Whenever I hear President Obama speak I learn a new way to view our country. He’s an amazing teacher and we’re blessed to have him in our midst.
President Obama just did a sleight of hand thing that fit so well! Michelle's a tough act to follow, Barack is her equal.

Trump's narrow view threatened his world view by two highly educated and accomplished people who happen to be Black. Who's gonna tell him that the job he is seeking is one of those Black jobs?—Michelle Obama #DNC 🔥 🔥 🔥
Amen. God bless satire.

The perfect storm? What we witnessed last night could have easily been a shit-storm if the party didn't take Biden's advice and coalesce behind Kamala Harris. They have taken every right step since Joe Biden withdrew. I was hesitant to see him do so, but that a large number of big egos sat on them for the past month. It's unheard of in #politics.

For the olds
The 18 year olds who are starting college this fall were 11 years old when Charlottesville happened. They were 9 when Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president by calling Mexicans rapists.
They just do not understand the before times. They think Trump is a Normal part of #Politics
we all should demand better.
What Joe Biden did a few weeks back was the singular most selfless act I’ve ever seen a politician do. He put country ahead of everything. He’s a special man and deserves accolades for his actions.

CounterSocial is a few short months away from being SEVEN YEARS OLD. (We can't believe it either.)
It hasn't "broken even" once in that entire time. That means that over 80 of the months that CounterSocial has existed, its founder has had to pay the difference between subscriptions, donations, and whatever was owed to keep the servers online.
We mention this for one reason.
In order for CounterSocial to thrive, it needs a lot more people just like you.
Tell your friends. #CoSoTips
It's always about the Benjamins. The corruption is staggering.

This commercial made my head explode. An RN is complaining about hospitals being overwhelmed in support of TFG. If she wanted to see an overwhelmed hospital, she should have been in the ER I was in on April 17, 2020 when my wife was being treated for a blood clot that took her life. That hospital was overwhelmed because Donald didn't know how to respond to a pandemic. I saw more than one person die that day. For me, it's personal.

Took a train ride into the cradle of liberty, Philadelphia. Saw this wonderful post menopausal woman dancing at City hall’s fountain. Made me feel like we’re going to be okay.

I just saw a Trump Anti-Harris add claiming Harris pardoned "illegal aliens" that went on to harm or murder people.
Kamala Harris has never been governor or President, so she couldn't pardon anybody.
Iran, if you're listening…
This is just one list of many that I've read in the past few days. The press needs to be covering this story - he's nuts.

About a week ago, for no apparent reason the song Playground in my Mind showed up in my brain. It's such an awful song and I couldn't get rid of the melody in my brain. Aging can be really strange sometimes! I erased it by whistling the Andy Griffith Show theme - took several hours.
