Day 1017 of the #WorstPresidentEver; we can just hope that he and his Cult go away and go away quickly.
You guys are building an awesome community; we’re seeing some of our best days and more ahead because the circus (open to the public impeachment testimonies) is coming to town.
Again, thanks for your Community Submissions; sorry if we cannot get to them immediately; we try.

Music:
1978-The Police release their debut album: Outlandos d’Amour.
1984-Marvin Gay Sr., father of singer Marvin Gaye (who added the e when he joined Motown) is found guilty of manslaughter in the shooting death of his son, but courts rule the action was taken in self-defense, and the elder Gay is given five years’ probation.
Although Marvin Gaye’s What’ Going On was released in 1971, watch the the very powerful video posted above for 2019’s version of what’s still disgustingly going on. Some things never change. Pass the tissue, seriously.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend; they sure fly by.
