McConnell admits he doesn't have the votes in the Senate to repeal and replace the Affordable Health Care Act. He can't even get to 50. Now aren't there 50 Republican Senators? Whassup?

Michael Cohen, Trump lawyer extraordinaire, said what I quoted above. If true that means every spouse everywhere can be sexually assaulted by their partners without any charges being brought against them. Marriage confers authority to do whatever the he** you want to your spouse and you are within your legal right? Is that really how it goes or is Michael Cohen an unbelievably ignorantly stupid man who practices law very badly? He comes across as a tough guy who threatens others. Like the mafia concigliere. Whatcha think? Are all of us subject to sexual assault/physical abuse by our partners without recourse to any legal way to charge them and stop them? Does this Michael Cohen spout the law or is he as full of sh** as his client? Inquiring minds wanna know. less

It could mean that you don't grasp its entirety or that your prejudices get in the way of what is sensible and what is not. One size does not fit all. Right?

I know we are love, kindness, joy in the flesh, but also sadness, cruelty too :( Do you think we REALLY mean anything in this world? I'm saying if there was no religion, no other story of what 'might' be after we pass, but in this moment as a human, what do we 'Mean'? And wouldn't it be almost lighter in life if we didn't mean so much... if we just 'were' ? I have put SO much pressure on all I do, think or feel, and it becomes overwhelming over the years. I was recently contemplating what if we all really don't have much actual meaning, but are just 'Here'? In a way it is refreshing, b/c I feel I don't have to prove myself to others and feel this constant comparison or competition EVERYone has with each other. What do you think .. ? less

What happens to us physically when we laugh and when we cry that causes our bodies to react as they do? Anyone know?

He is breaking State Department tradition but he doesn't give a sh** apparently. His disdain is more important than doing the right thing. Shame on him. An embarrassment to the United States of America. Shame on him and those who support him. For shame! :(

They don't give a rat's a** what they have to do to make more of the stuff. Humans LOVE blood and gore and death and carnage and maiming. They keep track of such things. I suppose the more of "the enemy" you kill the prouder your country should be. Right? Numbers. All the deaths are simply numbers except to those who know some who died. To the rest of us? Numbers. Cold and removed and faceless/nameless. We give medals for extreme bravery. We give medals for all kinds of righteous reasons. Why don't we just figure out how in the he** to stop making the reasons for giving medals OBSOLETE? Of course that means making less money. The US budget for military spending is huge. What would happen if human beings finally became humane and just stopped killing one another? I know. Pipedream right? less
