Comment None of the redactions were in Trump's tweet (Score 2) 342
Many details on the original image remain redacted -- a clear sign that Trump was sharing some of the U.S. government's most prized intelligence on social media.
None the things that were redacted from the declassified release were included in Trump's tweet. In fact, just the opposite conclusion can be derived in that everything that was tweeted is now considered no longer worthy of continued classification.
Comment House Votes Without Evidence To Impeach Trump (Score -1, Troll) 557
No hearings.
No witnesses.
No evidence offered.
No evidence submitted.
No defense allowed.
There may be evidence, but none was offered. It's the same as Trump claiming without evidence that the election was fraudulent. If you have evidence, you have to present it. Just making a statement and having everyone either agree or disagree is the same thing Trump is being accused of doing in this very impeachment procedure.

At our school, staff and volunteers are banned from taking anything home that has children's names on it like seating charts, absent logs, or even track schedules. It has something to do with the kids being minors.
So teachers can't take homework home to grade (has students' names on it)? No one can take home a yearbook (names AND photos, oh my!)? School newspapers (has bylines)? And so forth...

Earlier this year, a Canadian company called Stargrove Entertainment began selling two Beatles records featuring performances that are in the public domain in Canada. The records were far cheaper than those sold through Universal Music and were picked up by retail giant Walmart, who continues to list the records on their website (Can’t Buy Me Love, Love Me Do). There were additional titles featuring the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and the Beach Boys. Some of the titles are still available for sale through Walmart.
The Stargrove Entertainment records provided Canadian consumers with low-priced alternatives while still ensures that the authors of the songs received the approriate royalties. While the sound recording is in the public domain for these works, the song itself remains subject to copyright. Therefore, the song writers – Lennon and McCartney in the case of the Beatles – were still paid for every record sold. The difference is that Universal Records was not profiting from the sale. Instead, a small Canadian company was succeeding in selling the records at a lower price to Canadian consumers.
