This week the Health and Human Services Department cleaned up ObamaCare’s dreadful trampling  of the religious rights of the Little Sisters of the Poor.
HHS finalized new rules granting a broad religious exemption from the contraceptive mandate.

Little Sisters prevailed after court battles all the way to SCOTUS and won relief from Obama’s crushing fines.

Should be a lesson to the left that the little person IS treated with respect that the Constitution requires.
Red has been long-time advocate for the "little person."

Man, I’ve not slept this well in years.

Trump is in panic mode (Hitler in the bunker) and he is lashing out at the one group who has never been afraid of his bluster. Black women. The base of the Democratic Party.

https://www.stltoday.com/news/national/govt-and-politics/toobin-says-racial-dimension-to-trump-s-attacks-on-black/article_315f2e59-8419-5474-aee9-24a56a7a76c3.html

He is enraged and afraid. He’s not used to this, for the first time in his life he’s not getting away with shit.

This is a dangerous time... I’m afraid he won’t go quietly and the GOP Senate, federal judiciary and SCOTUS could actually back him up in a last ditch effort to stem the swelling tides of brown people from within and without.

IMPEACH 45!!!!!!!

The Leftist govt in Melb Vic state can't/won't even say "African gangs" and "Islamic terrorists", let alone say "African Islamic terrorists".

So there'll just be more of the same [violet home invasions, terrorist slaughter-stabbings etc] in Melb/Vic until the people there stop electing Leftist govts.

Would've been 'lovely' if those gas bottles in the terrorist's truck had exploded, not.

If Trump put up Gowdy or Graham he would be grilled on that.

Both those guys are probably smart enough to understand what happened to John Mitchell, a former AG who was asked to run a cover-up.

Plus the FBI isn’t holding enough evidence against those guys for trump to consider them good candidates.

Somebody got something on Graham, his 180 spin on Trump should be a feature on Dancing with the Stars.

The Kremlin showed him their photos of him swimming naked with a manatee...

not that there's anything wrong with that.

It was raining.

Good thing they kept fighting in the rain, even if Trump can't be bothered.
He also referred to it as a celebration. I cannot wait until I am surprised by stuff like that again.

2nd that.

Am growing allergic to the twit-tweets and the convoluted defenses of them that often follow.   I'm sure SS will tell us what Trump really meant.   I have no problem using that monogram for Sanders.

Edit-I see I'm late to the party.


https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/11/10/donald-trump-cancels-visit-wwi-cemetery-ceremony-because-rain/1958788002/

Our Commander in Chief didn't have the decency to pay respects to Americans who died fighting for this country, becasuse it was fucking raining.

Or maybe Putin told him not to go.

Every day Trump manages to disgrace this country.

PARIS – Saturday's rainout of President Donald Trump's visit to a World War I cemetery is drawing catcalls from critics, including Winston Churchill's grandson.

"They died with their face to the foe and that pathetic inadequate Donald Trump couldn’t even defy the weather to pay his respects to The Fallen," said Nicholas Soames, Churchill's grandson and a member of British Parliament.

I saw some #s which said if the remaining contested House seats break as expected, House Dems' class of 61 freshmen would include *35* women & 19 white men. By contrast, Republicans' class of 31 would include 29 white men & just *one* woman.
