This & that ....Donald Trump under fire for mocking disabled reporter, Ted Cruz's ignorance
"This individual [Cruz] understands less about science (and climate change) than the average kindergartner. That sort of ignorance would be dangerous in a doorman, let alone a president."
Being disabled myself, and as sure as I am that most of you are, or have family members that suffer disabilities.... if you want a candidate that disregards us as rational, intelligent and purposeful human beings - this is the man for you.

Donald Trump under fire for mocking disabled reporter
Republican presidential contender Donald Trump has been criticised for mocking a disabled New York Times reporter.
Mr Trump performed an impression of Serge Kovaleski, who suffers from a congenital joint condition, at a rally.
He has used a 2001 article by Mr Kovaleski to back up widely disputed claims that "thousands" of Muslims in New Jersey celebrated the 9/11 attacks.
The New York Times called Mr Trump's actions "outrageous".
'The poor guy'
Referring to the 2001 article (published by the Washington Post) at a South Carolina rally on Tuesday night, Mr Trump called Mr Kovaleski "a nice reporter".
"Now the poor guy, you gotta see this guy," he continued, before launching into an apparent impression of Mr Kovaleski, waving his arms around with his hands at an odd angle.
"Uhh I don't know what I said. Uhh I don't remember. He's going like 'I don't remember. Maybe that's what I said.'"
Mr Kovaleski has arthrogryposis, a condition that affects the movement of joints and is noticeable in his right arm and hand.
A New York Times spokeswoman told news site Politico: "We think it's outrageous that he would ridicule the appearance of one of our reporters,"
The original Washington Post article by Mr Kovaleski said that authorities in Jersey City "detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river".
Since Trump's claims about Muslim Americans celebrating 9/11, the reporter has said he does "not recall anyone saying there were thousands, or even hundreds, of people celebrating".
'Unsurprising'
The mayor of Jersey City has said Mr Trump's claims are "plain wrong".
Mr Kovaleski reported on Mr Trump between 1987 and 1993. He has said he is sure the businessman remembers him and his physical condition, the Washington Post reported.
"The sad part about it is, it didn't in the slightest bit jar or surprise me that Donald Trump would do something this low-rent, given his track record," he was quoted as saying.
Donald Trump's campaign has not officially commented, but the tycoon has taken to Twitter to attack the New York Times.

Supporting the Iran Agreement, War Mongers, Republicans Destroying the Postal Service, et al
Ted Cruz is the most hated man on social media for a reason...He's a despicable human being. I live in Texas and I've never heard a good thing said about him. Hopefully, he will be a bad memory soon. The very sight of him makes my skin crawl. He's Sara Palin with a penis.
Exactly! Share if you're tired of fake Republican scandals!

Quote by Kimberley A. Johnson, make sure you like her page!
Republicans are relentless in their attacks against the U.S. Postal Service. Americans simply cannot afford to let them succeed.
"In the first quarter of this fiscal year, the post office would have made an operational profit, if not for a 75-year healthcare 'pre-funding' mandate passed by Republicans that applies to no other public or private institution in the United States."

EVERY American should support this bill.

"The report was released to coincide with the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. American Bridge notes that the Koch brothers are now engaged in a PR campaign to boost their image and to gloss over their role in compounding and then exploiting the Katrina natural disaster.
The Koch brothers see opportunity in natural disasters. In some cases, their actions can intensify the disaster’s impact, but more importantly, after the catastrophe unfolds they can exploit the tragedy to make more money. The Koch brothers are “disaster capitalists“ who see in other people’s suffering an opportunity to further enrich themselves. The Bridge Project report is hardly surprising, but it is highly disturbing."
We definitely agree. Do YOU?
