Puerto Rico governor asks Trump to consider statehood
Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló asked President Trump Wednesday to recognize “that Puerto Rico’s territorial status is discriminatory and allows for the unequal treatment of natural born U.S. citizens.”
In a letter to the president obtained by The Hill and timed to coincide with the anniversary of Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico on Thursday, Rosselló said the island’s territorial status negatively affected recovery efforts post-Maria.
One of my biggest gripes with the current administration (even before María) is that they are more focused about getting statehood than fixing the problems in the Island, and their willing to do anything to achieve it.

re: #136 fern01
I am sending myself insane by seeing old white men dictating who and when a woman should talk to, about what happened to her as a young teen.
This administration and its enabling congresspeople are pure evil. Many are near to going to their maker & I so wish, but very much doubt, they will eventually pay a price for what they do.
WashingtonPost Leader - Democracy dies in Darkness - is happening as we watch & the media enables.
The lack of any empathy makes me sick. It was tough for me at that age to disclose to people about my Asperger’s diagnosis that happened that year. I can’t imagine how Ford felt with a sexual assault on her mind. These guys are cowardly assholes and if there’s any justice in the world, their wives, daughters, and grand daughters will all give them the cold shoulder forever. I’m hoping that the grandkids that were probably looking forward to Grandpa Orrin’s retirement know that their grandpa is a disgusting douchebag who is advancing a creep solely for partisan gain and was prepared to let an innocent man take the fall.

He said (paraphrasing) he knew what a sacrifice it was for Cruz to be away from his family so much, working hard for what he thought was best for the country, and he admired that.
Sure isn’t a sacrifice for the family - given how he treats them
“Well, there wasn’t a crime committed.
These are two teenagers and it’s obvious that she said no and he respected it and walked away…
He just flat out says that’s not true. Regardless if it was true, these are two teenagers and she said no and he respected that so I don’t know what the issue is.

Sorry for being so crass but these guys are really bringing me to the point of furious anger of denying that this was an assault or a crime to do what was done by Kavanaugh to Ford. It was better when they were denying it even happened because at least that sort of implied that they would think the allegations construed a crime. What an evil party the GOP is.

At this point I think the primary Republican motivation for forcing through the Kavanaugh nomination is because he’s accused of attempted rape.
“Take that libtards, we’ve just put a man accused of attempted rape on SCOTUS and you couldn’t do a damn thing about it. Neener, neener, neener!! If it turns out he really did it, well fuck you, you’ll never have the 2/3 majority in the Senate necessary to convict on impeachment.”
Thus diagnosed, the long term plan is obvious. Take the House, presidency and 2/3 of the Senate, and clean out the entire judiciary. For starters.

Miller allegedly entered a sexual relationship with Doe, who Delgado says in the filing became pregnant. As the filing claims (emphasis theirs):Shortly thereafter, according to Joe Doe, Mr. Miller visited her at her apartment with a Smoothie beverage.
Unbeknownst to Jane Doe, the Smoothie contained an abortion bill. [sic]
The pill induced an abortion, and Jane Doe wound up in a hospital emergency room, bleeding heavily and nearly went into a coma.
The unborn child died.
Jane Doe herself was hospitalized for two days, the abortion pill possibly reacting with potential street drugs in her system at the time she drank the Smoothie.
Upon leaving the hospital, a rightly enraged Jane Doe contacted the staffers of local politicians with whom Mr. Miller had been in attendance at Rachel’s the night they met.
Mr. Miller then, in a panic, attempted to have Jane Doe sign a non-disclosure agreement (“NDA”), presumably in exchange for a sum of money.
Republicans love NDAs and other gagging techniques.

