monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

There were many other equally effectiuve ways of addressing the equal rights issue as far a s the government was concerned without compeling other to change their practices.

Your older sister was indeed correct about the referendum on gay marriage in California: the onlt democratic action in the state on the issue and if memorey sereves it passed by a wide margin. With respect to the constitutional right - there is no specific address to this in the constitution other than that such matters belong to the states.

This is what happens when power goes to their head.

They want to become royalty.

The country now "goes through a difficult process of restoring the country's greatness and returning its global influence" and "members of the Romanov House cannot stay aloof from the processes taking place in Russia now at such an important historical moment".

In ‘Hitler,’ an Ascent From ‘Dunderhead’ to Demagogue

How did Adolf Hitler — described by one eminent magazine editor in 1930 as a “half-insane rascal,” a “pathetic dunderhead,” a “nowhere fool,” a “big mouth” — rise to power in the land of Goethe and Beethoven? What persuaded millions of ordinary Germans to embrace him and his doctrine of hatred? How did this “most unlikely pretender to high state office” achieve absolute power in a once democratic country and set it on a course of monstrous horror?

A host of earlier biographers (most notably Alan Bullock, Joachim Fest and Ian Kershaw) have advanced theories about Hitler’s rise, and the dynamic between the man and his times. Some have focused on the social and political conditions in post-World War I Germany, which Hitler expertly exploited — bitterness over the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles and a yearning for a return to German greatness; unemployment and economic distress amid the worldwide Depression of the early 1930s; and longstanding ethnic prejudices and fears of “foreignization.” . . .

Well perhaps the country and your family haven't lived up to your expectations. What should you do about it? I'm not sure that "drawing a line " over an isolated judgment in the midst of all the complexity we face is a wise move.

We're all rather complex creatures and filled with contradictory needs, appetites, concerns and ideas. Moreover the world itself is filled with competing species, ever-changing physical and geological conditions, and episodic threats over which we have little control. Finally we all die.

It might be wiser and better for the happiness of you and your family for you to rise above this relatively little "issue", that appears not to have any direct effect on those involved.

I put you on Ignore, but you're full of it as always.
That you can't even do a search on Trump's scams and lies is a testament to your ignorance.

Trump, scam artist: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/even-trumps-charity-is-a-scam/2016/09/14/9463468a-79ee-11e6-bd86-b7bbd53d2b5d_story.html?utm_term=.0824bde6832f

Trump the liar: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/431755/donald-trumps-huge-lies

I've often wondered why the Obama administration has done absolutely nothing to counter the Russian/Chinese hacking of our government/public/private cyberspace.
They claim they can't reveal what they're doing, because it'll reveal it.

I wonder.

Your link here is to the Huffington Post which itself refers to "reports from various progressive advocacy groups". At best only vague rererenced to the alleged omissions is provided. None of the specifica are well-known or widely reported

Spying has been on-going between countries for many generations.
The biggest issue today is who is going to use the first nuclear bomb.
It's been properly identified as MAD.

Shouldn't the fourth grade snot be washing out the **** stains in his shorts instead of taunting his "many enemies"?

If you think 2016 has been a wild and rough ride, just wait ‘til you get a load of 2017.
Given everything we know about Donald Trump from his divisive, demagogic presidential campaign, the next four years will be a stress test for the American system.

Absolutely not. Russia had reasons for doing what they did. However, all they did was tell the truth. They didn't lie, they didn't destroy anything, they just gave information that was true to US citizens.

Basically they said Hillary is bad for your country, you are being lied to. here's proof.

Horrible to have such a president coming in. How are we to respect such a man when he has no respect for the people he is supposed to be serving as President?

Even if true, which is a slim save btw, clearly, Trump has trouble with the First Amendment of the Constitution and the freedom of the Press. Conservatives love to bring up the founding fathers, clearly, the founding fathers thought the expression of the freedom of the press so important it was included in the first amendment along with religion and the right to assembly and speech.

Even now, we are seeing success among news organizations that have maintained the courage of their convictions rather than simply playing to the lowest common denominator. The New York Times is seeing a surge in subscriptions since Trump's unexpected win while the Washington Post has achieved profitability. At The Daily Beast, we have seen another record year in terms of traffic and revenue, reaching more than 1 million readers a day with high loyalty and engagement - more than doubling our traffic from four years before. The lesson is clear: quality journalism attracts a quality audience.
