SpicyBoi's JournalChuck Todd: Why didn't DeSantis get the benefit of the doubt?
I will update with a video or link when I find it.
Yeah, but why are WE honoring John McCain?
I am confused. I see us desperately trying to police other people's opinions of a guy I hated. While I have respect for the family of John McCain going through a tough time, why do we care what other people think of the guy?
Let's not forget the following:
McCain voted against the creation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day
McCain has been quoted using a racial slur in reference to Vietnamese people.
In 2013, McCain made a racist joke about Iran's former president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
During his 2008 run for president, McCain made an Islamophobic comment at a town hall event.
McCain gave a speech impugning Republican senators for their dubious process in getting their health care bill to a vote and then voted for the overhaul.

Am I wrong to think that McCain deserves the Antonin Scalia treatment from us instead of the tongue-bath he got in the media?
Eric Schneiderman sick "fetishes"
From the New Yorker article:
This guy is a disgusting human being and never should've had a position of power. Prove me wrong.
Black Marjory Stoneman Douglas students want the movement to include their voices too
Since my first post was dismissed without consideration (mostly), here's another article on the same topic. This time, it's not a random BBC blogger, but MSD students themselves.

BBC: Is the gun control movement too white?
Protesters are being accused of hypocrisy, as some ask why they didn't turn out for the Black Lives Matter movement, which was set up in 2013 to end police violence against black people and highlight the impact of gun violence in ethnic minority communities.
We should really analyze how we're pushing our message going forward as we want to be inclusive to everyone's opinions. I thought this was some food for thought. Link below:

UPDATE:
I'm also going to add this link since people aren't even listening to the crux of the argument.

Clinton: I Urged 08 Supporters to Back Obama, Didnt Get That Respect from Sanders

Wasn't Hillary's supporters leading the "PUMA" movement from 2008? Did they just not listen to her?...How would that be any different than Sanders supporters not listening to him.
"That's because you, Russia, funded riots in Ferguson" - Louise Mensch
http://www.snopes.com/blm-ferguson-russia/The claim was soon picked up by others, and quickly started roaring around social media. Mensch did not offer any evidence for her claim nor an explanation as to why a riot would need any funding source. But there is no credible evidence for the claim; the unrest in Ferguson unfolded organically, and because it was well-documented by people with camera phones and the news media, it can be traced from the moment Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown (an unarmed 18-year-old African-American man) to the marches and street violence that resulted.
BLM activists should be livid at her being given a platform, totally diminishes what they were doing in Ferguson.
Trump Tax Plan to End Deductability of State and Property Taxes
What do you think of this?
I think he's purposely attacking the blue states since we pay more in state taxes (CA/NY).
