Mika opened up the show today with a passionate 7+ minute plea to viewers to vote with Kate Cox and Roe in mind. Wake the hell up!

(52,764 posts)I could never contain myself when speaking of this situation. I cuss and yell, spit venom, and scowl when speaking about TFG, Paxton, the Texas SC, and Roe.

As far as people are concerned there are safeguards in place for that. The media tells them so. The media also tells them that Trump is in first place. The way disaffected voters are they won't vote for Trump, they'll just stay home. A lot of people are just holding on in their day to day struggles. Voting isn't mandatory, it's a choice. The only way to get people up to vote is to inspire them. Yelling wake up doesn't do shit.

Just over two months after we learned a baby was coming, she started having horrible pain and went to the bathroom. She called to me and was filling the toilet with blood, passed out and feel to the floor. Called 911 and she was taken to the hospital. We were so terrified and heartbroken. We were told to wait to try again. But in todays world she would be facing murder charges.
We ultimately had our daughter in 1989. Here mom lost a lengthy battle to cervical cancer in 2000.
I have raised her alone, put everything in my life aside to do so.
I would be lost without her. May not have wanted to continue without her mom and her.
And I am certain, nobody Gives a Shit about this story or will change a vote. But ya know what, fuck them, I WILL vote to help all other parents to not face what we may have faced in a miscarriage today, and never had a chance at a daughter like mine. Not a got mine fuck you voter here.

(9,753 posts)I retired from an amazing job in 2012. Earned a time of happiness after Serving the country and Teaching 30 year's. And he has shit all over it pre 2016. And no end in site.
All I can do is leave a lot for my daughter that I worked a life for. And knowing my years are very limited, I wont have to deal with many years of his takeover.
But I hope I live long enough to see his cult suffer like live fish thrown out onto a Walmart parking lot in July. I can just smile, walk past them and Say, Ya should have WOKE the fuck up, and ultimately get cremated with a smile on my face.
