Asheville is vibrating 💫
Preparations underway for 🍊 rally and protest
Took these shots this AM as they shutdown our town. Secret service in our Roof Garden as direct line of sight to venue & protestors
Must have stirred up interest with SS taking photos. One of them followed me for a couple blocks on my walk.
Police have advised our managers to leave by 2 pm tomorrow or they will have to stay until Thursday. They have also advised protesters are coming in buses
Excited 💥
It's so frustrating to see the MSM still insisting on covering Trump as a normal candidate/politician.
I'm not a psychiatrist, but I think you and I can recognize an obviously sick man.
The American Psychiatric Association’s "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders", defines the symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
And #trump obviously hits them all.
Everything he does is predictable.

What did she say to him?
"You're going to draw a double team on the wing, leaving KD and LeBron open. You're *not* going to pass the ball. I repeat, you're not going to pass the ball. Instead, here's what I want you to do: you're going rainbow that shit for the golden dagger. Got it? Now repeat it back."

Yeah. This is one of my favorites. Thanks. 🙏

Okay Nauts.... I've been thinking about the debate last night. And only commenting after watching Biden's NC rally.
I have worked on four campaigns, helped prep 2 candidates for debates. Biden's team over-prepared him. Instead of letting him be Uncle Joe, they tried to turn him into a databank. With that idiot next to him, without moderators helping with fact checks, he didn't need those statistics.
We needed Uncle Joe. Even with the cold and acid reflux.
Just Joe.
I'm with Biden.

And to you, my friend. 👍
It's Memorial Day. Hug a soldier, sailor, airman, or marine today. And get to know them if you can.
This weekend I was moved to write down my thoughts about being a Veteran transitioning to civilian life.

I've loved this tune since I first heard it a few years ago. I think it's the song of our decade; perfectly capturing the time in which we live.

Does it strike anyone else that our nation is gripped in fear?
Where are the challengers to Biden nostalgia?
Where are the brash, young leaders beckoning to a new path?
The so-called leaders of both political parties are, apparently, afraid to speak; afraid to step out; fearful of losing.
Poll after poll screams at us that there should be a better choice.
Well, I"m deeply disappointed and dismayed that Biden has backed off this initial step forward.
It seems to me the world is falling into step in opposing the immoral, destructive actions of the Israeli govt.
While 81 yo Biden is stuck in the past and moving toward blowing up his own reelection.
Of course it's the rest of us that will suffer the most.
Opposing the Netanyahu govt. is not anti-semitism.

Well, Nikki, there’s some good news despite your bad news day: Stockholm Syndrome is now covered by Obamacare.
Finally, we get a really hopeful sign from the President. Until now, I've been sickened by his talk that seems to me to equate anti semitism with outrage over the slaughter of Palestinians.
If this latest pronouncement forces Netanyahu to stand down, it's a very good thing.
Yes, it's way late, but still a good thing.
