Hopefully the country can survive this and education will become important again. Without it, we're just a bunch of idiots waiting to be told what to do and how to think, the exact opposite of what the "Founding Fathers" wanted.

All the officers, members of Congress & every member of the congressional staff that was there that day should sue everyone that was pardoned in civil court.

I hope all these officers and their families sue everyone that got a pardon in civil court.

Nursing homes should not be allowed for profit. We should let them go peacefully when THEY are ready. I feel terrible for letting my grandmother go through what she did. I wish I'd given her a handful of pills instead. It would've been more humane.

Again, my insurance costs $400 a month, I have to pay for everything up $3600, then I "only" have to pay 50%. It's useless for anything but catastrophic illness. If I think I have the flu but can't afford a $150 office visit & $100 for tamiflu what do you suggest I do when it gets worse?

Profit isn't evil. Excessive profit is the issue here. Excessive even as people who pay for coverage are denied that coverage to preserve those profits. For example by most accounts, prior to 1973, most Hospitals were NOT "for profit". Health care wasn't a "right" but increasingly it's clear that...

Heavily tax incomes over $500,000/yr. That's more than enough for anyone to live off of comfortably. Use the tax $ for actual healthcare for everyone.

I agree, murder should never be the answer. However, if you don't value the lives of your customers, why should their families value your life? Right or wrong, decisions have consequences.

The reason people go to the ER for sinus infections is because they can't afford to go to the Dr to treat it early. They hope it gets better but it doesn't, it gets worse & they have to go to the ER. I pay for insurance, $3600 deductible, Dr visits $150. It's useless for sinus infections.

Or you have doctors that actually want to help people instead of just wanting to make money. I didn't say Drs shouldn't get paid, making money by basing decisions on profit is the problem.

Health coverage, hospitals & nursing homes should not be "for profit". Medical decisions should not be based on cost by "for profit" companies, they should be based on Dr recommendations. That is what is wrong with our healthcare, it is based on profit instead of health care.

What part don't you understand? Winners need to respect their opponents instead of humiliating them? Sorry I didn't realize Michigan is the only team to ever win a game. Let me be clear just for you, I don't give a fuck who was being taunted last week, it wasn't ok then & it's not ok today. Got it?

He played with the greatest basketball player of all time and this is what he thinks would've helped them win more championships? This clearly shows that Pippen is the reason they didn't win more championships.

Do you people read? Stop giving examples of other teams doing stupid shit like this as if that makes it ok. It's not and I clearly stated that but keep teaching your kids to be bullies and kick people when they're down. I'm sure it will earn them lots of friends just like it did you.

It's still taunting and it's a penalty during a game and it should be applied to actions on the field after the game. The soft bitches are the winners that do things like this because making someone else feel small makes them feel like a big man. Ridiculing others is not something to be proud of.

No, you need to learn how to win. Stop being sore winners & have some respect for your opponents. Stop thinking winning gives you the right to be an asshole. You won, great, go celebrate but taunting is punished during the game & should be punished in this case also. Fight doesn't happen otherwise.

It's absolutely helpful, and if we had been doing this the last decade, Trump wouldn't have won. Stop normalizing monsters and nazis because you think it's somehow "balanced". It's not. These a not differences of opinion. These are immoral amoral monsters that need to be eliminated, not "understood"

I agree unless those opinions are batshit crazy "alternative facts". That's why we're in this mess, the media gave them a platform for ratings instead of the truth. People like MTG, Bobert Hawley & Gaetz should never be interviewed without being muted & fact checked live.

He gets away with it of course but these jurors names will probably get leaked and their lives will be destroyed.
