Just got a political ad that said “if you vote for this candidate the SOCIALISTS win and more people will have access to health insurance!” Why is that scary for people?

TRUMP WAS NEVER LEGITIMATE. TRUMP HAS NEVER ONCE WON. Mueller proved that the 2016 election was compromised by Russia and now the evidence of even worse election crimes continues to escalate. As if this wasn't fucking bad enough Trump asked his supporters last week TO CHEAT.

Tax reform needs to go together with compensation reform: every employee must be compensated equitably for the time and energy spent and the skills used working for the employer. Then the minimum wage will become the living wage and the wage gap between the top and the bottom will narrow down.

In January, as planned, hundreds of rural hospitals will close. This will result in "PEOPLE DYING" which the very healthy GOP is absolutely ok with. Simple truth. If you're having a heart attack and it takes you a hour+ to get to the ER, you really don't have to worry, since you'll die.

Question: What director and screen writer would be best at creating a mini-series about Robert Smalls? A story that must be told. And far bigger than a single movie. On a site killed by the Racist in Chief: www.pbs.org/wnet/african...
pbs.org
Robert Smalls, from Escaped Slave to House of Representatives | African American History Blog | The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross
Robert Smalls made a daring sea escape during the Civil War as a slave and went on to serve five terms in Congress as a Representative from South Carolina.
