Screwing everyone who gets in your way or questions you or tries to control you when you are totally out of control and destroying everything that matters? Why else seek power if not to crush them? Right?
Is there some underground school that educates cops about how to survive murdering unarmed young black men? They seem to do it regularly. Dumb luck or education?

I guess it would be a perfect storm of positive to pull it off wouldn't it? A miracle? A happy ending? Better yet a happy beginning of better things to come?

But what will happen in all the other days that ever come can depend on what you do today " Jordan also says"The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it".Senator McCain first read the novel when he was 12. I thought that was a rather impressive read for a 12-year-old.Former President Obama also said the followingIt doesn't matter what our blood line is, what we look like, our last names, where our parents/grandparents came from or how recently they arrived What unites us is the belief that all of us are created equal and endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights among which are life... less

There were some performers (Ariana Grande for one) and some speakers. Did one appearance stand out for you?

Thy people shall be my people and thy God my God"Said by Naomi to Ruth, her beloved mother-in-law in the Bible. We find that (most of us) inspirational and admirable.When it is implied/stated by political supporters of a crooked corrupt treasonous politician? It is reprehensible/shameful.
