I raised my kids so they knew that if they committed a horrendous crime, I would not be the kind of mother who would visit them in prison. Trump's bragging about his and his sycophants' total lack of morals, might not be the strong selling point he thinks it is.

Why would it disturb them? Republican operatives have been relentlessly working toward this type of society for decades.

My Jewish parents told me that too! Also, I recently figured out why, when we were driving from the SF Bay Area, where we lived, to Lake Tahoe, we never, ever, stopped for any reason--not even for using a restroom--until we passed a certain point in the Sierras. Sundown towns.

During each of those 7 years while I was suffering from that infection, my perfectly healthy husband had an annual physical, complete with blood tests, with that same doctor who never ordered a single blood test for me.

Why would they have already gotten over something as recent as the Civil War? They haven't even gotten over the whole "Jews killed Jesus" thing from 2026 years ago, even though it was the Romans (later made famous for founding the Roman Catholic Church) who were the actual perpetrators.

It took 7 years for me to be diagnosed with a recurrence of a childbirth-induced abscess. During several different visits, the doctor stood in the exam room doorway, said,"It's a virus," and left. A simple blood test would have revealed a massive infection. I needed surgery to save my life.

I just assumed that Republican candidates are bad, because anyone who really likes and approves of the Republican Party's agenda, is a stereotypically rotten human being.

This is why Mar A Lago face is a thing. All RAPE-UBLICAN men hate women. The only non-males they are sexually attracted to, are little girls and women who have been so surgically altered that they look like plastic sex puppets.

It's also totally not gay to actively hate and loathe women--so much so that you are only turned on by little girls and by women who have been surgically altered to look like plastic sex puppets.

What makes you think that the GOP dislikes what Trump has been doing? He is doing everything they have been working towards for decades. They are just mad now because there is massive backlash that is threatening their grip on political power.

SNL has always had a big misogyny problem. They had a really brutal rape joke skit in the 1970's? and I didn't watch the show for 10 years after that.

Yup. And it's been like that for more than 1,500 years.

Not true. There are some extremely clever, cunning, sly, devious people who have working diligently behind the scenes for decades, at Republican think tanks and political consultancies, in order to bring about this oligarchic fascistic order. Some of them don't like Trump because he's crass.

I told our kids: "There are some things that human beings are capable of doing, that if you do them, I will not be the kind of mother who visits you in prison." Also their dad is an extremely good male role model: protective, compassionate, empathetic, and absolutely not entitled.

After rape allegations at Cornell University, why are women again being urged to talk to their sons? Why not men? | Gaby Hinsliff
Boys learn by watching how the men they respect treat their partners, female colleagues, women on the street. Now is the time for those men to step up, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

What makes you think MAGATS care about their children? Except the ones, of course, that they are sexually attracted to. They love Trump because he is just like them.

Looks pretty accurate, like it could have been done last week at one of Trump's rallies.

Here's a tip: call your bank and tell them you need to replace the credit card that the subscription you no longer want, is on. When the card is replaced, that subscription will end.

Why have Christian friends at all? Seriously. Anyone who takes one look at me and immediately feels compelled to inform me that they are a CHRISTIAN, is not someone I am capable of being friends with, and vice versa.

Imagine not being surprised by that because you already knew when you were a young teenager, that your incestuous father was rabidly sexually "interested" in you.
