“Why would we commemorate the arrival of Europeans as if there weren't peoples and cultures already here when Europeans arrived? How about we honor Native Americans, since they were here first?”

“There should be no legal penalty for not answering the citizenship question, because the question shouldn't be on the census to begin with. The reason for asking it is purely political. Given this administration's extreme hostility to immigration, period, it would be understandable that even legal i…”

In Response to: Should There Be a Penalty For Not Answering the Citizenship Question in the 2020 Census?

“Absolutely. Nixon tried to protect himself firing the special council. To those who say the special council is already answering to the DOJ, there is nothing to stop the top dog at the DOJ from being a partisan hack. Just look at Trump's latest maneuver replacing recused Sessions with someone who ha…”

In Response to: 3 States Could End Gerrymandering by Adopting Independent Redistricting

“This is nothing more than a thinly veiled poll tax. Unless the government is prepared to issue FREE IDs, as well as pay for the requisite "breeder documents" such as birth certificates, then the purpose is solely to disenfranchise the poor. Birth Certificates and IDs cost MONEY, and we cannot place …”

In Response to: Should States Require Voters to Prove They’re U.S. Citizens to Vote in Federal Elections?

“These wealthy corporations, and their wealthy owners and share holders, just got a HUGE tax break, which, not surprisingly, is NOT trickling down. And now the deficit is exploding. This may be the only way to FORCE the trickle down that Republicans keep promising will happen, and to put some more mo…”

In Response to: Stop BEZOS Act: Should Corporations be Taxed When Their Low-Wage Workers Use Federal Benefits?

“Why stop at 4 days per week? Why not save even more money by cutting it down to 3, or 2? Imagine all the money that could be saved if we eliminated school altogether, shuttered all the schools, fired all the teachers. So, we're willing to give tax breaks to billionaires, but are trying to cut corner…”

“What country do we live in? We are all entitled to support whatever candidate we choose. My employment, whether public or private, has no say in who I support politically. And who I support politically has no impact on how well I do my job. Special counsel staff has the same rights I have.”

In Response to: Should Special Counsels’ Staff be Prohibited From Making Political Donations?

“More "Dear Leader" reverance? No. This is not North Korea. Regardless of who the president or vice president happen to be, they don't directly manage each and every post office branch. Put up the picture of the manager of the branch, like they do at grocery stores.”

In Response to: Should Every Post Office Display the Official Portraits of the President & Vice President?

“The president serves at the will of the people. He has the right to pardon, and we have thus far trusted President's to pardon based on an examination of the merits of the case. President's are not above the law, and the pardon power should not be allowed to be used with corrupt intent, to shield th…”

In Response to: Releasing Evidence Against the Recipient of a Presidential Pardon in Investigations Involving the President or His Family

“As long as we have a president who won't disclose his taxes, and who won't either divest or put his holdings in a blind trust, any agency spending money at a Trump property is directly lining his pocket. This spending should not be buried in an obscure report.”

In Response to: Should Federal Agencies Report Expenditures at Trump Properties?

“What a bait and switch! Content won't be blocked, but all the deep pockets will get "prioritization". And whatever happened to "states' rights" that Republicans are constantly babbling about? This would prevent states from passing "freer" net neutrality laws. All in all, big winners are the big tele…”

In Response to: Prohibiting ISPs From Blocking or Throttling Content But Allowing Paid Prioritization

“Funny. I don't see anything in this bill about protecting the American people. It is all about greasing the skids for the financial industry. Aren't they satisfied by their huge tax cuts and the gutting of Dodd-Frank?”

In Response to: Should an Independent Office Review Complaints & Appeals by Banks About Their Regulatory Exams?

“An 18 year old can join the military. Well, when you join the military, then the military is your JOB, and you are highly trained in the "tools" of your trade. Just because you're trained in the use of those tools doesn't mean you get to bring them home with you. Those 18 - 21 year olds who DON'T en…”

In Response to: Should the Minimum Age to Buy a Handgun be Lowered to 18 From 21?

“Sure, mitigating threats of vehicle terrorism is a fine idea, and should already be on the radar of Homeland Security. However, more people are injured, or die, every day due to gun violence, including mass shootings (domestic terrorism), and nothing is being done. Since this is a far greater threa…”

“The various military departments can't even account for all the money we have already given them. We already have more than enough deadly weaponry to render the earth uninhabitable many times over, and our military spending us larger than the next 5-7 countries combined. How much is enough?

“How does it make sense to tell people to go get a job, when they have no means for potential employers to contact them? Most poor people can't afford a computer and the internet. A cell phone is their connection to the web sites of potential employers. Many, if not most, employers only accept online…”

“So, you want to take federal money, hand it to someone, let them do whatever with it, with little or no federal oversight or participation, and no metrics to determine if any real goals are met. If my taxes are going to be used to fund something, I should be able to see where that money goes, what i…”
