Get it right. It's a reality TV self promoter vs a maleficent scheming sell out. Don't confuse the two.

Not in that particular post, no. But I appreciate you checking. The day I think of Facebook as a news source is the day you get to call me blind. The day I believe the crap Facebook puts in my face is the day you get to call me partisan. Both dates have not yet come.

Don't like it? Go start a Facebook rival. Or keep whining about it. Both are permitted in the free market.

We're on the verge of electing a president from reality TV. Might as well whine about the journalistic integrity of Facebook news.

Guess we'll see how it plays out. We already know more or less what Hillary said from the many eyewitness accounts. So that will be a non story. Trump's tax returns, however, will be a story.

Wrong. We already know what she said so the transcript release is not that big of a deal but she can use them in the political game of thrones. Once Bernie is out. She will crank up the heat on Trump's tax returns...he will hit back with the transcripts. That will go on for a few days. Then she will release them and leave Trump as the only one hiding something...which will bury the content of the transcripts (which is mostly already known) as the second story to Trump's lack of transparency on taxes. Politics is a longer game. The transcripts do not hurt her with Trump as her opponent at all. They destroy her with Sanders as her opponent. Trump's taxes, should they come out, will show he's nowhere near as wealthy as he claims. That's a given. And he's going to look really bad in a superficial way that matters since he's the superficial candidate.

Exactly. Only Sanders can get traction over the speeches. Trump can't. She will release them after the primary to a momentary media franzy then it will be over.

That is the bigger story. I doubt there's anything in those transcripts that would hurt damage her worse than she's already damaged. She went to Wall Street and blew them on stage because they gave her money. Bernie will attack her for it but will anyone change their vote? We already know she's a whore for whatever will help her get elected.

Hillary is being an idiot there, but I suspect there's less in those transcripts than in Trump's tax returns.

Your oversimplifaction of the article notwithstanding, it raises an interesting point that treatment for many things is available before an act is committed, but pedopilia we don't even try to treat. It's actually screwed up. We should try to treat people who feel the urge to act (but don't) AND AT THE SAME TIME, punish actors with the harshest penalties possible. And that's where the article's title "Pedophilia a disorder, not a crime" gets it totally wrong.

I can't wait until his self-valuation evolves when he releases his taxes. The rise of the tax releasing is only just starting. Such an easy target.

Paul Ryan getting close to selling out. Disappointing.

The exciting news is that it's only the beginning!

That head to head number keeps dropping and I'm as shocked by it as anyone.

This is the bash Trump thread. Hillary's thread is a few below. Let's not cross the streams.

Trump-onomics. How to deal with the debt: Two approaches. 1) You cut a deal and pay back less than you owe 2) You print more money http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/09/politics/donald-trump-national-debt-strategy/index.html?sr=fbCNN050916donald-trump-national-debt-strategy0133PMStoryLink&linkId=24281059 You can't make this guy's stupidity up.

Doctors act as a gatekeeper to drugs, with mixed success in that role.

No one gets Rx drugs without doctors. Doctors are the gatekeeper to drugs like lawyers are the gatekeeper to lawsuits.

Just hopping in on this one point. The patent term is 20 years from the date applied for and a bio patent's term gets extended for delays in the FDA approval process using something called patent term extension. To Magox's point, I want the drug companies to have high margins. They take the biggest risks in R&D.

Paterno obviously knew and either took it up the chain and then did nothing or just did nothing throughout. I don't care about him at this point but I still find it despicable that the "School" and its defenders keep football at the top of their priority list. This scandal was just a little bump in the road. Back to celebrating the culture that allowed this to happen.

So the guy who will finish with the 3rd most votes in this process, which is rigged by the establishment according to you, is not establishment? Bernie came a lot closer to winning this than you think. If the nomination process started now, I think he'd be our next president. He would beat Hillary an polls show he'd destroy Trump. That is, if the Illuminati didn't intervene and poison his green tea.

Compulsory licensing in one form or another exists in many countries. India uses it for drugs. Europe has some version of it for telecommunications. As the country doing most of the R&D, the US has always resisted it (your contrary example notwithstanding).

What are you saying here? I don't follow.

Bernie Sanders.
