around anything related to sex and science.monospaced
- Going as far as eliminating, or trying to, sex Ed, the classics and basic biology from general education curriculum. That's a safe space if I've seen it.monospaced
- I really don't see a problem with massage circles and chill-out spaces.nb
- But we do need to make sure Universities are places that prioritize critical thought above ALL other things. We shouldn't be censoring ideas.nb
- By the way, putting a warning beside a book title on a reading list isn't censorship.nb
- yeah, agreed, when anything gets in the way of critical thinking becomes a problemyurimon

Here's one of Trump's initial tweets following the shootings...
"Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!"
Only this narcissistic half-wit could take the worst massacres in US history and, on the very same day, make it a brag about himself. Everything...literally everything...in his world is about him.
He doesn't have a presidential bone in his body.

It's too easy and lazy to point the finger at mental health, radical Islam, immigration, or basic homophobia. Other countries have these problems too; but in those countries you can't walk into a Walmart and buy an assault weapon. There have been over 130 mass shootings in the US so far this year.
You have a gun problem.

- you guys never look at stat details. i used to be surprised that so called people who support scientific methods cant get around to look at a problem whereyurimon
- plenty of information is available in detail. but insist on repeating fallacies over n over again.yurimon
- More like an education, wealth inequality & systemic racism problem. Which is exacerbated by easy access to weapons.ben_

- You're looking at a handful of non-gun-related killings in the last 20 years, ignoring the DAILY shootings of 3-50 people. You've buried your head in the sand.i_monk
- i was like you but looked deeper. crime has been going down for the most except in places of gang/drug war. europe treats drugs use as a medical condition.yurimon
- but there is combination of social conditions mixed with policy that is responsible. you can track from as early as the 50's economic conditions direction ofyurimon
- poverty reduction by year until late 60's -70's policies n the effects up until now. but look at gun crime stats with increase of gun sales its not going up.yurimon
- you really have to be specific with every issue. some places crime has been reduced with increase conceal permits.yurimon
- Between 2000 and 2015 US gun sales increased over 200%.i_monk

"It is an assault on the ability of free people to live their lives, love who they want and express their identity."
- Donald Trump, from his speech transcript.I have to say it's pretty incredible to hear the nominee of the Republican Party declare his support for LGBT rights. It's a notable shift for the party.
- he wrote that like I wrote the last Gwar album.
good line, though.Gnash - Yeah, Obama doesn't write his speeches, either. Presidents never do. I doubt any candidates for president do.nb

"Look, we're led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he's got something else in mind," Trump said in a lengthy interview on Fox News early Monday morning. "And the something else in mind — you know, people can't believe it. People cannot, they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and can't even mention the words 'radical Islamic terrorism.' There's something going on. It's inconceivable. There's something going on." - Ol' Trumpy Boy
Now he's fanning the flames for conspiracy nuts. What a disgrace.
