    United passenger forcibly removed from plane for not giving up seat

    Is the David Dao incident a turning point in the US airline industry for customer service? Very quick settlement and positive comments from lawyers about United. Probably gave them everything he wanted and more. Also looks like other airlines are changing policy. United Airlines reaches...

    Why hasn't the GOP repealed Obamacare and where is their alternative Health plan?

    I understand the potential benefits of HSAs, and my employer contributes some amount. However, i don't believe health insurance should be thought of primarily as an investment vehicle or tax dodge that some people are using it as. The 10 or 20% coverage reduction, or being uncovered for some...

    Trump Team Floats Tariff Talk. Major Pushback From Republicans.

    SURPRISE!! Trump is a populist protectionist with nationalistic tendencies.... Fits perfectly with GOP conservatism right? It's gonna be fun watching White House and Congress dance and spin around each other on healthcare, trade, spending, foreign policy, etc... it will be unpresidented.

    Can someone explain to me why NAFTA and TPP are bad?

    The Race Tightens

    I wouldn't be so sure. Polls already indicate higher expectations for clinton over tump for the debates. Anything other than utter annihilation of trump by clinton will be perceived as a loss for clinton.

    Up to 100,000 Iran-backed fighters now in Iraq

    What's in Iraq that's so important that we need to have a base there other than to protect troops already in Iraq. We have bases all around the ME that having them right between Iran and Syria seems like they would only be used to protect themselves. I mean, are we trying to conquer the swath...

    Up to 100,000 Iran-backed fighters now in Iraq

    Would it really be that bad if an Iran/Russia coalition dealt with the Iraq/Syria problems? I mean, we saw how much success the US had in those two countries over the past decade and a half. Maybe we should just let someone else take a stab at it?

    Donald Trump: ‘I Hope’ Russia Hacked Clinton’s Email Servers

    Well maybe Russia can hack out Trump's tax returns. That will certainly help tell the truth about the guy... unless you prefer his lies that there's nothing to be gained by seeing his tax returns.
