calimary's JournalSure looked clear to me. QUITE a "bottom line."
Ask yourself this Time. If your house was on fire, would you get out your notebook and interview the fire about its plans and policies, or would you do all you could to deprive it of oxygen?
Don't forget the term limits!
This lifetime appointments shit has MORE than outlived its own usefulness.
Oh Gosh YES!
It's hard to imagine anybody more scummy than the donald, but there are a few who do get to that level.
Here's the part I REALLY hate:
The In a move that took the states abortion advocates and OB-GYNs by surprise part.
WTF??? They havent been around long enough to understand HOW ARDENTLY the opposition wants to take womens rights - AND our bodily autonomy AWAY???? Did they just fall off the turnip truck yesterday afternoon??? Where have they been for the last several years (if not DECADES)??? On Mars???
NOBODY ANYWHERE should be lulled into complacency about this issue. We drop our guard for even one DAY, and I guarantee you: the opposition will be back, trying with all its might to take that right away!!!
Are our reps awake yet? Still in denial? Focused on something else? WHAT ELSE is there of this level of importance than a womans right to make her own decisions about HER OWN BODY???
Do our bodies even belong to us anymore, or are our bodies the property of the state now?
Well, remember when he yowled "where's my Roy Cohn?" ?
That was pretty recently.
I did a search:

My ass he wouldn't.
I'd bet on it. He's a vindictive little Pharaoh-wannabe.
I say "Pharaoh" because in the days of ancient Egypt, Pharoahs were considered gods. And treated that way. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out that this is the donald's secret AND long-held wish. Ever since somebody at school or somewhere crossed him in some way when he was a very little kid. Just speculating here, but I am deeply curious about how he got the way he is. What made him aim for there? What made him think he was quite simply entitled to whatever was to be had at the very tip-top peak of Mt. Olympus? Who was it, way back when, who knocked his little nose "out of joint" - and over what?
It HAD to be something. Some occurrence. Some encounter. Some mishap. Some moment in which he was denied control (or it was abruptly jerked away from him. Only reason I say this is because, watching his behavior, this total rank-amateur/not specifically schooled or "degree'd" can't help concluding that something dented him rather deeply, back when (I'm guessing) he was a kid. Much younger. Before he was old enough or tall enough to start bullying and dominating and letting his ego run amok. Somebody challenge him - maybe to a fist-fight and they were much bigger so he knew he'd lose? Did somebody break his heart when he was just starting to think he was The Omnipotent Mr. Casanova-In-Command?
It HAD to be something. I'm WAY curious! Yeah, I'm weird, but I've gotta understand the bedrock motivation and what happened to flip his switch (as it undoubtedly did). I gotta know.
Besides, seems to me the more we know and deeper we understand this bastard, the more decisively (and devastatingly) we can undo him.
Cuz NOTHING lasts forever. Not even you, donald.
