Mike Allen somehow forgot to mention that money that might have normally gone to the DNC went into the campaigns of the Democratic candidates instead. So, while Trump raised around $165,000,000, all the Democrats running for president combined raised $718,000,000. So... uh, yeah, Mike Allen. Sorry to pop your little red balloon.

Head of ACLU's Disability Rights Project supports aborting babies with Downs
You know the left is truly insane when the head of the American Civil Liberties Union's Disability Rights Project, that fights for the rights of the disabled, says it's fine to kill unborn babies because they might have Downs syndrome, or other disabilities.

Given that the same people who argue for abortion tend to oppose capital punishment because sometimes innocent people are executed it seems odd that they'd support executing the unborn unless it was 100% certain that they might be disabled. Second thing is how ca... more »
