Are we going to build a wall around every woman in the US? You are right on -- rape is awful, wherever it occurs. But the notion of 1 in 3 asylum seekers being raped and us doing nothing about it is horrific, unChristian, and appalling. And, if the Border Patrol knows about this, what are they doing to stop it?

I doubt that will be the case. I believe - based on having read MANY comments online - that Bernie Bros (& gals) aren't going to support ANYONE but him. They are as fanatical about Bernie as Trump's supporters are about him. They will be as responsible for Trump's being RE-ELECTED as they were for his being elected the first time. And Bernie himself will, too.

I had thought it was a cheap shot at Cohen's testimony about how difficult it will be to get him out of the White House should he still be there in 2020 when he (GAWD, I HOPE) looses the election. And, maybe it was that. Maybe his humping the flag WAS a cheap shot at Cohen? But you never mentioned Cohen in this piece, so I deduce it was a cheap shot at America in general. Thankfully, the flag is but a symbol and we don't all now need to go get checked for STDs. (GAG)<br /><br /><br />I thank you for your posts. <br />R.K.

I tried to explain to her about symbols (flags), presidents (especially if incompetent), the importance of humor and laughter (even [especially??] when things are awful), or why working against the present earthly and American insanity is the only salvation for her future and realized I didn't have the words to explain it to her. It was more important to step away from the keyboard and just go hug her. I did. I can get always get back to Indivisible, policy advocacy for transformative energy policy, and anticipating reading The Uninhabitable Earth. Each of us must do what we can. MY hat is off to anyone who's willing to absorb two+ hours of Trump before CPAC in hopes of further enlightening us. Thank you, Jim Wright.

We old folk know he's a lying conman and if the truth comes out in either of the investigations now being done, his base will no doubt call it deep state conspiracies. The truth won't set them free because they don't believe the truth about Trump. If Millennials, who refused to back the liberal candidate, Hillary Clinton, because they either didn't know how to vote or were pissed off that Sanders legitimately lost the Primary,continue on with their refusal to back anyone but Sanders and if Sanders again loses the Primary, chances are very good Trump will get 4 more years as POTUS. So that is the conundrum now, how to convince the largest sector of the voting public to get on board with the Primary Candidate, whoever that person is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08153364982049718030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-28407385687932069322019-03-07T11:12:02.734-06:002019-03-07T11:12:02.734-06:00"For if America can’t protect the weak from t..."For if America can’t protect the weak from the ruthless, then what goddamned good is it?"<br /><br />None. <br />Sorry. <br />None. <br /><br />Don't get me wrong.
