 Count your blessings.

One of many I have at the Hermitage is I don't have television.

So I didn't have to watch the disgusting show that pretended to be a presidential debate.

I would never get that time back -- an important measurement as I get older.

But I need to say, or write, that a failure to to condemn white supremacy is the grossest thing I've ever seen a U.S. president do.

I've ready plenty of U.S. history and there are many grotesque moments, from the Federalists to the Democrat Republicans to the Whigs to the No-Nothings to Republicans to Democrats.

But giving support to the nascent Proud Boys makes me want to vomit all over America.

Like all racists, they hide. I've written before about how the KKK hid behind white masks and modern racists hide behind fake names on social media. In the case of the Proud Boys, they hide behind dog whistle language, winks and nods.

Were they truly proud, they would come out and say what they are: white supremacists.

And the president has shown his colors once again.

Peace and equality unto all of my brothers and sisters.

  3. First anonymous guy says eschewing hatred is hatred itself. Other nameless guy wants to know if BLACK LIVES MATTER and if you are against fascism.

    This in apparent defense of a man who has told over 22,000 documented lies in the last 4 years, filed bankruptcy four times, failed at every single business venture, lost billions of daddy's money, owes hundreds of millions more, denigrated war dead, had over 200,000 Americans die on his watch, and compromised our national security on the global stage, while he threatens the soul of our democracy - all because he hears the bell tolling from the other side of the Presidency.

    You are a better man than me, Rich. An inspiration to us all. "What matters most is how well you walk through the fire."

  4. We are living in a novel taking place in Stephen King’s head. We’ve all got to take a stand. I can’t understand the people who aren’t horrified by the acts and speech of the horrible current potus.

  5. Even Republicans, like Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham, who have enabled the lies and chicanery of this president for four years are appalled by Trump's refusal to condemn the Proud Boys when asked by moderator Chris Wallace to do so. I am going to run, not walk, to the polls to cast my vote for Joe Biden. Anyone who still values the democratic process, treasures all that is noble and good in this country must do the same.

    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR.
