While I'm not a religious person by any stretch of the imagination, I'm beginning to think that Trump may be a close resemblance of the Anti-Christ. He's dazzling right-wingers by the millions, wields insults against women, tramples on our liberties, and comes across as an anointed evil narcissist. Frightening that T...

It certainly does not appear that ADN's new comment process has brought any greater degree of civility to the comments being made.

Did he shut down her speech? I see no mention of Ms. Dodd having been removed in chains. She said something racist and stupid at a public forum, someone pointed out that she said something racist and stupid. There are consequences for behaviors.
