I am tired of having to fall into the cesspool of #Trump Sewer to get to the other things that interest me. I need a place where I can make and read comments from others. I want to stay informed and I stay as positive as I can. Tripping over #TrumpSewer holds me in a state of outrage. Especially because of his role in:
* creating $555 billion in new tariffs,
* offsetting the effect of those tariffs with $8.4 billion in new taxpayer-funded assistance to farmers,
* persisting in his presidential desire to withdraw from NATO as he talks of a full withdrawal from Afghanistan,
* increasingly warm public praise of Kim Jong-un,
* banning Muslims with an Executive Ordered in spite of 1)“terrorist-inspired” attacks come from homegrown violent extremists,
2) screening and vetting procedures used since 9/11 merit suspension of entire categories of travelers,
3) little has changed in violent action because of Trump's rants to blame Muslims for the violent action occurring in our society,
"I served as the Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Counter terrorism and Threat Prevention, and my job was to help keep Americans safe from terrorist attacks. My time in office coincided with a dramatic rise in white nationalist violence, but my colleagues and I couldn’t get the president to help address the problem. At the debate, America saw what I saw in the administration: President Trump refuses to distance himself from white nationalists. I realized after watching the White House response to the terrorist attack in El Paso that his rhetoric was a recruitment tool for violent extremist groups. The president bears some responsibility for the deaths of Americans at the hands of these violent extremists."

New documents reveal Trump and Kushner are ‘major beneficiaries’ of pandemic loan program
Newly released documents show that businesses with addresses at properties owned by President Donald Trump and the family of son-in-law Jared Kushner raked in millions of dollars from a program intended to save American jobs during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
NBC News reports that businesses at properties owned by the Trump Organization or Kushner Companies received $3.65 million worth of loans from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which was passed by Congress earlier this year during the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States.
One loan that is certain to raise eyebrows was a $2.2 million loan to the Triomphe Restaurant Corp., which is located at Trump Tower in New York and which subsequently closed without using the money to save a single job.
TAKE THE POLL: Will you take a coronavirus vaccine when it's available?
In addition to that, NBC News found that “two tenants at 725 5th Avenue, Trump Tower, received more than $100,000 and kept only three jobs” and that “four tenants at the Kushner-owned 666 5th Avenue combined received more than $204,000, and retained only six jobs.”
On top of all that 15 of the businesses on Trump and Kushner properties that took loans reported saving one job or fewer, or didn’t even both reporting a jobs saved number..........................................
With typing my words out, I can check it before hitting the button, & make changes if I want to.
It's like writing a letter. The space allows one to freely express themselves & think over what they want to say. This is so different from face to face conversation where facial expressions matter a lot
Mrs. B., I love your concept; it has a visual element to it as well as a visceral component. #TrumpSnailSnot. Good job!
I agree; your vocabulary is fine and communicates your thoughts and feelings.
Well I'm as boring as they come. I feel I can be more myself online for some reason, as the awkward discomfort is not there.
I, too, don't like crowds. People generally bore me too fast.
Thank you, sir, but that's online. In person, I'd rather be the listening wallflower as I get tongue-tied, mess up words, & am very uncomfortable around most people. If I find myself among too many people, I'll be in a corner somewhere with a wall behind me.
And....oddly many think, I don't like talking, female or not....hahahaha.
Pat, you can't say you are not a people person and from the first contact with you i found you so likeable and easy. And as for communication, you do so quite clearly and concisely. And as long as I am not writing an academic people, i will go for being understood and not necessarily proper grammar, grammar nazis be damned.
You all write clear language, and I'm more focussed on your ideas than on spelling and punctuation. I worked as a sales girl until my health collapsed. Did a lot of reading and completed teacher training college when I was 34. Like Mrs. B, I don't fit in easily and benefit from internet contacts.
Davy I feel as long as you can make yourself understood all's good.
