A Democratic Presidential candidate with a “normal” Republican as Vice Presidential candidate to defeat tRump and his band of insane followers!!!!!! That could be something to block tRump getting in again. Kind of interesting.

I turn it on with the button on the back of the screen, it comes on with the little Apple icon, is on for about 5 sec then goes to black. I think it’s dead.

Well this sucks......Dr. sued tRump, now losing his job

A Tennessee doctor who became a social media sensation because of statements on President Trump, racism and Colin Kaepernick — and who later sued the president over First Amendment rights — is losing his job at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Eugene Gu, 32, a Vanderbilt surgery resident, said Friday that Nashville's biggest hospital is ending his five-year residency after only three years.

Technically, Vanderbilt has decided not to renew his contract with the hospital, Gu said, but he argues the effect is “no different than being fired."
“The take-home message here is that there is an unwritten rule for surgical residents and that rule is, always make your program look good and always make your hospital look good, and often that means stay silent,” Gu said. “But as an Asian-American physician, unlike a white doctor, I don’t always have the same luxury to stay silent."

Vanderbilt said in an email statement Friday that the decision not to renew Gu's contract was not a result of his criticism of Trump, his lawsuit, or his public opposition to racism. The hospital has said previously that all disciplinary actions against Gu relate to his work performance and professionalism.
