^ And where is the leadership on dealing with the actual problem at hand in Minnesota? Black people are being murdered by the police and his priority is looting, instead of addressing the underlying issue.  Sure, he can't control the police, that's a city and state issue, but POTUS could be a moral leader. I mean, not this POTUS obviously, but someone actually fit for the position. I should be used to the naked injustice coming from the very top of our government, but there are some days I'm still astounded that he is this bad and so many people are just going along with it.

Notice that he never threatened to bring in the national guard when white people stormed the Michigan state house? Also notice that when reports of black people rioting surface, you NEVER see people calling it "Fake news". I wonder why that is?

Yes, she's getting far too old for her tight sweaters and portruding nipples to sway Republican viewers.

People truly are fed up. The deaths keep happening, over and over and over and over and all people did was criticize peaceful protesting because protesters 'took a knee' and it made some folks uncomfortable. Well, now a man has died after 'taking a knee' to his throat.

Trump is exactly the worst possible person to sit up in the White House in this type of combustible situation. The. Worst.

You have Bernie bros trying to give his "movement" credit for the protests, you have Trump riling up his base by saying protesters should be shot, you have longtime Trump supporter Van Jones going on cable news trying to divert people away from the matter by saying Hillary voters are the real racists - yet again the real issues are being ignored and everything is being spun in a way which will help Trump. It's sickening. 

 

I saw that some have identified the man who was smashing windows at the Autozone as a cop in plainclothes, but I don't think it's been confirmed yet so I didn't want to link to the tweets.

As a Black man, I am EXHAUSTED with how our state and local governments continue to ignore the issues.  My fellow Black men and women stay getting murdered by law enforcement officers and/or mishandled by the (in)justice system, and hardly anyone gives a [!@#$%^&*].  They're all just hoping we'll die out (sooner, rather than later) so they can have their precious, all-white nation to themselves.

 

 

They were too busy enjoying their Confederate flag sheet cake at Jennifer's trailer.

*HUGS*

 

I already said this was going to be a long day. And that was BEFORE the arrest of the black reporter who was just reporting, Trump's meltdown over Twitter censoring him, and that shooting at that one protest.

 

To think, today is my first day back at my main job and I really don't want to go out my door.

 

Just scared, tired, and angry.

Well, it's about damn time social media did something to censor that man!  His quackpot ideas about handling the coronavirus were and are literally getting innocent people killed.  I'm just sorry we now live in a time when we have to regard our commander-in-chief the same way we would a troll on SON.

Which is why I don't exactly feel sorry for those who are hurting now because they have endorsed and/or continue to endorse Trump.  They knew damn well who and what he was when they voted for him; they just wanted to forget/ignore/erase President Ooga Booga.  I'm only sorry for the rest of us who have to suffer alongside them.

 

 

Maybe I'm wrong, but I can't shake the feeling that officer in particular was making an "ironic" statement against Colin Kaepernick when he did that.  Like Mike Pompeo and his son posting their "pinky promise" on Twitter in response to Elizabeth Warren's campaign.

    • Yes, I said some stupid things but I did not act on them.
    • I believe Jagger said Stone was in an assisted living community and thriving.  So Jagger wasn't exactly a part of his day-to-day life.  We know absolutely nothing about Stone's mother besides that it's not Karen, so it's possible she's more involved.  On Nightshift it did seem like he was the main caregiver though.
    • And, in fact, that is exactly what I did do, offered a sincere apology, and a year went by without it happening again & during that time I paid an unbelievably high price. And, during that time I did not speak of it. I did not offer a defense. I just took my lumps. I had been too upset to discuss it. I believed that I would not be believed. And, now I have finally made one statement & your interpretation of my actions is that I come back with excuses, defenses & distortions - whatever the heck that means - and, yes, some people choose not to believe me when I have been nothing but truthful ... forever.  So, your statement that all I needed to do was apologize, sorry, not what happened. 
    • I wonder what happened to Jagger's son?  BTW, did Jagger ever go back to the Bay Area to see his son the entire time he lived in Port Charles?
    • Just because Taggert is so anti Sonny I don't see that working for Lois. I agree with all this.   I still thought Harrington was decent.  He was just completely wrong for the role.  Weirdly being hung up on Karen and Stone was a strange choice too.  They've been dead for years and years and he wasn't married to Karen when she died in a car accident and didn't even show up to Stone's funeral.   Correct and Donna is acting like she didn't PM people like me this info about Drake months before he passed away. 
    • Wagger was so bizarre. I still don't care about that dude and I knew what would happen to him from the beginning. But it is crazy they pretend like it didn't matter Sonny stone cold killed a fed. I'm sure they will pick it up in a year or two to try to save face and make it important for some other plot point, like how they forgot all about Austin, Nikolas shooting Hayden and letting Shawn take the fall, etc. He was mediocre and folks acted like he was Douglass Watson because of that one Mulcahey speech! The answer here is the same one to anyone who is familiar with Donna from BITD: She implicitly believes she unofficially works here and has a position of authority in fandom. She does not.
    • I would much rather see Lois with someone young and exciting over being with Taggert.  Rick Webber Jr or have a scandalous affair with Dillon Quartermaine.  Tracy would lose her mind.
    • Well, of course, it's unlikely. But in the what-if fantasy world, I wonder if the actors/characters would work well together.
    • I was thinking at some point down the line the show might bring Stone Jr. (2.0?) to PC and avenge his father's unsolved murder or something. I don't know who that Jagger was either.  Strange casting.  The actor was all wrong for the part even if I thought Adam Harrington could act.
