monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

since it was you who claimed that 80 leaders attended, when the official story says 60.

Don't have a list; do you Walter?

Just a random guess?

It is, then, understandable that the authors seek to mend America’s broken institutions by making it easier for legislators to shut the people out—at least a little bit, from time to time. Making it harder for activists to launch primary challenges against incumbents in safe districts, for instance, really would make it easier for Congress to fulfill its constitutional duty of checking an errant executive.

So the authors of this book think political parties should be even more instutionalized than they are now? Political parties are not even mentioned in the Constitution.

Moreover, Madison feared the formation of a certain kind of faction. Recognizing that the country's wealthiest property owners formed a minority and that the country's unpropertied classes formed a majority, Madison feared that the unpropertied classes would come together to form a majority faction that gained control of the government. Against "the minor party," there could emerge "an interested and overbearing majority," Madison warns (Dawson 1863, p. 55-56). Specifically, Madison feared that the unpropertied classes would use their majority power to implement a variety of measures that redistributed wealth. There could be "a rage for paper money, for an abolition of debts, for an equal division of property, or for any other improper or wicked project," Madison warns (Dawson 1863, p. 64). In short, Madison feared that a majority faction of the unpropertied classes might emerge to redistribute wealth and property in a way that benefited the majority of the population at the expense of the country's richest and wealthiest people.

A Republican senator from Mississippi is facing criticism for a joke she made about lynching.

Cindy Hyde-Smith was filmed praising a cattle rancher, saying: "If he invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row."

She is facing a run-off later this month against a black Democrat in a state with a history of race killings.

Her opponent, Mike Espy, called the comment "reprehensible" but she says the reaction has been overblown.

The video was published on Twitter on Sunday by a Mississippi blogger, and showed Ms Hyde-Smith meeting supporters.

No other context for the comment was offered in the clip.

An armed security guard at a bar in suburban Chicago was killed by police as he detained a suspected gunman, according to officials and witnesses.

After gunfire erupted around 04:00 local time on Sunday, Jemel Roberson, 26, chased down an attacker and kneeled on his back until police arrived.

Moments after police came on the scene, an officer opened fire on Roberson, who was black, killing him.

Friends say Roberson was a musician who had dreams of joining the police.

"The very people that he wanted to be family with took his life," Patricia Hill, the pastor of Purposed Hill church in Chicago, told WGN-TV.

Roberson worked as a gospel musician at several nearby churches, and also had found work at Manny's Blue Room in Robbins, Illinois, where the shooting occurred.

Robbins, Illinois,

Where the liquor is behind a cage with the employee inside that cage with it. Stores only have one way in and out to prevent theft and the windows have bars. I have been there. The town, a southern suburb of Chicago, has been abandon and no one intends to clean it up.

I would lay the blame at the feet of the corrupt Democratic machine in Chicago, not the cops.

Yeah, I think I can see 4 doors, an outdoor patio for drinks during the summer, and not a bar on a window.

Why don't you move there?
