Has anybody here seen my friend Bobby? Along with Abraham, Martin, and John?

58 years ago today and I was just a kid but it still hurts. We lost Bobby and got Nixon.

2. Such a sad song, that brought tears to my eyes then, and now.

Somewhere I read a post or article that said that when Bobby was killed the dream of America that could be, died. We were then blessed/cursed with Nixon, Reagan, Bush I and II, and the ultimate piece of shit Trump.

Where would the nation be - if Bobby had survived - I always thought that he was the best of us.

What we ended up with, are the worse of us.

4. The last republican who was elected without cheating or was the legacy of cheating was Dwight E. ...

….. in 1956. Gerald Ford* was a decent man but he was never elected and poisoned America by
pardoning Nixon. In 1968 LBJ had a peace deal set up with Vietnam but Nixon had that deal
stopped and the war went on for another 4 1/4 years and in January of ‘73 the exact same deal
that LBJ had done in ‘68. He should have been held accountable for that alone.

This nation is in a dark place right now. Republicans own the electoral processes so even though
they are the minority they keep winning. Musk and Thiel’s fingerprints are all over the ‘24 election.

* When he was President his golden retriever took a dump in the Oval Office and as other people
were rushing to clean it up Jerry stopped them saying, “I don’t expect any man to clean up after
my dog.”
