“I'm so sick and tired of abortion being used as an excuse to vote for Trump.

Making abortion illegal won't stop it. Wealthy women will go to other countries and poor women will go to black markets....and many will die.

Besides...if we imprison all the millions of women who get abortions...think about it...we'll have to build more prisons...and orphanages too.. as most women who get abortions, have other children.

If you REALLY care about abortion...then you'll GET REAL and do the things that actually work to decrease abortion...you know...the

“I am a Respiratory Therapist by profession...and I used to be a “traveler”, so I have several “nurse buddies” all across the United States. It’s bad. So very bad they won’t show it on the news because if people could see how bad it really is there would be panic in the streets. - and all could have been prevented if people would stay home, and wear a mask, and wash their filthy hands...and some Federal support. Thought initially this was too morbid, but what will it take for people to realize our politicians are sentencing people to DEATH?

“Do You See What I See?
“For suspicion of forging a check...

A man was pressed down onto concrete with a solid 200 lbs sitting directly on his neck. He cried out for water. He cried out for his deceased mother, and once he realized he could no longer breathe, he cried out for mercy and he begged for his life. His nose bled and he lost control of his bladder. Yet he remained trapped and handcuffed under the weight of an officer’s knee.

Onlookers tried to intervene only to be threatened with pepper spray. Even when he lost consciousness, the weight of

“The irony of Trump telling foreign leaders at a NATO meeting that Adam Schiff is “deranged” and a “very sick individual” is staggering. A Harvard psychiatrist on Lawrence O’Donnell’s program pointed out that Trump operates on a very primitive mental level, almost like a small c child — except that Trump never developed a sense of right or wrong, or of empathy for others, qualities that usually appear very early, in preverbal toddlers. In Trump’s mind, if it benefits him, it’s good, no matter who gets hurt. This total disregard for the welfare of others

“Who is going to pay for all this 'free stuff'?"

Simple, really. I can think of a couple of options right off the top of my head.

1) Jeff Bezos and all the other corporate welfare recipients will pay for it. And if they refuse or weasel out with some exotic tax dodge then 2. they can no longer do business in our country! We have a really nice marketplace here that another capitalist would love to corner!

2) We slash military spending by one half immediately. Then monitor and reduce it further as needed. We are way out past any mind of rational

All the CNN and MSNBC journalists and reporters who normalized Trump, did not call Trump out, who cast doubt on Hillary, I hope you pay attention to what @Rosie said tonight. You were complicit. And stop broadcasting his damn rallies! Stop inviting & allowing his pundits to lie! And as Rosie said, walk out whenever Sarah Huckabee tells her first lie. Stop making this administration seem like any other.

“The central myth of American conservatism — that it’s based on personal responsibility and not racial resentment — keeps getting trotted out: “The Left buys votes by stealing from hardworking (ie white) folks and giving lazy (ie brown) people free stuff.” It’s an offensive lie”. “Conservatism is about hierarchy in general. Keeping control of the lower orders. Exploiting their labor and telling them to be grateful for whatever they are paid. It has nothing to do with "personal responsibility" and everything to do with authoritarianism”.

Before the election, CNN were allowing Trump surrogates to spew so many lies with very little pushback. Seems they're continuing to do the same thing. Allowing someone to get away with bald faced lying is not being fair and balanced. It's actually being a part of the problem; the proliferation and legitimization of fake news. Rick Santorum is on CNN again, lying again and saying very stupid things. Why does any station allow this awful person to be on their network?

That’s got to be painful Melania. You’re not a model or a nightclub gal anymore. And how many pumps do you have Imelda? It shows she has no common sense. Go travel in cute flats or platforms or block heels. Leave the stilettos for a formal dinner.
