“The idea that 83,000 service members could be found if we just paid more money is completely ludicrous. Many of these soldiers who are “MIA” in reality have been killed decades ago, their bodies in such advanced states of decomposition that they could probably not even be identified if found. As for…”

“Why don’t we take some simple steps to reduce how much money we “have” to spend to “protect” ourselves first. 1) Recognize that we, the United States of America, have an empire, and that empires are expensive to maintain. If we are willing to give up our hegemonic status perpetuated by ridiculous mi…”

“The idea that Christmas is somehow being fundamentally attacked just because people say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas,” or because schools cannot promote Christmas over other religious holidays shows that many people are deeply insecure and require constant validation of their religio…”

“Net neutrality is vital for the free flow of information and ideas in a democracy. As has been shown by countless petitions and general outrage, we the people, of the United States of America demand access to a free internet, and will not have it taken away from us to satisfy the ultra-wealthy!”

“This is an absolutely despicable piece of legislation designed to enrich the top 1 percent at the cost of everyone else. Remember when you couldn’t get through a day without hearing some republican senator complain about our deficit? That was when President Obama was trying to help otherwise disadva…”

“This is a disgraceful attack on American consumers by the wealthy elite who want to line their pockets at the expense of us, the citizens. WE the people are supposed to be running our own country, not gigantic corporations. It is time that we elect politicians who embody these ideals, and punish tho…”

“Our Sabre-rattling President cannot be trusted to make good decisions, especially not where thousands of innocent lives are on the line. South Koreans should not have to pay for Trumps vain attempts to distract from damaging revelations at home. It is time to put a check on Trumps incompetence!”

“Actively preventing small-scale wildfires is precisely the mistake that leads to these massive and dangerous fires. By allowing nature to take its course and allow smaller fires, the fuel needed for devastating fires like we are seeing now wouldn’t exist. Trying to prevent all wildfires is a naive a…”

“Even if these measures work and opioids are less available for options addicts, they will only go to heroin sooner. Heroin is more dangerous, so this will lead to more overdoses. Eliminating illegal opioid smuggling won't end the opioid epidemic, only revised prescription procedures and regulations …”

“"The standards are costly for automakers and the American people" - Scott Pruitt. This excuse for failure to do anything meaningful about climate change has been used over and over again by politicians with the interests of big business in mind.

“This is a very arbitrary bill with no precedent in the US. As many other commenters have mentioned, no other type of manufacturer is responsible for damages caused by their products. While I understand the helplessness and drive to do something that many people feel after the horrific trashed yin La…”

“While I agree that the UN should adopt this definition of international terrorism, this is not the way to achieve it. The US is already in poor standing with much of the world due to our foreign policy in the past and the reckless and childish actions of our commander in chief. This action is very p…”

“This is proposal, while attractive for oil companies, hurts everyone else. This is a protected wildlife refuge for a reason, and that reason isn't to allow the exploitation of natural resources. If the US economy wants to be competitive in the future, it needs to invest in renewable energy, which wi…”

“While this would be an interesting idea under any other circumstance, but the President's repeated attacks on protests during the national anthem and threats to the NFL for failure to stop them make the environment toxic for such a bill. This bill was proposed to follow through on a threat made by t…”

“There is absolutely no reason for anyone to own such a device. Deer can't shoot back, and your regular semi automatic rifle will do just fine against a home invader. If our government becomes tyrannical, a few people with machine guns won't be the difference, the government can still crush any revol…”

“A nuclear first strike is meticulously planned, so there is plenty of time to get Congress' approval. Especially with the current President, we cannot trust the president alone to make such an important decision for the entire world. Our president cannot be trusted and needs to be kept in check in a…”
