By and large, young people in England and throughout the UK remain firmly opposed to Brexit, which they see as an irrational infringement upon their future opportunities imposed by selfish elders who are living in the shadows of Empire. Unfortunately, young people also tend to disdain their right to vote, and in this case, that disdain cost them dearly.

And residents of the City of London and its environs, one of the most cosmopolitan places on earth, voted overwhelmingly against Brexit. The bulk of Brexit's support came from the industrial midlands and rural communities, areas which were impacted the hardest by the UK's transition to a post-industrial economy.

The resentful residents of these regions were ripe for plucking by political charlatans such as the odious Nigel Farage, who offered them a simplistic and misguided panacea, by which separation from the European Union and the resultant expulsion of foreign labor would somehow liberate the British economy.

Brexit has been a toxic Pandora's Box for the UK. And Prime Minister May's rigid and unyielding position in its pursuit has only made matters worse by amplifying the divisions amongst the British people.

Unfortunately, thanks to the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act of 2011, the likelihood of new elections being called in the UK before 2020 is fairly low. So, May's government will remain in place.

Even though Bernie was not a Democratic Party member -- and frankly, we were misled by Vermont Democratic Party leaders who said he had signed a party card in Burlington -- and even though Hawaii state law requires a candidate to be a member in good standing of the party under whose banner he / she is running, we allowed his name to be placed in nomination.

Further, even though caucuses are nominally restricted to participation by party members only, we waived that particular rule to allow thousands of non-party members to come and vote.

So, please spare us your own personal "poor Bernie / bad Hillary" fable / saga, Lora. I've heard them all and the primaries are over. And to be perfectly blunt, you're talking out of your a$$ here, and making a baseless charge about nationwide intra-party chicanery that you can't otherwise back up with any actual evidence or data.

Despite any personal preferences expressed by DNC leadership, Sen. Sanders was given every opportunity by the various state Democratic Parties across the country to compete and to win, because primaries and caucuses are functions of states and not the DNC. Bernie competed, and he ultimately lost because nearly four million more Democrats voted for Hillary Clinton nationwide than for him. Bottom line, end of story.

If you and other unreconstructed Berniephiles still don't like it, then take a hike and join Jill Stein and the Green Party. At least you'll find something in common with Dr. Stein, in that you both love to concoct excuses about what happened in 2016 rather than deal with actual reality, you both share a personal penchant for self-marginalization, and given what both of you are saying, there is obviously no "us" in either of you.

My point was simple.

It is silly to blame the cause of something on the man who has been President for less than 75 days.

Especially when, prior to 11/8/16 no one gave him a chance of winning and he was widely disrespected and made fun on in and by the media.

And, of course, my comment was satire.

the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

Your comments, besides trying to be personally hateful, reveal a scurrilous personality and follows in the same vein as attention to the number of homeless always going up when a Repub president is elected.

Worse, it removes the focus of the problem from the Marines and places it on Trump. That's like shooting your neighbor's cat because his dog is barking and keeping you awake.

Even worse, or better from Trump's view. it places your claim in the ridiculous category and reduces your support.

So, I'm not quite sure what the NBC honchos expect to gain by these particular moves, particularly with Kelly, who's engaged in race-baiting on more than one occasion. In Dec. 2013, she manufactured a wholly unnecessary public brouhaha over her nonsensical insistence that Santa Claus was white. Does NBC News really want someone like that anchoring the third hour of its flagship morning show?

Have you seen the body cam video? I haven't.

No one knows why they started shooting.  Do you really believe they intended to execute the boy?  I find that extremely hard to believe. It's been reported they called for back up.  If that's true, why would they decide to murder someone in front of witnesses?

One thing for sure the police wasted little time arresting the two marshals.  The superintendent of the Louisiana State Police basically said it was an unprovoked shooting. I'd still like to see the video and more evidence.  

pathetic and spineless and mindless

i feel...

everything is structured against women in policing - the assumption should not be that a police officer needs to punch and wrestle and physically overpower a man high on pcp. because if that's the criteria than women can never be in policing and i reject that assertion.

But if it was a knife and the man had grabbed it out of the car and charged the officers it is quite possible the police could have missed or his wounds were not sufficient to put him down before he wounded or killed the officer.

A secondary issue in your example is that a group of police had the man surrounded with enough fire power to take him down if he attacked. That was not the case in this situation.

The two lessons that I would want my Grandson to take away in this is:

1. Don't use drugs. Using them puts you in harms way.

2. If involved with the police do exactly what they tell. You can sue over their actions later.

Do you really think this information isn't true? Didn't she essentially admit that it was true generally, through a friend/spokesman?
