Plus the inability to take the long view on international security - by fostering positive international relations first.

I think that our first and foremost reason for doing things should be that we care about other people, but it also irks my pragmatic side that Trump (& Republicans in general) see no benefit to themselves in helping other people. If we invest less in Africa, who is going to step in? China.

This. I can’t explain why the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief is a good thing if things like, oh, “improved life expectancy in developing countries”, “fewer orphans” and “fewer babies born with HIV” don’t sway you.

For a long time my opinion was that the three cruelest men in American politics were J. Edgar Hoover, Ronald Reagan, and Jesse Helms. Trump has already made it to #2.

The Africa

What do you bet that he thinks it’s one country?

People keep asking me why these things bother me so much, and why we should keep doing things like send aid or provide healthcare, and it’s seriously like, “I literally cannot explain to you how not to be asshole. Because that’s what this is, your gross inability to care for other people.”

“With so much corruption in Africa,...

Women still die giving birth. Texas has the highest maternal mortality rate of all industrialized nations.

I will never forgive so-called leftists who parroted the alt-right in attacking Hillary Clinton. NEVER. They were so determined to smear her for not being good enough they didn’t even realize they were doing the Nazi’s job for them.

I would argue that they do, in fact, know this tidbit. Their goal is not to be reasonable or scientific, their goal is to ban abortion as fully as they are able.

There are so many things wrong with these kinds of bills, but let’s just start with the fact that many women DON’T EVEN KNOW THEY’RE PREGNANT at 6 weeks. Like, if you aren’t tracking your cycles and taking a pregnancy test anytime your period is a day late, you might not ever notice any symptoms until you’re well past…

But remember people, Hillary was just as bad as Trump and people who voted Third Party just so they could personally feel good aren’t selfish in anyway.

They also made a name for themselves long before the other two.

I have no idea what criteria anyone would use beyond “white guys with guitars in their band” to put Nickelback, Creed and the Goo Goo Dolls on the same list.

Dude, being an ally shouldn’t mean that someone has to reach out to specifically invite you to show up. It means, if you truly care about something, taking at least 30 seconds (that’s all it took for me to find on the FAQ that of course men are invited) to investigate whether your presence might be welcomed. If…

This is forever solidified in my mind as the typical sensitive Trump male.

If you want men to be involved in an action, don’t give it a name suggesting only women should be involved.
