“He did what he said he would.”

What’s that? Throw children in concentration camps? Screw American farmers with his “dealmaking” with the tariffs? Throw people off medical coverage? Allowing corporations to ruin the ecosystem? Allow oil drilling in the National parks? Roll back any oversight on polluters?

Really next door. Our townhome units are glued together. ☺ I have to give her a pass bc she got cancer last year.

I ask God to forgive me, but I limit my visiting time with her. She started the other day if a Dem gets elected, here comes socialism. My chest started to tighten. I said that's not necessarily the case. She has prolly Fuchs TV on. I can't go in her place when it's on. Plus she gets the ole brainwashing at her church community. Using the pulpit, not for holy talk, but for spreading political propaganda. In my Faith practice, that's anathema! I said what about when Obama was in, was that so bad? She goes, I don't know, I didn't vote for him.

I apologized for not seeing her often enuff [bc of my current state of stress]. I just can't be in her company much and I do feel badly.

It's not selfish. I need to preserve my bearings and well-being [what's left].

Surely people in her congregation are caring for her. If she were really in need and no one except you were around, I think you probably would. Consider yourself lucky that isn’t the case.

and the topic went to healthcare coverage. I mentioned that there was talk again of Medicare benefits being tampered with and the PTB would love doing away with it. She did show worry about what I related.

I'm no brainiac, but I just can't abide people who for whatever reasons either deliberate or not have blinders on.

The neighbor next to her in one of those two units is Independent and I can speak freely with her. I told her about DU.

First, he said "somebody" -- not "somebody else"

Also, he said nobody would care

So --- who could he actually shoot on Fifth Ave that nobody would care he shot?

I'm just really not seeing many possibilities there

On Michael Savage’s radio program on Monday, a caller named Susan dialed in to defend the president’s actions. “He’s said worse things than that, and he’s not a racist,” she said.
