It’s real hard sometimes to believe cops live in the same reality as the rest of us, or that they are supposed to be sworn to protect and serve.

CPCs are a disgrace. How they can get away with advertising health services when they are staffed by a bunch of church ladies with no qualifications, or with actually providing health services without a license, or with distributing false information while receiving government funds, is completely beyond me.

That was my thought too - where the right to abortion exists, how can “procurement of a miscarriage” possibly be a felony?

Unfortunately I don´t expect her to appeal - I’m guessing she’ll just want to get on with her life and thank her lucky stars it wasn’t a whole lot worse (i.e. the original charges didn’t stick).

Betcha H.W. passes. Otherwise 100% accurate.

Ha ha, we sure are. The best we can hope for is to take bets on which of his unqualified imbeciles or whacky decisions kills us first!

Agreed. I’m always surprised at the number of people, particularly progressives / those committed to social justice, who are on board with it.

You cannot serve on a death penalty jury if you are anti-capital punishment. Which in my view stacks the case against the defendant right from the start. Not to mention that many people’s arguments against the death penalty center on the fallibility of the system and a fear of wrongful conviction; removing all those…

You can’t forfeit your basic human rights. They’re inalienable. They come with just being born a human being.

The quote was “Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners”. Outsiders presumably encompassing such groups as the LGBTQ community, but also your run of the mill oddballs, dreamers and nerds; activists; and critics of the status quo.

Maybe he’ll do some spirited impressions of his “enemies” and members of the press. Shoutouts to “the people”, if you will.

“He really wanted it to be about the people, not about him.”

A family member chose Tillerson for best. Their rationale was “at least he has a brain” and “he’s used to high-stakes international negotiations”. Does that count if you’ve only ever used those skills for evil?

We played “who are Trump’s worst and least bad nominations?” over the holidays. I picked Sessions for worst. It’s appalling and a blatant deliberate threat to every bit of progress made since he was not confirmed under Reagan.

Some of his entire record places his objectivity in question on lots of stuff. Can he just recuse himself from this whole farcical nomination?

I like this idea.

I like this idea.

No. and I’m pretty worried about the quieter things being worked on behind the scenes. Create a big splash by repealing Obamacare and defunding Planned Parenthood, and no one will notice what else they get up to for a news cycle

I hope McCain gives into that impulse at every turn for the next four years.

This. Maybe instead of calling Ryan, who will be near-impossible to sway, we should try to figure out who might be willing to break ranks to go against this bullshit. They can’t ALL be committedly anti-woman and pro-cervical cancer.

Phenomenal (and very patient) reply to WOLF here. Nicely done.
