I appreciate how concerned you appear.

And I wonder at how concerned you don't appear.

It looked similar to how a friend of mine who had a stroke about 10 days ago looks when she is tying to do the same thing using her badly weakened hand, as did his gait down the stairs or ramp or whatever.

He hasn't had the physical that most presidents would have had by now. It's concerning. I have no idea what is behind it but I hope it is very temporary and that we don't see such from him again.

Better resign before you are called on to do your jobs instead of needlessly killing folks.

And sooooooo hard to have your superiors show compassion and even solidarity with folks leading a protest. Get out fast! Otherwise, you might break out into Kumbayah.

Apparently there is a petition to replace all statues of Columbus with Columbo.

Have you read the transcript of Trump's remarks?

Ahh, never mind - not sure why I even ask.

Watched the speech. Boring boilerplate that someone else wrote for him and that he barely managed to read off the teleprompter. Coverage called it lethargic. I’d have to agree. Refusing to solute?  I’d give him the finger, making me go into two weeks of quarantine for that snoozer.

And yeah, I saw the water glass push in real time, and thought it was notable. Who isn’t able to drink a glass of water with one hand?  Not a healthy person.

He’s also wearing lifts in his shoes.

You mean I appear as concerned as Trump and his supporters are about Biden when they grab hold of any verbal tick and fake GIF they can to tell us all how Biden is mentally deteriorating?

Not nearly.

Hey, at least nobody died and the pastor was eventually released despite his being non-white.

Trump stroking out onstage during a debate or rally would be pretty funny and good television.

We know pence has been working on his campaign for four full years now, and he’d have trump’s record to run on as well as the option to retain his crack staff.

It would be awful. Not funny.

And I doubt it takes a whole staff to get him crack.

I'm not opposed to social justice. If it's real, and if it accommodates reality.
The SVU piece is idiocy, and only an idiot would take it seriously.

The SJW demands conformity. He/she/they opposes diversity of thought, in the name of diversity; he/she/they can only entertain his/her/their POV. All others are inferior and must be lectured on the correct way to impose "justice".

The dumbfucks alienate the very people who can activate real change.

Weak.

You edited this after I'd already hit reply, so I missed some of your bullshit.

The bolded segment is your definition of what a Social Justice Warrior is, but it fits you far better - you epitomize rigidity. It's your way or the highway.

What is "The dumbfucks alienate the very people who can activate real change." but a lecture on the right way to impose "justice?"

And I reiterate - I would rather be weak my way than strong your way.

Oh, wait - you're claiming that you are one of "the very people who can activate real change."

Of course you are, UNO. Consider your head patted.

SUCKERS

Obama was known for not often taking questions

Trump is the KING of hearing, processing and responding.

Reading the prompter is not a real skill.
