I agree stop the American Carnage

The empty factories - stop the use of automation in AMerica
An educational system “flush with cash” fails our beautiful children. Total BS>

Today in America we will have to fact check an inaugural address.

I posted this in another thread earlier this morning. Repost. Better than the video of the article.

Why did Trump use two bibles? Does he think “more bibles, better guidance from god?”

He’s like a guy who thinks more cologne or perfume the better . . .

If, of all words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are, “It might have been,”
Sadder are these, we daily see:
“It is, but hadn’t ought to be.”
– Bret Harte, “Mrs. Judge Jenkins,” 1867

You might want to print this out and tack it up on your bulletin board or embroider a sampler with this on it. You will get quite a bit of use out of it in the near future.

Fire insurance? So that if the first one bursts into flame, which he obviously expected, he’d have a back-up?

Or maybe one of them was one of these.
