  1. At the 1:30 point, you have the reason why Trump and Romney want to cut funding to public broadcasting, it is EXACTLY because of these stations' balanced even-handed treatment of news items. Trump and Romney would much rather you get your news from the extremely-biased, racist, sleaze-ridden Fox network, owned by the ABSOLUTE KING OF SLEAZY GUTTER-TRAWLING MEDIA, Rupert Murdoch.

  2. Pelosi holding back the Articles of Impeachment is her simply being cautious as she wants the process to run its course properly, but she knows this can't happen at the moment because the Senate is being led by the BLATANTLY CORRUPT "Moscow Mitch" McConnell.

  4. Pedro Tricking: I'm not of indigenous descent. but that does not excuse your contemptible remark.

  5. +SimpleLivingKim, thank you. Couldn't have put it better myself.

  6. Reagan's son, Ron, is NOTHING LIKE his father. Ron Reagan is an unabashed atheist not afraid of burning in hell(as he says it on his promo for the Freedom From Religion Foundation's "Freethought Matters" programme).

  7. In Australia, we NEVER had any of this "pledge of allegiance" bullshit when I was in primary or high school. That Atlanta school doing away with the pledge....WELL DONE!

  8. The fact that David Pakman is Argentinian and jewish should mean diddley-squat! It's his ability to present his segment that matters most.

  9. Texas's "State's Rights" are superceded by Federal Government laws. Texas cannot have its cake and eat it too! Texas wants to act like it's independent of the rest of the USA, then Texas should not be allowed to call on the rest of the USA to bail Texas out of crises that Texas brought on itself.

  10.  @toneyingram732  Who else but this total imbecile president could think(?)* that losing over a thousand-million dollars(a billion is actually 1 million-million, or 1 with 12 zeroes after it) is a "good strategy"? *Is this idiot even capable of thinking at all?

  11.  @Ianthe22  Judging by the Watergate scandal, America NEVER learned anything from that. America NEVER learned anything from the Viet Nam War because we've seen Iraq and Afghanistan since then. America seems utterly incapable of learning from its history.

  12. Jackson, I would safely say that you and I, we're in the vast majority on this issue. Those sticking up for the girl are themselves racist and are in a VERY small minority.

  13. Shaynel, I believe she was treated MORE than fairly. She made a rude, racist comment that was completely uncalled for and she was of an age where she would've known that to be a wrongful thing to do. The apology to Adam Goodes, when it finally did come, was insincere as it was forced, she was told to do it rather than do it voluntarily. She is now 18 but I sorely doubt she's learned anything from that episode of 5 years earlier.

  14. Veganath: "We big apes are gentle giants" You have shown by your choice of words that you are INDEED racist! This IN SPITE of your claim not to be so. Indeed, the first words uttered, "I'm not a racist, but....." are the very first words uttered by racists. The girl was in the wrong and was caught out and called out on it. There can be NO excuses for her behaviour as she WAS old enough to know better. And there can be NO excusing YOUR racism, Veganath.

  15. Cat Smith: "It was his right too make a stand against racism for the whole world to see"! That's pretty-much what I've been saying! And for the record, I'm of mixed Scottish and English heritage, so I would not know what it's like to suffer racial taunts, I freely admit that. But for someone like Adam Goodes, that sort of thing is, as I've noted, a daily occurrence and it would wear him down over time, as it would you. So yes, Adam WAS INDEED right to call that girl out on her racial taunt.

  16. Religion(christianity, Judaism, islam) is a massive roadblock to progress. The day humanity gives up on its fairytale beliefs is the day humanity "grows up".

  17.  Randall Johnson  Trump could read, but only up to the level of a kindergarten pupil. Which leads me to believe he dictated his tweets and someone else typed them for him.

  19.  @thegheymantis8702  It would be if they(the Left) were blocking a bill which was nothing more than a greedy "money grab" by the right that only benefitted the politicians while the ordinary citizens got "diddley-squat" out of it! ("diddley-squat" means zip, zero, zilch, nothing, bugger-all!)

  20.  @srelma  Trump has INDEED Irreparably DESTROYED America's credibility around the world. America will NEVER regain any respect in the world, regardless of who may be President at any time, now or in the future.

  21. No, there was no mistake! It was straight-out unabashed sleaze from a gutter-trawling network, which CANNOT EVER be simply waved away as a "mistake".

  22. "Collect and put together".... A tautology! Collect means put together, and vice-versa.

