John Hinckley Jr, the man who tried to assassinate US President Ronald Reagan, is to be released from a psychiatric hospital next month after 35 years.

Mr Reagan and three others were injured in the shooting outside a hotel in Washington in March 1981.

Mr Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity but was sent for treatment to a Washington hospital.

    That shows discriminating taste.
    (It bothers me when people say "discrimination" when they mean "prejudice"; it confuses the meaning of the former.)

    Cheating Donald [commondreams.org] is fundamentally a dishonest individual[1].
    He has thousands of outstanding court cases where people have done work for him and he didn't pay them.
    He takes pride in saying that he never settles a court case.
    This means that a bunch of small businessmen will go out of businessmen while Trump drags out those cases.

    [1] ...not to mention Trump's narcissistic personality disorder.

    The fact that someone from The Working Class would think Trump is presidential material is astounding to me.

    ...then there's Hillary whose idea of supporting women is to take away more of their safety net without doing anything to make sure there are jobs for them.
    ...and putting more of their men ("superpredators") in prison so that those guys will lose their voting rights and any chance of a decent job after they get out--for the offense of doing the same things that college boys do all the time (carrying a joint in a pocket).

    When the glass ceiling is broken (first female president), I'm still hoping it will be by someone who isn't a Neocon (even more of a chickenhawk than Obama; there are never too many cops) AND a Neoliberal (Wall Street's best friend; bailouts for failed Capitalists).

    Obama was a more or less likable guy

    ...if you like guys who make bunches of promises they have no intention of keeping.
    ...and guys who have bombs dropped on wedding parties.

    .
    Oh, and if you run into Hinckley, you shouldn't mention that Jody Foster is a lesbian.
