Gregg Hurwitz: The Trump presidency could turn out to be the best thing for us IF we address the underlying social injustices, get money out of politics, etc. Let this be rock bottom & we work our way up.

Nick Fish: I think we were all a little surprised by the Supreme Court decision today. Gorsuch in particular has been idiosyncratic about things, but he interpreted the law the way he said he does--which doesn't always happen. It's a gold star day for LGBT Americans

Devin Pandy: We need to demilitarize the police. Have a police force that is involved in the community that they're serving. If the only time they go into the community is to patrol, that's wrong. They should be part of the community.

Arthur Steinberg: We have an inherently racist system that was exemplified by the murder in broad daylight by police; Mr. Floyd's only crime was being black. Until we stamp out that racism, we can't improve our society. It starts with education.

Bob Ney: C'mon, Rick--you know you want Trump to be turned away from being able to vote...and then lose the election by one vote! Rick: You'd think he could fill out a simple form to vote. He tried to register in FL w/ out-of-state addr. Bob: He was registered in NY.

Abe Amoros: Incendiary language is completely unnecessary. Trump has essentially bred little dragons everywhere & they are breathing fire. They want to see the chaos so they can come back even stronger.

Tiffany Bond: I think it's really hard to take any thing Susan Collins says seriously. I give her as much credence as I do my 7-yr old when he's trying to watch an inappropriate cartoon.

James Curbeam: We wouldn't be where we are today if those four officers had been arrested, taken into custody right then & there. We have a tainted, broken system that hasn't woken up yet.

Bob Ney: Some of my friends tried to tell me Trump wasn't holding a Bible in front of the church--it was a fake cover over The Art of the Deal. I don't know the purpose of the photo op Rick: People literally were shot with tear glass & rubber bullets to get that photo op

Scott Dworkin: Trump found out about this virus as early as Dec. and did nothing. He lied when asked about it. He kept people on cruise ships to make the numbers look lower. Over 100,000 people have died & he claims that as a victory.