re: #183 HappyWarrior
To women lizards, as a man. Please hear this. I’m sorry. I’m sorry that so many men are assholes. I’m sorry that men mostly white men in this country seemed more bothered by a shoe company having an ad campaign with a football player they disliked than a man who attempted a rape being nominated to SCOTUS. I’m sorry that time and time again we vote Republican even though the rest of the country is bucking that. I’m sorry that we gave this country Trump. I’m sorry for Brett Kavanaugh who were he a man of color would have never been allowed the rapid advancement he made. I’m sorry that HRC was called shrill and whiny while we elected the biggest whiner I’ve ever seen to be our President. If you want to elect nothing but women Presidents till the day I die, please go for it. I’m sure you’ll do better than we have.
Well, yeah, this. Don’t mean to make light of it but…
I’m not going to apologize for being a heterosexual old white guy, retired (They pay me for not going to work!) who has never sexually assaulted a woman. Did I have some drunken encounters in college? Sure. But there was always a mutual “yes”. I can’t imagine myself forcing myself on a a woman for sex.
I’ve been married to She Who Must Be Obeyed for over a quarter of a century. Before we met, she was the victim of a sexual assault. It has affected our marriage. We have a friend and colleague visiting with us this week and staying in our guest house who was sexually assaulted. It has affected her life.
I cannot tell you how many women I have known who have been accosted and/or raped. It’s a stain on all men that it is written off as “youthful this” or “boys will be boys” or “she said no, but her eyes said yes”. It’s rape and assault.
But that’s not the situation here. Kavanaugh, appears to be a sexual predator, and his membership in a club in college routinely referred to as “Tit and Clit” speaks volumes.
This man has no business being on the SCOTUS. And that’s a dead stop.

I was 13 when investigators showed up unannounced at my jr. high & pulled me from class to interrogate me in front of school officials. I was embarrassed & terrified. I had not reported, someone else had for me. Scared, I convinced everyone they had it all wrong. #WhyIDidntReport

re: #240 teleskiguy
When’s the last time Fuckface Von Clownstick did two of his Nuremberg rallies in a row?
One of my colleagues here has posted images of the Missouri rally on his WeChat, saying he wanted Chinese people to see how “traditional Americans” support Trump. Apparently, one of his former Chinese students was at the rally and took real-time photos.
“Traditional Americans.” Need I say my colleague is a white man from Texas in his mid-60s?
I wish he had not posted those remarks in public. He’s otherwise a pretty nice guy, albeit occasionally grumpy. Now I doubt his sanity.
Thanks to a blind eye in public perceptions, us decent men hear about sexual assault (edit) in depth from the women in our lives. Or try to help them cope with it perhaps.

Perhaps this is what happened to Dr Ben Carson.

134 years is “centuries”?

WTF is that? I doubt Carson even knew what the Fabian Society was until the lunatic who gave this to him but wtf.

Every person not to nitpick him. But it shows again what a truly terrible and heartless piece of shit he is.
re: #249 makeitstop
Has the forced birth crowd called him a murderer?

Of course not—the woman didn’t take it of her own volition. You can do anything to a woman you want to—it’s only when she tries to do anything that the bible-thumpers give a shit.

My step-father went into surgery about ninety minutes ago. The plan the physicians settled on is to remove all the toes from his foot. The surgery is expected to last six hours.

If I were Rick, I’d just say fuck it the GOP isn’t worth saving. Maybe he, Frum, Navarro, & some other people can try to start a sane alternative but the GOP needs to die or at least suffer a long time wilderness.

I would love to see Collins and Murkowski walk up to the desk in the Senate together and do the same thumbs-down gesture McCain did.
I would also like to see a unicorn.
re: #191 fern01
I find it so sad that you think you have to say this. Most of my working life I earned more money than my husband - one guy I worked with told me he would divorce his wife if she was the higher income earner - and then wondered why our friendship fell apart
My husband smiled and said he much enjoyed the fruits of my labor.
There are some good guys out there - and we have to believe they will eventually overtake the a..holes. The average age of the old white senators is OLD. I will not mourn their passing.
You’re not secretly my wife, are you? /s
