Re: Don't believe the polls — Trump is winning

So, this column is two guys' opinion? By the headline, it seems to represent The Hill.

Re: NRA Solicits Donations To Further Enrich Boss Wayne LaPierre

Are you aware that there are NRA and Trump ads on your articles here? They are what I see. It's a little mindblowing to see pro-Trump & pro-NRA ads on the kind of articles that you write. I wonder if they have any idea...it's money wasted.

Re: Trump threat to TikTok generates storm of criticism

I don't even know HOW he plans to ban an app & website. I mean, technically, how can he do that? Isn't all content in the cloud now? He can't just shut down a tech center & its servers like the old days.

Re: 100 Days Under Fire: The Inside Story of How Cable News Has Covered Pandemic and Protest From the Frontline

Thanks for the long form deep dive into a tumultuous time during our country's history. After spending so many hours watching the news over the past four months, it's interesting to hear what's going on from the network point of view.

Re: BREAKING: Winthrop Faculty Deans to Leave After Harvard Refuses to Renew Their Contracts

I'm not a Harvard student, just coming here through links from social media. But it seems like there is a lot more to this story that the Crimson is not revealing. What were the specific complaints? How did the professors respond? This deserves to be a long-form article, not a blurb. This is a significant story.

It was reportedly at the Sochi Olympics in 2014, not the Rio Olympics in 2016.

Re: The Guardian Exposes Obvious Fraud Louise Mensch Having Hailed Her as Best Thing Since Sliced Bread

There is bad journalism on both sides of the political divide. Like Republicans blaming Obama for Katrina when he was actually a state senator in Illinois, not president on the United States. Pro-Trump supporters are as, if not more, guilty of a shaky relationship with the truth as anti-Trump folks.

Re: American Gods recap: Season 1, Episode 7

Liz — Mon, 12 Jun 2017 22:34:53 -0000

Look, as far as I've heard, this series has been renewed for two more seasons and I've heard that it has been projected to run five seasons. The folks in charge are not going to take viewers to the climatic battle at the end of season 1. Take the long view and enjoy the show, episode for episode. It's likely to be a long wait until season 2 airs.

Milo is here on a guest visa. He should worry about his own country before making pronouncements on what is wrong with the USA.

Re: Global pedophilia rings exposed and arrested – Where’s U.S. press coverage?

Liz — Fri, 17 Feb 2017 18:49:13 -0000

Pizzagate is a conspiracy theory. Police, reporters have gone to the location and in the basement, found nothing...because the building doesn't have a basement. Child sexual abuse is real but trying to tie it to politics is a terrible mistake. Fight against it in your neighborhood and town, don't invent fake pedophilia rings in Washington DC...your hyperbole doesn't help children.

Re: The Handmaidens of Hatred

You are so right, Democrats are FULL of hatred. From conservatives, I have only seen messages of respect & love towards liberals. God bless you, Republicans, for your message of tolerance & love towards others, especially those you disagree with.

Every time I encounter a conservative, I am bathed in their Christian love & acceptance even though I hold different political views from your. Your kindness is boundless as is your respect towards liberals. You, sir, are the embodiment of love & peace towards others. God bless you.

Re: Donald Trump: Investigating Hillary ‘Would Be Very, Very Divisive for the Country’

Liz — Tue, 22 Nov 2016 15:12:14 -0000

You can count on Trump not following through on a lot of his campaign trail promises. People say a lot of things to win an election. Very few promises are followed through on with concrete action. It's not Trump, it's the nature of politics. Despite "not being a politician", running a presidential campaign and winning means he is one.

And, four years later, I can guarantee you that there will be no wall between the U.S. and Mexico....beyond the fence that is already there. A wall would cost billions and billions of dollars and is just not going to happen. I mean, politicians might WANT a wall, but it is too expensive and it's just an idea, it will never be a reality.

