Scott Dworkin: Trump was told immediately about Putin's murder for hire; anything Russia-related, Trump is told immediately per his orders. That's the only country he wants to know everything about.

Propane Jane: I think the couple with assault rifles in the video should be charged with something. Most gun owners are married white men in the south. Racism has sustained the "well-regulated militia." This is the language that motivates these people.

Sarah Burris: Statues don't vote, so I'm not sure how saving them helps the President. There's only one Confederate soldier outside in DC; the mayor could very easily get rid of it.

David Yankovich: Biden's trying to build an online army. It'll take basic old school organizing. They need a rapid response digital structure; if they don't have that in place in the next month or two, it'll be too late.

Carl Rosen: All workers struggles are important to our union. We need to put an end to racism & discrimination. We're glad to have the ability to have this conversation now. We've spent way too much on policing & way too little on building up communities.

Michael Flanagan: There would be constant cleaning by custodial staff for commonly-used items, like laptops, tables, etc.Where will the money for those extra cleaning supplies come from? Teachers already do GoFundMe for basic supplies b/c of budget cuts

Jeff Hauser: South Korea is playing baseball. Germany's soccer teams are wrapping up the season. We're so far behind other countries because we have no leadership & the pandemic has been mishandled. We socially distanced but not enough.

Propane Jane: NASCAR was the first to call for banning the Confederate flag. I'd asked back in 2015, "Oh my God, is this what hell freezing over looks like?!"

Bob Ney: The important part is why the rally in Tulsa was held, & why it was held this week: It was to energize the President because things aren't going well for him. I'm not a rocket scientist on this but the campaign manager will be fired soon. He angered Kushner.

Scott Dworkin: It's Obama vrs Trump, and Obama hits the campaign trail next week by doing a fundraiser for Biden. I think Obama is the person poised to be the biggest voice of reason.

William Hamilton: We need to start looking at this country as a labor force that's being taken advantage of by Corporate America. We have to start taking care of the people who go to work every day, regardless of political affiliation.
