@ToddKIL We don't blame Trump for covid. We blame him for his dismal response.
Just as this, with the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. We don't blame Biden or mayor Pete. We will judge them on their response.
That's how normal ppl operate.
@bigredsibin I’m so sorry Red. I felt the same way when my sister passed. You will draw deep and be able to make it through the day. My deepest condolences.
I seem to remember House Republicans booing the President when he (rightly) accused them of wanting to attack Social Security just two weeks ago.
Absolutely no one should be surprised that yesterday nearly 80% of House Republicans put out a plan to cut Social Security benefits.
If Joe Biden said there would be a “bloodbath” if he didn’t get elected, Republicans would impeach him so fast our heads would spin.

This is not original. I actually found it on Facebook, but I think it’s worth sharing.
“What the hell did you expect me to do?
You told me to love my neighbors, to model the life of Jesus. To be kind and considerate, and to stand up for the bullied.
You told me to love people, consider others as more important than myself. "Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight." We sang it together, pressing the volume pedal and leaning our hearts into the chorus.
You told me to love my enemies, to even do good to those who wish for bad things. You told me to never "hate" anyone and to always find ways to encourage people.
You told me it's better to give than receive, to be last instead of first.
You told me that Jesus looks at what I do for the least-of-these as the true depth of my faith. You told me to focus on my own sin and not to judge. You told me to be accepting and forgiving.
I payed attention.
I took every lesson.
And I did what you told me.
But now, you call me a libtard. A queer-lover.
You call me "woke." A backslider.
You call me a heretic. A child of the devil.😈
You call me soft. A snowflake. A socialist.
What the hell did you expect me to do?
I thought you were serious, apparently not.
We were once friends. But now, the lines have been drawn. You hate nearly all the people I love. You stand against nearly all the things I stand for. I'm trying to see a way forward, but it's hard when I survey all the hurt, harm, and darkness that comes in the wake of your beliefs and presence.
What the hell did you expect me to do?
I believed it all the way.
I'm still believing it all the way.
Which leaves me wondering, what happened to you?

Grace is brave. Be brave.

Do not let the Katie Britt news cycle die. Keep repeating it until it’s seared into everyone’s memories. Repeat it the way Trump repeats “build the wall” and “lock her up.” Repeat it until the whole country knows that all the Republicans have are lies and fear mongering.
A man was found guilty in a court of law of sexually assaulting a woman and then repeatedly defaming her.
Many of you are planning on voting for him for president.
What exactly is wrong with you?
