Reminds me of something I learned in Catholic school.

Karl Marx famously said, “Religion is the opium of the people”. That really made sense to me. Learned that through outside reading, not something the nuns taught in class.

Sounds like somebody loathe to admit he was wrong.

Who knows? Maybe that’s how he built his career.

Well, I wear my liberal identity with pride!

And fuck the GOP if they don’t like it.

And while they’re at it, they can GET OUT of America’s BEDROOMS!!!!!

That's my guess, also.

Damn straight!!! Speak UP! Make Some NOISE!!!

Silence MOST DEFINITELY IS acquiescence.

Amazing the lengths some will go to, to dominate women.

And keep women dominated.

They must assume we acknowledge and accept our “place”: to simply lie back and enjoy it.

That doesn't surprise me.

What I find the most irksome is that people are only starting to wake up about this (and about him) now. How did he get away with it almost monotonously all this time, up until right now? How long is his free ride? And isn’t it BEYOND high time it stopped, for Pete’s sake? At long last?

Was everybody asleep?
Did nobody give a damn?
Did nobody think this was important?
What else was more important?

Here's a HUG!!!

And another one.

And Another one.

And ANOTHER one.

And ANOTHER one.

And ANOTHER one!

AND ANOTHER ONE!!!

You aren’t going through this alone, mopinko. Our hearts and our hopes (and yeah, prayers too) are with you.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
