Next time, let's vote for someone who has shared the same ups/downs in life as 99% of us and is not a lawbreaker, cheater, thief, fraud, con artist, woman hater or convicted sex assaulter who has never shopped, spent his own money, played w/kids, raised a dog or read a book.

There were 14.42 million females in Texas in the 2020 census. How many will (continue to) vote for Republicans at the state level now that they see their leaders are willing to let them die rather than let them make healthcare decisions for their own bodies?

@thejackhopkins My husband has advanced dementia and lives in a special care unit at a nursing home. A few years before he went into the home, he talked like Trump does now and we laughed. As his thinking got more confused, he got more demanding, aggressive, punitive and, finally, violent. Fyi.

Saddle up, Texettes! Millions of female Texas voters want to live, thrive and raise their kids in Texas. Tell them to first elect a government that won't let them die in childbirth and won't put their doctors in jail for saving their lives. Register, then vote in every election!

@Danphillipsresi Where do men get this notion that they own women? Does someone teach them that? Why would they think they can "handle" women if they get uppity or want out? Don't they know women have the same civil rights as men, no matter where they live, what their religion is, or their age?

@DonotInnovate @Alba_Dawn @SenatorSinema @Sen_JoeManchin As I said earlier, common sense left the room long ago and was replaced by the lust for power and money.

@brhodes @itsalwaysand GOP: I know I burned down your house, shot your dog, scared your family half to death, smashed your car and trashed your yard, but would you kneel with me right now and join me in prayer for brotherhood and world peace, my friend?

@7Veritas4 Targeting, persecuting. Do we use those hot-button terms to describe all investigations resulting in indictment? No. In the arrest in LI's Gilgo Beach murder investigation, did media claim police persecuted the perp? No. Trump is a perp. No more, no less. He's not above any law.

@_cingraham You could make a audiotape of the noises in your house and sell it to Sleep Sounds on Spotify. Call it After Rain.

When this is over, we're gonna need to take a really good national shower to wash away the hate and filth. Maybe we could all gather at Niagara Falls. Bring your own soap and towel.

@Strandjunker Love it! My husband was in an adult daycare program that happened to be across the street from an elementary school. Once a week, first graders visited. Each child had an "adopted" grandparent who read to them, did puzzles, sang and spent 1/2 hour w/them. Both groups prospered.

@funder @BrianSaysStuff It looks like Trump selected for ignorance when staffing the WH. That's fine! It'll be that much easier to wrap up this package and put a bow on it. Merry Christmas, US!

@thejackhopkins @careaware It's also in the domestic abuser's handbook. Cast doubt on the sanity of the abused partner. Create chaos. Say one thing/do another. Make baseless accusations. Start fights then play victim. Blame the real victim. Physically/mentally exhaust the abused partner. Rinse/repeat.
