Anyway, it was at that point my heartached too, but it was also a revelation. This is not a Presidency. This is Drama.

Sad

[/quote] This is circus ,which becomes drama when you think that involves the most powerful office on the planet who the rest of the mankind looks up to for guidance and leadership.

the word "socialism" has a bad connotation but it turns out the most socialist institution in America is the US army ,the crown jewel of the American conservatism pride lol. http://www.thedailybeast.com/troops-of-the-uniform-unite-the-military-is-a-socialist-paradise http://firebrandleft.com/us-military-socialist-organization-america/

My main objection to California is the "dream it and it will happen" mentality. They dream it, it doesn't happen so they think the dream wasn't big enough.

As for abortion, the libertarian side of me says "if they don't want their child, society shouldn't be burdened". But on the other hand, a local science museum has a display of fetus's in one month increments and it is very obvious to me what you are terminating after 5 months. I think every woman considering an abortion should view a similar display.

As for Planned Parenthood, I think everyone should be at least curious what they are really doing as for as tissue harvesting. Not wanting to know means you have a suspicion they are going beyond even your personal bounds.

In the Republican primary, Trump was a tie for me for last place (with Lindsay Graham and Huckabee). Had the Dems put up anybody but a Clinton, I would have preferred them to Trump.

As for CNN, they are partly to blame for Trump. The way they (and MSNBC, NBC etc.) gave him free airtime all through the primaries, it was obvious they wanted him as the weakest opposition. And poor, dumb, arrogant Trump was clueless what happened, he actually believed they were doing it for ratings because people loved him so much.

I'm just glad to be back up here in the Rockies - Sorry for ya'll's angst & dismay.

Coming from a simpleton; I feel the term "progressive" has been hijacked by the left, as has immigrant/immigration.

My sis & hubby are libs/progressives- Live right thar in Marin co. While visiting, last summer, the uncle, basically, in so many words, tells my 18yr old that he needs to really explore what the worlds all about when he goes off to school. That's there's much more out there than what his parents think, etc....

My son tells me this and, (thank God), has the capacity to realize the projection ism, (that a word?) - How these people that live in such a bubble are so incredibly naive.
