I'm willing to forgive and forget

I'm willing to forgive and forget for most of these Republicans if they force Trump out and do everything needed to root out white supremacists and significantly tone down rhetoric. This shit needs to be shut down now. Maybe not popular opinion but we can't take revenge om establishment Republicans

That’s what I learned early on after moving south of the Mason Dixon line decades ago.

Traitors once, traitors forever and to let this pass is to give a pass to more and future problems.

do everything needed to root out white supremacists


They won't do this, so no need for the mental exercise. Cheers.

You can forgive someone while taking them to court for everything they own and to take away their freedom.

Never forget. Forgiveness is a good thing, to let the victim let go. But never forget.

Forgive to free yourself so you can better prosecute criminals for deterrent effect.
