Something to think about before calling it a night (Part 1)

On this day June 17th 1918, Eugene Debs gave his famous anti-war (WWI) speech, which landed him in jail.

“The working class have never yet had a voice in declaring war. If war is right, let it be declared by the people – you, who have your lives to lose.”

"In the Middle Ages when the feudal lords . . .concluded to enlarge their domains, to increase their power, their prestige and their wealth they declared war upon one another. But they themselves did not go to war any more than the modern feudal lords, the barons of Wall Street, go to war. "

Then you would have President Harris. :flushed: Pretty sure (hopefully) Ol’ Joe isn’t going for a second term. Hopefully, neither is the Orange Blimp. Get somebody actually qualified to take on the position.

Read through this list and you’ll realize the most qualified president has already been elected.

Not going to bother wasting my time on that Martin. The reason Biden is in office is because voters wanted Dump gone. Even Republicans voted against him. Plus, the only reason he got elected, is because people didn’t want Hillary (including me) but hey, she won the popular vote but not the electoral. 2016 and 2020 were lose or lose years for some of us that don’t associate with the two extreme parties.
