I appreciate that a lot too. I ws raped multiple times by an abusive boyfriend. I was also raped shortly afterward by someone I considered my best friend. I became pregnant and decided to keep the baby, but miscarried. The whole experience was hellish. But I feel I am so strong now, 20 years later. I survived 17 years…

The best population control is giving people the ability to control their own bodies. Some will still choose have an ungodly number of spawn, but most won’t and the average birthrate and population will drop.

Nixon was in the same boat in 1960. He made the right choice and she will (has) too.

Yeah the cops were actually really great with me. I’ve been arrested too and they weren’t so great that time but they actually treated me with dignity and respect for the 5150.

As a mother of a child on the spectrum, can you please dismiss any comments mocking Trump for having an autistic child? I hate Trump with a fiery passion, but that shit is off limits.

You certainly can but I hope you won’t. I don’t think it’s true first and foremost — the only vote theft that happened was the public gutting of voting rights — but also, starting from a premise that malign forces control everything leaves us with no reason to try to fix what we did wrong and fight back better.

Wow, that article is fucking infuriating.

Oh, I wasn’t advocating for any political end there. I was just saying that the idea that repetition is a definition of insanity is false on its face and people should stop saying it.

The Democrats stand for establishment and incrementalism. Can this even be fixed?

See, this is why Democrats should be focusing on congress, the senate, and local politics rather than the presidency. The presidency might be a big status thing, but without Congress and the senate, and the states and all the other lower positions right down to county clerk, behind him then it is just a high profile…

We got cocky and blew it. So did Hillary. Even the Democrats are saying that. I voted for her (because duh), but our collective arrogance fucked us over.

Unfortunately the rest of us also get it too.

That fuck-shitting video. As a British person, my walls are slathered in it.

Elizabeth Warren

Yeah but Colin Powell also used a private server for classified emails and Bush himself lost millions of emails. I don’t think what she (and her aides) did was right, but I also think a lot of people don’t know all the facts around this.

Thank you. I was being half joking and half serious. But you’re absolutely right. I hope you’re doing okay after your surgery. My natural tendency is to wallow in my misery somewhat, but I know that’s not productive. Congratulations to you on your sobriety. And I appreciate your kind words.

Trust me, this is a conflict I share; I want to stay in Kentucky not because I particularly love the culture around me (my wife and I stick out like sore thumbs; I was -born- here, but I grew up in Germany and the northern states, primarily), but because I feel like there are a lot of basically good people here who…

Thank you, honestly. You’re right.

No. My worst week was loosing my unborn child through ‘god’s will’ as my lovely aunt put it so nicely, then almost loosing my wife, THEN finding out that was our only shot at kids.... then being told her hospital stay wasn’t covered under insurance because it wasn’t technically a room since we were in an outpatient…

I vote in Kentucky. There was never a hope in hell that my state would go blue--but I went anyway, because I meant what I said when I pointed out that refusing to vote creates tacit acceptance of the decision active voters make.

I made my voice heard, for all the good it did, and I’ll continue to do it in every…
