This wasn't the prosecutors decision on this one, this was the DOJ. They didn't prosecute because there wasn't a case. Freddy Gray died at his own hand, he thought if he was injured he could sue. Problem was he did too good a job on himself. Seat belts haven't been utilized in paddy wagons for eons. Scratch it up as another loss and concocted story for the Black Lives Matters folks, maybe they can embellish the Michael Bennett story so more and live another day.

I guess it doesn’t matter if he resigned or was asked to leave….. “White House counselor Kellyanne Conway told NBC’s “Today” show that Flynn “knew he’d become a lightning rod” and made the decision to resign.” “House Speaker Paul Ryan said Trump made the right decision in asking Flynn to step down.” . But this does matter…… “White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Mr. Trump was informed 17 days ago by White House Counsel Donald McGahn that his national security adviser had not been truthful when he told Vice President Mike Pence that he had not discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador.” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/us/politics/donald-trump-administration-michael-flynn-resignation.html “Flynn was part of Trump’s daily briefing Monday and sat in on his calls with foreign leaders…” Why was Flynn still sitting in on daily briefings and calls with foreign leaders 2 weeks after Trump knew about his lies?

Clinton and her smug fan club did lots of laughing at unemployed and hurting working class people in the U.S. rust belt states. ("LOL!!! . . . "old white men, racists, hillbillies, deplorables, coal miners, who needs them??? hahahahahaha" ). Trump hired a brilliant pollster named Kellyanne Conway to run his campaign. Ms. Conway realized that the these rust belt people, who had voted twice for Obama, did not appreciate having their legitimate concerns dismissed while being mocked. And they voted..

I can see that. I came of age and went to college in the 80s, and I hated Reagan so much that Clinton was great by comparison! I don't hold Lewinsky against Bill, because I thought it was nobody's business. He shouldn't have lied; he should have told the investigators to go you-know-where. I do think real estate people are right up there with used car salesmen, and that deal was probably crooked. But I also remember Hillary trying to get universal healthcare, which I really could have used, then and now. And Trump seems like the biggest liar and flim-flammer of them all.

I have been fervently promoting #ZilleMustFall on the basis of her position up till the apology conference; now I believe she deserves another chance to redeem herself. Why did I make this apparent U-turn? Because, anyone who knows her, knows how utterly embarrassing this massive climb-down was for her. It is a pity how little empathy exists among the many people who claim this was a farce. Try putting yourself in her position, knowing all that you know about her. Imagining sitting right next to your boss who repeatedly tells the millions of people watching (or even just the few dozen in the room) how you cocked up. I shiver! But I must qualify my satisfaction by saying that she, and most politicians (most people) don't truly understand how to apologise. They always add some sort of qualification. The people to whom the apology is due, are not particularly interested in the apology per se; all they need is for the offender to show they genuinely understand how wrong they were.

Funny how the right wingers who want government to get completely out of their lives, are all for rules controlling your sex life and what drugs you can have and whether or not you can have an abortion.

The federal government is going to make over-the-counter codeine illegal in early November. So now if you've got pain that can't be controlled by Tylenol aspirin or ibuprofen well you're just out of luck, feel free to suffer.

If Trump were a D&D aligned character: Chaotic Evil A chaotic evil character does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. He is hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. If he is simply out for whatever he can get, he is ruthless and brutal. If he is committed to the spread of evil and chaos, he is even worse. Thankfully, his plans are haphazard, and any groups he joins or forms are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can be made to work together only by force, and their leader lasts only as long as he can thwart attempts to topple or assassinate him. Not a serious statement, just trying to figure out a good analogy for Trump and company.

On our 150th, I am deeply saddened by the lack of leadership in our political & judicial system. These types of awards are simply outrageous and an insult to hard working Canadian taxpayers who ultimately pay the bill (and who likely subsidized the lawyers who are the defacto winners in this situation). Not to mention the disrespect to our own armed forces personnel. Why $10 million to Kadr & his lawyers, why not $10 million to disabled and ex-military veterans. At some point, one must consider civil disobedience as a natural and reasonable response to this subtle form of tyranny. If this is the stewardship we can expect, then it's time to "tea party" the authorities by refusing to contribute to this corrupt system.

