We've all been seeing this on the news for quite some time now. Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Sean Bell, Eric Gardner. Do you see where I'm going with this? That was just a small list of black men that were victims of (police killings). Sandra Bland, Kindra Chapman, Joyce Curnell, Ralkina Jones, Raynette Turner, you still see where I'm going with this? For the men I may have jumped around between years and months but the list of women I mean that all happened in July of 2016. The Huffington Post published an article that stated that in the US there were at least 258 (police killings) of black men and women in 2016 according to a project called The Guardian that tracks (police killings) in America.

If you can't see this with (Trump) as our president I can't help you. We need to stop looking the other way unless these things directly affect us. Any way this is just an introduction.
So it seems there has been rumors of impeachment proceedings. With all the investigations and his obvious ignorance about the American people. He has tried to pass bills such as "the new affordable health care act". A bill which could leave up to 25 million Americans without health insurance. A good majority of his supporters are currently under "Obama care". What will they do now? Remember during his campaign he said that he was going to "take care of women"? How is defunding Planned Parenthood taking care of women? You do know that abortions are not the only thing that they do. There are men that also go to Planned Parenthood as well. Oh and let's not forget that under the new AHCA rape is considered a pre-existing condition as well as pregnancy. How is that taking care of women? Those same people that say abortions are wrong are the same ones claiming their tax dollars shouldn't have to pay for another single mother that made the "mistake...
