Really sick how the only thing the cables can talk about is Trump. Meanwhile earthquakes, hurricane

and disaster strike many families whose thoughts have to be about more than what the Donald is saying.
Oh, and as soon as the disaster strikes the environment of the haters they will be the first to call on the government that they despise to bail them out and they won't care how much is spent to do so.

It is said that we have no immigration plan and that President Obama dropped the ball on this.

I believe we had a fairly good immigration reform plan that the Senate passed in 2013 with a fair amount of GOP support. That same bill, passed by the Senate, went to the House where it was simply ignored and never brought up for a vote thanks to the GOP controlled House who never wanted President Obama to receive any credit for immigration reform.

Further, that bill seems to include much of what Mr. Trump says is needed. Because it wasn't voted on in the House, the President, by Executive Order, put in place some measures which, as of yesterday, Mr. Trump voiced his agreement with what the President did by repeating most of the provisions of those actions as his own proposal.

Strange, indeed.

Oh, for your information...

Saying "hello" as instructed.

I have been a long time observer who is so repulsed by Mr. Trump that I just have to be able to participate and rant along with others here.

I have even resorted to getting small-minded and unproductive family members involved in raising money for Hillary. I am amazed that even they see the need to get out and vote.

Happy to report that all family that I am in contact with are now registered and will vote in November...from east to west and north and south. (about 270 of us) Includes extended family as well.

This is a very important and scary time in our lives. Good people of all stripes must come out soundly defeat Mr. Trump and his filthy ilk.

Good to be here among the informed.
