On FB today, I saw an article about a demonstration against the selling of the confederate war flag at a county fair. That fair is being held in the town where the cowards that attacked my nephew came from. I said that I wished I had been invited to speak, and a fellow I don't know linked to this OP.

It's also the birthday of one of my cousins, who was murdered in the 1980s over a half-ounce of pot. I spent some time talking with his younger brother.

Strange day, strange times. While I'm in favor of impeachment, I am encouraged that some in Congress -- from both parties -- are beginning to discuss Amendment 25, though behind the scenes. There is an awareness that removing Trump, either way, will result in the ku klux klowns- nazis to engage in more violent attacks against society. Pin heads like Roger Stone are encouraging this shit. And it appeals to unstable thugs like the idiot who drove his car into the crowd. And there are lots of them.
