President Trump had harsh words for one of his most fervent opponents during the pre-Super Bowl interview with Fox News's Bill O'Reilly that aired Sunday. Not President Vladimir Putin, mind you, whose alleged unpleasant habit of murdering journalists met with a shrug from the president. No, Trump lashed out at the nation's largest state, California.

Trump is stubborn, because of everything he wants to change on his terms states will start to rebel. He needs to learn to negotiate with others wants or the whole country will rebel and then it will be out of control.

There shouldn't be a war at all, i don't really see the point of why he is going to take California's money. Maybe he should cut down some of our military money. Take money from something that is a lot more wide ranged than California.

"The National Rifle Association and other gun owner groups are suing California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other officials after gun stores were deemed non-essential businesses and ordered to close during a statewide stay-at-home order to curb coronavirus infections."

That's really cool! I would like to ride in one of these! Although I probably won't be able to for quite some time.

Personally, I would not want one, for it to run on detailed maps, and be able to override and read every factor of driving, it would require the internet. Assuming it is using google maps, what if it cannot connect to the internet? That's dangerous. To add, like ever machine, there is going to be an error, and this will probably raise accident rates.

. . . Google in general honestly kind of scares me. Like, yeah, the Chromes and Docs and stuff are beneficial for school things, but they don't have to try to take over the world. (And Payton brought up a good point with the car needing to be connected to the internet to work.) Also, has anyone heard about how Google asks you for your real name instead of allowing you to use a screen name (or something like that)? I remember, I think it was two days ago, that I was going to post a comment on a YouTube video that I had watched with my YouTube account that I've had since 2007, and then Google was all like, "Oh hey want to show your real name instead of your screen name?" and I was like, "Heck no." And there have been times where they purposely log me out of my Google account, and then when I sign back in, they ask for my cell phone number and I click skip because I'm not giving my number to Google. It's for some stupid information loss thing or whatever. But who knows if they're actually protecting your personal information and your privacy?

I think that all people should have to pay the same tax rate.

(CNN) -- With just a few clicks of a mouse, kids as young as 12 can have free condoms delivered to their doors in California. And that idea is garnering mixed reactions from Californians.

i dont think they should be able to but yes i do belive that they do need to learn about pertection ... but no they dont need them

I agree with Hannah, they should not be getting condoms at 12 that is way too young to even be thinking about doing that kind of stuff. But I also agree with Spencer, they should be taught about protection that way when the time comes MANY years later, they know what the right thing to do is.

updated 10:25 PM EST, Mon November 21, 2011 (CNN) -- Months after a jury couldn't decide his fate, a Southern California teen has agreed to plead guilty for gunning down a gay classmate three years ago in their junior high classroom.

Clinton is almost certain to clinch the Democratic nomination by the time the California race is decided on June 7. But with Sanders suddenly taking off in the polls, the Clinton campaign is leaving nothing to chance and pulling out all the stops to avoid ending the primary season with an embarrassing, if only symbolic, loss to Sanders.

"When states choose to permit the marriages of same-sex couples, can the federal government refuse to recognize their validity?  But by also taking up the California case, the court could get to the more fundamental question of whether the states must permit marriages by gay people in the first place."

I think life in prison would be worse than the death penalty to begin with

@ Dylan, you are not a prison warden, keep the topics on this page relevant to the conversation, and have some potential form of evidence to back up what you say. @ Joe, it is much less expensive to keep someone alive then execute them. The death penalty is much more expensive than life without parole because the Constitution requires a long and complex judicial process for capital cases. This process is needed in order to ensure that innocent men and woman are not executed for crimes they did not commit, and even with these protections the risk of executing an innocent person can not be completely eliminated. Example State: California How much they could save: With life in prison as the maximum punishment for 1st degree murder, they would save over 1 billion dollars a year. Money that could be saved per year for taxpayers: 90,000 dollars a year. Taxpayers save money if they do not use the death penalty. http://www.deathpenalty.org/article.php?id=42 Besides, many murder victims PREFER the idea of Life without Parole. If you do not believe this, check out this site made by the victims families: https://www.aclunc.org/docs/criminal_justice/death_penalty/Voices_from_California_Crime_Victims_for_Alternatives_to_the_Death_Penalty.pdf I have the feeling that nobody will even look at these links, but they are blunt evidence that it is cheaper, and makes more people happy, then when we use the death penalty. Oh.... By the way, 2nd degree murders (who cannot receive the death penalty) can do all that which you stated before Joe. Why should first degree murders be any different?

The death penalty is dumb you should just let that sever his/or hers time in prison.

In case anyone is interested in reading or listening to the oral arguments in Hollingsworth v. Perry.

This is a really short article, but from the little information that's stated I think the case is unfair. I don't think the daughter should be charged with manslaughter if he suffered from a heart attack.

No one plans on having a heart attack when they get into a fight with their parent. So she shouldn't be charged with manslaughter involuntary or not.

I don't think she should be charged. She did not kill him, his body died out on its own. It may have got his heart rate going but its just a freak accident. Its not like she wanted to kill her dad. Although she shouldn't have been fighting him.

This is a big shake up in a place where many people have been so comfortable for so long. And the little brother will never be the same.. finding his sister stabbed to death..? I can't imagine.

how did someone manage to get a knife in school and still be able to stab someone without being seen by anyone so i think they should have more security.

It's sad to know that there are people out there who do these horrible things for no reason.

Declining to participate in the Fox News debate -- which Sanders had agreed to -- is another clear sign that Clinton and her top aides are fully focused on the general election against Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.

(CNN) -- Three San Jose State University students in California have been charged with racially bullying their black roommate by clamping a bicycle lock around his neck and decorating their four-bedroom suite with a Confederate flag, Nazi symbols, photos of Adolph Hitler and a white board with a racial epithet, prosecutors said Thursday.

Isn't this lovely? In California, some folks in California who signed up for Obamacare got their personal information (name, phone #, etc.) shared with insurance agents and people like that WITHOUT their consent... Isn't this a breach of privacy? Let's hear what y'all think!

This whole Obamacare crap Is driving me even more insane. When will It finally end!?

California's Senate passed a bill Thursday by a 24-15 vote that would automatically register to vote anyone who gets or renews a driver's license, unless they chose to opt out. The state Assembly already passed a similar bill in June. If the Senate version passes an Assembly vote, as expected, the measure would head to the desk of Gov.

"A NEW paper by Emmanuel Saez of the University of California, Berkeley, and Gabriel Zucman of the London School of Economics suggests that, in America at least, inequality in wealth is approaching record levels."

This is crazy to read about. It's hard to believe (somewhat I guess) that the top 0.1% have 22% of of America's wealth. Barely a difference from the peak of 1929.

The bodies were discovered as authorities investigated the abuse of a third child, according to a police statement released Monday. Tami Joy Huntsman, 39, and Gonzalo Curiel, 17, both of Quincy, are being held in the Plumas County Jail on the initial charges, authorities said.

this is horrifying. you have to be a very messed up person to do this.

People are just cruel and don't know what they have done before they do it and before you know it they think its a good idea to hide the bodies thinking no one will find out.
