1. What any individual does in terms of having children or not is their choice. Full Stop.

2. We agree on the importance of children. This country needs to commit to feed, educate, care and support every child , no exceptions.

It’s basic math, economics and morality, that the healthier and better educated every child in this country is the more positive their impact on the economy and more importantly, on society and future generations

3. Which leads to the question of hate.

Maybe I’m wrong , but if one of those children is born to an illegal immigrant, my understanding is that you do not want to help them and you want to deport them ?

IMO that is not what a civilized society does. That is hateful.

4. Does that mean I believe our current approach to immigration is the right one? No I don’t.

This country needs immigrants, our birth rate is declining (yes I see the irony) but we play ridiculous, political games to determine who we allow or don’t.

Using Asylum as the foundation for entry makes it harder to keep the criminals out

There are communities and businesses across the country that want and need immigrants to relocate there and fill open jobs and start businesses, or just to grow the community so it can survive and thrive. We need to make it easy for them to welcome immigrants

Our current system makes that far more difficult than it could be.

5. Using the term “elites” is divisive. No matter who uses it.

It’s one more example of generalizing and trying to set people against each other.

I speak for one person. Me.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

@SpeakerMcCarthy I never heard my father tell me it’s how much you fold, especially against your country. He’s a veteran, but you and your family do you Kev. ✌️- out!

@KidKohls72 @RobertLusetich @RudyGiuliani If you are sticking your head through broken glass of a window into the Capital during the electoral college count for the office of the President of the United States, within a mob trashing and savagely beating Capital Police you deserve what you get. PERIOD.

@elonmusk This is a post from a CEO, but not from a 10 yr old. Imposter account?

[NoelCaslerComedy @caslernoel]

P.S, also think about all the time many have spent setting up new accounts at Brontosaurus or Libel or whatever. That's time they weren't spending doing the thing that annoys Elon the most. Protecting democracy. He's a chaos agent and a world class creep. @elonmusk

[NoelCaslerComedy @caslernoel]

As the Russian's retreat more war crimes are being uncovered. Killing Twitter help keep this off of the global stage as much as possible. Apartheid fell in part because of international outrage and progressive voices stating dissent. He's probably still pissed at Little Steven.
