If you choose to see the slogan "Make America Great Again" through the prism of race, then I guess that is what YOU choose to see. I don't. It's just one more political slogan in a sea of political slogans found during election years. Trump may be an opportunistic, obnoxious huckster, not qualified to be president, but I don't think he is a "racist".

While I think Trump is a lousy candidate, and I hope he loses to Clinton, I'm still glad he got the nomination rather than Cruz. I think Trump would make an inept president, but the Dominionist Cruz would have been a horrible disaster for our country.

I work downtown 5 days a week. I love the dog ban, yet just this week I have had to dodge dog poop from the Quackenbush Building all the way to Voodoo Donuts. Not just a little poop but a LOT of poop. You can tell it's dog poop because the owner obviously dragged the dog along while it was dropping deuces in a nice long line. I also still see a few un-neutered large "pitbull type" dogs in the downtown core....2 just this week. My personal opinion is that the downtown area is a bit better than last summer as far as the number of "people who congregate" downtown, but it is not even close to feeling safe or nice or clean. I suppose "Kesey Square" is more pleasant to walk through now that there are tables displacing the people who just lie on the sidewalk. There are still people aggressively "asking" for money but they are more spread out now. To be fair I have not been to the Park Blocks recently so I cannot comment on it being better or worse but 10 years ago I liked eating lunch there.

"In fact, if he had supported Gore, the election wouldn’t have even been close." Have to disagree with you on that Hugh. We had good reasons for not voting for Gore. Before he discovered global warming, which I'll give him a lot of credit for, Gore was another Bill Clinton, a conservative pro-business southern Democrat hawk, only without Clinton's political skill. During Clinton's first term Gore wanted to reduce Social Security benefits. He had to be told that the typical SS recipient was an old woman who barely made ends meet. He was a lousy candidate who didn't even carry his home state of Tennessee. Nader was not to blame for Gore's defeat, which was deserved. A lot of us were sick to death of the Clinton presidency by 2000, and we were not going to vote for its continuation by Gore. Nor will we vote for a repeat by Hillary Clinton. We are revolting against business as usual, as we did in 2000. The Democratic party can move left or die.

No, the province shouldn't do anything -- the market determines what a reasonable rent is by location. It makes sense that rents should increase with RE because: - It costs landlords more to invest in new properties, and - Landlords can sell the existing properties for a handsome sum and invest in something else With that said, rents will also decrease if RE prices start going down. I get that rising RE prices (and hence rents) suck, especially for people on fixed incomes, but it isn't the landlord's job to make housing affordable. The only involvement the Gov't should have is in perhaps subsidizing low-income individuals who can't afford the market rates.

The pope was reflecting in his homily Saturday on a reading from Luke’s Gospel, in which Jesus gives what is commonly referred to as the “Sermon on the Plain.” Coming down from a mountaintop, Jesus tells his disciples to “love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” No wonder the haters keep calling him "anti-pope."

If you vote Democrat why wouldn't you be a registered Democrat. All this 'unaffiliated' and "independent" designation is really just posturing--pretending you have choices where you really don't. For what policy or reason would any "Democratic leaning independent" vote either Republican or for a Republican? What do these people say to themselves? I don't want to register as a Democrat because I sometimes like to vote for fascism and fascists ? The worst Clinton haters have on her is that she voted for the Iraq War resolution? She gave her reasons at the time and in hindsight has said she regrets it. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/war_stories/2016/02/hillary_clinton_told_the_truth_about_her_iraq_war_vote.html Sure she's a capable liar--she's a politician who's been attacked by Republicans for years--that's a necessary skill and I actually admire it. Like Krugman said, people unfairly hold her to a higher standard because she's a woman. It's idiotic but predictable.

Why is it that when a theft or burglary takes place on the south side, EPD responds quickly enough to catch the perp. Meanwhile, when Whiteaker residents call in a burglar, we get a 6.5 hour wait for a response. Remember the thief who grabbed some electronics off a porch near SEHS last week? Well, we had a tweaker do the same thing in the Whiteaker, the difference is we didn't get a dozen cops within minutes, we got one cop thirty hours later. This deplorable creation of a thug/bum/criminal safe zone by EPD is going to come back and bite the entire city where the sun doesn't shine if we don't correct it soon.

Let me fix your ignorance. In the state of Minnesota; "Upon request of a peace officer, a permit holder must disclose to the officer whether or not the permit holder is currently carrying a firearm." He was legally carrying a firearm and announced it to the officer who shot him when he was instructed to get his license. The officer had no reason to be serving in the capacity as law enforcement. He was too frightened to do his job, over reacted and murdered an innocent driver. The laws are written in the state to give him the benefit of doubt and he was acquitted as a result. He will no longer serve as an officer of the law and for that, people should be releaved.

63 is way too old. He would be a senior citizen for practically the entire time that he is office. Young Americans are sick of being ruled by tired, old, senile men who grew up in such a distant generation and are so totally out of touch with current society. Members of the Supreme Court should face mandatory retirement at age 65. Having them serve until they die is totally idiotic and archaic. It creates chaos like this whenever one of them dies. The only good thing going for him is that he is a hardliner on domestic terrorism, and would come down strongly on nutcases like the Bundys. As a prosecutor, he ran the investigation and preliminary hearings in the Oklahoma City Bombing case against Timothy McVeigh. And he then supervised the team that prosecuted him and got the death sentence. So he would help insure that America's domestic enemies like the Bundys and their allies receive the stern justice that they deserve.
