quite honestly, at the end of the day, i don't think any of our feelings are wrong. there are two certainties: there are those who are deeply religious and if christian, kind and good hearted people doing their best to follow in the footsteps of christ, and then there are those we know use it as a cover for sinister behavior. we all know in here that in this group no one falls into the second category. any mentions of category 2 types would never be a dig on those in here. but i can understand how it can be uncomfortable and off putting to have any badmouthing of something one holds dear to their core. so i will keep any digs to that end out of these discussions because i don't want to hurt or offend any one of you who are in this group. you're all a fantastic and much needed life line in these crazy times!

OH MY GOODNESS. WARNING: THIS IS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC.
i am angry, massively angry, trying my best to hold it together but i am in tears. this is one of several tipping points. black people strong armed and senselessly killed. am in tears for them. now an elderly man being shoved to the ground and skull cracked a few hours ago. this CANNOT go on.
THEY MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL OF THEIR ACTIONS. ALL OF THEM.

twitter posts as of 7 minutes ago indicate the offending officers have been suspended without pay and an investigation underway. thank goodness for this video. they are trying to use the excuse he tripped and fell. i'd probably lose my balance and fall too after being shoved to the ground.

he gives those particular thugs more energy by osmosis. this is horrifying. there was another video recently in salt lake city. armed officers pushed an elderly man walking with a cane down to the ground. i can't even believe we've gone to this length. the man in the WH eggs this on, and morbidly gleefully at that.
and another video the other day of officers destroying a medic set up. smashing medical supplies and case after case of water bottles. gleefully like their master dog whistles for them to do. i mean at this point who are we kidding. it's not dog whistles anymore. it's full on explicit encouragement.

I know. Sickening isn’t it. People found the officer who shoved the elderly man annual pay online. $81k a year. To do something like that. People are calling for his pay and pension to be seized and put towards the man’s medical expenses.

"Where there is no vision the people perish."
I feel like we are living this bible verse daily.
Cops knocking down senior citizens and walking by them. An evil con man standing in front of a church holding up a bible. Cops in full riot gear facing off with Americans on American soil.
Have we lost our minds and our souls at the same time?
I guess that's what happens when you put evil in the Oval Office.

finreporter, I saw that video this morning. The man is hospitalized, I believe in serious condition. It is almost more disturbing watching the police walk by offering no assistance as he is lying on the ground bleeding. One officer did call 911 eventually.

i saw something recently that said "for those that didn't see this coming once the results were in november 2016, you must not read up on your history. the rest of us were not just being sore losers. we knew this was coming." or something to that effect.
you get what you pay for. you wanted to bumbling narcissistic sadistic petty jealous idiot in the white house, well you got one. thanks a lot.

and the more scary aspect of all of this, if he could be like the dictators he so admires, he would be. say something bad about him, you get shot. protest in these large numbers, get shot. media controlled by him and only him and only allowed to praise him. no three branch government at all. just him. with old people getting shoved to the ground and protesters being shot at randomly, this is getting much closer to his wet dream.

finreporter , I saw that video this morning. The man is hospitalized, I believe in serious condition. It is almost more disturbing watching the police walk by offering no assistance as he is lying on the ground bleeding. One officer did call 911 eventually. isn't that unbearable to watch? it's as bad as watching the george floyd video. this weird sick disregard for human life. this is who we have hired to protect and serve the people? apparently now we've hired them to protect and serve their master. and no one else.

Sore losers? Lol. Is it me or do these trumpsters sound like children? I'm waiting for them to start singing, "Made you look, made you look, made you buy a penny book." Ugh.
What a bunch of immature fools. Sore losers. I'm surprised they didn't call us poo-poo heads.
No, children. That's not it. When you're a grownup you might be able to understand our concern.
The only loser we see by putting an ego maniacal, tv talk show host in the WH is the USA.
Ok, time for your naps now.

Connie, this is trumps America. Not the America we grew up in. Not the America our warriors gave their lives, limbs, hearts and souls for.
He will turn on his base too. It might take them a while to get it. When they do they will probably blame President Obama anyway.
Isn't there something we can do? Congress can do? Oprah? Anybody to remove this clear and very, very dangerous crack pot from the Oval Office? Now?
I can't help worrying that he will pull something to postpone or completely do away with the election in November.
He is an evil uncontrollable dictator. With stupid but loyal followers, who believes he has absolute power. [rbr]This hurts my head and my heart.
First they knocked down our elders and we did nothing...
So much for that "It could NEVER happen here!" thing.
