Considering the outgoing President saw no reason to work with the Congress that the people elected, I'd say this is a step "forward."

I just found out that LA doesn't reuse their wastewater. Here this whole time they have been talking about things like building a pipeline from the Great Lakes and they don't even treat and reuse.

You must be completely ignoring the context and the media response that followed. Even President Obama cared enough about it invite him to White House.

Girls didn't want to pursue science because it has had a severe social stigma attached to it. This created a self-fulfilling prophesy that ensured only social outcasts with no social standing to lose would consider being interested in

They read the Mail and Express because their counterparts are biased and devoted to pushing narratives, and have little interest in informing anyone when it's inconvenient to their worldview.

It's a starting point in an investigation. "Only my great uncle from Mexico." Not much further inquiry required. "3 people from Tehran" Get their names and do a little investigation. "No" Caught them in a

This very story. They lost the election and suddenly "Warning Signs Are Flashing" for democracy.

No, my point is that people should think their partisan rhetoric through, unless they want to put themselves into a position of being a complete hypocrite. But since you asked, yes, I do think these "concerns" about Russian hackin

Democrats were right when they said the losers of this election would refuse to accept the results.

We absolutely would not be talking about the fake news disguised as satire about how Trump is going to send people back to Africa, or round up all Hispanics into internment camps, or ban the practice of Islam, or nuke the middle east. We ce

You must be talking about the accusations in 2008 of Sen McCain being literal Manchurian Candidate.

>Donald Trump himself has asserted on his own Twitter account that these protests are illegal. I'm going to need to see that before I take your word for it.

Look, Democrats are suddenly concerned with civil liberties again, after 8 years of a "change" President who continued the "fascist" policies of his predecessor.

Your comment really shows how weak this argument is. No on is arguing that protests are not speech. No one. If you are reducing to arguing that hypocrisy can't exist because freedom of speech is a thing, you need to pick a different ba

This is a pretty terrible argument, to be completely honest. Everyone engaging in political hypocrisy is using their freedom of speech. Colbert in Oct >"Oh, suspense," Colbert said. "Democracy is going to end with a cliffh

Protesting the results of the election when you lose right after months of badgering the other side about accepting the result, and then accusing them underming democracy, is making Clinton supporters look really bad.

You are correct. I didn't mean to direct that at you, but rather the larger problem of blue collar workers being an out-group of discourse at the national level.

How about recognizing the difference between a policy like "rounding up all the people of a certain race" with "said a mean thing to one person."

And right now working class, rural, and blue-collar Americans are in the left-wing out-group.

And I mean that with no sarcasm. I would genuinely like to see you make the case that you are not racist, sexist and/or misogynistic.

Rural or blue collar Americans only have one place in America where they are represented on the national level: the ballot box. All of the shocked media people and here on HN live in a bubble and have no idea what it's like to live in

The country is filled with them once you leave the city - and they all turned out to vote last night. My first two jobs were seasonal work on a potato farm and then working on the line in a packing plant. Neither of them would be available
