Donald J. Trump ?@realDonaldTrump: Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn't easy to do. I like Mike!
Dear Mr. President - You are an idiot for taking on one of, if not the, best and most popular players to ever play the game of basketball. If you must respond to Lebron James's criticisms simply state you regret he feels as he does and that by the end of your presidency you hope to have changed his opinion.

Wrong. Schools must equip students to navigate all websites that push fake news. Alt-right and alt-left.
Disagree. At worst purchasing on line will be a push when taxes are added. Brick and mortar will still not be able to match online selection and convenience. Example; I wanted a stainless steel kitchen sink stopper/strainer and a 512GB USB thumb drive. Drove to Home Depot, Lowes and Ace Hardware. All stopper/strainers were plastic. Drove to Best Buy and Walmart. 512GB USB thumb drives were out of stock. Purchased both items from amazon.com. One order, multiple selections, less expensive even with Amazon adding sales tax. Throw in the cost fuel driving store to store, considerably less expensive.

Question: They're with their parents (illegal immigrants), and then suddenly they're pulled away from their parents. Why is the government doing this?
Sanders: Because it's the law. And that's what the law states.
I don't want to hear 'Because it's the law'. Jim Crow laws, laws that enforced racial segregation, were at one time the law. That did not make them just or morally acceptable.
