And Netanyahu originally convinced the felon-in-chief to join this war.

That’s why I objected to the headline. The narrative really matters.

That’s for Thursdays and Saturdays. (Regular protests with my Indivisible group.). Fridays the old hippies and veterans and I stand silently for peace.

And same here. 9/11 scared me witless and I found DU after experiencing that in my dentist's chair in Albany, NY. All hell broke loose there and everyone was on the phone while I sat forgotten in the dentist's chair watching the World Trade Center being hit over and over on her TV on CNN. It was after that when I found DU. And here I was devastated when George Bush* was given a second term. Little did I know back then how much worse it could get.

I at least was working outside in a plant nursery outside Niagara Falls. Better place for traumatic news.