In reality Gianforte could have pushed the obtrusive reporter [I use the term 'reporter' loosely] towards the door in effort to forcibly remove violator of personal/private space, could have been blocking the microphone from being forced into his face, or even responding to an attempt of physical harm.

He is the epitome of white privilege - unearned wealth, boyish good looks and unbridled access to anything or anyone based on his last name. If PET was not his father, he would still be sweeping snow off a chair lift for minimum wage. This government will never be able to deliver anything of substance.

Not true. This man has "two arrest warrants for probation violations," so, SB91 wouldn't help him get released, not one bit.

The Deputy GSA Commissioner may have said that but it is not the official position of the actual agency. An Agency spokeswoman announced that basically the agency does not and cannot have a position with regard to the old post office property until Trump's financial arrangements are completed and he is sworn in. In other words, Trump is not doing anything at this time that is in violation of anything and would not be until after he is sworn in as president depending on arrangements that may be completed prior to his being sworn in. Keep dreaming Johann. By the way, the only way that we know that the Deputy GSA Commissioner said that is from these democrats, who have a sterling reputation for the truth and facts?

“Furthermore, on prime ministerial travel, as is always the case, the RCMP makes determinations around what is the most secure way for a prime minister to travel,” Trudeau said. ------ Like sending high security armored vehicles to India for the PM's motorcade?

President Barack Obama's political comments emerged when a gunman had killed five police officers in Dallas, assailing him for his focus on gun control, his overseas trip, and his treatment of the law enforcement community. Speaking to reporters earlier in Warsaw, Poland, where he is attending a NATO meeting, Obama on Friday called the Dallas shooting a "wrenching reminder of the sacrifices" law enforcement makes for the American people, but also remarked "that when people are armed with powerful weapons, unfortunately it makes it more deadly and more tragic, and in the days ahead we are going to have to consider those realities as well." Ben Carson lit into Obama within the first hour after his remarks. I wonder if all you liberals had the same reaction when President Obama made the same style of comments?

I do not believe this will affect the intensity of the investigations on the Russian meddling with our elections. Congress is not going to allow the possibility that putting this aside could result in have information come out in the future that indicates what happened during election cycle was ignored by allowing another issue to stop the hearings. The intensity of the missile attacks on-the-other-hand might not have destroyed the base. However it certainly had to get Assad's attention and illustrate the US has the capability to do far more than talk. How Assad acts in the future is truly unknown as he exhibits the tendencies of a mad-man who might not care if his entire country is destroyed. Congress and not the president must set the course for future actions in Syria. For Congress is empowered in the Constitution to make the required decision.

I'm a little disappointed, but I think all would agree it's not wise to proceed on a change to the voting system without widespread public demand. In terms of overall democratic reform, I hope all parties continue to look at the workings of Parliament and the PMO, with the goal of increasing the ability of individual MP's to speak their minds and re-energizing the principle of the supremacy of Parliament. We also need to look again at party financing, hopefully reinstating the $2 per vote subsidy, to reduce (at least somewhat) the need for constant fundraising with all its associated ethical issues and its ugly feeding of hyper-partisanship in our politics.

'About 1,000 soon-to-be immigrants in Iraq were told that they would not be allowed to board flights already booked. Some were removed from planes. Thousands more Iraqi applicants had to restart the immigration process, because their security clearances expired when the program stalled. Men must now pass five separate checks, women four, and children three." Sound familiar? Not allowed on flights, remived from planes...

These assumptions seem to have some big holes. Clinton's economic policies seek to pick up in large part where Obama is leaving off, and he created over 10M (that's MILLION) jobs - about 10x as many as his predecessor. Bill created 22M using similar "building" and "strengthening" language. Clinton also has presented plans on how to support small businesses through both increased access to financing and simplifying regulatory processes. So while we don't know exactly what will happen in terms of future job markets, this assumption of a shrinking market doesn't have much by way of facts to support it.

It would be very difficult to sweep away ALL the barriers to trade among the provinces. It is the provinces that set the standards for licencing of professionals and qualification of tradespeople. Unless and until the provinces all have the same standards, there will be problems in getting credentials from one province accepted in the other provinces. Similar issues apply, in many cases, to goods. The provinces set standards for what can be sold in the province, so even if it's legal for you to bring a non-conforming whatsit from another province, it may not be legal for a retailer in your province to sell the same non-conforming whatsit.
