Kevin Casias-Zamora did not offer one cogent idea. And, he says the "doubts" the Honduran Constitution doesn't have an impeachment process. Are you kidding me? Is this the best the Brookings Institute has to offer?

I think you need more channels Nancy....I watched Moonlight on Scifi. Reruns of it, but he's so good looking, who cares. Soon he will be on a new series on ABC. I was upset our ABC station took The View off this a.m. for news about a Detroit City Counsel woman ripping them off. They couldn't wait for the noon news and then take off the Soaps. MJ is an American icon, so I don't mind. I took my daughter when she was age 11 to his concert here & it was fantastic.


ricksanchezcnn: *frp* also, nico pitney from huffpost joins us. ali will discuss that question he got in at pres. obama's news conf... some say "plant".

Its time for us as American's to stand up and say enough is enough!!! We as tax payers bailed out the Banks and the banks are now putting hundreds of thousands of families out of there rented homes that have been foreclosing on every month! This is so wrong, why should the renters who have done nothing wrong become homeless because the home owner ... Read Moredid not pay there mortgage? The banks are kicking these families out and letting the homes sit empty and the homes are being destroyed! All of us need to stand up to the banks and say "WE ARE NOT LEAVING OUR HOMES AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO MAKE MY FAMILY HOMELESS! I PAYED MY TAXES AND MY TAXES BAILED YOU OUT! I NOW OWN THIS HOME!!!!!!"

I think what Archie is saying is when a government official has an affair they should do it in the office the government provided them like Clinton. Have your affair in the same place where you sleep with your wife.
Nichole at 10:56am July 2
If the other woman is really his "soulmate", what are the chances that he'll be able to "fall in love" with his wife?


Freedom Act I have said this before but I will say it again Afghanistan will be our next veitnam we will have about 100,000 troops in afghanistan by the end of the year.


Freedom Act We are at war in Iraq and Afghanistan who will be next North Korea or Iran.


Freedom Act Iran needs a Leader not a Dictator, oh wait that's America.


Freedom Act The Iranian people should stand up and fight for their freedom.


Freedom Act The Obama hour is on CNN happening right now, why does he have to come on every single day? He should be an actor if he wants to be on television every day, not president.


ricksanchezcnn: @BlancaDz ya te veo blanquita. gracias por el apoyo
FREEDOM at 5:02pm June 23
Maybe I was wrong about the Obama hour statement, the cool part is we will have all his lies on tape . So the american people can see the truth .

Korshid is from a country that is weak and can not control its government on its own. It needs help from countries like the U.S.

ricksanchezcnn: there are problems w social media, like focus and filtering. but i think they'll resolve themselves this year w new apps.


ricksanchezcnn: but that's like saying "i hate journalism because a particular columnist, or reporter is bad" huh?
Teauna at 8:39am June 15
I have respect for you unlike most of the anchors on CNN. Beside you .. Jack is my fav and Anderson... well he is just easy on the eyes.. keep up the good work
Drew at 9:53am June 17
rick its ironic that we are getting most of our news on Iran from social media but just the other day you had a debate with a guy who hates social media...i wonder if he is eating his words now?...


ricksanchezcnn: he's written several columns blasting twitter. he seems to have problems w celebs using it. he may be right in some cases, but...


Rosalie Gjerde There has been a disease in Fort Bragg, CA that has been destroying children for the past 40 years. It has recently come to light that a businessman named Darrell McNeil abused children throughout that time. For a while he was a Scout Master where he abused some of the boys. He became a “Big Brother” and abused the little brother for 5 years. That boy later committed suicide. He abused neighbor children and a step son. This continued for many years. At least 3 families went to the local police. Nothing was done about it. One woman found pornographic pictures of McNeil with an underage child, showed it to the police, but nothing was ever done. Since this story went public in February, more than a dozen adults have come forward to tell their stories of the childhood abuse they endured. Amazingly, in this small town, word did not get out about this before. Please go to www.saveaaron.com


Eric Sparkes A good discussion to have would be; what is mental illness?
Eric at 2:33pm June 13
Wow, you really htink it is that easy? DO you realize there are many other chemicals and proteins in the brain?


Stephanie at 5:01pm June 14
Mental illness is associated with a chemical imbalance in the brain... A Child is 87% genetic of the parents personality.

