There is not. It's taken me to long to truly accept this. Trump fighting with a pregnant war widow brought it home.

F*ck everyone of them. It's all so disgraceful. I don't know how anyone who has ever served can support him. Thank goodness. Hopefully, they won't be able to agree.

The Myeshia Johnson feud is awful. It depresses me how many people believe Trump's side. On the flip side I'm enjoying the feud with Corker.

Saying something will never happen is pretty extreme. The last time I did it was the day of the election when my husband told me to get ready for President Trump and I said with utter disdain "that will never happen". It's not like Trump won white women in some kind of landslide. Religion plays a huge role in there being so many conservative women, imo. So many are brainwashed even in this day and age. That and all types of humans have greedy and selfish in their ranks. I also don't think white women hate each other any more than any other group of young women.. Young women tend to think they are in competition with each other (they aren't entirely wrong) and there is a lot of rivalry that goes into that. I went to a women's college and as far as I could see these issues crossed race lines, but friendship and love did too. As far as the workplace goes, I think women (and men) are physically safer with women in charge. Look how many women mentioned HW's physical size as the reason they initially went with it. One look at FBI crime statistics will tell you that men tend to make up the vast majority of violent crime. That doesn't mean women managers don't make life hard in a host of other ways. I know of at least one woman who would not stop harassing a male coworker because she thought she was in love. Total stalker. She never touched him, but that just made it harder to get rid of her sorry ass.

I think it's at least possible he will, absolutely. His approval ratings are awful, but that doesn't necessarily mean people who will lean right will vote left. I can't forget how easily he decimated the Republican nominees either. Maybe he won't be able to hold it together another three years, but fool me once and all that.

^ Yeah, not one thing funny about that. I think he would if he could.

Yes. My God. This is just horrifying.

WTF is wrong with people? This cannot be allowed.

Exactly right.

Hi reports are the stuff of nightmares. Yes. So awful and no one at all to stop it.

Seems like we talking about Trump in the politics thread, but not in a separate one. Can't swear to it though.

It was Kristoff. I follow him on twitter, but I couldn't think of his name.

It's insane. There are so many terrible things happening right now and people are still going on about this. Hell, the fact that these players leave the game with serious brain damage almost down to a man is no problem. Taking a knee is the problem. It's infuriating. Rand Paul may be my new (temporary) hero. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/10/white-house-leans-on-rand-paul-to-back-tax-plan-243601

It's terrifying. What Vee just posted is unthinkable. Everyone in Congress knows we are being led by a madman but they won't act.

Anything could happen, but my point is a lot of people are in denial while pretending they aren't. I'm talking about people in the media.

^ Right. I mean few people seem to think North Korea will launch a bomb that will hit where they are. I see a lot of reporters/bloggers on twitter joking about it, but if they believed it they'd be reporting/blogging from Europe.

Yes. None of us really believe he's going to get us in a nuclear war, if we did we'd be getting out of Dodge no matter the cost. I only have these moments of believing it. Then my mind pushes it down again. Some reporter from the NYT was doing the media rounds today. He's been in North Korea recently and he was saying he thinks the threat is real. That's why it's feeling more real to me today I guess.

Here's hoping we get that far. I seriously wonder if organized human society can survive WW3.

Some things would be moving forward if the Republicans weren't so tribal. Thank god they can't agree on things like healthcare. Also, it's not like the president is simply neutral or a non factor. He's actively disrupting Washington by failing to make a ton of appointments. https://www.timesofisrael.com/denmark-to-join-european-nations-in-outlawing-burqas-niqabs/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter This seems sad to me. What will these women do just stay inside all the time?

And still is right? I believe I've read something about the Republicans keeping that way on purpose, but I can't swear to it.

I can't even pretend to be surprised. These guys are hypocrites almost down to a man. How many times have gay bashing congressmen been caught having sex with a man? How many times have "family values" congressmen been caught having an affair or worse yet leaving a wife with cancer? Even John McCain is said by some to have left his first wife because she was disfigured in a car accident. He cheated on her first of course. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1024927/The-wife-John-McCain-callously-left-behind.html

Why do mass shootings always bring out the anti choice loons? Someday I'll learn not to debate with the nutjobs on the internet.

Yep. He thinks he gets to choose, but doesn't want to let women and teens decide for themselves.

I hear you Khan. I just figure that in addition to that there is an ulterior motive. When the Saudi Arabia is a part of the equation I always suspect something more is afoot. It's disgusting the way we are supporting their destruction of Yemen.

Disgusting although I was more surprised that Japan voted against it. I guess I always thought of them as being more civilized than we are. I wonder why we voted this way? In support of Saudi Arabia? I wish the article more analysis.
