Why are we talking about Donald's sex life

when Republicans refuse to stand up to the NRA, when DACA is almost dead, the WH is ridden with people that have been denied security clearances, when the poor are getting shafted, when Russia keeps killing our democracy thanks to Trump... Why should I give a damn about all the porn stars Trump has had sex with? If he used campaign money to silence them, then let's take care of that. However, let Melania and his kids question Trump in his roles as husband and father.

We are losing out country and they are using these stories to distract us. We live gossip and sex, so that's what we are getting as palliative care as we die...

This is not about mental illness!

It is about the empowerment of white nationalism and domestic terrorism in America. Why has the Trump Administration cuddled them? Let's frame this debate in a way that we can expose these bastards for what they are. This is domestic terrorism!

Trump wants to deny or revoke legal, permanent residency to people getting public assistance

Sorry for the typo in the title. I hate typing on my cell!

Who was the last decent Republican president?

I was born during the Reagan era, which means that the Republican Party I have known is the greedy, racist and warmongering political organization that has brought us Donald Trump. But, at what point did they became such an evil force in American politics? Who was the last Republican president that could be described as a decent human being with good intentions, even in disagreement with his policies?

Is anyone sharing my hopelessness tonight?

I am in my 30s, so I had never lived under such an oppressive, racist and dangerous presidency. Not even W or Reagan, in my view. I feel we are witnessing something deeply horrible and transformative, as Trump has openly declared people of color the undesirable other. He is going after all of us hard, starting with the most vulnerable- undocumented and temporarily legal migrants of color. These are millions of colored folks this bastard is about to kick out. He is also going after LEGAL colored immigrants (my dad is a permanent resident from the Dominican Republic). Who says millions of legal immigrants will not wind up fucked up by the system because of some racist, shitty scheme? Where does it end? It doesn't. As long as they have power, the white nationalist garbage that rules us will not stop until they start putting Americans of color in "our place".

This shit is bad and it's getting to me. I had to vent.

President or Vice-President Holder...

Why? Why not? It came to my mind all of a sudden, and I'm intrigued by the idea. What are your thoughts?

Latest from Puerto Rico

Just talked to family and they told me that FEMA is telling people that any funds provided by them for home repairs need to be spent at Home Depot- nowhere else. Also, they are setting up info desks inside the stores in order to "facilitate" things for people. Is this normal? Sounds kinda shady to me... Are the Home Depot folks Republican donors or something?
