Fearing a Trump takeover, Justice Department alumni endorse Kamala Harris
Former DOJ officials warned in a new letter that the โfabric of the nation, the rule of law and the future of the Democracy are at stake in this election.โ
The Constitution was established to "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity"; Women were not excluded. Period. Also, the 9th Amendment: "rights not enumerated shall not be construed to deny others". Looks like they want Liberty for some but not for all.
"Come on, people, come on, children / Come on down to the glory river / ... / Gotta take that dream and ride that dove / We can build the dream with love, I know / ... / Save the people, save the children / Save the country, ..."
Live version:
Laura Nyro - "Save the Country" (Laura Nyro) (Live, 1969), starting around 4:45, preceded by the introduction and "He's a Runner"

@nealfig I watched it and listened, Trump just lied, lied and lied again, no one could have withstood that onslaught of lying, Joe got mad and lost it which was probably Dumald's aim. There's nothing wrong with Joe at all. Debating someone like Trump is a ludicrous idea, I wish Joe hadn't done it but done is done and I believe Harris will leave the moron in the dust.

I had to post this because of Roger Taylor's falsetto on the recording, which I assume he also did here.

Hope needs compassionate action. Best to be compassionate anyway.
Many self-avowed 'critical thinkers', especially on Twitter, seem to not think critically.
