dreamland's JournalThese protests are not just about George Floyd
The people are angry. It's the burden of the day-to-day lies from leaders that have taken its toll. It's the fact that there is fake leadership. We are seeing government officials in their positions enriching themselves -they certainly have enough money to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. Companies got millions, possible trillions on bailouts but the people get a measly trickle of a thousand dollar which doesn't even cover rent and food. This protest is a fight back at the injustices. The rioters loot and burn because they are angry about the corporate greed. The masks we wear are only giving us strength to fight. We have George Floyd to thank for waking us up.
I'm sick to my stomach reading about Obamagate this morning
Now they have an ex-WH doctor, retired Navy some such perversion of morals man, tooting for the Impeached45. And they are pushing this false narrative with as many GOP backing as possible, ignoring the fact the Flynn pleaded guilty.
The Magats will only see the visual of this guy wearing a uniform. The Magats will only hear that Obama started some investigation of Flynn. They don't care what else. And to top it off Joe Rogan, a previous Sanders supporter, says he prefers to vote for Trump instead of Biden because Sanders lost?
What has this world come to?
Edited to fix grammar.
This is why the msm can't stop broadcasting his pressers
They have nothing else to report on. The msm has become so lazy and reliant on the orange pustule for their ratings, they've stopped looking for news. If they are want to give airtime to the pressers then they should just show a summary of the meetings. There's no need to show the entrance and the exits of this fat grimace. They're just hyping him for his followers, sheople who rely on visuals rather than listen to the words. I realize it's dangerous to go out these days but more interesting news would be was going on in the front lines and what some people are doing during this quarantine. Msm get a hint! I've so tune you off.
Proof this administration doesn't give a sh1t.
This was on a government website.
When healthcare personnel in the US was in need of PPE, this administration feels it was better to send it overseas.

tRUMP pressers are the new rallies, he's getting free media coverage
Is it any wonder how the orange-utan numbers are going up? He's doing exactly what he did for 2016, using the media to get exposure. It doesn't matter what comes out of his plughole, it's the image and presence that makes him look involved. We can't let him control the message. Why is the msm so gullible?
Just changed From undecided to Biden!
All along I kept hearing Biden doesn't excite but in the past two weeks, he's completely changed man. There were so many great candidates to choose from like a menu from A Greek diner, that it was too confusing to know what I want. Now that it's down to just two candidates, is such much simpler like choosing between a hamburger or a hot dog. I don't t like Sanders, I supported him in 2016 primaries but eventually voted for Hillary. Since then, Sanders has shown himself to be aligned with so many of the "bad" policies that I was starting to feel distant towards him. The very first was when he praised tRUMP for leaving the TPP, then there was the admiration giving when tRUMP met with Kim Jong Un. finally, he and Warren campaigned relentlessly in 2016, going their separate ways in 2020 but for two people whose ideology is supposedly progressively align, for Warren not to back him after she bowed out of the race is saying something. Sure Warren also didn't back Biden but Biden wasn't ever perceived as a progressive and Warren never developed a relationship with Biden like she did with Sanders while campaigning in 2016. I just wish that he now puts his efforts to supporting Biden and perhaps angle for a Secretary of State position instead. I think he'd be a better SoS.
We can turn that "OK" hate symbol back to be about inclusion
It's sad when a good symbolic gesture is turned into a hate symbol. Maybe if we start associating that OK with love and inclusion, it will not be an alt right hijack. What if we use that symbol to show our acceptance of LGBT and to say we are "one with LGBT"? The alt right never wants to be associated with that group and imo that's the strongest group against them. It would need to be done at a national level in order for it to work and to be widely advertised. It's terrible that all this is associated with Number One Idiot. I can't even use the thumbs up gesture either for the fact that he's used it so often. Sad.sad.sad.
Warren is not my candidate. She's too short-sighted.
I like Warren, I wanted her to be the VP nominee in 2016. She was especially good in her interviews when she went up against the Wall Street conglomerates but that’s where it ends.
A few years ago, when she and Bernie made headlines voting down the TPP, I was skeptical. Now 3 years later, we see the effects of this deal and how China has stepped in an reaped the benefits of what was proposed in the pact. Lately, she has been touting a new TPP, one that limits relations based on standards. This is forcing the hand of countries who either will not or cannot afford to, which could complicate trade relations more. This seems to be a case of “too little, too late”.
The other issues that has made me realize that she is not my nominee choice is Al Franken.
She has openly berated and call for his resignation and had evenly told him privately to do so. This man, had the intelligence and courage to speak up for us, was railroaded with unproven accusations by his fellow senators. To this day, I’m still angry that a child-molestor sits on our SC, while a man with a prank sits jobless, his reputation damaged, and without support of his peers.

Yes, hindsight is 20/20, but her short-sightedness means she’s not good at playing the long game.
She stands on high ideals, but in this real world we need a player who can see the outcome of their actions.
So it’s down to Pete or Joe.
This touchy feely Biden is a conspiracy
So far as I've read, Biden has been accused of being touchy. Most were the honest touch of compassion. You may not like him but that should not stop him from being human. Babies survive through touch, dogs need touch, and people too. Many are uncomfortable with touch, that is not the way they were raised. In my home, I grew up with little contacts (hugs) and my spouse's family hugs everyone they see. When I first encountered that, I was uneasy. I think more families are now growing without contact hugs and it is misinterpreted. I think many are completely oversensitive. How many were felt up and down? How many were confronted with sexual innuendos? A comforting hug, is a hug to help heal. A touch of foreheads, is an acknowledgement of one's pain. Too many are ready to railroad him and lose supporters by speaking out too soon. There will be much infighting even as a read it here in DU. I don't want Trump for 2020.
Wanted: last night's SNL closing song
Last night on SNL, I heard one of the best Christmas song of the season. Why can't I find it posted anywhere? Even on DU someone posted the opening and the news segment but not that closing. There are only two references I found on the internet about it.
The USA Today reported lightly about it. But Hollywood Reporter gave it a better coverage.
I just want to hear it again. No vids can be found. What gives? Too controversial to touch?
