Through five years of war in Syria, President Obama has been in a constant internal struggle with hawks in his administration who want the U.S. to directly intervene militarily to overthrow the Syrian government. On at least four occasions Obama has stood up to them, although at other times he has compromised and gone half way toward the hawkish position.
Yesterday a Trump protester interrupted the president's appearance at a Hillary Clinton rally in North Carolina, prompting Obama to quiet down a rowdy crowd and urge it to respect the man's right to free speech. That's a radical difference from the Trump approach already, but the GOP nominee saw things differently-accusing Obama of "screaming" at the protester and that the whole scene was a "disgrace."
Katy Perry's "Roar" has been a theme song at every Hillary rally this cycle, so it's no surprise that it's the center of her closing argument ad. But what an ad it is.
During a rally today, Paul Ryan was describing a world we don't live in, where there is "scandal after scandal, leading to investigations" of the Clintons. As the crowd cheered, a very loud voice from the back shouted back, "Lee Harvey Oswald, where are you when we need you?" This is the Republican Party.
Corporate media reacted harshly when Donald Trump said in the last debate that he would wait and see what happens before accepting the election results. "I will keep you in suspense," he said.
Mr. Tramp is not my patient and I have never met with him , However by using accepts rules of psychology , observation of behavior, reading his biography , exploring the significant childhood events , assessment of his behavior under pressure and in public, measurement of his vocabulary and syntax , reading of close relatives writings about him, and spending a significant amount of time analyzing a his interaction with others , I could come to a reasonable diagnosis of his character. Obviously people who are more public and extroverted are easier to understand than those who are more quiet and introverted.

Richman criticized the media for sensationalizing Comey's letter to Congress on newly found emails from Clinton adviser Huma Abedin without explaining that "We don't know what's in them, and it's entirely possible that there's nothing in them."
Fox News' Judge Napolitano tore into FBI Director James Comey for injecting the FBI into the political process, informing Congress about Anthony Wiener's laptop, linking it to Hillary Clinton without any proof and violating his oath of office and due process. Judge told Fox News' Shep Smith, "There was absolutely no duty, obligation, or right for him to announce that the Clinton investigation had been opened."
This story of where Jill Stein has invested her money is reasonably interesting, if just a tad bit unfair. Basically, her retirement is tied up in mutual funds that are terrible because they exploit labor and the environment.
During Local 234's last strike in 2009, Brady was instrumental in resolving a six-day work stoppage and said he was again prepared to help resolve the financial gap between the union's demands and SEPTA's offers.

If you're feeling bereft, take note: Bernie Sanders is still here loudly fighting the good fight, this week blasting the avarice of Big Pharma so persuasively he sent their stock prices plunging to a seven-month low. After battling Big Pharma for decades - pillorying the makers of the emergency allergy injection EpiPen for obscenely jacking up their prices, recently calling out another company's price hikes on leukemia drugs, and campaigning this fall to stop price-gouging by seen by many as Ground Zero for drug companies and their 1,266 D.C. lobbyists - Bernie isn't letting up.
One often hears commentators argue that the Republican party is in danger of following the Whig party into oblivion. The implication is that the Whig party was as out of place in the modern world as the Stegosaurus, and that the contemporary Republicans resemble them in their quaint archaism.
The Reddit MeIRL crowd produces some of my son's favorite internet snark - and provides a bridge between 16 y.o. consummate savvy and [mumble mumble mumble] technological cluelessness.
