this is a blast to read, at least 10 times as fun as it sounds.

Why does North Korea think we are the ones threatening world peace and safety when they are the ones publicly saying they are ready for "Total War" and are prepared to use their nuclear weapons? Does Kim Jung Un not realize that using nuclear weapons IS a world peace/safety hazard?

"Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump tweeted: "Another attack in London by a loser terrorist. These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!" I feel like they are just assuming that it is a terrorist when it could just of been a normal person.

True true. The definition of terrorist is, "a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims." This person may not have been pursuing political aims, they may have just been trying to cause a ruckus.

Hey it's us... we're famous! It was interesting to see our numbers next to TJ as a city comparison. The state totals would seem to indicate a Trump win for Iowa, even though CB leans Biden. We will see soon who is right.

i feel like a lot of people lean towards Biden more because of influence from social media. high school kids aren't actually doing their research and coming up with their own opinions

I agree with Carmella because younger kids tend to believe anything they see without digging into the actual facts and doing their own research. Younger kids also tend to follow trends and supporting Biden was close to becoming a trend.

RBG death sets the stage for even more 2020 political drama. If you read other stories about the battle to fill her vacancy, pay attention and post to Diigo; we will certainly be discussing this in class.

RGB was someone who fought for equal rights for women and the LGBT community and it seems scary for the future since she was one of the only ones stopping their rights being revoked. :( Her legacy and goals should be remembered and we should keep fighting for what she was working so hard for.

RBG fought tooth and nail for equal rights for women and LGBT+. Her legacy is tremendous and she is for sure a very respected political figure. I think a lot of people are now scared about what is going to happen with her death and what it means as to who will fill her position. I know there are some people who are are saying that someone needs to be appointed right away, but her final wish was that her spot not be filled until after the election.

This is what happens when a candidate doesn't CLEARLY and UNEQUIVOCALLY denounce racism and white supremacy when given the chance to do so on national TV.
