    This is a bad thing because he was trying to help Russians gain access to us and find tactics that would hurt us if attacked. Although being told it wasn't a way of getting in it was a good thing to take this seriously because we don't know.

    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?

    I don't think Hiliary had the right to go and meet the Russian president like that and then write a book on how much she didn't like Trump. When I don't like someone and they make my skin crawl I can't do anything about it but since she is rich and former White House 1st lady she can?
  • maxaqramirez on 06 Sep 17
     
    You actually can do things about it. And yes, she can. She is allowed to say that Trump made her uncomfortable.
  • erin_stokes on 06 Sep 17
     
    I actually think almost the exact opposite. While I think Hilary went a little overboard, she had every right to do so, as stated in the first amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." And if it wasn't in Hilary's right to write that book and state her personal opinions on this matter, then what gives us the "right" to bring back nazis and treat others as second class citizens, saying it's all opinion and just exercising their free speech? And yes, you could do something about it, and many people are doing something about it. Hilary is just much more likely to get noticed and was noticed by the press because of her status.

    People should not be allowed to bring guns to the polling stations. These can be used as a form of voter intimidation which is a crime, though at it's core I have respect for people's right to carry, guns should never be used to scare or intimidate voters
  • hharker376 on 26 Oct 20
     
    This should not be allowed. This could cause many harmful things including intimidation and crimes against a particular group of people.
  • josephinelamb on 26 Oct 20

  • saralong057 on 26 Oct 20
     
    This shouldn't be allowed. It's unnecessary and could cause an even bigger issue than there would have been if a gun hadn't been brought.

    Thanks for posting this Jessica! A good amount of responses so far. I will post a wikipedia link for state-by-state carry rules. If that isn't tricky enough, some states have laws differentiating "carrying" a firearm and "brandishing" (holding it pointed toward someone). I suspect we will be hearing more about this over the next week. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_United_States_by_state#Iowa
  • cmacias539 on 26 Oct 20
     
    No people shouldn't be allowed to bring a gun because agreeing with someone else's comment, it would only cause more problems than solutions, therefore it is unnecessary.
  • laurenhansen168 on 30 Oct 20
     
    I don't think people should bring guns to the voting site because it may cause others not to come and may scare people. It would not be safe and there could be many things to go wrong.
  • jcooley186 on 02 Nov 20
     
    I think bringing guns is super unnecessary to bring to a polling site, it could scare people away and possibly be the cause of an injury or death.
  • carmellahargens on 13 Jan 21
     
    i think that unless you have your concealed carry licence, you should be able to bring it. yes, there is a chance of people being afraid, but there is nothing you can do about that. it isn't going to harm the election in any way and there are rules that have to be followed in order to be given the privilege of the license in the first place
  • bigslide on 27 Jan 21
     
    why would you bring a gun, something for self-defense, killing, hurting... to voting sites? ummmmmmm
  • thepriceisright on 27 Jan 21
     
    I simply do not see the point. I mean sure you can bring them if you are licensed but that doesn't mean I'm not going to judge you because clearly, the purpose is to make a statement, and not for self-defense. It's not like a grandma is going to point a gun at your head and make you vote Biden.
  • ataylor074 on 27 Jan 21
     
    I personally think that you shouldn't be able to bring guns to voting sites. People are already intimidated going to these places to vote, and adding weapons would just cause more harm than good.
  • nadialove on 27 Jan 21
     
    I personally don't believe there is any reason to bring a weapon to voting sites at all. There should be no weapons in a building during a government event.
  • gavync_alhs on 27 Jan 21
     
    If the gun holder has a licensed weapon and has years of experience with guns, then I think it wouldn't be a problem. A problem I noticed in the USA is everyone is very paranoid about guns, but not the person holding the gun. If the person has had little to no mental health issues and had years of experience with guns, then It shouldn't be a problem.
  • matts999 on 27 Jan 21
     
    It doesn't make sense for people to be able to open carry firearms because votes could feel intimidated by the weapons into voting for a candidate they don't actually like.
  • hannahliwai on 01 Feb 21
     
    i can't think of a reason of why people can bring guns into voting places. yes, they have a right to own one, but i don't think you need to carry a gun with you to vote
  • eballenger on 01 Feb 21
     
    I think it's okay for someone with a license to carry to bring one in because that's the entire purpose of a license, but I think it should be kept to only small firearms in the event that someone were to attempt to attack a voting site.
  • pcloyd_flanagan on 01 Feb 21
     
    I do not think people should bring guns to voting sites there is absolutely no reason. It only takes one person to get mad or get their feelings hurt and then start shooting then people are hurt or even dead. Especially when the world and the people are like the way they are right now.
  • tkoesters274 on 25 May 21
     
    I don't think that people should bring guns to voting sites because it would be easy for them to just decide to shoot it up if people don't agree with them.
  • hschimmer540 on 25 May 21
     
    I don't think it's a good idea to bring guns to voting sites because there is no point to. You wouldn't be in danger more than likely so there is no reason to take a gun with you to vote. And it may make other people uncomfortable and feel less safe while voting.
  • bigslide on 25 May 21
     
    It's a bad idea. Why would someone need to bring a gun to a voting site? Just vote and then leave. leave your gun at home for this.
  • jcontreras201 on 25 May 21
     
    I think it's a bad idea to let people bring guns to voting sites because theirs literally no reason to, there going to vote, and if anything letting people take guns will just make it worse.

    I believe that it is good that the mask law has been lifted a little because Texas and Florida did it first and they have not had any negative results in doing so. What are your thoughts?

    I think that it's about time for us to not have to wear masks anymore. We have had to wear them for a long time, and at this point, I feel like enough people are vaccinated or going to be vaccinated to lift the mask mandate.
  • abbidominguez on 25 May 21
     
    I think the mask mandate was lifted way too early. There are not nearly enough of us vaccinated to reach herd immunity and schools ends in the next week or two for the majority of schools in Iowa. I think it would have been much smarter to wait until next year to do so that way we could finish out the school year without disruption.
  • hschimmer540 on 25 May 21
     
    I'm glad the mask mandate was lifted and a lot of people weren't really wearing them, to begin with, and a lot of people are getting vaccinated so I think a good step forward and getting closer to normal.
  • bigslide on 25 May 21
     
    don't really like this idea. It was lifted way too learnly. Most of the people who decided to take off their masks aren't even fully vaccinated. it will be sad when most of them die.

  • alexisprazak on 28 Nov 11

    When it takes a apology letter is needed to work with the gov then they need some one new to take that office. If it was his own kid then it is understandable. but when he does not know them then they shouldn't bother him as much as they have. and it is true that twitter holds many things that are far worse that deal with the gov't.
