I would not be angry at the dog for being rabid, the dog cant NOT be rabid.

I would have him put away so as never to harm again, as rump clearly needs to be put away, but anger towards someone with no human emotion and in his case NO brains, at all, is a waste of energy.

I am angry with the 45 million Americans who will follow him even if he starts shooting us dead...that is who I blame.

Sure, I blame him too and I hate the fucker, but you get my drift.

Imagine that, imagine the mind of a person who would try to end the fucking WORLD because his superior made a few jokes at his expense.

I also blame George W Bush and Dick Cheney, for example (there are others, we need to make a list, please contribute if you can) and other prominent GOP who refuse to speak out. They are literally watching our country burn to the ground and die from disease and wont say a word.

They need to be SHAMED and not just those two...I need help making a list so I can nonstop tweet about it.

Oh, and i was WRONG about Joe Rogan, i still cant believe he said he is voting for rump...i honestly thought he was smarter than that.

and the Pig's narcissism makes it impossible for him to be sincere.

Waste of time for people to take a call like that.

so many have been saying for so long.

Unfortunately it has to be highlighted by the heartbreaking tragedy of George Floyd, being murdered by Derek Chauvin & his accomplices.

Received a call from Joe Biden. When you’re suffering through the initial shock and devastation of losing someone it truly helps to become grounded by the sincere and gentle words of people expressing their condolences. It helps because it helps you along the journey of your grief. To be confronted with the false words of someone who doesn’t care about your loss and is just going through the motions makes you want to die from the added harm it brings.

That’s why I’m glad Biden called the family. He heals. And what he says about the day will come when the thought of your loved one brings a smile before it brings the pain of loss is absolutely true. That’s exactly what happens.

…. gets out, how long before Dump or some of his simpering sycophant's start claiming that this protest movement is some sort of Democratic plot to make Dump look bad. You know damned well that one or more of his brigade of trolls, if not the high troll himself, will start floating some conspiracy theory along this line soon. It's what they do.

And a need for a reminder of some "interference" in times past:

1. Nixon had something going on with Henry K about a "secret" peace agreement with the North Koreans - PEACE WAS AT HAND! - and on went the Vietnam mess.
2. Jimmy Carter TRIED to end the mess with the hostages held in Iraq - alas, to no avail. Amazingly enough, on the day of Ronny Raygun's election - the hostages were released - on the day of his inauguration.

Just sayin' - politics ain't pretty - and with the pit bull in office right now - we're in for a tough road ahead until January 20!

I was so relieved. I knew he would be a voice of comfort and compassion. When you can sit with a person who has suffered great loss and not make it about you...it’s a sign that you’ve done your work. We are going through some hard times and will go through more...I’m thankful that Joe is our nominee. He can walk with us through this mess.

I was grateful to read that Joe Biden had called the George Floyd Family, too. I know personally how it helps to have people care about you and call to give you comfort when you've lost a loved one.

I just saw this vid from Robert De Niro & am in tears.. All of America needs to see this.. The shocking brutality of the some of the police has been going on for way too long.
