Here's a clip from 2009, when President Obama spoke about the Continental Airlines crash -- the LAST time we had an airline crash with fatalities in America. He didn't blame Bush. He didn't blame Reagan. He just consoled America. A REAL Commander in Chief.

Democrats need to announce the beginning of the 2028 primaries on January 20th, 2025. Once selected the 2028 Dem Candidate needs to be a daily thorn in the side of Trump/GOP, holding rallies, pointing out every damaging/unethical/illegal thing the Trump Admin is doing! We need a new approach!

“But to suggest we should yield even a little to Mr. Trump’s odious politics, to suggest we should compromise on the rights of trans people, for instance, & all of the other critical issues we care most about, is unacceptable. It is shameful & cowardly.” -Roxane Gay www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

I’ve been discouraged and frustrated like the rest of us with how effective Fox News (and other conspiracy theory outlets) spread their message in a convincing way. This podcast helped me understand it. Unfortunately, the more chaos the, the more effective… podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
