If you have a child with a surrogate outside of the country, your child might not have rights as a citizen. This includes a fertilization procedure with a US parent. For homosexual couples it has ben labeled as born out of wedlock, which ahs some other connotations.

I'd imagine it has to be doubly so if you adopt as there is no genetic association.

The courts threw this out in February, but State has appealed.

Employees are employees. Government has no business giving them control over the owners.

Would it be a nice thing for a company to so empower its employees? Sure. Is it the government's role to mandate it? Nope.

Corporations and owners are always so quick to treat their employees fairly. Never needed any mandates from the government for any of that stuff...

I think the Democrats have a good chance of picking up his seat in the special election even though Trump won the district by a lot

Workers have every right to stand up and work together to ensure their employer treats them and the public fairly. Period. Government cementing these rights is fairly basic stuff.

My Campaign for President was conclusively spied on. Nothing like this has ever happened in American Politics. A really bad situation. TREASON means long jail sentences, and this was TREASON!


It is also clear that there is not an understanding in any sense what treason is or what the remedies are.



This tells me that there is stronger evidence that Trump or someone in his orbit did actually commit treason and he's now running cover for it.

The White House is reportedly pushing for Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar to come to President Trump’s golf course in Doonbeg, Ireland, for a meeting when the president visits the area next month.

An Irish government source with knowledge of ongoing discussions told CNN that the Trump administration is insisting on picking the location of the meeting.

"The Irish government feel that protocol dictates that any event they host for President Trump should be at a venue of their choosing and certainly not at an hotel owned by Trump," the source told CNN.


Great, we need to be lectured by a foreign government about the impropriety of self dealing.

plenty of good comments from the Irish about the the seediness of the request

Amash marches to the beat of his own drummer. He was not my favorite prior to Trump, but he's been one of the few in the Freedom Caucus who hasn't given up all his principles to Trump.

U.S. Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan on Saturday became the first Republican lawmaker to say President Trump had "engaged in impeachable conduct." In a series of tweets, Amash wrote he had read the full report by special counsel Robert Mueller and had concluded there is a "threshold for impeachment."

"Under our Constitution, the president 'shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors,'" Amash wrote Saturday. "While 'high Crimes and Misdemeanors' is not defined, the context implies conduct that violates the public trust."


May as well have a little context.

FYI. Trump is about to pardon a murder. Don’t let the flashy headlines about a Navy Seal being pardoneded fool you.

Gallagher indiscriminately murdered innocent people, including children. His own soldiers testified against him despite this piece of shit threatening them.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?
