Can You Help Me Figure Out How To Help A Few Refugees? (PR)

I have some extra space in my house. Not much but when you are in the conditions that are facing Puerto Ricans, this would possibly be good for two or three people? Anyway, I am sure some folks getting off the island (did you know the Puerto Rico was an island and you cannot just drive there? Seriously, it is in the middle of a thing called the Atlantic!!!) need a place and have nowhere to go. I really do not have money to get them here but perhaps I could pick them up or they could find a way to get to NC? Anyway, I have no idea how to locate a family in need. I assume this may be a need for some folks escaping from the hell that is going on right now but I am not sure how to offer up my house to a couple of people. Is this needed? If so, who can I reach out to? I feel a need to do this but I have no idea where I can go to put this in action. Thank you for any ideas you may have.

We Need To Call Our Representatives (PR)

I agree we need to call regarding Obamacare, whenever a repeal comes up. And I know Obamacare is a matter of life and death because it is for my son. Right now we are safe from the appeal. Right now our people, the people of Puerto Rico, are starving and thirsty. They are dying. The heat is horrible and our citizens are suffering. This is a matter of life and death for a lot of them. We need to all be calling our representatives and demand we do something to help our fellow citizens. No matter who these people are, it is the compassionate and right thing to do. Please call your representatives and demand we help our own people. Thank you.

What If Donald Approached The Russians?

Donnie had been to Russia many times and had a lot of ties to big money investors there. What if we have been looking at it all wrong? I know Russia has shaped elections in other countries.

What if Donnie had heard all of this? What if he approached the Russians and asked for help? Maybe he owed so much money that he reached out and said if his debt was erased he could make good things happen for Russia through the U.S..

Russia seemed to be so intent on fixing the elections. So much more so than they usually did. Trump may have thought he was using the Russians but if approached, maybe the Russians saw a goldmine opportunity.

This all could have happened even with Russia having blackmail material on Trump.

I know this is all speculation but I was sitting here wondering why Russia put in as much effort as they did. Wouldn't it be amazing if something like this came out?!?!

If Trump Is Such A Great Negotiator....

Why does he have to add to the defense budget? Wouldn't all of his tough negotiating, and looking out for the U.S., result in so much savings that we would still come out ahead even with military expansion? Just saying.

There Should Be Threats of Charging Them With Murder....

If republicans are going to go ahead with this farce and take away health care for our country because, you know, they are all paid protesters, then they should have to face the consequences of all of the deaths that occur. Before they make this life and death decision for the whole country, ads should be run saying lawyers will step forward and not only will republicans be held responsible during elections but legally as well.

I do not care if there is precedent for this or not, they are doing no less than committing mass murder if they take away our health insurance. Maybe they do not care about us but maybe they will give it more consideration if there butts are on the line. Something needs to be done to stop these would be murderers. Pro-life my ass.

I Won't Get Over It But Maybe YOU Should!

I am tired of being told to suck it up and get over it. First of all, this is not about politics, it is about morals - something the other side seems to be woefully short on.

I think you should draw back and you should get over it. Mighty touchy, aren't we? You cannot accept that a woman, Clinton no less, could get more votes than your orange Russian demagogue.

Me thinks though doth protest, and put us down, too much. Maybe it is because you know deep in your dark puss filled feckless heart that you really are not legitimate. You did not get more votes than us. Maybe you picked up that insecurity from your illegitimate leader. We know you are overcompensating because you know who the legitimate winner was. That is why you feel you must continue to try and shut us up.

But you know what? Now it is time for you to get over it and suck it up. We have more numbers than you and this, after all, is a democracy. No matter who won, we are supposed to be represented by the numbers. Haven't I heard you shouting about the silent majority for years? Well you can clearly see by the vote tallies, we are the majority who are voted and WE are the ones who need to have our voices heard.

