After thinking about JD's comment

That only parents with natural born children are invested in the future.

My oldest brother is adopted. He has never been anything else but my brother. He was never anything else but our parents son. They were there for everything for him and his other two brothers. (I’m one of those.) When my brother got hurt they were there. When he graduated they were there. For some reason maga can’t comprehend beyond a black or white idea. There’s no in between. No shades of gray.

His staff I guess had to explain things to him and released a back track on his statement. I doubt if it really made a dent in his thick skull. But being someone who will say anything if it’s to his advantage I’m sure he’ll come out attacking those who have brought it up.

There’s not enough turd polish on earth to make that execrable statement passable.

Think of republican Beverly Russell who continually had sex with his adopted daughter Susan Smith who killed her two children.

Right wingers tried to rationalize it by saying she was not his real daughter.

First and foremost I am a human being and I care about the planet in its entirety. I care about the future of all children. How can I care only for mine and not all the others? I care about the environment, animal and plant life. All of it.

I know women without children and they care just as much as I do.

And yes, they all have cats. As do I.

...a bigger shovel, so he can keep digging.
I have an adopted sibling, too. Was never anything other than my parents' daughter.
