Michael Moore? @MMFlint
Trump's comment that Hillary's "heart is filled with hate" was one of his biggest lies. Say what u will, I think her heart is full of love.

Michael Moore? @MMFlint
Is anyone else depressed by this tonight. Trump is a sick fuck. I could use stronger language but won't.

Agree w/ Van Jones: Never has a candidate threatened to jail his opponent. This happens in dictatorships. Scariest man ever to run for WH.

In the first episode of his new GQ web show, Keith Olbermann recalled “the most outrageous of Donald Trump’s offenses in what is now his 15-month assault on American democracy.”

“Every few generations we Americans are called upon to defend our country,” Olbermann begins.

After calling Trump a “demonic messiah in Oompa Loompa’s clothing,” Olbermann spends the next 15 minutes recounting what he claims are the 176 most egregious things Trumps had done since his campaign began last year.

The Fascist Candidate - Its No Joke, Donald Trump Represents And Incites The Deplorables

There's no stopping those who are attracted to a fascist leader from being excited by Trump's loud and quarrelsome candidacy. Trump says things weekly that have ended many other candidates hopes of getting in the White House, but his being a TV celebrity has kept him in the hunt for the White House thanks to his fame and well-known obnoxious twitter insults.

Those who support him seem to like that he really doesn't have any complex solutions to anything, just repeated claims of "I'll Fix It" and "It'll Be Great" comments. They're quite literally proud to be headed to 'hell in a hand basket' by him and if asked by Trump at a rally if there were any deplorables at his rallies, they'd cheer mightily like Roger Stone is already stating.




This obsession over Trump is why we hear story after story of Democratic Party supporters stating they've had property vandalized, stolen, been threatened at the Democratic Party booths at a county fair in Ohio, and even one victimized family says their dog was killed by Trump supporters after repeated attacks on their house.

There's several reasons why he has been making so many vile statements, he doesn't want the voters to know he doesn't support fair labor practices, is anti-union and against fair pay for workers. His behavior is repeatedly more outlandish than anything Hillary's ever said, such as calling POW's losers (imagine the anger if Hillary said she liked US military vets who weren't captured), and going after parents who lost their hero son with fervor while claiming he's sacrificed much.

But, the most scary reason for his daily distractions is the fact he isn't remotely qualified to be president. Newt even said he hoped Trump would learn some "new skills" - sorry, the presidency is not the place for a guy who needs to learn foreign policy and how not to insult people at every turn with foul comments.

He is everything a good-hearted American should be offended by and we should get everyone we know registered to vote. Hearing him called "Mr President" would be the least of our frustrations.

The first Nationwide study from the CDC on the health risks faced by LGBTQ youth is horrifying

This breaks my heart... You know how It's hard for many to trust their employer not to be against them for being gay, so I am sure these "out" or "perceived gay" high school kids are in such hell from their tormenters, because a good third or more of people are still heavily anti-gay and so they say around half don't feel they can report the abuse or assaults to school support or the cops. There's got to be more we can do that changes how other teens treat others different than themselves, especially those who are LGBTQ.

So, fresh off the summer report from the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP) that said 20-25% of all LGBTQ people will face at least one Hate Crime (that just makes me sick...) in our lives, there is an even more infuriating intensive first time study of High School LGBTQ students, completed by the CDC.

LGBT high schoolers are three times more likely to have been raped than their straight classmates, according to the first nationwide study on the health risks faced by queer youth.



The new Centers for Disease Control study, which asked high school students about their sexuality, found that gay, lesbian and bisexual teens are at far greater risk for physical and sexual violence, bullying, suicide, and other threats to their health than their straight peers.

While it is known that LGBT teens live a harder life because of pressures from parents and peers, previous studies have found LGBT youth are more likely to attempt suicide, to be homeless, and to use drugs.

Dr. Jonathan Mermin with the CDC told United Press International the report is “alarming” and “heartbreaking.”

There are loads of statistics in the report highlighted in the CDC Study news story above. Things like 40% of them saying they considered suicide, and 60% saying they feel sad or hopeless, and being 2 times more likely to be victims of violent assault at school, and 4 times more likely to take hard drugs to cope with the stress... It's making me emotional again just thinking about how much pain the million plus LGBTQ high schoolers are suffering right now. Damn bigots need to be stopped at schools!
