CH 38 FOUR DEAD IN OHIO… OR IS IT CHICAGO, NYC, PORTLAND?

I have a song in my head. If you’re not near my age, maybe you don’t hear Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young singing it, about 4 unarmed students killed by the national guard at Kent State University in 1970 Ohio.... www.facebook.com/w1037051/

MARCO, DON’T RETURN US TO U.S. LATIN AMERICAN IMPERIALISM ~ Did I tell you I’m a wise elder woman? By that, I mean I recall U.S. Latin American imperialism in the 1950s & beyond. Marco, you didn’t like a takeover of Cuba, but you want a U.S. military takeover of Venezuela? www.facebook.com/w1037051/

38 IT’S TIME TO TALK ABOUT HEALTHCARE Yes, now, amid the shutdown. It's about healthcare: doubling ACA premiums and forgone Medicare telehealth. It's time to talk REAL healthcare. I mean comprehensive, universal, single-payer healthcare (a.k.a. Medicare for All).... www.facebook.com/w1037051/

He’s gone overboard. We’ve seen it before, his rambling speeches of windmills, sharks, and such. We’ve seen his narcissism, vengeance, and cruelty. We’ve suspected it, but now it's obvious. Donald Trump is psychotic.

CH. 28. THE HEARTBREAKING TEARS OF KIDS

The tears of 2 Gazan kids brought more tears to my eyes than all the starved and mangled dead bodies amid them. And then Donald was at it again--whining about how no one said "thanks" when he gave his mealey $ to the GHF.
