barbtries's JournalI watch a lot of youtube videos.
I'm watching a crime show and an ad just came up. "Should Hillary finally be brought to justice?" it said.
This is what I mean when I say that we are being swallowed whole by propaganda. WTAF.
Democratic National Convention.
just wrapped up the first evening. I cried, I clapped, I felt hope.
and optimism even. Anyone else?
Trump pulling troops out of Germany
https://www.forbes.com/sites/alasdairlane/2020/06/16/trumps-plan-to-pull-us-troops-out-of-germany-explained/#751189457c7aHe's saying it's to save money. I think it's so he has more soldiers here to attack peaceful protesters. Trump has never made much of a secret of his desire to be a brutal strongman dictator.
Now I read he's deploying the NATIONAL GUARD for his fucking rally. for his hitleresque, deadly fucking rally.
I think my BP just inched up a few notches and as I write I'm in the virtual waiting room for my doctor appointment.
thoughts? Sometimes I fear I'm going over the edge of paranoia, but I never conceived of how bad he is even though I knew he would be a catastrophe as president. Stealing babies, caging them (now they're poisoning them with disinfectant), alienating every single ally we have, the corruption and the way it continues unstopped. No, I didn't know it would be this bad.
Anyhow. talk me down if you can, or tell me I'm not crazy. Thanks DU

Ellison News Conference
And I'm wondering if they could not charge him with 1st degree murder and give the jury an option to convict on 2nd degree?
I'm not a lawyer, I don't live in MN but anyone with any kind of expertise in this area if you have an answer, thank you.
to my mind it's a first degree murder and i feel unsatisfied with a 2nd degree charge.
Part of the BLM protest in NYC you won't see on the news
https://twitter.com/JoshuaPotash/status/1268267087488827398you know what's giving me hope today? All the white protesters. This may be a watershed.
not that I'm not crying every single day. This video made me cry too.
Seattle mayor acknowledges white disruptors
https://twitter.com/MayorJenny/status/1267244230730113024I want to acknowledge that much of the violence and destruction, both here in Seattle and across the country, has been instigated and perpetuated by white men.
In all my 64 years,
I had 2 friends since birth. Since the day I was born they were in my life. We all lived on the same street in Torrance CA. One of my 2 lifelong friends died 3 years ago. The other one has just now decided to be active on fb.
We're having a fight.
How dare I criticize Trump, no one else has had to deal with what he has. Hillary is a bitch.
I'm just venting. I have had to work pretty hard even before this to maintain this friendship, but we love each other because we've known each other forever. We know each other's history like few others. We have been through some shit together. However, she's a die hard racist (who won't admit it) and for some reason I cannot fathom is apparently a fan of trump.
No worries though; she has never voted and swears she never will. I usually shut her up with that observation, but I may have to just delete her BS on fb. She lives in a different state and it's not unusual to go months without talking. it's just that when we do talk, it's like no time passed at all, because we have known each other forever. you know?
i don't want advice. i just wanted to share that my heart is breaking slightly right now.