Hey is anybody covering what's going on in Peru with their president bowing to the pressure of the oil companies and allowing them , with the aid of the army to displace thousands of indigenous Indians. Many have been killed and the Indians have vowed to fight to protect their lands and virgin forests from the Oil Companies' exploitation.
It would be interesting to see who the players are at a time when the world is looking to preserve our lands and environment. What's influence and and connection , if any , to the US privately controlled banks in Peru by certain individuals from Texas...Hmmmmmm?
Francis at 6:23am June 22
Also Remember I promise to lower the poors taxes and to raise the taxes on the rich. Or I am going to be totally transparent. (we thought you would let us know all the facts. not just the ones you wanted us to hear) Or what about the cutting the deficit. That one is the best. What a whopper. I caught a fish last week that was thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis big. Sounds like I will cut the deficit by thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much. Funny.
Francis at 6:24am June 22
Can't wait to see the new reality show "The Obamas" to see what happens next.


Freedom Act If Nancy pelosi and her husband had stock in AIG.It makes a person wonder how many more government officials had there hand in the cookie jar, and that would explain why our government is so willing to bail AIG out, cause they are just bailing themselves out. No I am sorry we are bailing AIG out and our government.I wish I could control my own paycheck,using other peoples money.


Freedom Act We don't know how long Pelosi will stay in office, but we all know now that Pres. Obama will only be in 3 1/2 more years because there is no way the American people will re-elect him and allow all this wasteful spending. I remember when Robert Courtney's profile picture was him in a cap bowed down to hide his face kinda like when Pres. Obama bowed to the Arab leader.
Francis at 2:52pm June 24

Amen to that, Francis !


Freedom Act Pelosis husband lost up to $ 1 million on AIG stock. hi C

ricksanchezcnn: van brunn says obama created by jews... yeah rush that's right... he's a lefty. incredible!


ricksanchezcnn: and btw, does our society/authorities treat known white supremacists differently than muslim terror suspects? discuss!


J Gohuskers Nunneley I bet if we waterboard Von Brunn, he would give us Actionable Intelligence, on a bunch a guys..
Bryan at 3:55pm June 12
go for it!


Hans at 5:57pm June 12
Mental illness can be Depression, Bipolar PTSD,eating disorders, anxiety.So a lot of americans have mental illness. Do they wanna go out and kill jews and blacks? NO. Ideology is one's concept of human life or culture ,it's visionary thinking or theorizing. It's main goal is change in society. This guy von brunn belonged to an organized hate group ,that also encourages violence against other races. This guy knew right from wrong.


Macarthur Hannah Rick being smart has nothing to do with being a racist.. I grew up in mississippi and trust me when i tell you..Old racist don't change they "DIE OFF"
Francis at 1:21pm June 22
Joel i have to agree with Bon Lynn on that one. You are mis-informed. The statistics show that while Blacks do occasionally attack white people. Do note there are also the occasional white person attacking a black person. The statistics show that the black people who are violent in nature usually attack other black people. Rhianna is a great ... Read Moreexample. On top of that Statistically speaking Black men love beating the piss out of black women. Look that up. You can call it dying off or killing yourself off. But it has nothing to do with race, just ignorance.
Francis at 1:29pm June 22
If you were to bet every person on this board $1.00 that when they watch their local news tonight that one of the first few stories would be about a black man or woman killing or beating another black man or woman. You would come out of that bet quite a bit richer. Not everyone would pay off but you would come out ahead.


John Riding Hey Rick,just wanted to drop a quick note,I think that whoever came up with the idea to interview an eleven y/o a day after his father was shot dead should be terminated immediately,thats not news.Leave the kids alone.Thanks


Steven at 12:38pm June 11
Absolutely. The killers are always considered more than the victims and their families.
I remember, not too long ago, whenever people wanted to kill themselves they took pills, shot themselves, or jumped off bridges. Now, suicidal people know they can kill themselves while having their sad, pathetic stories made widely known, courtesy of the media... Read More, to everyone whom they hope will pity them and wish they had treated them better.
Nice, going once again! Quit scratching your heads every time this sort of thing happens, and realize that this will never stop until these freaks come to the conclusion that they won't have their stories told for everyone to remember them by. Report the stories but stop rewarding the killers' wishes by identifying them. That's WHY THEY DO IT! They're garbage, not celebrities!

To be fair, according to the newscaster when the interview with the boy was originally broadcast, the family of special police Officer Johns wanted his son's words & image to be shown. If this was their choice, I support it in the sense that it brings a real human face to this horrific tragedy. My heart aches for this young boy & his family. By ... Read Moreallowing the family to make their thoughts known, we can see Officer Johns as much more than a victim in the news. My thoughts & prayers go out to Officer Johns family, friends & co-workers.
