OMG! The SKY IS FALLING. [View all]

Those caving Democrats have failed us again.

They have invited not one but four Republicans to speak at OUR CONVENTION! Four out of hundreds of Democrats. FOUR! They are going to take over our plarform because we are so weak. They are going to push RW talking points during Our Convention. They plan to assert control over our convention.



Get a grip.

Do I trust Repubs as a whole? No I do not. Not even close, however I will applaud any vote against trump. If they can turn 100 votes our way tonight, that is a good thing. A well respected Senator said much the same and was applauded to welcome them into our big tent. Now with Biden, not so much.

Not sure where people are at these days, what they are thinking. We do not need division right now. To sow it is going to prove even more fatal than where we stand now. We have 170K dead, by election day, with schools opening then slamming their doors shut within days of opening will have us well over 200K American bodies in graves.

Let's try to get it right by all working together. Not much time left.

TIC TOC.
