The Trump administration’s favorite terms these days are “rollback,” “reversal,” and “withdrawal,” as they undo years of social progress and show the rest of the world that diplomatic agreements entered into by the U.S. are worthless.
Why not require gun owner insurance, like car insurance? There could be policies and regulations that include licensing, fines for non-compliance, age restrictions, competency exams and hours required at a shooting range.
Mike Pence and his wife Karen went to a Colts game, supposedly to honor Peyton Manning. But they couldn’t stay because the NFL players were kneeling in protest. It was all a show with President Trump taking all the credit for it on Twitter.
It takes a lot of nerve for Mr. Trump to say anything about Harvey Weinstein!
After being attacked repeatedly by the president, Senator Bob Corker said, “It’s a shame the White House has become an adult day care center. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning.”
The fact that rural voters across America supported Trump in large numbers, and still do, makes me ashamed that I was raised on a farm. What’s happened to the common sense, compassion, and generosity of farm folk that I knew all those years ago?
It’s very telling that Mike Pence didn’t walk out on the cast of “Hamilton.” He told his daughter that this is what democracy looks like. I guess his stunt at the NFL was a show of loyalty to the president. The GOP doesn’t understand how democracy works.
These birth control and abortion limitations have to be unconstitutional. No one should be able to withhold care, benefits or services because they have a different religious or political viewpoint. If you can’t follow the law of separation of church and state, don’t go into business.

“Religious freedom is the right to believe and worship as you see fit. It’s never the right to use government to impose costs, burdens or harms on other people. You can’t use the government to make other people pay the price for your religious beliefs or practices.”
This administration is using their religious objections to make changes to abortion and birth control laws. My moral objection is to war, can I stop paying my share of taxes that goes to the Pentagon?
Around 33,000 jobs were lost in September. We certainly can’t blame Trump for that. He had better tweet something moronic very quickly to take our attention off of this jobs report.
There is no attack on Christians. A person who does not believe in using contraceptives because of their faith is completely free to not use them. No government rule or law forces those pills down their throat. I fail to see the “attacks” on religious freedom.
Religious freedom is becoming an oxymoron.
When will the Republicans stop pretending to be doctors and stop forcing their religious beliefs on women?