Everyone knows that the "Pizzagate" scandal is a bunch of hysterical conspiracy nonsense like UFOs landing and lizard people controlling the leaders of countries. And the moon is made of cheese...and is also a pedophile.

Re: Donald Trump: Investigating Hillary ‘Would Be Very, Very Divisive for the Country’

Liz — Tue, 22 Nov 2016 15:01:02 -0000

I guess we'll see if Trump follows through on his promises.

Re: Donald Trump: Investigating Hillary ‘Would Be Very, Very Divisive for the Country’

Yeah, and Trump also said he'd reconsider his views on climate change. He's walking back a lot of his campaign trail promises. Kind of like he is, what do you call it? Oh, a politician. AND he said he had nothing to do with the alt-right. Are you disappointed?

Re: Please Stop Sharing Links to These Sites

I think Gateway Pundit and Infowars are among the worst. And Trump used to ReTweet their stories all of the time!

Re: Lesbian Trump supporter slams gay Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook

Donating to the work of the Clinton Foundation is not the same as donating money to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. She is not the Clinton Foundation, she a politician, not a charity.

Re: Hollywood Republicans Feel Under Siege in ‘Toxic’ Anti-Trump Industry

Liz — Sat, 01 Oct 2016 01:36:23 -0000

Maybe Clinton & Sanders supporters realize that the election of Donald Trump, a man who proudly refuses to pay taxes that support our troops, would lead to the destruction of our country. It's not a consequence one can be neutral about. Either we elect a competent, experienced leader or a thin-skin, reactive narcissist nutbag who would have codes to nuclear weapons. It's not a Democrat vs. Republican battle, it's a Sanity vs. Insanity vote. Please vote for sanity.

Re: Trump camp on NYT endorsement: Trump prefers endorsement of 'hard-working Americans'

Liz — Sun, 25 Sep 2016 18:22:32 -0000

The funny part is that Trump was a frequent attendee at all of those elitist, East Coast cocktail parties. He's part of the 1%, more so that Clinton. How anyone can see him as a "candidate of the common man" is gullible and doesn't recognize a con man when they see one.

Trump criticizes Clinton for having donors (like he has) or involvement with "special interests"...well, he used to be one of those special interests, donating money to candidates on both sides and turning up later, asking for favors. How can Trump supporters not see the massive contradictions in his life vs. what he claims now?

I stopped at "ludicrous and delusional".

Re: Milo on CNBC: The Only Reason People Are Buying Kaepernick Jerseys Is to Burn Them

Liz — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 22:48:02 -0000

You can tell that Milo puts about 10 seconds of thought into his responses. Why he keeps being asked on these news shows is baffling...they must run out of guests who actually have an educated opinion. Why do hosts ask him questions about subjects he is completely ignorant? And as a Brit, why does he care about the American national anthem? All I can see is that he has a great publicist who keeps booking him on these shows.

Re: 2 Illegal Immigrants Arrested Running Brothel in New Orleans

Liz — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 22:44:05 -0000

This is interesting considering that Trump's grandfather ran brothels when he was young. I guess it was okay for a presidential candidate to come from this background but not others?

Re: Article critical of transgender movement sets off debate about 'The Antioch Review'

Liz — Fri, 06 May 2016 17:39:45 -0000

Exactly how is one "critical" of the Holocaust? I think there is wide-spread agreement that it was an abomination and calculated murder on a massive scale.

Do you mean denial of the Holocaust? That's like arguing that there is no gravitational force. It's not about free speech, that is denying reality.

This is the first comment I've come across that actually makes sense of the tensions that exist between and among trans men, trans women, feminists and LGB activists.

Re: Sleepy Hollow's Finale Delivers the Biggest Loss Yet to Team Witness

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Beharie has wanted to leave the show for a while and was supposed to exit mid-season. Knowing that helps the sting of losing the character, knowing it wasn't just a plot device, killing off a main character as so many other TV shows seem to be doing these days.
