KY_EnviroGuy's JournalYes. We're going to be facing some very serious mental health challenges.
As more people realize they've been hoodwinked, they will face serious fear, depression and anxiety problems. We can only hope they seek help and don't resort to violence - domestic or public.
Many I fear, will learn the heard way that keeping their minds occupied in the right-wing propaganda bubble will not help with these very serious mental issues.
Even worse news is that the Repug congress critters will be reducing access to affordable mental health care. 
According to a rough calculation that is approx. $18,000 per capita.
Over a 15-year period and the population at approx. 310 million.
That would buy a lot of beans and 'taters, folks. 
Agreed!
And, anyone who years ago exposed Limbaugh for what he really is - is OK by me, LOL.
Seriously, Al is a champion of the best of progressive causes every day in Congress, and he's very intelligent. If there ever was an antithesis to our very despised Sen. McConnell, Al is the one! 
THIS too - Check out this cool movement - Very inspiring!

Run for Something will recruit and support talented, passionate young people who will advocate for progressive values now and for the next 30 years, with the ultimate goal of building a progressive bench.
We’ll take a chance on people the usual “institutions” might never encounter. We’ll help people run for offices like state legislatures, mayorships, city council seats, and more. We’ll do whatever it takes to get more under-35 year-olds on the ballot.

I love the idea of getting more young people to run for office. An analysis has already said they are winning races at an unprecedented rate!
What amazes me these days about Al is...
how he can restrain himself when doing talk show interviews. I can tell he would really like to let 'er rip on the Republicans, but manages to maintain decorum and the dignity of his office.
Better man than me in that regard, LOL. 
To me, this would be unfair to the poor.
People that pay little or no tax would not benefit, and we need voters of all income levels out to vote.
Instead, why not just give each voter a crisp $20 or $100 bill to help with expenses (gas, bus fare, etc.)? That would also help anyone that actually lost income because they took time to vote.
However, you can bet that Repugs would be against it because it would cost them net votes.
I think Franken has shocked a lot of people...
with his dedication, sincerity, and thoroughness. The Repugs thought he would be a joke but they've learned better. I think they fear him now.
He's one of our best and Minnesota is very lucky!

What Disney won't buy:
The Fox broadcast network, as it's not allowed to own two separate broadcast networks.
Fox's sports programming assets. This would be to avoid concerns that, in combination with ESPN, the assets would be anti-competitive from an antitrust point of view.
Fox's local broadcast affiliates, reports CNBC, citing people familiar with the negotiations.

Therefore, Murdoch the Australian won't let go of Faux News, his personal TV media arm of the U.S. Republican Party.
There are no gun issues when...
There are no gun issues when you live in gated communities with security patrols and guardhouses.
There are no gun issues when you live in a penthouse with guarded entry.
There are no gun issues when you're a politician with Secret Service or police protection.
There are no gun issues when you're wealthy enough to hire private body guards.
There are also no gun issues when you're dead.
Thank you, T_i_B for your input from the UK.
The real shame to me is that the corporate world does not care about people's heritage or culture. Instead, they focus entirely on profits.
The areas where mines were located would make excellent places for factories, with a hard-working labor supply. Instead, we see manufacturing and even high-technology firms located where it is most convenient and profitable for the company. Changing this mind-set would require a complete reversal of thinking in the corporate world - from profit oriented to worker orientation.
That would also require a substantial change of attitude in our current governments, so that locating in poor or more remote areas would be rewarded. Also, government would need to support new or improved infrastructure in those zones.
