Weddings, hospitals, refugees on trains, hospitals, Children, civilians, Pat Tilliman.
Victims of war - life taken by collateral damage, accepted by military in times of war.
The war on Americans of African decent, or any other decent that is characterized by dark skin color continues.
Businesses have become collateral damage of this war. As long as the war continues, understand there will be collateral damage. Such is the way of war.
Biden - spectacular speech! Not hyperbole- Truth To Power!
Go Biden!
The America We Can Be!
Basta! Enough! I intend to push back on the sanctimonious hit and run "riot" comments.
From neighbors, family, whom ever engages in eye rolling on this topic.

A quick roundup of things to say to Saltine Americans clutching their pearls over rioting and looting:
1) “Rioting never solves anything!”
This country was founded on rioting (and looting). The colonists didn’t politely ask to be independent — they started a war. Gays threw a brick. Black people rioted all over this country. Please let go of that falsehood and pick up a history book.
2) “Rioting just gives people a reason not to support your cause.”
Only if you equate property damage to human lives, and in that case, were you really supporting our cause anyway? If all it takes is people stealing from Target for you to say “well…now I don’t care about dead Black people” then why are we even speaking?

This explains why November could be in jeopardy.
While I appreciate so much more can happen to change supporters minds, he is in campaign mode every day he holds his briefing. Media is playing into his hands.

He is the new Houdini. His entire life he has been an escape artist.
“He’s a magician that way. Other people would stop and recognize that they were defeated. Or that they should be shamed. He refuses.”
Jennifer Mercieca, a professor at Texas A&M University and the author of the forthcoming Demagogue for President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump
Attention can be good or bad, but a central gambit of the life of Trump is that that’s actually not true. That it’s all good. That attention is power. That if you’re watching, he’s winning.
“Anybody who studies him and studies the nature of power and propaganda when melded together should understand that this is not going to be easy,” veteran Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf said of his party’s shot to make Trump a one-term president.

For the love of God, Dr Birx turn around and walk off. You are too educated to be a prop!
standing there you validate his lies!
Believe it. This is worse than the 1929 stock market crash.
Our 401k now has less than we invested. We are near 80.
We are sick at the
meaningful loss of our lifes’s savings and work.
I support the Democrats hanging tough and hanging together re the Coronavirus Stimulus Bill.
It would be a tragedy of epic proportions if the GOP steamrolls the bill to benefit anything other than benefiting directly to the people.
McConnell’s reign must be stopped. NOW.
Why is the concept of "we over me" so challenging for some? I've read very snarky and
quite frankly, ignorant FB postings from family members. Verbal eye rolling about precautionary measures.
I am A FB coward. I read, lurk and rarely post but don’t have the courage to cancel.
