Pelosi and Feisstein are working on this. I plan to vote for both of them again. And again. And again.

I’m just feeling vindictive over all this bullshit.

Okay, are you fucking kidding? I can’t even get the goddamn propane company to answer the phone. Do you really think calling or writing letters or making stupid signs and marching actually achieve fuck-all? News Flash! NO! Pointless gestures to make you feel good about yourself.

Get real, Pal, and put down the crack pipe. And punctuate!

And I’ve got some goddamn better (and more) speakers than you, so piss on your shitty audio! 😛

I thank you for your efforts. I went to a June 14 rally----the only one in the south. Georgia? South Carolina? North Carolina? Tennessee? —Nope. Montgomery, Alabama. I guess there’s a reason it claims the birth of civil rights.

Frances Fisher was there------Kate Winslet’s mom in Titanic. Unforgiven. The Guiding Light. Well if you are interested IMDB her.

It’s what we have. Contacting your senators and representative is what you can do. If you have something else, I will happily entertain your suggestion. But it is by design. We are to contact those people if we feel strongly.

Well, didn’t you read the thread – he _contacted his representatives and senators_, of course! Such a brave sacrifice on his part, don’t you think? 😉

Would that we would endure such suffering on others’ behalf. _raises a glass_

Did you contact your reps? It would do me good to know.

No, it wouldn’t.

I literally told you of a phone campaign organized by me which _may_ have helped apply enough pressure on Ted Cruz to work with Pelosi so that he did, in fact, begin to work with Pelosi (according to the Politico article linked earlier).

You thanked me. You thanked my daughter.

Then, two hours later, you asked me if I contacted anyone.

No… answering that question in the affirmative does no good at all.

I’m going to another rally in a week. I’m not sure what that does. But the last rally was hot as hell. So if suffering is the point, I get that credit.

I would still like to know what PC word for someone who sold her soul for money. If it was posted earlier please point me to it.

I’m angry. I’m angry with good cause. Sometimes mistakes are made.

How about “someone who sold her soul for money”? Rather like if it were a man we’d say “someone who sold\* his\* soul for money”?

Whores don’t sell their souls, they sell their bodies. A bit of a distinction, there (actually, it’s more accurate to say they rent their bodies out). Which is another reason to not call Melania a whore.

And I don’t know that Mr. Trump has title to Melania’s soul. For all I know they mutually fuck each other over. Really, it’s between the two of them what they get up to in private.

Jeez, I wasn’t going to but after all the nagging, I called up a US Senator and told him that I fully support these child imprisonments, are you happy now?

What is the politically correct term for a person who married for money? I’m told “whore” is out of favor. But I don’t think I’ve been told what the correct term is. Do you know?

You don’t have to read a thread. It’s totally within your purview. But if you really didn’t contact your senators and representative, shame on you.
