1. I don't watch any cable news, but she seemed to get emotional towards the end.

I could never contain myself when speaking of this situation. I cuss and yell, spit venom, and scowl when speaking about TFG, Paxton, the Texas SC, and Roe.

2. You can't wake people up, you can't force them to vote. Face it. People live their lives

and some are fortunate enough that abortion is not important to them. Immigration is not important to them. 'Saving our Democracy' isn't going to work either. As far as people are concerned there are safeguards in place for that. The media tells them so. The media also tells them that Trump is in first place. The way disaffected voters are they won't vote for Trump, they'll just stay home. A lot of people are just holding on in their day to day struggles. Voting isn't mandatory, it's a choice. The only way to get people up to vote is to inspire them. Yelling wake up doesn't do shit.

4. My late wife

And I were trying to have a child in 1988. She got pregnant and we were so happy. Just over two months after we learned a baby was coming, she started having horrible pain and went to the bathroom. She called to me and was filling the toilet with blood, passed out and feel to the floor. Called 911 and she was taken to the hospital. We were so terrified and heartbroken. We were told to wait to try again. But in today’s world she would be facing murder charges.
We ultimately had our daughter in 1989. Here mom lost a lengthy battle to cervical cancer in 2000.
I have raised her alone, put everything in my life aside to do so.
I would be lost without her. May not have wanted to continue without her mom and her.
And I am certain, nobody “ Gives a Shit” about this story or will change a vote. But ya know what, fuck them, I WILL vote to help all other parents to not face what we may have faced in a miscarriage today, and never had a chance at a daughter like mine. Not a got mine fuck you voter here.

I retired from an amazing job in 2012. Earned a time of happiness after Serving the country and Teaching 30 year's. And he has shit all over it pre 2016. And no end in site.
All I can do is leave a lot for my daughter that I worked a life for. And knowing my years are very limited, I won’t have to deal with many years of his takeover.
But I hope I live long enough to see his cult suffer like live fish thrown out onto a Walmart parking lot in July. I can just smile, walk past them and Say, “Ya should have WOKE the fuck up”, and ultimately get cremated with a smile on my face.

3. Why isn't this jackass in jail? He has been indicted for corruption, why is he still at his job?

He needs to be sued for attempt of murder which I am sure can be backed all the doctors that have examined the woman. He also wants to risk her two kids for the possibility they will not have a mother.
