16. Lol, "Mr. President, do you regret all the lying you've done
Fri Aug 14, 2020, 07:41 AM

to the American people"?

Mr. President: "Next." (Hell, no! It's been working extremely well.)

Mica's Outrage: He refused to answer the question!



Seriously, America has to wake up to the grave danger from Trump and the Republicans, and they're doing their best. Every morning.

Grudge is the wrong word, Mad. Same as those of one of our own candidates, our actions reveal our inner selves. Smart, responsible people should only forget their role in electing Trump/McConnell and cabal, and thus the kind of choices they're capable of in future, when they're dead, or drooling in a SNF.

Forgiveness is impossible now, but something to work on in decades to come as memories of our dead fade and devastation of nation and lives is repaired.

But, as you indicate, like our former candidate, what they're doing now is extremely valuable. IF we're able to recover from what they've done, it'll only be because they and millions of culpable others have joined us to try to undo the disaster they've brought down on us, and the entire planet.
