The agency was founded in 2011, and has helped millions of Americans recover money from the banks that victimized them. Right now the organization is under threat of being closed down by Republicans. If the CFPB is closed down consumer stand to lose possibly their biggest Ally in the financial world. If this does happen it will not be…

On procon2016.org, Donald Trump showed his bias on torture. In several articles covering Donald Trump’s opinion on torture, there is conservative and liberal sides shown through the commentary. One article from the Washington Post includes John Mccain opinion on waterboarding while the other article from the New York Times only includes only the thoughts from Donald Trump. In the article from the Washington Post, the main theme of the bias is torture is a horrible practice. I found bias towards…

Politics is a game of discourse, it's about who can put on the best show. The audience doesn't see what goes on behind the scenes, only what the string pullers; political candidate wants us to see or hear.

Since the early 1900s, arguments have been made regarding the president’s role in politics and their relationship with the American public. The presidency brings with it a public prestige and standing outside of Washington that they can use to “go public” and circumvent those pesky Washington elites, like when President Dave Chappelle told people about aliens or FDR’s fireside chats.

Obama uses elevated diction and sentence structure in the form of ethos, pathos, and logos to…
