47. But how many will suffer while it is being rebuilt

Mon Mar 6, 2017, 07:35 PM

Mar 2017

The children of immigrants snatched away from their parents for indeterminate amounts of time. The increase in hate crimes and bullying that is just going to get worse when we have a president who encourages it. The destruction of habitat and acceleration of global climate change. The erosion of educational quality as public money is shoveled into private school pockets.

We can rebuild - but we should NOT have to. We should have had a qualified president who cared about people, about this country and about the world. What we ended up with is vile, disgusting and hate-filled.
