disenfranchised, the anti-racists, the people with a bone to pick with <br>
the white power structure that is the USA. Good to see big money <br>
sometimes is on the side of righteous indignation! This what a true hero <br>
looks like, and he risked everything to improve this country. He needs a <br>
medal. The idiots who are burning the Nike socks they bought? <br>
Meh.....and don't even get me started on "drain the swamp and fill it <br>
with crocodiles" T-rump. We have a six year old running the country. The <br>
only folks who can stop him are stuffing their pockets and running for <br>
cover before they get indicted!!<br>
