The Democrat party has the annoying habit of recruiting straight-A, front of the classroom kids with no regard to actual leadership skills. Leadership skills are the single most important skill set in politics, I think the stupidest POTUS in history has thoroughly proven that.

He said, "we should have won Afghanistan easy." I guess he conveniently forgot that he was the Commander in Chief. 😂

I hope he presses charges for aggregated assault, wrongful imprisonment, and any other state law ICE agents violated.

Crap, I thought this was modern statement about Chicago until I saw the writer credit. We're not at the point of death camps yet, and I hope we never are. Still, regardless of the severity, the tactics are disappointingly similar.

I desperately want the Democratic party to wake up to this obviously rising bad faith of the Republicans, but they couldn't stop talking about bipartisanship. Unfortunately, the Democratic party recruits straight-A students, not leaders. DNC values technocrats instead of leadership. 😞

Unfortunately, the Democratic party recruits the smartest "front of the classroom" straight-A kids they can find. They make for terrific technocrats, but lousy leaders. The Democratic party needs to recruit leaders and hire those straight-A kids to support them. Leadership skills matter most.

Encourage the Chicago DA to find, arrest, and press charges against the ICE agents who broke state laws by terrorizing and abusing the children in Chicago. Dragging them out of their beds, separating them from parents, and holding them in zip ties.

Yes! As a former mental health counselor, weaponized gratitude is something that my clients used to talk about and made them feel conflicted. It is a form of abusive control.

I didn't know what state laws were violated, but I know for sure that if I did that, I would have been arrested. Let's harass the DA into arresting and pressing charges against these agents for this crime, and all crimes they commit.

That's wonderful! Are you able to also help victims press charges against ICE agents that engaged in breaking and entering, kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, and any other state law that was violated?

Press state felony charges against ICE agents for kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, and anything else you can think of. The president cannot pardon them.

Press charges. These are felonies in the state. Press charges. Even if they are able to fight and win (which I doubt), it will have a chilling effect.

So, the president said out loud that he wants America to be a police state and is going to use immigration as his excuse.
Wow...
I knew it was coming, but it's still hard to hear.

Okay, here we go.

Paranoid
YouTube video by Type O Negative - Topic Paranoid

Type O Negative's cover of Paranoid is an incredible reimagining of the Black Sabbath song. The tempo is greatly reduced, and it's played in the key of B Major. It's highly unusual to play such a sad song in "the happy key", but such is their humor.

Type O Negative - September Sun
YouTube video by Boris Doomicvs II Type O Negative - September Sun

For this #TypeONegativeDay, I'm reflecting on September Sun. It's a brilliant song in 3 movements, and the reason I set #TONDay to be on September 30th. It's about the end of summer and Peter in his autumn years reflecting on a life without true love. Enjoy!

Today is September 30th, the end of summer and beginning of Halloween season. On this day, I celebrate #TypeONegativeDay. Type O Negative can be described as a Gothic metal band that formed in the late 80's and continued until the lead singer and primary substitute, Peter Steele, died April 14, 2010

Being in a rush this morning, I observed that most drivers in the left most lane, which is the driver's handbook calls the "passing lane" were not passing anyone. If you are not passing other cars, please exit the passing lane. 🙏

Also Governor, direct local police services arrest federal officers breaking state laws like breaking and entering, kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, etc.

It was trash when it came out. He had been publicly talking about retribution and enemies lists.
