I don't have cable TV. How many times do CNN, MSNBC and Fox say Trump's name in a day? 1000?

I watch excerpts online and they say his name dozens of times in them.

It's unclear when the president last purchased groceries or anything else himself.

President Donald Trump is wrongly claiming that Americans need photo IDs to buy groceries as he rails against the idea of noncitizens voting.

Trump was advocating for voter ID requirements at a Tampa, Florida, rally on Tuesday when he claimed the only time people don’t need ID is when they want to vote.

He says: “If you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card, you need ID. You go out and you want to buy anything, you need ID and you need your picture.”

Congressman Louie Gohmert is unfixable.

Am I the only that thinks news online sites are becoming unusable?

A year ago I installed a ad blocker that made the web sites readable without pop up ads and automatic playing video ads. But now if you use an ad blocker they block you. When you turn it off to view a web page you get pop ups, autoplay commercials and ads that surround the article that have movement so you are simply distracted so hopefully you will accidentally click one of their ads. Even the non-profit AP web site is now doing this.
Now I will just scan the headlines and not even bother clicking links to their sites. I use sites like reddit and here to get just the first paragraph of the news and not bother with the news sites any longer.
This is just my two cents worth.

We need to Start passing State constituional amendments that protect all methods of family planning

We need to start getting constitutional amendments passed that legalize contraceptives and abortion in as many States as we can. The reason is that right now we are dependent on two SCOTUS rulings that they can change and birth control and abortion could be outlawed in many States again. If that does happen then millions of women will lose the right to regulate the health of their own bodies. The vote in Ireland shows that millennials favor reproductive rights for all women.

President Chaos Strikes again. Now he wants USA to join pacific trade pact.

He reminds me of my bi-polar family member.

President Trump, in a sharp reversal, told a gathering of farm state lawmakers and governors on Thursday morning that he was directing his advisers to look into rejoining the multicountry trade deal known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a deal he pulled out of days after assuming the presidency.
