Took me a while to come up with a relatively short...

phrase that highlights what you pointed out.

"Don't make vunerable groups into sacrificial lambs for your political purity, /or the revolt will arise ideas/argument.

I'd been struggling for years to hone this because I could end up sort of flustered and sort of blithering in a verbal discussion - since I fit into a few of the vunerable categories myself. Anxiety would get in my way.

Because of cv19 I haven't had the chance as this would often happen with people espousing their POVs - leaflets, petitions etc in Public places like a big Green Market, etc.

I understand...

Ex-Catholic for about 4/5 of my life, not a Christian, Spiritual.

Up untill yesterday since I heard about it ?several weeks back no sympathy, and tons of schaendenfrued.

Yesterday I felt a smidgen of sympathy. My mom became a severe asthmatic (then less so, thank goodness) when I was 5 1/2. She died of unexpected breathing issues decades later.

Still have tons of schaendenfrued.

I will be Extremely Happy when he's off the air for good after all the streams of poison he's spewed!!

That makes sense...

Programs created by WNYC include

The Brian Lehrer Show
On The Media
This American Life
The New Yorker Radio Hour
The United States of Anxiety
Trump, Inc

plus more podcasts 👍


So being able to listen to straight on broadcast radio in the NYC area to this station is a blessing !!! 🙂

For those Upset at NPR... Listen to WNYC beause...

... start with listening to award winning (incld Peabody) journalist and host Brian Lehrer from 10A - Noon.

Why?

Brain concentrates on polititical-social issues. Earlier in drumph's residency Brian used to use softer language until some time in mid '18 or early '19 started using "liar", at some point later "racist", probably "sextist", too, probably also acknowledging the other anti vunerable groups as needed as well.

You can start with his debate review right from today!

Orher hosts, and programs have also been serious about drump's likes, viciousness, greed etc


Try - I think you'll like. 🙂 👍
