I am a type one diabetic and have survived 2 bouts of cancer. I acquired these through no fault of my own. I take care of myself, I don't smoke don't smoke or dip. I rarely drink and I'm not overweight. But I have what is considered pre existing conditions. Are people like me shit out of luck?

I live in central Maine. You can't survive here without a car. I drive 40 minutes each way for work. Even in our cities we have no real public transportation. I wish it was better. My son is scared to drive and wants to move to a city where he can at least walk to work.

I have 3 adult children that still live at home. The rental market is just more then they can afford. I know they would like to start their adult lives away from home but can't afford it. They are hard working kids but I don't want to see them go hungry to afford rent.

I am an adoptive foster parent. One of the children I adopted came to my home at 3 years old. There was severe abuse both verbal and physical. He is now 9 years old and still has night terrors and major outbursts at school and home. He will always calm down if you offer a hug but the trauma is there

I have type 1 diabetes. This is not from me being unhealthy. What am I supposed to do to lower my health care costs? My insurance has already skyrocketed and now they are deigning certain insulin because it is not preferred by them.

California did it right. Put it to the people not the politicians to elect their representatives.

Is he going to be taxed on the income?

He should be forced to live off minimum wage and only have food stamps to eat.

I have 3 adult children. I tell all my children how important their voices are. Voting is deigned to so many and not to be taken granted for. None of them have missed a vote in any matter since they were of age.

I was just asking my wife if we should go buy groceries or donate money. Thank you for helping our decision πŸ™‚

Congratulations! on November 5th it will be 3 years for me. By far one of the hardest things I have ever done was quit.

I have given up trying to explain or debate with any MAGA. They love to be mad about something all the time. It is a revolving door of stupid topics that make them angry.

Someone needs to get the Speake a subscription to a variety of newspapers so he is better prepared for questions. He never knows what going on in our country.

I have never been asked those questions in an interview. I am a man with 9 children. 2 of whom have special needs. My wife on the other hand has been asked similar questions.

My MAGA brother says this to me all the time when I bring up all the rights we’re losing.

Nothing says you should have won the Nobel Peace Prize like send your cult after the committee because you did not win.

I have hope that others are not being intimidated by this orange man. They held to their principals.

I feel like I woke up in the worst timeline about a year ago. Life is unbelievable anymore. I can't handle the constant stupidity happening in our country.

I have a very MAGA brother. He is always posting angry stuff. He needs to be angry all the time. That's what I notice most about republicans, they need a scary monster.
