There’s a film starring Kevin Bacon called Taking Chance about the military journey of a deceased soldier. I thought it was worth watching and recommend it to anyone interested in some of the details.
Barack and Joe were an incredible team! Joe and Kamala will also be terrific. It’s up to us to make sure everyone votes and that those votes are protected and counted! We heard about yard signs being taken in some places, so we painted ours on the garage doors.

I keep wondering if Putin is encouraging Trump to denigrate the U.S. military,
and seeking to benefit from weakening the American people’s trust in our military.
I can hardly wait for you, Joe Biden… counting the days until I can finally feel normal.

Trump’s grandfather Friedrich petitioned the government of Bavaria not to deport him and family. He was deported to the US for skipping military service.
It might be Labor Day weekend, but let’s all remember that we're still in the middle of a pandemic. Wear a mask, practice social distancing, and follow the experts. It’ll save lives.

Special report: Ari Melber explores how cell phone videos are advancing police accountability and traces the evolution across policy, politics and technology. The report documents two features of viral police videos that often go “unseen” – the people who record them, and the system’s response to the videos, including a backlash that recently went to the highest levels of the FBI. Melber reports on the current climate in the Trump era and the far longer history in the U.S. struggle for civil rights.”

Pearls from
Emperor-Mad-Golden-Toilet-Seat:
“In cities across the nation, we’ve also seen police officers assaulted with bricks,
rocks, bats, Molotov cocktails, frozen bottles of water […]
And then they have cans of soup.
Soup.
And they throw the cans of soup.
That’s better than a brick because you can’t throw a brick;
it’s too heavy.
But a can of soup, you can really put some power into that, right?
[…]
And then, when they get caught, they say, “No, this is soup for my family.”
They’re so innocent.
“This is soup for my family.”
It’s incredible.
And you have people coming over with bags of soup — big bags of soup.
And they lay it on the ground, and the anarchists take it and they start throwing it at our cops, at our police.
And if it hits you, that’s worse than a brick because that’s got force.
It’s the perfect size.
It’s, like, made perfect.
And when they get caught, they say, “No, this is just soup for my family.”
And then the media says, “This is just soup.
These people are very, very innocent.
They’re innocent people.
These are just protesters. Isn’t it wonderful to allow protesting?”
No, there’s — and, by the way, the media knows it better than we do.
They know what’s going on. I don’t know what’s wrong with them.
They’re doing our country a tremendous disservice — I’ll say that.

This weekend, we must remember that labor built the middle class in our country and lifted up working Americans. We have unions to thank for better wages and safer working conditions. When @JoeBiden and I are in the White House, workers will have us fighting by their side.
The economy wasn’t working for folks long before this virus hit. That’s why @KamalaHarris and I won’t just build back to the way things were — we’re going to build back better.

The straight line distance between Washington, D.C. and Dover, Delaware is less than 85 miles. It takes a helicopter about 40-45 minutes to make the trip. I was 19 years-old, and it was my first time riding a helicopter. I barely remember any of it. I was distracted. (thread)
That’s the least and, unfortunately, the most, I could do other than continuing to try to awaken some person of distinction and honor to be America’s “Paul Revere” before it’s too late to do anything but ……
(I had family executed by the Nazis in Lyon, France in WW2 because no one in the UK took Churchill seriously and because no one in the US gave a rat’s ass about Hitler until it was way too late.
And, btw, Hitler did ZIP, ZERO, NADA, NOTHING to damage the US and our Democracy.
And yes, the Emperor of Japan killed some very fine Americans and destroyed a few of our ships before ANYONE paid ANY attention to him.
Thus, our role in WW2 was only minimally in response to ACTUAL DAMAGE to the USA compared to the devastation Putin has silently and effectively ALREADY accomplished.
And, the dude is on a roll toward VICTORY and NO ONE HAS YET BEEN OUR “Paul Revere” and called on ALL Americans to DEFEND the USA from our ACTUALLY ENEMY. Trump, Pence, Barr, Mitch, Lindsey, most of ‘the media’ of any flavor …. are simply, but very effectively deployed assault weapons.)
Trump loved Putin, Cohen wrote, because the Russian leader had the ability “to take over an entire nation and run it like it was his personal company — like the Trump Organization, in fact.” https://t.co/yf2hpnJ48w

Three years ago today, the administration arbitrarily tried to end DACA and threw hundreds of thousands of Dreamers’ lives into crisis. I want every Dreamer to know that we still have your back. Your home is here, and we must continue fighting to ensure that.
Why do you think they don’t want us to vote? We all know the answer: It’s because they know when we vote, things change. When we vote, we will be seen, we will be heard, and elected officials will be held accountable. VOTE.

There’s a film starring Kevin Bacon called Taking Chance about the military journey of a deceased soldier. I thought it was worth watching and recommend it to anyone interested in some of the details.
Yes, it is EXCELLENT!
Oh, good, I love having my opinions validated! And besides, Kevin Bacon is a good DEMOCRAT!

That’s right, he is! 😄
Yes, I’ve seen that. Powerful.

Nice!
The above comment was in response to Judith’s “JOE” sign. Have no idea how it got separated.
BTW, the “KAMALA” sign is also lovely!
