Fun reminder that studies have found that the people who identify as Republican are likely to have less emotional empathy (the ability to sympathize with others) than their liberal counterpart. The belief is that the policies of that party appeal to them rather than the party dictating their lack of empathy.

“The state is “giving up millions of dollars in federal funding” that pays for family planning services like birth control, cancer screenings, breast exams, STD tests and treatment, and more...”

Jesus. You know what else has “beautiful curves” to contrast with the “straight lines of the product?”

There are four rankings of classified information in the American intelligence community. Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, and code word clearance. The information that President Trump divulged was considered code word clearance-level intelligence, and thus it was above the Top Secret ranking in clarification.

A baby bird in the nest that opens its brightly-colored mouth and makes a peep sound will be fed by its parents. It will continue doing this until it is a fully grown bird. Meanwhile, a baby bird that does not do this will starve to death.

My original title just said “creep.”

How many women does this guy have buried in his basement? Jw

Yup, I was just listening, He delivered the most generic accolades to the work of the Coast Guard and then swiftly pivoted into a “woe is me” speech. And it went on and on. It was pretty fucking disgusting. He made their graduation about himself and his self-induced problems.

Donald Trump is a very stupid dumbass.

I mean, we are talking about a guy whose command of English basically only includes his own surname and the phrase “You’re fired,” here.

Right now he is giving an embarrassing commencement address at the Coast Guard Academy graduation. About 30% of it is about how great he thinks he is and all of his tremendous accomplishments and how he is the most persecuted president in American history. Completely tone deaf.

And once again, my father, who, as I have said before on other posts, predicted Trump’s nomination, win, and Russian connections (“there are too many Russians in this campaign”), was right - he also predicted that Trump would blab top secret information to either reporters or foreign countries. He’s been right about…

Because this is us all.

I continue to believe that we just need to use this against him for as long as we can.

I will never not star “but her emails” posts.

This is exactly why he admitted to obstruction of justice in firing Comey. If he had stuck with the cover-up lie his Administration was pushing, he would have been saying he didn’t call the shots, and he couldn’t bear to do that.

That would be just fine.

I looked at the disclosure. De Volo is getting $275/hour for testifying. That is the cheapest expert witness fee I’ve ever seen, by far. She’s not a professional witness - they got her because they believe she can explain the social/power dynamics of sexual assault to any neanderthals in the room.
