Are you kidding me right now? ETA: I mean seriously, who does this? By pulling something like this you are just bringing MOAR attention to what a jerk you are than you would if you quietly ignored whatever it is that you don't particularly like. You are supposed to be a politician for crying out loud. This is NOT the kind of publicity you want.

I'm not denying that it's possible some people were being pains in his ass but, um, that's Representative Democracy? It's their right? Maybe try listening to them? Ever? At all?

I’m really on edge about this shutdown. We’re not prepared to be able to go more than a week or two without H’s check this close to buying a house

So, I just found out that the lead infant teacher at our daycare center is in the U.S. under temporary protective status. She's afraid to come to work now because of the raids. I wondered about this because I knew she was from El Salvador and had been in the U.S. for about 15 years. I would put a lot on the line for this woman for the beautiful care she provided to my son. I wish I knew what to do.

Hey asshole how bout you get your ass back to the white house and figure out how to keep the fucking government open.

Lol. Did you see the pics of him next to Obama? No way that Trump is 6’3”. Maybe in his younger years he was 6'2"-6'3"? By 70, men can shrink by as much as an inch... My dad is the same age and has lost at least an inch. so yeah. there have also been pictures of him next to athletes all over my fb feed who have the same 'stats' as him. there is no way the ones reported are accurate.

shadesofgold I am so sorry. That's heartbreaking. I wouldn't know what to do either. I hate that she is in this position, and I hate that there seems to be nothing we can do to help.

I am so sorry. I hate that so many people dismiss the potential of a shutdown as no big deal without thinking about the impact it has on lives and futures.

I wish I knew what to do. That's horrible. She has four kids and I think that only the younger two were born in the U.S. I've made dark jokes to MH about "readying the attic" this year, but I always meant it. I've told the director of the daycare several times to let us know if any of the (mostly Latina immigrant) teachers ever needed anything in the "current climate." I know she would, but she's also remarked that they probably would be too proud to ask. I guess it's time to be a little more explicit? Or just let it go?

Maybe pull them to the side and say you know a place for them if they need one and for them to pass it along to the others? No one should have to live in fear like this

You know he couldn’t be the same height as Obama, he had to be taller I missed 2 days and skipped 10 pages, so forgive me if this was said already, but I saw yesterday a theory about why he’s listed taller than his drivers license, which said 6’2” is that his BMI would have been obese with the shorter height. I’m sure the above is true as well!

It makes me so mad that Congress can fopp about, sit on their hands, and play politics and allow a government shut down to screw over hardworking bureaucrats who are just trying to serve their country

I mean...they deported a 39 year old father who had been in this country almost 30 years. I dont think you're being dramatic at.all.

If you feel you can’t provide services to a transgender patient, you should GTFO of the healthcare field.

@heartbot I couldn't even finish reading them. Each was worse than the last. All that did was confirm how uninformed or cruel I find Trump voters.

ICE is taking into custody easy targets. I would absolutely tell the women yourself, in person, maybe give them a card with your phone number & address. Also know your rights and share this info with them to be sure they know their rights. Another thing is find out if you have an immigration bail fund near you. Some legal organizations will have these and work to get undocumented persons out of jail quickly in order to avoid ICE custody. A big thing that happens is someone gets picked up for something minor, as simple as jumping a turn style, and then they aren't able to make bail and ICE pucks them up in the meantime. Or like a friend of mine who had a warrant open for his arrest due to a clerical error. He was very drunk in public and the officer tried to take him home but he lost his keys, so the officer took him to the drunk tank. By morning ICR had picked him up and he was in ICE custody for 7 months.

I’m thrilled with the progress that President Trump has made in defeating ISIS, cutting taxes for middle-class families and making court appointments.
At what point did we defeat ISIS? Did I miss the memo? There was no MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner to my recollection
