I just blocked an Insane Right winger

on Twitter. She was saying JUST HOW GREAT it would be to NUKE North Korea and destroy their entire population. She is hoping Trump will KILL the "yellow bastards" ... this from a woman who
thinks that RUSSIA is America's greatest ally..


WTF is with these people? Is this really AMERICA, or are we too far gone?? I won't repost her message to me...because of the words she chose to use, regarding my Asianess.... yeah SHE PROBABLY thinks all Asians in America are North Korean spies....

Maybe they're too young to remember the horrors of war that filled our TV screens back then. Surely they've seen the gruesome pictures of the survivors and the dead from Hiroshima from their history textbooks? No one has missed the death and destruction that has ravaged Afghanistan and Iraq.

Given all that, why would any sane human being want to bring on another war and the possibility that two impulsive, immature, self-centered lunatics might start a pissing contest with nukes?

Some of these people have underlying problems and they take it out on others. I have relatives like that. They are frustrated with their lives and so the answer is to beat up on other people especially if they look different. It is sad really. Others are just plain jerks.

It's the first time I've ever had to do that despite some of the idiotic drivel I've seen over there. It wasn't anyone I'm close to, just a former co-worker but it depresses me.

He was carrying on about how we wouldn't be in this mess with Korea if Obama wasn't such a weak leader. Pretty common stuff for a right winger but I guess I'm just having a bad day and I lost it.

It was a horrific, simple-minded, bigoted, Kochsucking, Fox-PAC fantasy. The only thing it accomplished was to destabilize the entire Middle East.

Now we've got this narcissistic, crazy ass orange Mussolini-wannabe who only cares about his "numbers" & a Republican party that appears to be just fine with it. History--if we survive this--will NOT be kind to any of these treasonous assholes. BTW, I don't know how many Cult45ers or Russian bots I've blocked on Twitter. Their unflappable devotion to Twitler is alarming and it scares the hell out of me.

I loved growing up in a basically a Chinese Neighborhood... I wasn't hated because I was of Japanese decent. What I do regret is my parents not wanting to go back to Hawaii to visit their family, I might have ended up staying there, but they wanted me here in California to go though the California school system and with my feet planted firmly on the mainland. I traveled quite a bit and been to at least 30 states.. but never Hawaii.. don't know why I didn't go there...but I fell in love with Tahiti... so I probably should go there. Another place I would love to visit is Saipan,... its US territory so I don't need a passport... but I hear its a hella long flight...more than the 9 hours it took to land in Tahiti. Its not even as commercial as Hawaii..but it belongs to us..If I only had the cash to do so...

No sense is pointing out their flawed thinking because they will ignore all logic and reason.
