It's really happening--the turd's own party is turning against him.

A long time friend (I hadn't seen in years, but reconnected with on FaceBook some years ago) turned out to be a Republican. I guess all things considered, I wasn't surprised.

As for me, I've been posting Democratic left posts from time to time for a while, but it's increased greatly in the past two years—especially in the past few months.

I saw post of his earlier in the year, saying he wished "people would quit posting political things that just aren't true."
He stopped replying to my posts around that time (probably quit following me).

Last week, I noticed he "liked" an post anti-Trump I had added to my page. I was shocked. I thought he made a mistake, or misunderstood it.

Then he did it again today.

But just now, he forwarded me a meme (on my wall) making fun of Trump.

First hand, my DU friends! It's really happening—the turd's own party is turning against him.

South LA Family Shares Pain, Warning After 20 Family Members Test Positive

Richard says his father, Vidal, kept up family spirits even when quarantined with COVID-19. The father and son were isolated together inside a bedroom. But by day no. 8, Richard says both were barely hanging on.

"My last words to my dad was, 'Dad, I don’t think I’m going to make it,'" Richard says. "Maybe, my dad was like 'Hey, if you’re going, I’m going too.' That breaks my heart."

Both father and son had health conditions.

Vidal passed away at the hospital a day before Father's Day.

It's sad that it comes down to someone dying to get some to believe the virus is real—and to believe scientists, health officials, doctors, leaders that you should be wearing a mask.

I saw a lady in Texas on a YouTube video acting smug for about 20 minutes, talking about how "I'm not wearing a mask!" And she had it 100% wrong: she said if you want to protect yourself, fine, wear a mask. She doesn't understand it's done to protect OTHERS. Well, her ignorance and selfishness is now etched on the internet for her grandchildren to see.

After we oust Trump from our Whitehouse, and throw him in prison garb...

can we please rename the Trump Golf Course (on the southern California coast) to something else?—anything!

Baseball's Back: Players Reporting to Camps After Reaching Deal With Owners

Source: NBC Los Angeles

Major League Baseball players on Tuesday said they were reporting to training camp after reaching a deal to start the coronavirus-delayed 2020 season.

MLB had asked the union to respond by 5 p.m. EDT Tuesday as to whether players can report to training by July 1 and whether the players' association will agree on the operating manual of health and safety protocols. The schedule would start July 24 and would be the shortest since the National League's third season.

Spring training was suspended on March 12, two weeks ahead of scheduled openers, and the sides reverted to the familiar financial infighting that fractured the sport in the past. An initial deal March 26 called for players to receive prorated salaries and gave MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred power to set the schedule, but that agreement did not require MLB to play in ballparks without fans.

Woman goes on racist tirade at Asian woman working out in the park (video contains profanity)

This happened Wednesday, June 10, 2020 in a park in Torrance, California.
Thinking about it, I guess it's possible this woman has a mental problem, but it sounds to me it's just out and out racism.

To those Bush Republican leaders now crawling out the woodwork, condemning Trump:

Where were you for the past three years when Trump began his crusade against the U.S. and our constitution?
You were oh so quiet. You were sitting back—watching to see what would happen next. You were hoping to reap benefits of a new conservative U.S.

Well, each day, every week, every month of those three plus years, the rest of us have been railing about these tyrants. We even impeached the bastard—and where were you when we needed help to impeach him in the Congress?

I hope the GOP dies a grisly death in November.

There are still battles to be fought—it's not over. But when the dust settles, and we've taken the presidency, the congress and the senate, we will remember how silently you stood and watched.

Go to hell Bush Republicans.

This must be giving Trump an ulcer: Natl. Guard taking a knee with protesters.

The Natl. Guard was lined up to prevent protesters from entering a freeway (assumed). They ended up taking a knee and talking with some of the protesters.

Hollywood, California.

(sorry about the quality: I took iPhone photos of the tv).
