So Ivana is confirmed to have died of blunt force trauma at the bottom of a set of stairs and now her ex husband and kids of course have their depositions postponed... lol

You couldn't write down a more desperate and depraved scenario if you tried. These ####s killed their own mom.

You're right. Politicians shouldn't be held accountable if the other side is worse. Go blue team!

Online activism and being outraged on social media will surely magically bring change!

You're right. We just need a couple more poems from Bono and surely our problems will be solved.

You know why he's over there and what situation occurred that caused the move away from the initial saudi plan.

America is heading down a very dark path. The ripple effects of the U.S. morphing into an authoritarian state are gonna be scary, and I'm especially worried about how this is going to effect Canada.

I am wondering what is really driving this “sudden” turn away from inclusion and diversity. Was this always there and is now just boiling up to the surface?

Cultural shifts happen in waves, little forward, little back. The inclusive crowd went a little far by trying to expose elementary kids to drag queens and encouraging them to change their gender. I think that was a key factor in coagulating the current push back.

When did anyone encourage kids to change their genders?

Children getting murdered is okay, but they'll see a drag queen reading a children's book over my their dead body!

I am struggling for the proper words here.

Do you have so much hatred in your heart that this is the only possible cause? Take your blinders off and be a human.

If there was foul play (doubtful), it will be reported and the perpetrators brought to justice. Until then you are using a persons death to make a political point.

That does not look good on you

Yes Mitch McConnel looked into his crystal ball 40 years ago when the GOP started working with the Federalists to stack the US justice system with right wing anti abortion constitutionalists and saw a day when kids might not be virulently homophobic and thought 'over my dead body!!'

Well you should take your blinders off and read my post again. I did not anywhere say that this was the only possible cause. It is indeed possible for someone to randomly fall down the stairs and perish, especially someone in their 70s.

It's just way less likely, given the mountain of publicly available evidence against the people in question showing they are undoubtedly some of the most depraved and disgusting people on planet earth. So my assumption is that they have murdered their own mother/ ex-wife. I don't care at all if that makes you think less of me, you don't know me and I don't know you. I do know that the trump family is composed of vile, abhorrent beings who certainly would do things far beyond either of our comprehension in order to maintain wealth and power; given that the deposition they were set to give had an extremely high probability of incriminating them, I would say that goal and thus condition has been achieved.

Did they do it? Who knows. Can I assume based on everything I know that they are likely to have done this? Yes indeed.

Not that I would ever be in the position, but I would absolutely fear having you or anyone like you on my jury!

Innocent until proven guilty is for court rooms. It's asinine to treat all of life like this.

Well, except dodge rams. Based on the drunk driving statistics, they’re basically a gun on wheels.

I’m absolutely sick of this inaccurate narrative. Dodge and RAM split in 2009 and they are now just called RAM 1500, 2500 etc, not Dodge Ram.
