  1. @Denise Glover: So what you're saying is that Omar is so powerful that she can compel a body of 435 people to do her bidding? 🙄

  2. You'd think that in a country where olive oil is a major food group, keeping olive farms going would also be in the public interest.

  3. Alpha Alcove  The vast majority of the people resigning and being fired though are people that were hired by Trump.

  4. Rslee Lee  The UAE is nowhere close to being a democracy.

  5. One of my local grocery stores set up a similar system in which you're supposed to go one way down each aisle. The theory (emphasis on "theory") being that would result in less people in each aisle and you would be able to keep your distance better.

  6.  @ricardoalvarez2800  I'm probably going to sorely regret asking this, but what Muslim would've become king or queen? Any children Diana and Dodi may have had wouldn't have been in the line of succession since Diana herself wasn't.

  7. I've got an even better idea. If the news outlet isn't catering to your worldview, don't watch it.

  8. @Pan-European Novorossiyan Confederate Republican Kids who were born in France to immigrant parents didn't exactly have a choice in where they were born and raised, did they?

  9. From what I understand, the shooter wasn't involved in an altercation with any of his victims, so there wasn't anything to walk away from.

  10. I'm not a fire investigator, so I could be wrong, but wouldn't the point of origin of an electrical fire look different than the point of origin of a fire started by a cigarette?

  11. Don't forget Canada.
    2
  12. Because French and English are the official languages of Canada.

  13. Why? He was born in the UK.

  14. Why was she determined to dock in Italy? You'd think she could've found a port in another country that would've been more agreeable within two weeks.

  15. @Bon Shea: Hawkins and Jorgensen are the only two candidates that I'm aware of who are on the ballot in enough states to theoretically win 270+ Electoral College votes.

  16. @consuelos consuelos How do you know Jorge Ramos is Mexican and wants "open borders"?

  17. Maybe the New York and Boston Marathons should be looking at this for inspiration? 😀

  18. Christmas was celebrated on December 25th ages before anyone thought about living in America.

  19. Never have thought much of Johnson, but I'll have to agree with him here. France needs to grow the flip up. I don't blame it for being unhappy at losing a lucrative contract, but that's no reason to recall ambassadors and have a public tantrum.

  20.  @casteretpollux  Well, since you supposedly have more knowledge about the situation than I do, please educate me.

  21.  @casteretpollux  It's been my experience that people who tell me to "look it up myself" (or words to that effect) usually have no idea what they're talking about themselves.

  22.  @anthonybanchero3072  What do American politics from 100 years ago have to do with St Pierre and Miquelon being a French territory?

  23. With help from the Great Pumpkin and Santa Claus. 🙄

  24. It seems that there's a bit of a discrepancy between the video title and what was actually shown.

  25. Clinton will be 89 by Election Day 2036. Under normal circumstances, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that she could still be alive then.

  26. Poor sentence construction, not knowing what positions the supposed key players held, using all caps, and using swear words are facts that lead me to ignore conspiracy theorists. If they want us to take them seriously, they have to learn how to present their evidence as if they were trying to convince us to hire them.

  27. @judodavid1: We're still in Afghanistan nearly 10 years after the capture and execution of the mastermind behind the reason we invaded that country. What makes anyone think going to war with Iran is going to turn out any better?

  28. Really? I thought these were people exercising their right to free speech by expressing their opinions as to what's going on with Trump and his attempts to build a border wall.

  29. Why now and not before it became a republic?

  30. To be honest, I don't see where that should be the British government's concern. British people in EU countries have had two years to either start the process to become a permanent resident or citizen of the country they currently reside in or make arrangements to return to the UK.

  31.  @theboss-wy4cn  How can you claim to want a "respectful debate" when you use the ugly r-word?

  32. Using that immature and stale phrase is pathetic, I agree.

  33. I thought Sweden had dropped that case?

  34. I call anyone, regardless of what country they call home, a terrorist if he (and sometimes she) goes around killing as many innocent people as possible in the misguided belief that those murders will somehow achieve a political aim.

  35. Are there still nuns who wear habits?

  36. Eusunt Dac  Can the UK say, "Oops, sorry, we've changed our minds," this late?

  37. This tragedy occurred in Florida, not Maryland.

  38. If Trump was cooperating, those papers would never have left the White House in the first place.

  39. @Liberty Doctrine: So US military and diplomatic personnel stationed overseas are committing fraud every time they vote?

  40. Be careful what you wish for. A government that has no hesitation to ban sites you don't like will eventually end up banning something you do like. Or, as a wise man once said, "If they'll do it for ya, they'll do it to ya."

  41. Why bother recognizing "West" Jerusalem as the capital if there are no concrete plans to move the embassy?

  42. This is France 24, a French news network.

  43. Which has what to do with whether or not Melania finds him attractive?

  44.  @hcwcars1  Regardless of whether one thinks she's a criminal or a humanitarian, it puzzles me why she was determined to reach Italy when there were other ports she could've sailed to which would've allowed the ship to dock.

  45.  @Irishtradchannel  That doesn't give anyone the right to threaten her life.

  46. The next US Presidential election isn't until 2024.

  47. The next US Presidential election isn't until 2024.

  48. So news outlets shouldn't report the news?

  49. @Vincent V: Okay, I down voted you.

  50. I'm beginning to think that spelling "border" wrong is some online fad. I see it way too much for it to be occasional ignorance.
