    "In September, President Trump announced he would end DACA and left it up to Congress to come up with alternative legislation. But with less than a month until that March 5 expiration date, lawmakers and the Trump administration remain at an impasse."

    I feel very saddened that this happened. His views were noticed, but it shouldn't take him killing himself for his voice to be heard.

    Hilarious metaphor, and seeing the reactions of the customers was priceless. Although it's quite disheartening that the majority did not know what Net Neutrality was.

    hilarious but ridiculous I do not agree with net neutrality
  • mrief493 on 30 Jan 18
     
    I think that it is slightly weird that a food chain restaurant is commenting on net neutrality. I doesn't really seem like they should care either way about the ruling. I think they might just be trying to cash in on the recent controversy to make an ad that people will share and talk about.
  • tnewman319 on 07 Feb 18
     
    I think fast food places doing net neutrality is really weird and frustrating for their customers. Having to wait a certain time until you get your food would be very frustrating as a customer. So that's saying that jimmy johns would not be freaky fast anymore if we had net neutrality, it would only be fast if you paid for the most expensive one???

    I think the customer should ask worker what is slow MBPS before to buy burger, then they don't have to spend time for a just burger.

  • jherrington221 on 07 Feb 18
     
    I think that this was a perfect way to explain what net neutrality was and what it protected. I also think that the exaggeration of it made it even better.

Donald Trump thinks not clapping for him is 'treasonous' - CNNPolitics - 8 views

    Well in the article it says "He was joking! He didn't even say that it was treasonous! He was just agreeing with people who said it was treasonous!"
  • bethanyfoley on 07 Feb 18
     
    If this is true then it is very discerning that Trump would agree that not clapping for him is treasonous. After all, isn't America supposed to be where you can state your ideals without getting punished?
  • mborgaila831 on 07 Feb 18
     
    "What Trump is saying is that dissent -- which is what Democrats are doing when they choose not to clap for a line in his speech -- is traitorous and/or un-American."

    How do you all feel about items/weapons like these being readily available and advertised?

    I saw the merchandise he was selling on Twitter, and it's quite fascinating at the amount of sales he's generated from these products. I think Elon holds so much influence over people that he's able to create a product, and immediately gain success from it. According to the article, the weapon does not violate any limits, so citizens should have the right to own such a weapon.
  • jacobjensen113 on 30 Jan 18
     
    I think flame throwers are a little extreme
  • connor garges on 30 Jan 18
     
    I think it is completely ridiculous to allow citizens to own a flamethrower. Who in their right mind thinks "hey it would be a nice day to carry this flamethrower around"? By selling these weapons you're just asking for issues.
  • estelapetit on 30 Jan 18
     
    For what reason would anybody need a flamethrower?
  • reeganfilip on 30 Jan 18
     
    i think it woukd be cool to have a flamethrower even if i dont need it, it still would be cool
  • aruss77 on 30 Jan 18
     
    I dont understand why someone would ever need a flamethrower, but it is cool
  • nfahrenkrog on 30 Jan 18
     
    Its not like anyone can just order one. First of they have to have the money to order one and they would have to go through some sort of screening to make sure its not some psychopath getting it.
  • slindsey503 on 30 Jan 18
     
    Elon is... interesting...
  • dmckiddy517 on 30 Jan 18
     
    I can see he is selling flamethrowers for that tunnel project, but can't you sell something besides flamethrowers. Like girl scout cookies?
  • lpruitt897 on 30 Jan 18
     
    I like flamethrowers it's funny how there is fire extingusihers underneath
  • rhoag202 on 30 Jan 18
     
    As long as he is following all the rules that come along with manufacturing and selling weapons I feel like he should be able to do it. Yes a flamethrower is a little on the extreme side but as long he is staying within the realm of the law I feel like it should be allowed.
  • jherrington221 on 30 Jan 18
     
    Flamethrowers are like guns so if the person buying the flamethrower is able to buy a gun then they should be able to purchase this as well.

    "Given Alabama's rejection of judicial override, the death sentence in this case constitutes cruel and unusual punishment and violates Mr. Madison's rights to a jury, fair and reliable sentencing and to due process and equal protection of the laws as guaranteed by the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution and Alabama law," they wrote in their petition."
  • kegner573 on 30 Jan 18
     
    I understand that Madison has become mentally ill and doesn't have memory of the crime he committed, but he still committed the crime and was sentenced to the death penalty at first. However, due to an Alabama law no longer allowing the death penalty I think life without parole would be a good alternative for him.
  • mborgaila831 on 30 Jan 18
     
    "Mr. Madison suffers from vascular dementia as a result of multiple serious strokes in the last several years, and no longer has a memory of the commission of the crime for which he is to be executed," How does this make the crimes he has committed go away?

    "The change came because Kaylee Cole and her mother Christy had finally had enough, and decided to take on the school system by filing a lawsuit alleging there is systematic official promotion of religion at Webster Parish schools in violation of the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment of the US Constitution."
  • kileywalden on 30 Jan 18
     
    The school forcing religion among the students goes against the first Amendment, we as citizens of the U.S. have a freedom of religion and it is against the law for public schools to force a religion on anyone.
  • emedina132 on 30 Jan 18
     
    Cole had a great offense when her school was promoting to pray. Which was something she did not please. To the fact that the school she attended was "public".
