Truly, as Thom Hartmann has written we need to see the wounded and the bodies of the children. Until then the prayers people will never shut up. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He campaigned that the fed gov't was not the solution but the problem. When he left office, 8 yrs later, there were more fed employees than his first day in office. Does anyone think that Trump's Exec Orders will last 30 minutes when the next Pres takes office? Jerry Baumchen It doesn’t matter. The damage has been done. The current administration has basically shit canned a ton of institutional knowledge and experience. The government workers who are left are miserable, which I suppose is the point. We have lost so much already. What we had took decades to build. The next administration, whomever has control, is so screwed, as we all are with them. And given the attention span of the current electorate, the next administration will get blamed for it all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In other countries you mush show diseased mouths and missing throats on cigarette packages. Heaven forbid the clean and antiseptic messaging of mere numbers of dead, wounded children be expanded to show the truth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
