Feeling. How desperate they must be feeling. I’m having a hard time this week with all of this.


She also told us how Perdue pharma makers of oxy contin were charged with misdemeanors after 400,00 people have died from overdose.

Is there a worse form of torture for any parent than to force them to abruptly terminate lifesaving treatment for their children? Republicans have shown us who they really are and we should believe them. Without a doubt, they are the essence of evil and they have contaminated our politics and government to this unconscionable point. There is no bottom for their depravity.

Fear and ignorance are the bulwarks of Satan.
Hate is a symptom, fear is the virus.
The defining characteristic of conservatism is cowardice.
We can't mollycoddle these dangerously stupid cowards anymore.
They are going to continue to destroy lives until all of their power is taken away.

call out this regime doing crimes against humanity. Miller and the rest of them need to be held accountable.

That Orange Jerk lacks any kind of normal human empathy. He is literally looking to commit child murder.

This should further alienate suburban women, particularly college educated ones.

This idiot has a loyal hardcore of about 33%. But I have to think he is bleeding other 2016 supporters daily. And....he has made it quite possible for us to take back the Senate.

Then hopefully it will be time to hold Drumpf and his helpers accountable for their crime, graft, etc.

It has been like a Mob Administration.

I think they are following historical precedent and seeing where the boundaries are. They haven’t found any real barriers yet.

Expect the cruelty to keep ratcheting up until there are consequences.

Pretty much the entire reason they're in power.

No one opposed them.

sounds like she's more qualified for an Einstein visa than certain ex-models: she had a quality that made her suitable for a clinical trial, and it sounds like the ability to help follow through with the research. She sounds like the kind of person I want in my country.

13. She's not just a "sick kid"

She's an adult, who, according to the researcher interviewed by Maddow, actively participated in cutting-edge medical research to find a cure for her condition - a cure that is so far only available in the US. And she seems to be person who has overcome the obstacles life put in front of her.

But she's from Central America, and therefore non-European - the kind of people Steven Miller loathes. The country would be better off with more of her and a lot fewer of him.

Moment of Geek, Best New Thing, Friday News Dump, and more.

I miss smiling and being sent to prison, and was mad when she didn't do it.

I haven't seen tonight's show. But I know that Lawrence had to do a Mea Culpa because of being wrong on the bank co-signing story. Dang....now I need to watch the show now. I was going to wait until tomorrow...
