    Maybe not for you personally, but if Hillary had been elected we wouldn't have concentration camps in my home state.
    We wouldn't have a serial sexual abuser as our latest Supreme Court justice.
    Our deficit wouldn't be skyrocketing at record pace from tax cuts that serve to concentrate wealth even more into the hands of the wealthiest.
    We wouldn't have a federal government that wants to strip me of the right to exist in public.
    We wouldn't be in the process of completely destroying the United States' status as a world leader.
    We wouldn't be in a trade war that serves only to stoke the ego of a petulant man-child.
    We wouldn't have the most corrupt administration since the Taft administration (and possibly ever).
    We wouldn't have a president who takes every opportunity to stoke the fear of other.
    We wouldn't have Nazis in the administration with the ear of the president.
     
    Exactly how would it have been worse under Hillary?

    I hadn't heard that one yet.
     
    Here's what I found, for others who may not have heard it. From Snopes:

    Pretty messed up. If you have religious objections to providing medical service to anyone, then you need to find a new line of work.
     
    And Severino seems to have a fundamental misunderstanding of the issue of gender confirmation surgery (hopefully I used the current terminology this time). There are very well-established protocols leading up to GRS to ensure that it's being used on the right patients* and as far as I know there are less issues with the process than in the past. EDIT: The footnote got sucked into the quote block for some reason, but the part after the * below is not part of the quote, it's my footnote on care standards. I can't edit the quote sections of the new board as the code doesn't show.

    Please look up the origin of the "National Socialist" portion of the Nazi movement and its relation (or utter lack thereof) to socialism before continuing that particular line of reasoning.

    Federal judge lifts last of injunctions against Trump's transgender military ban.

    In case anyone gets into a discussion in the next couple of days with someone who insists that being transgendered means that the person is mentally ill, this article gives a fairly good layman's description of how and why that isn't medically true.

    The big difference here is that the law Ivanka broke was not a law when Clinton was using her private server. The only even potential illegalities found in the entire ridiculously long investigation into Clinton's emails were mishandling of classified materials, which were mostly classified after the fact.
     
    On the other hand, Ivanka's use of a private server, when combined with the fact that she has not provided those emails as directed by the law, constitutes a clear felony violation.
     
    And the news media covered Hilary's emails more than all policy issues combined during the 2016 election. Every detail was belabored again and again. For something that wasn't even a crime.

    They've also been banning idiots that can't read. It follows on my own feelings so I am good with it.
     
    When the election was going on, one of my coworkers (most of the older ones are conspiracy nuts and flat earthers) said Trump is better than Killeray. I was like are you serious? Because if you are, you are a ton of words meaning stupid, some slurs and other things. He was like what? And I said we would ban deliveries from Trump because he'll always call back trying to get free food and won't tip the drivers. Eventually we's have to Roscoe his dumb @$$.

    Because the Christian people who support Trump only care that he is as much of a bigot as they are. The Christian  people who don't support Trump recognize he is the embodiment of the seven deadly sins and want nothing to do with him.

    Another option is to summon an immobile construct with OCV levels for Grab and high strength, and / or martial maneuvers and as many martial arts damage classes as you like; I included a couple of custom maneuvers below which might be suitable. How many points you want to spend and how tough you want the construct to be determines the rest. The appropriate automaton powers would be suitable as well. The summoned construct acts on its own speed and dex. It can have whatever other abilities you think would be interesting, or none, as you think best.
     
     
     
    Sacrifice Grab: 1/2 Phase, +2 OCV, -2 DCV, Grab 5 Limbs, Lasting Restriction (5 points) Big Crush: 1/2 Phase, +1 OCV, +0 DCV, +4d6 Crush, Must Follow Grab (5 points)
