I've worked with public safety agencies (city, country, state and federal) for 15 years. Most people don't realize that most of these government professionals are dedicated, service-oriented people. It's amazing what they're willing to do and put up with for less money than the private sector. What's also amazing is how good these people are. These are talented people with tons of knowledge. Had the politicians listened to them during the pandemic, this country would have done a lot better job getting through the crisis.

Rightwing media have poisoned their reputation with lies, slurs and a constant stream of hateful negative agitprop for decades. Reagan started the now widely believed lie that " the government is the problem" It's stark in its simplicity, catchy and completely false.

I blamed George on GMA for giving Donald Trump so much 'free' TV time back when he won. Now I know George had to give orange man daily time, his network must have been forcing him to do so. It is so scary to think DJT didn't care if his VP Pence was murdered. I will go to my grave never understanding anyone wanting such an awful man, a many times convicted felon, a serial cheater, and horrible businessman another turn at the White House...

I am now and was then fundamentally opposed to the political positions Mike Pence holds/held, but I was terrified for his safety as well as the safety of ALL other members of Congress (Democratic or Republican), and the adjacent staff and security personnel. THAT is what makes most of us left of center differ from most of those right of center.
@lisalivingston64736 ай бұрын
@carolynblakeney966 I agree. I find it disturbing how former President Trump treats his supporters and victims as collateral damage. He could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any votes. I feel for the poor hypothetical person just minding their own business walking down 5th Avenue not realizing that at any point some crazy wanna be President is about to shoot them. Mr. Trump put a target on the back of VP Pence and unleashed the rioters to seek out Mr. Pence for lynching. Trump supporters were hurt and killed during the Jan. 6 insurrection, but they were simply pieces on Mr. Trump's board of checkers (let's be honest...chess is much too complicated for him). Even after being told that someone had been shot at the Capitol, Mr. Trump refused to tell the rioters to stand down and go home. He relishes any violence that is committed in his name, and I find that attitude truly reprehensible.

It's pretty much the ONLY thing Ms Haberman should be asked at this point in time, given it's relevance to platforming a candidate who was engaging in election interference in 2016 and was turning to her to get his messaging out.
