It doesn’t matter who is under investigation, when they still get to RUN ELECTIONS.

With little exception. We keep watching it happen and no one is doing anything.

I feel awful, depressed, frustrated, angry.

I can't read the news.

The fascist Christians have won. They have crippled enough of the judiciary, bribed or stolen enough of the electoral officials in key states, placed many hate-filled people into local, state and federal officers.....that the tipping point is on a knife's edge and the knife will cut the country .

It will be a mortal wound. Fifty years or less this democracy will end.

Evil, money, hate wins because many people are evil, greedy and hateful.

The good people are few. Perhaps we will survive in a few states.

what you say too. Evil money does not always win. Yes, many people are greedy and hateful.

But the good people are NOT FEW.

The evil people make the most noise, but the good people are many and will win in the end.
Who expected Bill Clinton to win?
Here is Joe Biden one of the best, most experienced caring law makers & people in the world.
Sometimes it looks very bad, but isn't that bad.
So many examples of the good wining over the "Very BAD."

1. Who won the Civil War?
2. Who won World War II?
3. Who won the last election?
4. Did an Afro-American win an election for President in the United States?
5. Is the pandemic over?
6. Most political strategists believe that Trump cannot win any election ever. (He is a crook)
7. Are we mostly a caring nation? (most of us)
8. Do we as a nation have many programs to help those that need help?
9. Have we come a long way in terms of helping the needy?
10 How many more examples of fine things we have done that will NOT end this democracy?
11. How many more postitive aspects of the U.S. can be named right now?
