monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Phillips said, "I feel I'm being compelled to create artwork for an event -- an inherently religious event -- that goes against my faith, and I'm being compelled to do so under penalty of jail time and fines."

The men told Phillips they wanted a cake to celebrate their planned wedding, which would be performed in another state. Same sex marriage was not yet legal in Colorado, but two men walked into the bakery. Phillips said he knew right away that he couldn't create the product they were looking for without violating his faith.

"The Bible says, 'In the beginning there was male and female,'" Phillips said. He offered to make any other baked goods for the men.

"At which point they both stormed out," he said.

It is unusual to land an interview with the president, but even more rare for a reporter to get him one-on-one. I knew that what I was doing was not going to go over well with the White House press office, which hates being blindsided by the president making news. But for much of the next half-hour, Mr. Trump and I sat alone.

Some readers criticized my approach, saying I should have asked more follow-up questions. I believed it was more important to continue to allow the president to speak and let people make their own judgments about his statements. It was the best way to learn as much as possible about the president’s mindset and his views on issues like North Korea.

In the interview, the president did make news. He contradicted members of his own party, saying he believes the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, will treat him fairly. He said for the first time explicitly that he had gone soft on trade with China in the hopes that Beijing would help put pressure on North Korea to stop its nuclear weapons program. And he said that he never thought Roy Moore would win the Senate race in Alabama and that he had endorsed Mr. Moore only out of obligation.

At the end of the interview, Mr. Trump, who had asked about my golf game, told me that I should go out and play his course that afternoon. I told him I would not do that and I needed to file a story off the interview on deadline. He asked me to treat him fairly, we shook hands and I headed for my rental car. As I drove away from the club, I called my editors to tell them I had just spent half an hour alone with the president.

It's not a pathology, but a tactic.

Lash, right again!!!!!

Do you think that if Hillary Clinton had won, Kirsten Gillibrand would still have assumed the tough stance about the Clinton's treatment of women? Do you think that if Hillary was president, Gillibrand would still have led the mob that ran Al Franken out of the Senate?

No.

The entire sexual harassment movement was designed to take down Trump. It's being fanned by establishment Dem advocate-journalists.

People have been trying to sell the Weinstein story for years with no luck. Suddenly now, in an effort to snare Trump, the doors were open. Weinstein's formidable web of gatekeepers stopped protecting him, and Ronan Farrow's story was finally published.

I don't believe this sex assault tidal wave would have been allowed during a Clinton presidency. Clinton buddy Weinstein would still be in power.

In 2017, actress Alyssa Milano started using "Me too" as an Internet hashtag in response to accusations against Harvey Weinstein and other public figures of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and other abusive behavior. In October 2017, Milano acknowledged Burke's earlier use of the phrase on Twitter writing, "I was just made aware of an earlier #MeToo movement, and the origin story is equal parts heartbreaking and inspiring".

If you'd said that the movement was sparked by the Access Hollywood video and the crass behavior of candidate Trump I wouldn't have objected.

Gloating is never cool

You pretend to do it all the time, even after we've shown you how wrong you actually are.

Sort of the way you pretend to show that I'm wrong.

Public accommodations, in US law, are generally defined as facilities, both public and private, used by the public. Examples include retail stores, rental establishments, and service establishments as well as educational institutions, recreational facilities, and service centers.

Under US federal law, public accommodations must be accessible to the handicapped and may not discriminate on the basis of "race, color, religion, or national origin."Private clubs were specifically exempted under federal law[3] as well as religious organizations.Title II's definition of public accommodation is limited to "any inn, hotel, motel, or other establishment which provides lodging to transient guests" and so is inapplicable to churches. Section 12187 of the ADA also exempts religious organizations from public accommodation laws, but religious organizations are encouraged to comply.

Various US states have nonuniform laws that provide for nondiscrimination in public accommodations.

I don't know what to do with this "Trump is sick" thesis.

Try taking it with a grain of salt.

Per usual, you make a lot of noise that doesn't address what I said, claiming it refutes my statement.

Classic ad hominem...directed at D'Souza

Of course, ad hominem arguments are not always wrong. There's another side to them. If someone is a known liar, there's a greater chance he's lying again. If someone is set make money if his claim is true, you should be more suspicious. Therefore, you shouldn't fully attack a person's claim based on their characteristics or beliefs, but you must factor them in. You will do this naturally so don't expend too many calories trying to strike the right balance