We are the majority and we will not be silenced by the minority. By the way, get used to being referred to as the minority. You say the official electoral college says you won and that is all that counts. No, the other numbers say we were the majority of voters. We GOTV and we won the numbers. From now on you will be labeled the minority.

You will be told that you need to shut up because we want affordable health care for all and we are the majority and our voice will be heard.

You will be told that registering Muslims is unconstitutional and to suck it up because we are the majority and our voice will be heard.

You will be told that Planned Parenthood, according to law, has never spent federal funds on abortions and that women need access to the services they offer. Get over it, we are the majority and our voice will be heard.

You will be told that clean air and water matter to the majority of us. We are the majority and you will hear us.

You will be told that it is not okay to grab a woman by the pussy. We will be heard because we are the majority so listen to us.

We will declare that it is not ok to make fun of disabled people. We are the majority and we will shout this loudly.

We demand that taxes should be shown to investigate any conflicts of interests and possible collaboration with enemy entities. We are the majority, hear us roar and suck it up!

We will speak out in defense of a media that did nothing but normalize a monster of a human being. We will scream about the forth estate and how important it is to our government and how we will not be silenced in trying to get that part of our government back. We are the majority and we have more of a voice than you do.

We will speak out against a useless wall to keep out people who are currently at a negative rate of coming over the border. We will speak out against his lies that Mexico will pay for it when he turned around and now has stated that we will pay and they will later. When we say it is bull and it is more bills we are saddled with, our voices will ring loud and clear because we are the majority.

Make no mistake, we know our power. We have the numbers and refuse to give up our democracy without a hard fought battle. We are the majority and we are not silent. You are the minority and we will fight for you to have better lives but how dare you tell us to suck it up? Can't handle a few protests and the light shining on your president? I will not shed any tears at night because protests and dissent are what make a democracy stronger. It makes us better.

We are the majority. You suck it up and get over it because we will be heard.

I'd like to take a moment to remember ANDY!

He worked so hard for voter reform and is missed by many people. I know he would have worked even harder on this election. Andy, you are missed.

The Clinton Scandals and Vetting.

I ran into an undecided at the gym today. She asked if I had voted and said she had no idea who to vote for with all the information going on out there. I first tackled the Clinton side of things. I explained that she and her husband had been investigated over and over and a lot of the time it was for the same subject such as Benghazi. I know that congressional hearings are not a court of law but I explained that at least there you only have to go through a trial once and it is not like congress digs up new information and takes her back to square one. No, they just try her over and over hoping for a different result.

I explained the scandals are not on Hillary's side. In order for them to be so, something would have to be found and there is nothing there. The real scandals, with the Clintons, are the Republicans who go after them time and again finding nothing and wasting the tax payer's money.

I explained that if the Republicans can do this many years of inquiry into the Clinton's lives then that should make her feel good. Hillary has been vetted more than any other president in the history of our country. They have looked under rocks and in caves but have found nothing. This should give a voter a lot of confidence that they are getting a clean candidate who can lead our country well.

I transitioned to Trump. I explained how concerned citizens should be about Trump's Russian connections. That the FBI is now looking into one of Trump's closest companions, Paul Manafort, because of Paul's ties with Russia. I brought up how Trump had spoken so highly about Russia and Putin. I said perhaps Manafort and Trump praising Russia could be a coincidence but how, if you Google, you will find one of Trump's sons stating how Russia has poured a lot of money into Trump. I told her how Trump could dispel a lot of this if he would release his tax returns but that he refuses and so we must believe that Trump is under the influence of a country we have not gotten along with for a long time. The future of our country could be in Russian hands if we are not careful.

After I was done with my thoughts she added in that he speaks about women terribly and makes fun of those with handicaps. (she does not have use of her left arm) She said nothing negative about Hillary at all. I think we may have another decided voter!

The Republicans have done a good job if we let everyone know that she is totally vetted and the only scandals she is attached to is the fact that the Republicans cannot stand to find nothing and so they keep taking an eighth, ninth, and even tenth bite at the apple wasting time, money, and resources.
