45. Nope. We're talking TO each other.

I never implied we should get a pass. We never get a pass. Agreed.

We never have to own this president, either. He is THE president in name only. He is everything a president is NOT.

We WILL address that ever happening again.

The healing will be fast at home. "We" heal circles around other countries.
Some slink off and wallow in their racist/nazi/believer sickness. They will always be there, but they will never again get a platform. Some of that 63 million will heal, though, come to their senses and never go back.

Healing will take longer abroad. They will watch and see our healing and whether they can trust US leadership again. Not for nothing, they've also learned how to be more self sufficient and resilient themselves.

Onward. To beat this devil down in the hole. We have no choice.

Thanks for your thoughts.
