calimary's JournalThat's STILL MY President. SHE'S still MY President.
The so-called title-holder is in that office ILLEGITIMATELY. And frankly that becomes more painfully obvious by the hour.
Although that other video that surfaced late yesterday showed what looks like TWO
officers, maybe three, "securing" George Floyd on the ground.
I think the lead officer there, with the knee most directly on Floyd's neck, is the one who's been taken into custody. But there's another officer closely at his right side, down in what looks like the same position as the lead officer, "restraining" George Floyd - who was HANDCUFFED, and already VERY well immobilized, on his stomach, and at least appearing as though he was ABSOLUTELY NO threat to the officers, much less to anybody else nearby.
And in the video, it looks like they are KILLING him. All three of those officers, AND the fourth one who remained standing, looking around (and allowing what very much looks like a murder) go forward. They ALL should be in custody.
GOOD.
I wish they'd flag EVERY divisive, deceitful, attempted-distraction post of his.
The other game I play with myself (aside from the "if I ran MSNBC" game) is the "if I were President" game. I would have the Twitter people come to that first lunch after the inauguration and tell them I've just declared donald trump a threat to national security and I want his Twitter account TAKEN DOWN. PERMANENTLY.
I'm holding off trusting him completely, however I'd MUCH rather have him fighting with us
than against us.
Maybe it's just one of those "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" kinds of things.
Welcome to DU, NellieStarbuck!
I like her, too. I do like her show.
She seems like one of the most reasonable of the recent refugees from the GOP, and one of the most genuine in a change-of-heart. But with everybody who says they used to vote republi-CON, or maybe are just anti-trumpers, I'm not running toward them with arms wide open and/or guard all the way down. MAYBE she's one who's had a real conversion. I hope so. It often sounds like it. But old affiliations die hard.
Well, screw it. I can yell, TOO!!!

I didn't see anything new til 8:03pm, and only the domestic figures.
Confirmed cases US -1,726,174
Deaths US - 101,961
We're almost at 102-thousand deaths in this country. We certainly will have gotten to that total by morning.
Every number is someone who died - and has a mother or other loved one who is or has been crying.
