That t-shirt makes me both nauseous and infuriated.

Nothing easy is really worth it!! We might not make it though this to the end, but we (all) will see this though to the end.

Thanks for the words of encouragement Fred. And isn’t it kind of funny how the fools will always point themselves out?

I was at that parade too. We were surprised/dismayed with the State Police protection for that one group. Also I was surprised at the number of people carrying Kennedy signs—really didn’t expect that. Otherwise just a very nice small town parade and boy it was hot!

Looking at that t shirt made me ill. As you say, it is his right to advertise what a horrible person he is but I don’t truly understand how people can glorify something like that. The blood lust that implies is staggering.

MAGA has managed to totally corrupt simple concepts like bravery, honesty, and strength. I remember that interview Hannity did with Newsom not too long ago when he had the gall to ask how Biden's "strength" compared to Trump. The audacity of these guys taking for granted that Trump is "strong" is God damned ridiculous. While that interview was happening Hunter Biden was being prosecuted. President Biden has buried a wife, a son, and an infant daughter. Unlike Trump, Biden truly loves his kids. Nonetheless he stood aside, even leaving the Trump-appointed prosecutor in charge of the case. Biden risked losing his only remaining child because he has such a belief in the rule of law that he's willing to sacrifice almost anything to protect the integrity of our legal system. That, to my mind, is true strength of character. Trump does nothing but prey on the weak, and he even sold out his own daughter because she criticized him for 1/6. The same hypocrisy applies to the MAGA view of bravery and violence. They think Kid Rock shooting up a bunch of Bud Lite cans is a real manly move, but they still make fun of John McCain who, regardless of his politics, was a war hero who endured YEARS of the most brutal torture the VC could come up with. No, to them real bravery is Mr. Bone Spurs encouraging attacks on trans kids. It's disgusting.
