The Nobel committee can rescind its regulations when they are abused. Have to change the by laws, but in this case, that will work.

What she did is a disgrace.

The Nobel committee has never rejected an award. This may be the first time. They would have to change their by-laws to do so, but in this case, it is required.

Withdraw the award.

The pedophiles are being protected by the White House. All of this is a distraction from the Epstein files, but eventually, the truth will come out when the Dems take over Congress.

What kind of danger was this woman to society?

How were they keeping America safe from a white citizen who just dropped off her son at his school?

This is a state criminal charge. The federal government has no access even though this guy worked for them. The criminal authorities in Minnesota must work to subpoena the killer in this case.

And they call themselves Christians.

Maybe it is because he has been tied to Jeffrey Epstein and does not want to show his face in public.

They first were attacking people because of the color of their skin. Now, they attack a white citizen who tried to escape the federal gestapo.

I proudly voted against the majority of clueless Democrats and cast it for Conor Lamb. I said that he was a lightweight who never held a full time job before becoming LG of Pa.

She could not hold a light to Tip O'Neill. Now, there was a speaker who stood up to a Republican president and fought for the people.

She took over in 2006, but four years later, we were annihilated by the Republicans -- the key target for the Tea Party.

2018, the same. Four years again, lost .

Remember this came from the right wing post.

A despicable organization.

I am an American, and while I was educated in religious schools and grew up in a religious family, I do not believe in heaven or hell and do not believe that a God exists.

Many of the founding fathers were not christians, either. Washington and Jefferson and Madison were Deists.

Well, as Democrat for more than 50 years, I say, Good riddance. She has not provided the leadership for the Democratic Party, and we are where we are because of the lackluster leadership over the years.

The ACA passed despite her, not because of her. She lost almost 40 of her caucus who voted no.
