You may want to hold off for a while on calling people idiots. The jury is still out on which group of voters were the idiots.

Just saying'.
That's about how most of us on the right felt over Hillary actually becoming a candidate. We're still in awe.

PP does much, much more than abortions. They provide family planning, cancer/std screening/treatment for gyn, and other health care services. This is a wonderful organization, which also provides termination of pregnancy in some clinics, which I support 100%.

Depends on how much he owes.

I have relatives who sport about in RVs and have grand homes, but it's all mortgaged to the hilt.

You got to wonder why a man who is as rich as he claims to be trudged along with that reality show for so many years.

Can't wait to see tax returns. Can you?

If people don't want to have abortions, fine by me. Don't have them.

PP provides birth control services that prevent abortions. You'd think anti-abortions folks would be in favor of that, wouldn't you?

Not a smart move optics wise... but from what I understand there is already the house oversight committee and this was some addition that the Dems added in 2008 or 2009. Created like a dual layer. If this was gotten rid of there would still be a house oversight committee.

Ughhh... Democrat celebrities are such whithered skanks... imo of course.

“It’s a really important opportunity to support causes like Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, Earthjustice, as they gear up to do ... What do you think?
The ACLU and BLM is what brought you Chicaga... oh, imo of course.

I'm gonna watch the Inauguration, on channel 360.

Love-a-thon sounds like some kind of orgy thing from the seventies.