  23. Your debates should be EXCLUSIVELY on your PBS(Public Broadcasting System) network. CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, CNN should be NON-GRATA at these events. Here in Australia it is often the National non-commercial network ABC which stages events like this and in a far more civilised fashion.

  24. That would be true except for one thing...... The Republicans HAVE NO CONSCIENCES!

  26. The remorse shown was NOT genuine! The so-called "shaman" should've been sentenced to life imprisonment for TREASON!

  27.  @Ianthe22  Sadly though, the rot set in LONG BEFORE Trump! It started with Nixon and the Watergate break-in. And All that criminality Nixon involved himself with, cover-ups, missing chunks of tape recordings.....the whole kit and kaboodle! And the replacement president, Gerald Ford, Instead of ensuring there'd be an end of the corruption by enacting legislation to keep Nixon in prison for the remainder of his life, as it should've been, Ford PARDONED Nixon, thereby setting the precedent that future presidents can be as corrupt as they like and the most punishment they can expect is a "slap on the wrist". Sadly Nixon and Ford never got to answer properly for the injustices they committed.

  28. @88Gibson LesPaul You are by no means the only person who thinks Trump has dementia. Indeed there have been a number of videos posted to YouTube by various commentators, including David Pakman.

  29. Under a compulsory vote system, fringe groups with only a minority following(KKK, Nazis, Alt Right etc.) would see their vote cancelled out by the mainstream party votes. The fringe groups couldn't possibly hope to gain any kind of foothold in the system, no matter how much money they spend on their campaigns. But under the USA optional vote system, a fringe group can muster enough voter support to "get a foot in the door" if, through apathy, other voters, who might've voted Democrat or Republican in large enough numbers, stayed home and watched that umpteenth rerun of "Leave It To Beaver" instead of getting out to the polling station and voting. Those fringe parties would use democracy to "get into power" but once in, there goes democracy down the gurgle-hole(drain).

  30. +WWZenaDo: My thoughts as well! Voting isn't so much a "right" as it is more a "duty" to your country". With compulsory voting, the unsavoury fringe parties' vote would be effectively nullified by the votes for established parties.

  31. +Robert, we've had compulsory voting in Australia almost from Day 1. But then we get these far-right f**kwits like the former Prime Minister, Tony Abbott wanting to do away with it, and it's arseholes like Abbott and Corey Bernardi, Pauline Hanson and the likes with their backward-thinking far-right babble that make it an absolute imperative that we RETAIN compulsory voting that we can keep these sort of people out of our parliament, or at least limit the damage they could wreak on our parliament.

  32. Sadly yes. You'll find such low-life scum in just about any country you visit. Australia is not immune to this disease either.

  33. She is a high-school-aged girl, OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER. She'd be 18 years old by now as this event took place back in 2013, it's now 2018, nearing the end of her school years. She should NOT have got off lightly simply because of her age.

  34. Bill Power, thank you! You've summed it up brilliantly!

  35. There's been NO overkill. Adam Goodes was perfectly right to call out anti-social(racist) behaviour from a teenaged girl who had no legitimate excuse for her behaviour. Shaynel, you claim to be a member of an ethnic minority, then you do your people no service by trying to excuse the inexcusable. I wanted to buy out of this argument but I keep getting dragged back in by uninformed comments like this.

  36. Veganath, the one thing you have NOT touched on is DISCIPLINE! The child was NOT DISCIPLINED by her mother and thought it okay to cast racist insults at Adam Goodes. Adam Goodes reacted the ONLY way he could in the circumstance. And You have, I strongly suspect, deliberately IGNORED that element in this atgument.

  37. Learning Now: You are quite right. I is NOT Adam Goode's job to teach good manners to children, that is the role of the parent(s). But it IS Adam Goode's right to be able to follow his career WITHOUT being vilified, insulted or derided for his ethnic background.

  38. William Barr AG is VERY WRONG! A President CAN be indicted for any kind of criminal activity. Presidents ARE NOT above the law.

  40.  @ellisjames7192  HAH! If Nixon "respected the office and the country", he'd never have organised the Watergate Hotel break-in in the first place! He never would've had anything to do with it at all! But Nixon was power-hungry and would pull any stunt to get re-elected. He got his fingers well-and-truly burned. He wasn't called "Tricky Dickie" for nothing.

  41. Banned, not band.

  42.  @alfonsogobaleza7968  That's right enough about Trump, but the Republican Party has been rotton-to-the-core corrupt going back to the days of Richard "Tricky Dicky" Nixon, and even before then.
