I support impeachment too.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.

A #friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely.

Clinton: It then got at the end quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate. One of the most vile bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the internet.

Left-wing MEPs push Commission to finance abortions in the EU Signed by 105 MEPs, the letter to Ursula von der Leyen calls for a European fund to ensure effective access to reproductive healthcare, a move one million European citizens have requested. #EuropeNews

105 members of the European Parliament sent a letter to the Commission’s President Ursula von der Leyen, putting pressure on her to support the European Citizens’ Initiative “My Voice, My Choice”. It could improve access to safe abortion in Europe by funding travel from countries with less access.

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

This is clearly blatantly intentional voter suppression and any claim otherwise is completely unserious

Resilience, ridicule guarantee hate group’s flop at D.C. anti-abortion march When 120 white nationalist Patriot Front members descended on Washington, D.C., they were met by counterdemonstrators and clown music.

NEW, from me: I talked to people who shut down Patriot Front's rally in D.C. last month.

Counter-demonstrators made it impossible for PF to produce propaganda and recruit at the March for Life rally. The clown music set the tone.

How the majasty of the mountains makes an elephant look small. This is stunning.

Hines: I handled human trafficking cases all over Southeast Michigan. I believe survivors deserve justice, no matter who the accused is. Accountability cannot depend on whether someone is powerful, wealthy, or politically connected.

And I don’t want to hear shit about a censure vote against this man.

Rep. Al Greene was ejected from the State of the Union for the sign — “Black People Aren’t Apes.”

Thank you friends. I think the thrashers are so cool. Love their sounds, from sweet sing songs to the lazer. Yes, they use their bills to dig up the soil, tossing it around a bit, evidence on the sidewalks. They mate for life.

This is a heart wrenching read.
