Katie Porter: ‘I Cried Today Because My Grandmother Is Dying Of Covid-19’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
I am sorry to hear about your grandmother Katie……you are one of the good ones
Yeah she is.
She should have stopped Pelosi from blocking the COVID relief bill then.
Calling Katie Porter good is too simplistic. Katie Porter is rational, an expert lawyer as in she knows the laws and can explain them. She puts her focus and effort on exploring what they mean and the reasons the laws came into being. She has empathy for her fellow human beings.
@Callie Smith
FU hateful troll 🤮
No decency at all
Georgia needs to come through to get McConnell ousted from from his position as majority leader and stop this nonsense!!🤔
We know wht the roadblocks in Georgia are, we know who’s behind them… and apparently, we the people whom these representatives are supposed to protect and serve are doing everythg (legal or otherwise) to suppress our votes. So, let’s fight fire with fire!
We need to organize a movement… let’s call it *’ex: buddy voting’.* It would be a simple movement, voter’s would travel with a buddy. They would come prepared for the worst possible outcome (hour’s in line); bring blankets; sandwiches; hot soup, tea/coffee; a folding chair; a plastic raincoat, umbrella and a *buddy.*
Now the important piece… if it is a long wait, stand in line in shifts (ea commit to an hr in line, while the other returns to their car). This coupling system could also be done by those traveling in buses.
Those practicing this system would need to have something to indicate tht this is wht they are doing (utilizing a buddy system), so no one thinks they are jumping the line. *The coupling should be limited to 2 people only!* (C-19 > distancing)
We need some type of system… somethg tht makes the waiting bearable.
We need those 2 Dem’s in the senate… and we need *mitch’s wraith* suppressed. If Kamala won’t step in and take over Mitch’s reign… voting is our only option!
Hey Phil, McConnell isn’t from Georgia, try again. Oh by the way ladie your party the democrat party believes your grandmother has been here to long any so let’s just give her some pills like Obama said, tough to hear when it’s your family right.
His own state just voted him in, it’s their fault for letting him stay
@Kay Davis Yes! My entire family will vote for both candidates. Also, I informed many of my cousins today concerning early voting and who to vote for. Our lives depend on those two seats.
Thank you for the encouragement:)
@Sayoni Mukherjee Thank you so much. My prayers are with you and your family. We all are struggling to get through this pandemic, but I do believe a little encouragement and support ❤ goes a long way, even if, it is in words!
I’m so sorry Katie , praying for your grandma 🙏
there is no grandmother
she’ll die anyway. everyone does
@Vasectomy Fail Sending this message right back to you and your family.
@Charles Reed, you have no clue.
@Vasectomy Fail, true, but dying an untimely death, alone, is tragic.
Moscow Mich! Is also a co-conspirator Trump’s clown treason coup attempts at destroying America and our constitution of independence.

You’ve probably never even read the constitution because you can’t read cursive.

Awe Miss Katie, that sucks to hear… praying for strength
*trumpvirus.*
He earned that title, all by his wittle sewf.
Typhoid Trump , the virus existence is NOT his fault , the handling of it IS.
His endless lying about it.
And having his minions purposely spread misinformation and lies about it , is the civil crime, Mitch McConnell wants to absolve them of.
So we basically be letting Trump’s deep state (which could be the only deep state) walk away clean from the damage that they have done.
And that’s why you see the trolls , going into overtime.
YES AND RUDY I CALL TYPHOID RUDY AND COMP.
Prayers for the Porter family and their grandmother.
Ms Porter, you have hit the nail on the head, as usual.
