Walls

Hillary Clinton says she doesn't support a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. That's a critical distinction, we're told, between her and the Republicans' "big bad," Mr. Trump. But she supports the wall between Israel and Palestine. In February, she also said that the U.S. needs to help Israel "develop better tunnel detection technology."

During the same month, a poll finds that 51% of Americans support the Donald's plan to prohibit Muslims from entering the United States, and another finds that 50% of Israeli Jews want Palestinians expelled from their country. As Hillary has told us, "The alliance between our two nations transcends politics."

Trump's recent foray into Christian fundamentalism has not been without its missteps. He's apparently as confused as I am about one thing... If abortion is murder, why in the world would women not be punished for getting one? Doctors deserve prosecution, no anti-choice activists seem to question this. Women should be at least accessories to murder if they authorize this action. Roe v. Wade has led to enough legal abortions to be compared by some to the Holocaust or to American slavery, how about some prosecutions? Or maybe it's not really murder? Maybe there is a difference? Like I said, I'm confused.

What have we discussed here before about public records and formal admissions" getting dumped on a Friday afternoon so that they can be buried by the news cycle over the weekend?
