| What an idiot. Everyone (including crackpots like Ridd) have a de jure right to free expression of political ideas without censure by the State. Nowhere in the Australian (or American) Constitution is it expressed or implied that you have an inalienable right to have your crackpot ideas taken seriou... |

| Nobody here is an ophthalmologist, and even if they were, they can't examine your eyes or diagnose remotely via an Internet message board. If you're concerned about changes to your vision, please log off and go see an eye doctor. |

| White nationalist = White supremacist?? No, that is not what it means. Actually, that's precisely what it means. 'White nationalism' is a term coined by Derek Black, the founder of neo-Nazi 'Stormfront', as a more socially acceptable and less threatening euphemism for white supremacy . White nation... |

| Do people ever stop and think that what someone "reportedly" said is possibly inaccurate or even untrue? And that highly partisan sources might be skewing or spinning things? And it seems like this is all they can come up with considering how often it gets repeated. Well the original sour... |

| You cannot live off of $100 a month . The Federal poverty line (which hasn't been revised since 1968, when a loaf of bread was 22 cents, a gallon of gas was 28 cents, a car cost $2,425, and a house; $24,600) is ten times more than you make. Even if you could make $12,000 a year (which is less than ... |

| Here is the president hinting that his political opposition could be met with force if "they go to a certain point." What is that "certain point"? Impeachment? Defeating him in 2020? Merely continuing to investigate him in Congress? "I can tell you I have the support of the ... |
