For years I've referred to the Democrats as spineless cowards, but the modern GOP seems to bending over and grabbing their ankles more often than not these days. And in doing so they've abdicated their legislative responsibilities, thus defying the Constitution's built-in checks and balances.

both parties are being doormats. I'm assuming they're being paid to act this way.

Note I am not engaging in false equivalence. Democrats are being spineless. Republicans are actively facilitating fascism.

Like the man says, power corrupts. Republicans were so disturbed by a black man they couldn't directly attack and discredit being elected president, that they resolved to do whatever was necessary to undo everything he did and make sure they never lost power again. The present situation is the result of that vow.

It's as if they want all this to happen the way it's going down.

Sibyl L could be worse: in college we read a book called The Man (if I remember correctly) about the first "black" President. It was written in the 60s and was obviously fictional at that time. By the end of the book Congress wrote legislation prohibiting black Americans from ever being elected to the Presidency and forced him to sign it into law.

Our GOP hasn't gone that far yet.

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea?

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

What's so innovative about the Apple Watch?

What's so innovative about the Apple Watch? What has Apple done since the launch of the iPhone that was truly innovative? I read articles all he time about features this and software that, but I haven't seen anything where it was definitively proven where Apple has been cutting edge for years. christopher rizzo called me a troll for questioning his religious adherence to Apple consumerism.  So, can someone explain where Apple is truly innovative? I'm not talking about a minor change like the USB-C port or "slide to unlock" but a true innovation that's once again changing the industry. http://www.fastcodesign.com/3043419/what-the-apple-watch-does-that-googles-watches-dont
