Her lumping of the groups of individuals whose personal prejudices lead to their support of Mr. Trump in a "basketfull of deplorables" was unfair. She should have, instead, named those groups: the misogynists, the racists, the xenophobes, the homophobes, the anti-intellectual zealots, the birthers, the climate-change deniers, and the "anti-govenment" nihilists (exemplified by the Bundys and their supporters) and expressed her displeasure with their views and actions. Are these folks "deplorable".....no, of course not, Hillary was very politically incorrect to call them so. However, IMO, their views, prejudices and actions are "deplorable." Those views and resulting actions are divisive and destructive and a true threat to the well-being of our nation. Ms Mulligan: I'd never call you "deplorable", but, I'm guessing, I'd find some of your views less than admirable if you fall into one or more of those groups I mention. | No flag | No flag | Allow | No action | Checked |

Trump is a treasonous and incompetent tool, the rhetoric towards him is factual and deserved. He is the biggest instigator of violence. Here are some facts, Trump has flip flopped on all of his promises, the few hate filled ones that he attempted to follow through on were shut down by the courts, because America is not, nor will it ever be, a Christian European nation. The racists already lost the war once... apparently ya still ain't over it and STILL don't stand a chance. | No flag | No flag | Allow | No action | Checked |

He claims not to know whom he talked to or what he talked about. Then he had to get bailed out by two Republicans when he got into hot water under Kamala Harris's questioning. For somebody claiming to be concerned about Russian interference in US elections, he certainly demonstrated a complete lack of knowledge about those events, and a stunning lack of curiosity about them. He's protecting Trump, Trump's advisors, and himself with his faulty memory. And Republican committee members aided and abetted the charade. | No flag | No flag | Allow | No action | Checked |

Like any powerful new technology, it is neither good nor bad, it simply depends on how it is used. Curing diseases such as fragile X syndrome, cystic fibrosis or Tay-Sachs syndrome as well as creating a novel super-flu that kills millions are both easily within reach now. CRISPR allows editing to nearly any genome accurately, easily and cheaply. Like nuclear fission, once discovered, there is no putting the genie back in the bottle, ever. The nation and indeed the entire world needs to figure out a strategy to deal with the repercussions, and quickly. What that should look like, I truly have no clue. | No flag | No flag | Allow | No action | Checked |

None of these appalling features of our current politics should ever be regarded as normal. Mr. President, I rise today to say: Enough.

This will filter down to parishes where some priests will ignore the Episcopal guidelines and do their own thing one way or another. According to the doctrine of Primacy of Conscience no pope or bishop can oblige a priest or anyone to act against his conscience and do what he considers to be evil. I believe that this was St Thomas's original concept on this question. Therefore, no priest can be obliged by his bishop to give Communion to those whom he considers in conscience to be living in an adulterous relationship if he believes it would be sinful for him to do so. Current interpretation of Primacy of Conscience can work both ways. Naturally I disagree with you that the teaching of the Church is just rules. Love of God is paramount, an absolute. We are counselled to love our neighbour as we love ourselves an injunction which is relative.
