My FB feed is strangely silent

When a police shooting with multiple fatalities happens it's usually filled with pro cop posts,Anti BLM,and anti Kaepernick especially when the shooter is black. The one in Iowa? Not a word..probably because the shooter is a white racist. They only care when the shooter is black.

its a cesspool of human idiocy to begin with, and losing the election next week isnt going to make it better.

But yeah, your point is well taken. They dont give a fuck about caring about cops, only hating about non-white.

mine is quite rife with beautiful pictures of family and kids of friends, lots of shared news stories of interest (both local and international), and some funny comedic touches. Oh, and surprisingly most of my friends are Cubs fans. (I grew up in NJ, went to school in Boston, and now live in NYC, so that's interesting!)

There is a family Trump supporter who shares pro-Trump views, but I've managed to hide her posts until after the election is over.

Nothing too cesspool filled.

My feed is usually full of friends who aren't political-babies etc. I also follow a dog rescue page as well.
