Trump walking down the ramp. Observation: Trump's left leg takes the step and the right

leg catches up. Left leg take the step and the right catches up. He tried to have the right go forward once and had to pause and went back to left foot and then the right. So, something is up with the right side. It was that side that the right arm could left the water but the wrist could not tip the cup up to drink water and needed the other hand to tip it. He holds his right arm to body without movement on a lot of his walking too.

Oh, the step he was taking down the ramp caught my attention because I sprang my ankle a couple weeks ago and going down the stairs I had to step down with good ankle and then sprained ankle had to come to that step so I could step down on the good ankle.

And as for his bday. I thought the man was older than Biden. I thought he was in his 80's. I really did. He moves like a man much older than 74 yrs young.

Ironic all Confederate statues are being pulled down and removed during the most racist Presidency.

Trump, our most racist president has caused this. I find it delicious. History books will be talking about Trump's racism. And they will be talking about 2020 address of black injustices and systematic racism. Trump helped strongly to fire up the nation, the very opposite of what he represents.

And the Supremacist feared it was going to happen with our first black President.

I have inundated my FB with a thread on articles it is white and supremacists/KKK doing the damage

and not so much the blacks protesting.

I did this because I started hearing from FB friends and family that they were angry about the destruction and it is so unfair for the protest to get ALL the blame. Maybe a small portion, but then, that too, I would argue all this time of abuse/murder and still here protesting the same, meh... But by starting three days ago saying St Paul mayor says people arrest from out of state and Gov saying 80% out of area, I have gotten my people open to other possibilities. Then yesterday started a thread with article after article showing it is a RW effort. It has even confidenced my most rw, but open to information friend. I also did another thread with many articles about the good in this protest and people being their better self.

We just have to get the information out and not let them assume it is blacks doing it because of our inherent racism, that will be the automatic go to of course. Anyway,

Someone suggested I put links in one Op.

I guess the NY woman adpoted a rescue dog. This is from the agency. Now lets hear from the cops

for false reporting.

Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue, Inc.

Thank you to the concerned public for reaching out to us about a video involving a dog that was adopted from our rescue a few years ago. As of this evening, the owner has voluntarily surrendered the dog in question to our rescue while this matter is being addressed. Our mission remains the health and safety of our rescued dogs. The dog is now in our rescue’s care and he is safe and in good health. We will not be responding to any further inquiries about the situation, either publicly or privately. Thank you for your understanding.


Edit: A thread for those that are not aware what woman I am talking about. Cooper. Calling cops on a black man, ratcheting up the hysteria in a call to 911.

May I ask for some personal stories and opinions on dental issues?

Wednesday I am scheduled to have all my teeth pulled and get dentures. Scary scary stuff from getting the procedure done and adapting to life with dentures.

My teeth are strong but I have gum disease. I didn't have money to take care of it for a couple years, I was taking care of health issues. Only so much money so I had to hold off. I could have gotten partials in the back, but it has progressed. The dentist said that she could do partials and then four times a year get a special cleaning that costs so much more. I figure it would be a couple thousand a year. I am minimum wage employee. She said that she could do the partials and hope the cleanings would save my front teeth but a year or two down the road, I could just be spending more money for complete dentures.

That bill two years ago, with insurance was going to be over 5k.

I decided to just get it all done now and that is costing 7k, with insurance picking up the rest. Quality dentures, top of the line and a package that will take care of future care.

I talked to my father who has dentures and he convinced me it was not the end of the world and the procedure was doable. I was talking to a friend and she told me the horror stories of dentures and everyone is living a hell with them and go Holistic and spend money.

Can you all give me the reality and do I want to go the option of partial and try to save most of my teeth? I still have a couple days to decide. Like I said, my teeth are strong but the gum disease has caused so much damage.

Anyone want to help me out, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Ha ha, Oregon Gov addressing Trumps tweet about Michigan mail in voting.

Governor Kate Brown

Mr. President: Oregon has been voting by mail for 22 years. We just had a great election yesterday. It was safe, secure, accessible. And we protected public health. What more do you need to know to be convinced, Donald J. Trump?

Michigan sends absentee ballot applications to 7.7 million people ahead of Primaries and the General Election. This was done illegally and without authorization by a rogue Secretary of State. I will ask to hold up funding to Michigan if they want to go down this Voter Fraud path!

Mask story at dental office, today.

I was the first in and then about 6 followed, so yea, I got in first and out of lobby. In Oregon only emergency dental until May 1. They opened up other procedures May 1 and this office is slowly implementing other procedures. You can bet they take this seriously seeing how when drilling or cleaning, the virus flies.

A woman was about the fourth to check in. She was handed a mask. "Do I have to wear it?". Yes says office receptionist. She huffed and gruffed and attitude answering questions to determine if a risk but put the mask on. About the 6th to check in was a 40'sh man. Do I have to wear the mask? Yes.

He throws the mask on the counter and says, "I am not going to do it". And he walked out. Fuckin walked out because he refused to wear a mask. These employees are in this all day, wearing protection their whole shift, and this asshole had to make a stink. I was sure to thank each woman for being tough on mask wearing.

Afterwards when paying the bill I told the employee about the man refusing, and can you believe that? She said someone else walked out and threw their mask on lobby floor. The woman with an attitude before.

She says she is not surprised the way people behave. Even at 150, I am surprised. I really am. I read it here. But I am surprised each and every time. Mind blowing to me.

Instead of trying to open as normal, we need to be getting smart how to curtail business in a

fashion that can survive fall. Everyone is jumping in to splash and play, instead of doing the "little ant" work of creating a society that can weather what is to come.

Anyone else not get their refund check yet? I turbo taxed my returns on April 2. I am owed over

a thousand dollars. A month and an half later, I have not received my money. I thought the IRS had rules about that, having to get the refund to us by a certain time. Anyone else?
