You linked a fact-free opinion piece. The actual amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
It has absolutely nothing to do with the private sector.

I’d been eagerly looking forward to this event since I first heard about it—Illinois was going to see its second total solar eclipse in its history as a state, and no one alive had ever seen an Illinois total eclipse. It happened in 1869 and totality passed right through Springfield, the state’s capital. Then, as now, people were very excited.

No politician in my life has been caught telling so many incredibly stupid, easily disproven lies. He lies moe and worse than my ex-wife. Like her, he'll keep lying to you even when he knows you know he's lying.
Lying on a sworn statement is NOT normal for any politician. That's what fraudsters do (he did settle a fraud claim).
And no, I'm not a Democrat. I vote candidate, not party. Of the four that ran, IMO none would have been a good President; historians say that James Buchanan was our worst (he caused the civil war), and his pre-presidential career was very similar to Hillary's.
Maybe next time the parties will actually nominate someone who is qualified.

Not surprising, considering all the other bald faced lies he's been shown to tell. It is likely that he was once six three, because one shrinks as one ages. I've lost two inches in the last twenty years.

Yes, I seldom see anything important in the newspaper that they don't cover on TV news. It's also why I vastly prefer CBS's morning news than GMA, GMA has maybe fifteen minutes of news, with the rest unimportant nonsense like celebrities, TV shows (ABC's, of course), sports stars.
Why in the hell should Venus Williams' car crash matter to me?
