Jitter65's JournalThey're back!! MSNBC...hope against hope that Trump is "changing." They are pulling for him.
Have to turn it off. Joe is just too obvious.
One disturbing trend about immigration issue.
We are focused on Muslims and Mexican thanks to Trump. But there is a really sad situation that I have noticed here in the DC metro area (MD,VA,DC nexus). A lot of the intolerant talk about Muslims, Mexicans is from relatively new EU immigrants themselves (especially in my neighborhood Corner Bakery). Russian, French mostly. I speak a little French and familiar with basic Russian. While they use mostly broken English to express their disgust and I can pick up on some of their native tongue lashings.
I am beginning to see a infiltration of fascist talk and attitudes at the local YMCA (a great gathering place for our immigrant population). As an example, early in the morning I swim at the Y. There is a group of early swimmers..mostly French, Russian and Croat (I know because they say so--most here within the last 5 years and my guess is mostly diplomats). All is well until a few African Americans or come into the pool. They all make snide remarks and vacate the pool and head to the hot tub. There are two Hispanic swimming instructors who hold classes for children in one of the pools. They all have avoided signing up their tots with them and have made one huge tot class for one of the white male instructors. When his class reached maximum they opted for later time classes.
I don't know, maybe I am being over sensitive but it leaves me feeling disturbed. I sure hope that the fascists-learners from abroad are not making our communities less tolerant. The area i live in has for the past 40 years has been very progressive and socially and economically diverse. I don't like the changes I am seeing.
I just really wonder how Bernie supporters feel when they watch Hillary's speech and her
compliments of him and his campaign and then watch how they responded when Bernie mentioned Hillary? It's not even about political correctness. It's about civility and decency.
North Dakota proves that caucuses are a blight on democracy. Shameful turnout.
But caucuses make it very difficult to GOTV. I hope the DNC does away with them.
Really, people complaining about Comcast hosting Democratic convention?
If Habitat for Humanity hosted it the same people would complain that they would be wasting money for the homeless.
Get a life people. You get sponsors who can afford to sponsor.
OK, in an effort to make peace among us. I was listening to my country station...love me
some country music. It speaks to life honestly.
Don't know it could be done or even if the musicians would let it be done but this struct me as a song to bring Sanders and Clinton folks together. I made up some words to fit the music. The first verse of my words is posted. i will post the second verse only if requested to do so.
It was seven hundred
fence posts
from your place and ours
None of us
was bold enough
to extend a hand
Sometimes it was raining
Sometimes it would shine
We wore out that competitive road
Between your place and mine
I’d start walking your way
You’d start walking mine
We’d meet in the middle
‘Neath that old Donkey sign
We’d gain a lot of ground
Cause we’d both give a little.
And there ain’t no road too long
When we meet in the middle.
