I commented on Zack Rodgers post which discusses whether Trump should be impeached.
I find your reasoning intriguing. I agree with your reasoning. As much as I would love to see Trump impeached, there is not sufficient evidence that he has done anything that would warrant an impeachment. I agree when you say that we cannot simply want to impeach Trump just for the fact that we do not like him.
People always jump at the chance to talk about impeaching Trump, but I doubt they take the time to think about who would take over office if it actually did happen. I personally do not think that we would be better off with Pence or Ryan as president.

Blog Stage 7
The United States is the most powerful country in the world, yet its' health care system is an absolute atrocity. I do not understand how a country that is as powerful as the U.S would not deploy more resources in order to provide its' population with high quality heath care. Having good and affordable health care should be a fundamental right for the American population, which is why I find the new tax bill that the GOP is trying to pass not only affects the American population that is not the one percent, but it also affects the currents health care system in place.
If passed, the new tax bill will affect millions of Americans regarding health care. The version of the Senate's tax bill would still make having heath insurance mandatory, but they would remove the penalty fee that people would have to pay if they did not have health insurance. However, if this gets passed in the Senate, it would mean a higher insurance premium that people would have to pay.
Heath insurance is already so expensive, the government should not be trying to pass a bill that would increase the price of health care. The government should be passing bills to make heath insurance free. If we have billions of dollars to put into our military budget, we can spare more than enough money to ensure heath care is free and accessible to everyone.

I commented on Michelle's post regarding the Trump administration cutting back birth control.
I absolutely agree with this blog post. It is 2017 and there are so many more pressing issues that should actually be far more concerning to politicians, than birth control. Birth control is for woman, there for should be discussed by woman instead of of a group of old man who think they know what best for woman, and think that they can dictate the choice of woman when it comes to family planning. It's honestly horrifying that in a country such as the U.S, the right to birth control is something that is being denied to woman.

Gun Control Groups Need a New Strategy
Isabelle Ross, an intern for Washington Monthly writes about a gun control legislation that is being introduce in House. The legislation targets the ban of bump stocks, which is a tool that modifies semi-automatic guns, to fire at the same pace as an automatic firearm. Ross argues that the Bump Stock legislation is not a big enough change, that will change the way gun control is regulated in the Unite States. She argues that extensive gun control laws will never be in place, unless gun-control groups rally together and find a "unifying strategy." She claims that in 2013, the NRA spent 62 times more money on lobbying, than the leading gun-control organization.
Ross makes a good argument in her article. The NRA has amassed a mass of supporters when it comes to firearms, because they have associated guns with "freedom" and "protection." While gun-control groups fight on the political front, the NRA fights using the fact that people are so attached to the right to bear arms amendment. I personally think that if after the Sandy Hook shooting, there was no change in gun-control policies, I honestly do not think that there is going to be any changes soon. The U.S showed the world that it was okay with gun violence, when innocent children were killed, and gun-control remained the same.
