The constant MSN on Charlie Kirk's murder, the prayers, the official sorrows are certainly dwarfed by the daily death count in Gaza. No mention of the mostly defenseless civilians slaughtered by the overwhelming powerful IDF (funded and supported by us). Don't look there, look here please.
I'm sure the attack on the boat (and the fleet off of Venezuela) has nothing to do with the country floating on one of the biggest oil fields in the world...🙄 I'm expecting more provocations against that country in an effort to trigger an attack/invasion.
Two F-16s overflying a destroyer that could have swatted them out of the air isn't a provocation. It's a message of disapproval over the sinking of the boat. The Russians did that all of the time during the Cold War.
You recount that history well. You also wrote: "The polarization and the partisanship cause us to lose sight of what unites us. At such a time, we must remember those things that help hold us together. What binds us as a people is a sense of common decency, a desire to do the right thing, a desire to see our families flourish and our communities thrive, a belief in goodness and God, and a hope for something we used to call The America Dream:" Until we recognize that actually our history is one of violence, from an attempted genocide of Native Americans, to slavery, to lynchings, to the Vietnam and Iraq wars based on lies, to Kent State, to assasinations, to all the gun violence and murder in schools in the last few decades, to yesterday's shooting/ murder we can't move forward. Saying "this is not who we are," or "we are better than this" doesn't align with history. This is who we are. Now those trying to erase our actual history will only perpetuate the problem, because while it might not appear in textbooks for schools, the effects will still be with us. We must face the truth directly, as a country, in order to change the outcomes. Then can we enact policies that move us in a positive direction as a nation with all on board. Then and only then can we regain a position of true leadership.
CONGRESS DIDN'T VOTE TO GO TO WAR WITH IRAQ...CONGRESS ABDICATED WAR POWERS TO THE EXECUTIVE IN OCTOBER OF 2002!!!
AND TAKING THE ARGUMENT BEYOND THE FACT THERE HAS BEEN AN ORCHESTRATION...A FABRICATION...OF TERROR WAR...
IS A CATASTROPHIC AND TRAGIC MISTAKE THAT KUCINICH MAKES TIME AND AGAIN.....CUT OUT ALL THE CLEVERNESS VERBOSITY Blah blah...and stay on topic...your inside info is invaluable....👍🏾💗
