If Qatar want us to train their pilots, that's fine. That can be done in Qatar. I don't want Qatari Air Force pilots to be in control of military aircraft in US airspace in any circumstance. They're sympathetic to groups like Al-Qaeda and not trustworthy.

Did you know Nixon never served a day in prison because he was pardoned?
But his Attorney General did.
His Chief of Staff did.
His Domestic Affairs Adviser did.
His Special Counsel did.
His campaign chairman did.
Even members of his re-election committee did time.

What stinks is the media could be camped out in these cities and provide on hand accurate information, cable news can do the same. This moment is too important to be treating it so half ass.

Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

The Pope should call Trump and ask him directly what the hell is wrong with his employees.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

For anyone who doesn't understand just how goddamn great of an actress Diane Keaton was. She made ANNIE HALL and LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR in the same year and deserved an Oscar for both performances.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Abbott doesn't need his Guard because he never does shit to help his state, he sent them to Illinois and his own state will suffer. Just to kiss Trump's ass.

Stupid mindset, disabilities have no party affiliation. This is just another cruelty placed on children with disabilities and their families.
