Welcome to my world. Took a 30 minute mostly rural drive this afternoon and passed 26

Trump signs or flags and only 3 Biden signs, one of which was mine.

This is in southern Illinois---or, "little Mississippi" as some of us call it.

First, a review; then, a question.

In Kenosha, Wisconsin, an unarmed young black man who had not committed any crime opened the driver's door of his car in which three of his kids sat and was then shot not once---not twice---but SEVEN DAMN TIMES---IN THE BACK! There is bystander video which captured these events.

To those who say we should not "rush to judgment" based on "just" the video: short of a recording of Jacob saying "I'm gonna get my Uzi outta my car and kill all you cops!", what in hell do you think "further investigation" might turn up that could possibly justify SEVEN POINT BLANK SHOTS INTO THE BACK OF AN UNARMED MAN------------while his three sons watched!

This is bullshit. There is NO reason not to arrest the shooter NOW.

For the record, I'm an ancient white man.

Man oh Man! I guess I have just totally misunderstood what the white supremacists said!

Until this FaIwell folderol, I thought it was us liberals who were supposedly "cucks"!

Addendum---just a thought: Does Jerry have a subscription to "The Spectator"?

DeJoy, the lying sonofabitch now spewing on my TV, just said that he did not order an

end to overtime, he just "suspended" it!

Is "the sumbitch needed smacking" still a defense in some jurisdictions?

"Blinky" DeJoy looks "uncomfortable". Love pats and ass kisses are not the modus operandi in

the Democratic House.

Sir, I hope you brought a container to carry your ass home in because I believe it is going to be handed to you.

If the Cons ever succeed in making it a crime to be a Democrat---

will there be enough evidence to convict you?

What I mean to ask is: "Does anyone who is not a close friend or family member KNOW you support the Democrats?"

It is great that you vote Democratic and keep yourself informed, but---does your car have any of "our" stickers? Do you wear a cap or shirt or button promoting Biden/Harris or another Democratic candidate?

Everyone's opinions are respected by someone---a co-worker, neighbor or someone down the pew. Knowing that YOU are voting for Joe and Kamala may influence a couple others to do the same.

And, Trump's 2016 winning margin in Michigan amounted to 2 votes per precinct.
