    You still don't get my comment, which was about using correct grammar.

    YOU asked me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And, what's the grammatical problem you're having with "graduate, graduating & graduated"?
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Seems to be a Democrat trait. Anything more than a one line tweet or a 5 second sound byte, they are lost.

    Seems to be the case. I'm still trying to figure out what her problem was with the word 'graduating'.

    I don't have a problem with using the correct grammar. Hope this clears it up for you.

    Graduated Versus Graduated from

    At first I thought this topic was too narrow to deserve a whole podcast. I haven't really heard the phrase "graduated college" or "graduated high school" much myself, but apparently I just don't get out enough because when I did a Google search, the phrase "graduated college" was twice as popular as the phrase "graduated from college." Twice! The wrong way of saying it showed up twice as often.

    I scrolled through the results for "graduated college" hoping perhaps I hadn’t thought of a saying in which the two words just happened to show up next to each other, but alas, every result I looked at was a student talking about how they had just graduated college...

    It is bad out there, but we can still do our part. People do listen. So listen closely: If you go around saying you graduated college, you sound illiterate. The correct way to say it is that you graduated FROM college. Here's why:

    "To graduate" is a verb, and it can be both transitive and intransitive. Remember that a transitive verb takes an object and an intransitive verb doesn’t. Remember, an object is the thing or person the verb is transferring action to—the thing the subject is taking action on..."

    Miriam Webster disagrees with you. No surprise there: https://www.merriam-webster.com/word...-was-graduated

    There is no problem with it. Seems just another Democrat who thinks they know more than they actually do.

    "...couldn't even take care of herself after graduating high school." What's the problem? It's very common a short cut. I'll use 'from' if I feel like it.

    Which is correct. And accepted. One would think someone questioning someone else's grammar would reference something like Miriam-Webster and not some cheesy ass "quick and dirty tips" site. And Democrats wonder why no one takes them seriously anymore.

    Since AOC's family getting food stamps at one time seems to be such a sore subject, let's discuss republicans who receive farm subsidies instead.

    "...records from the Department of Agriculture, shows that of the 32 legislators who received farm subsidies, 31 grow crops that are also eligible for crop insurance subsidies.

    The farm owned in part by Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-Calif., received at least $5.3 million in farm subsidies between 1995 and 2016. LaMalfa is a member of the House Agriculture Committee, which has jurisdiction over farm subsidies.

    Other big farm subsidy recipients include Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa and Reps. Vicky Hartzler, R-Mo.; David Valadao, R-Calif.; Devin Nunes, R-Calif.; Kristi Noem, R-S.D.; and Ralph Abraham, R-La.

    Abraham is also a member of the House Agriculture Committee. Overall, at least seven current members of the House and Senate agriculture committees received subsidies between 1995 and 2016.

    No. Lets not. Lets stick to AOC getting food stamps instead of being able to support herself at 19, and your complete lack of understanding of grammar.
