To the majority of cops---the good ones:

I have personally known several of you. I liked and respected you and I believe that was reciprocated. But, some of the people wearing that same badge you wear are mean assholes.

Some are---yes---racists.

Some are sexist jerks.

Some are Rambo wannabes.

And, some became cops because they like to hurt people.

These people think "To Serve and Protect" is just that silly-ass slogan painted on their car.

These people think of themselves as "warriors" and that makes most of their community "the enemy".

These people tarnish the star YOU wear.

You know "legal" and "right" and "fair" and you know that common sense is just as important a law enforcement tool as your sidearm or taser.

Help us identify and replace these incompetents with others like you.

With a nod to "The Police"---Donald:----

"Every move you made
And every vow you broke
Every smile you faked, every claim you staked
WE WERE WATCHING YOU!"

Why the ridiculous Trump rally chants are a concern:

Does one really need to know anything more about Trump once they learn that

he chose Jason Miller as one of his "senior advisors"?

Are the recent "Trump Train" traffic incidents our current version of

"Kristallnacht"?

To hell with Godwin.

This man foresaw Trump: "Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises, for never

intending to go beyond promise, it costs nothing.” ~ Sir Edmund Burke.

Joe gave the best speech I have heard him give in Philly just now. How can anyone

not be enthusiastic about supporting him?

I find it difficult to comment on the knuckledraggers' attack on the Biden/Harris bus in Texas.

I know how I would have responded to being assaulted with a deadly weapon.

I know my response would have been considered "inappropriate".

I know that "fighting fire with fire" is considered "beneath us".

But, since we offered no response to the multiple assaults and Texas law enforcement did not respond and since Trump and his idiot son are digitally celebrating the criminal actions---does anyone believe this behavior will not escalate?

Let's all get our butter knives and reluctantly take part in the impending "gunfight".

That'll teach 'em!
