Hey Joe
(353 posts)I remember reading back when he ran in 16 accounts from when he ran his (fathers) business. He loved to pit people against each other and generate conflict. He enjoys watching others fight over status, position etc.
A genuine sicko.

(4,834 posts)Charlie, most American of saints, you whose heart resisted all temptation of empathy. You were chosen during your time here on Earth to defend the faithful from the immigrant, the female, and the sexually non-conforming.
Through your masculine intercession we ask that you prevent the evil media for calling for our guns to be taken away. In life you defended the most holy of the amendments, now we pray that you deliver our prayers to Supplyside Jesus so that we can rest assured that our heavily armed status will not be compromised.
We trust in the power of Trump, who could crush us like roaches, to keep our armaments safe.

Growing up a half century ago I remember the US was almost always compared to Western European countries or the rapidly modernizing Asian tigers, South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan.
More and more I see the US compared to very troubled countries which are headed in a very unpleasant direction.

(39,544 posts)The shooting at American Fish Company in Southport occurred around 9:30 p.m. local time when a gunman traveling in a boat along the Cape Fear River pulled up to the restaurant's dock and fired into a crowd. The boat then fled up the Intracoastal Waterway toward Oak Island.

(4,834 posts)I was working as a registered nurse I knew many police officers. Several were working as security for megachurch pastors.
I was gobsmacked to find out that pastors have security details, let alone that police would be working in those details.
These pastors can be extremely wealthy so I guess that it makes sense. And hearing about some of the activities that they are involved in I guess using the contributions of their flock also makes sense.

I cant actually believe that this would happen in my city, resident Joe Ostrander said. Nothing like this has ever even come close to happening here. It honestly -- I cant even believe that its happened here.
