Being in possession of a stolen gun and running from police are not capital offences. Just like the young man in Chicago a few weeks ago when police violated protocol by firing into a moving vehicle, the officers lives were not in immediate danger. Lethal force is not an acceptable method of apprehending a suspect.

Even George should be nervous. I hear the Parliament Funkadelic also kept a personal email server. Republicans spent $100 million proving just that. If Republicans spent as much time and money trying to find a credible Presidential candidate as they have on the Clinton witch-hunts they likely wouldn't be in the disaster mode they are in now. Hell, if they spent less time and money trying to stop transgender people from using bathrooms they likely wouldn't be on the verge of losing control of the senate.

MLK, a man who sought a peaceful resolution to this nation's inequality and ended up assassinated. What would really cause MLK to "roll over in his grave" is giving his life to a cause and seeing young black men being gunned down in the streets. It might as well be the 1900's. In 2015 police killed 102 unarmed black citizens. I would say a lot of people who gave their lives in the battle for equality are "rolling in their graves."

Since when is deadly force deemed acceptable on a fleeing suspect? Fleeing from a police officer is not a capital offence, unless something has changed. http://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2016/08/14/milwaukee-violence-police-shooting-young-newday.cnn

Is that not the entire basis of the Trump campaign?

300 members of ISIS killed. I guess Trump would have single highhandedly killed 3,000. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/us-says-300-islamic-state-fighters-killed-in-afghan-operation/ar-BBvt4DS?li=BBnb7Kz

She should question his position on the trade agreement with Narnia.

I bet $10 on October 25th in a pool dedicated to when Donald Trump will finally call someone the N-word. Either President Obama, a reporter or someone at a rally, it's going to happen. Also, Has anyone mentioned deforestation as another cause of the rising carbon dioxide levels? It's not just emissions. Why hasn't Trump been arrested for his threats against Hilary Clinton. You want to talk about being above the law, let one of us make a public statement to the press threatening Hilary Clinton's life and let's see how fast we would be in cuffs.

Thought it would be fun to lighten up the political conversation with some Game of Thrones. Match GOT characters with your favorite political characters. Clintons = Lannisters Trumps = Boltons Obamas = Starks GW Bush = Robin Arryn John McCain = Theon Greyjoy Have fun!

We could always build a wall. i wonder if Trump would be for bankruptcy reform?

After decades of carbon emissions we have had 14 of the hottest summers on record have been since the year 2000. That' pretty damning evidence. Clinton is playing it smart. Just let Donald Trump show people who he really is, the ugliness should turn enough people away from his poison.

Aren't we to the point now where denying climate change is like denying the existence of dinosaurs and claiming the earth is only 5,000 years old? Shouldn't we be past this point already?

As I said, they have a place. They're just not the future.

Nah, Trump is and always has been nothing more than a blowhard a-hole that rips off people's money and doesn't pay his bills. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/12/nyregion/donald-trump-atlantic-city.html?_r=0 The skill trades have a place but they are no-longer the base for a strong economy. As the world moves forward technology and information is what's going to drive economies not hammers and saws. Think of all the things your IPhone can do today. And think 5-10 years from now when it's obsolete and people look at their IPhones and wonder how they were able to manage with it. Kids today are much more techno savvy, the difference is far greater than us and our parents. The gap is going to grow with each generation. That's the future. It's called evolution. Each party needs to address their constituency as it today not 25-50 years ago. It is the main reason the Republican party is so weak and vulnerable. Each party needs to address the issues as they are in 2016.

Is there enough need for that many "trades people"? A quick search says they is about $25 millions college students in the US. Taking 12.5 million of those and entering them into the trades or industrial settings will leave a lot unemployed would it not?

My assertion is that the modern middle class is now made of the college educated. A basic college education is today what a high school education was 25-30 years ago.

If the manufacturing picture was as you are trying to paint it then more company's like Bernz would be moving production back to the US and Trumps threats of breaking trade agreements and punishing companies, like his own, who produce products outside of the US wouldn't be taken seriously by some. I have no doubt that there are likely more stories similar to Bernz out there. The question is are they the exception or the rule? There is an article from 2015 talking about how due to certain factors, NAFTA being one, that it may be cheaper for some products to be manufactured here in the US than in China. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/08/04/why-its-now-cheaper-to-produce-some-goods-in-the-south-than-in-china/ On an individual company basis, under perfect scenarios, depending on the product, it could make sense. Under a governmental policy of trying to force companies back to the US, it doesn't.

Who would eat the cost of building a factory here in the US?

Yet I can see that it is unrealistic to manufacture a product in the US at 10,20 or 30x's the labor cost and expect that product to be successful. The allure of manufacturing in China and India is the pennies on the dollar of labor cost. Take an Iphone, a retail cost of what $400 - $800 depending on memory? That's with being manufactured in China. What is the cost of that same phone manufactured in the USA with 10x's the labor. Will people here in the US be happy with Paying $800 - $1200 for that same phone? Again, people can wrap themselves in the flag and chant USA all they want, given the choice to pay less no matter where it is made they are going to pay less. It's why Walmart is so huge, over 75% of their inventory is made outside the US. If Walmart sold made in America items only, they wouldn't be in business for much longer.

There has been only one in history with the power to bring sight to the blind, I do not have that power.

1) Teds 2) steam hammer-smith trainee 3) convenient store clerk 4) Wise potato chip delivery 5) US customs broker - clerk 6) factory - materials management dept 7) auto finance industry

What is that saying, "you can't put the toothpaste back into the tube", it applies here. The economy is now global, the cost of bringing back factories from overseas makes it impossible. There are far too many counties in the world that can build things faster, better and most importantly cheaper. The economic isolationism that Trump is proposing will end up destroying this economy. People can wrap themselves in the flag and chant USA USA USA, it wont stop this country from moving forward into a global future.

When I was 19 I worked two years at Vulcan Steam Forging in Riverside, I left because I was tired of coughing up black soot. Your mindset is the same mindset that is killing the Republican Party. It is a 1950;s mindset. The future of this country is not the re-emergence of factory work. The future is technology, information and education. There is no going back. It's similar to the immigration argument, that immigrants are taking jobs away from 'Mericans, there is no line of Mericans waiting to pick heads of lettuce for pennies. Trump saying he is going to bring manufacturing jobs is a lie just like all his others, he doesn't even manufacture his own goods in the US. Republicans keep trying to sell this dream that the US can go back to the good old days. This is how they ended up with a Donald Trump as their nominee. The world is going to continue to move forward with or without the Republican party. Until they start putting as much effort into the future of this country as they do the pining of days gone by they will continue to die.

I know it's the Republican's stance that the world needs to remain in the 1950's, and what you have posted would be accurate in the 1950's. It's 2016, the world has changed. The HS degree is now as valued as a GED and the college degree is what a HS diploma was 25-30 years ago.
