[kj] OT: Trump

[GREG SLAWSON]

Living in the US right now is living during wartime. I have to check in with my Latino students weekly to see if any family members have died. The virus is spreading like wildfire, mostly due to intentional genocide by Dump (the death rate is several times higher for ppl of color). There are mass suicides, including of doctors, who cannot face reality anymore. The economy is in ruins. Mental illness and domestic abuse have exploded. Cops are beating, killing, and torturing men, women, and children in the streets and even in their homes. The hope is that more and more people hate fascism and are trying to defeat it.

No, in fact considering what we know now, you were very restrained in your remarks.
Even now, when I hear some of the shit out of his mouth, I think this is some sort of joke or exaggeration. Hard to believe this is the leader of the so called free world!
Our own leaders are no better, whether it is Bojo the clown or our own queen Leo, but Trump is out there in a league of his own ...lol

Hope all are keeping well? All good here. Fourth grandchild arrived a few weeks back. I've progressed from seeing her through a window, to being allowed in the same garden as her, but I'll get to hold her yet : )

MCD/Ticketmaster, eventually had to relent and cancel the KJ show that was to be June 12th. The writing was on the wall for that, pretty much from day one, but one had to have some hope ...lol Hopefully next year, but I've a feeling gigs will never be the same again : (

Some of you might remember some spirited exchanges back in 2016, when I roundly denounced Trump, and I was quite astonished that I got a fair amount of pushback from certain quarters of this group.

Well, let me just emphatically reiterate once again…

I WASN’T FUCKING WRONG, WAS I.
