Let the Healing Begin

Published

I believe that since the Biden inauguration, much of the world is breathing a small sigh of relief. I know I am. Yes, there are STILL the dissenters and non-believers and rebels, but for the most part, I think we are safer and headed for better times.

Was watching Dr Fauci on a TV news clip this morning. The man looks 10 years younger!! Like the wt of the nation and world has been shifted off his shoulders.

I can barely imagine the overwhelming psychological and emotional distress that man must have endured since the beginning of this pandemic and the disconnect with DJT. DJT. Such a professional and personal conflict. Yet he always remained the expert professional he is.

In past history, he'd have been beheaded by King Henry VIII or executed by Hitler for his dire cautionary warnings that were so contrary to DJT's.

JMHO, but the man deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for Health and this nation's highest civilian medals, the Presidential Medal of Freedom or Congressional Gold Medal.

JMHO

Doubt that you have done the work I have. May be wrong but I doubt it. Shove both those political parties in the garbage.

You are beyond help. We got DT instead of HRC. Would you have rather had her. Both garbage. If I am hostile it is because of you and your republican counterpart. What’s the diff.

Just stop responding to me. You want an argument. I want a solution 

I'm not looking for help. 

Trump was a disaster.  Common sense suggests that the experienced and vetted politician would have performed better. 

You are hostile because you choose to be hostile.

I'll respond to whomever I prefer to respond to.  However, I suspect that your persistent hostility and rude remarks will inspire most of us to simply mute your posts...you'll largely be yelling at an empty room.  Notice that few are interested in engaging with you even now...

I thought it was a free discussion. Sorry that I hopped into the Democrat republican love fest.

Common sense. What a clown

I can type away and don’t even need to read replies. Or I can. Up to me. Free country

Seems like some on the thread want you to pick a side. I can do what I choose. Love it. Still save more lives per day than any fake work politicians 

Only thing I ever said was that career politicians are a vex on my life and as such teachers and nurses should equal or surpass politicians salaries 

Keep believing though. I never want to squash believing. Just want some realistic equity 

Let’s start healing. Who wants to start a discussion about how to feed and educate the next generation? That’s really all I was talking about. I don’t have to believe in the US two party BS. Do I?

Free country indeed but not necessarily a free discussion.  This is a privately run forum with rules.  You can not attack someone and say "you are beyond help" as personal attacks are not allowed.  Civil discourse when we disagree rules here.  (Sometimes) 

Just a friendly reminder.  Opinions, even off the wall ones, are allowed when respectfully presented.  Carry on and welcome.

But common sense as an answer to me is okay. Got it. When people who want you to pick a side make the rules we all must fall in lockstep. Got it. Now I am starting to understand the rules of free speech.

Who sees the Trump cult members as subhuman? I've read no comment that dehumanizes them. 

We do need to lead by example and promote HONESTY, INTEGRITY, HONOR AND ACCOUNTABILITY.   There is no room to tolerate sedition and insurrection in our republic.  Yes, we can accept that Trump supporters are deceived and uninterested in facts or truth.  We can also recognise that allowing a large political cult to spread unamerican ideology using lies and propaganda is a threat to our constitution. 

Fascism and fascist ideology are not welcome in the modern world.  The confederacy is not welcome in these United States.  Elections determine who is president...not angry mobs caught up in a cult of personality, inflamed by a corrupt despot. 

 

I admit "sub-human" was the incorrect term, "inhuman" would have been better as he had said that Trump supporters seem "alien" to him. That is a dehumanizing statement and throughout history that type of thinking leads to dangerous consequences. I agree that fascism cannot be tolerated in this country, and that the insurrectionists must be held legally accountable for what they have done. We need to think carefully and react surgically towards his followers and not react out of anger in a knee jerk fashion.

58 years and the rules still must be explained. I understand why I avoid political discussion for the most part. Like talking to my father

Alien is not dehumanizing...it describes a foreigner or different way of thinking.   Geesh

Yes...supporting lies, corruption and insurrection is not common in this country. Do you feel that some or any part of what is happening in the pursuit of justice for January 6 is one jerk or angry reaction rather than careful accountability?

Wish I had been able to simply talk to the person upset with my opinion. Just want things to be better than this for my grandson. I’m going away to visit the great beyond. I just found out I have the CA. Sorry to want better than what has been the great worry of who is who. Just want things done. Less talk, more action is my hope. So carry on and please make life great for him, meaning my grandson. Never wanted to argue but I really do not have faith in the US two party system.
