And what happened on Bush*s Watch is what really scared me witless and the reason I ended up here on DU. 
And I'm not sure which period of time has scared me worse...
...in the oughts I was scared about the military violence and the safety of the World.
Since 2016, I am scared for Our Country and Our Democracy.
Thank the Goddess for DU.
Between a POTUS who did nothing except possibly spread discord and hate, accompanied by a global pandemic which was initially ignored in this country, these have been frightening times. But, thanks to DU, at least I've known the facts.
what they did to Al Gore.
I hadn't watched it before the 2000 election.. I was off on Kauai for the 1st time.. battling the aftermath of Hurricane Iniki in '92.
When I moved to upper state New York I get my first taste fo the what the US so called "media" was like. I was going crazy!
That's why I got a computer in 2002.. to join DU & get some real news.
damn heads Off about Al Gore & pumped up the weak candidate bush.. trying to Blame Gore for bush's DUI record coming out in Maine.
Then there was fucking Nader with his "Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee" meme. Nader was Dum & Dee.
And, of course bloody Susan Sarandon.
