I'm Not Seeing My Trump-Loving Family On Christmas And I Couldn't Be Happier About It
https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5c17d7bce4b030ed3ed001d0?ec_carp=7833643173178993602This Christmas will be the third one I havent spent in my hometown. Its a small town in southern Kentucky filled with more than its fair share of Donald Trump bumper stickers and Confederate flags. But even before Trump was elected president, it always made me feel claustrophobic.
The end of this holiday season will also cap the second calendar year Ive gone without speaking to my parents, and by extension, the rest of my family. My holidays are no longer spent at my grandparents house with my parents, sister, uncle and random cousins. My parents helping to put Trump in office was the final nail in the coffin of a relationship that had long been rocky.
And despite peoples well-intended (but unnecessary) sympathy, life has never been happier for me.

What is our position on border security?
Obviously a wall is just stupid. But what is our policy? Should we track everyone crossing? Should we prevent people from crossing from south America without going through established channels. A big part of all these is obviously bad immigration policy of course.

What is the end game regarding the shutdown?
How does this end? It seems tRump will eventually have to cave.

Go Bernie! I'm feeling the Bern!
Bernie mania 2018 - feel the Bern!
https://news.yahoo.com/bernie-sanders-feel-bern-2020-202851088.htmlIf theres somebody else who appears who can, for whatever reason, do a better job than me, Ill work my ass off to elect him or her, Sanders said. If it turns out that I am the best candidate to beat Donald Trump, then I will probably run.
Go Bernie! I'm feeling the Bern!

Aren't all repukes traitors these days?
It maybe was different in the past, but today's GOP party are just traitors. Is that too strong?
