    Well, I went out and did my civic duty by exercising the right those who came before me fought and died for. Casting my vote for a women for president now belongs right up there with the the other historical milestones I participated in when I voted for John F. Kennedy, the first Catholic president, and Barack Obama, the first black one, not to mention being a witness to the Chicago Cubs winning their first world series in 108 years. Now what? Is the turmoil that America is currently experiencing the natural result of a republic where the diverse population gradually evolved into "a house divided against itself". Can we stand? Are we overacting? Will this hectic presidential campaign turn out to be "much ado about nothing" and the transition, instead, turn out to be an orderly one. Or, is the country about to become a runaway train that we're all aboard, with the next stop being Mayhem? Only Time will tell, and Time doesn't take sides. Me, I'm ready to take cover.
  2. Well, my vote has been cast; though Hillary did not exactly need it as she will win my district and state by a healthy margin I'm sure. CBS reported that Virgina, Texas, and New York were are at risk of a terrorist attack by al Qaeda before the election. There were no details or instructions on what we should do in reaction. Cynical me says, CBS are desperate and will do anything for clicks. I think folks in the Deep South have more to fear from American terrorism after the election...

    So here we are decades- have passed and I still see the black community are still saying we don't vote, what does our vote matter, and it doesn't matter who wins they're all crooked. Where is the grown ups in this picture. Where are the real men and women who stop being bullied and called boys . The real women who stop waiting for someone to open the door for them and decided to open the door for themselves. This is ridiculous and sad that we have not grown from this stage this act is child's play. We know that only children are not allowed to vote would we rather just not be allowed to vote and then we'll be fine. When Uncle Sam called himself giving us the opportunity to vote he didn't have to open the door and give us the key to unlock it because it was never in his power we could have taken it by force which in many ways we did it was inevitable to keep us up under oppression Why don't we see that we play games to close this election needs to be taken serious more serious . We see Hillary we say she's full of BS but Donald Trump poses a bigger threat we play into his hands by saying we won't vote Donald trump has been trying to stop this exact thing us voting why would I give him that victory While we are still holding our heads down our enemies are benefiting from us holding our heads down low don't hold your head down or up hold it straight and see this circus has just gotten real Donald Trump is nobody's friend this guy has been in trouble for connection with the Russian mafia he has plenty of friends notably in trouble for child sex rings he is a loser fake billionaire who scams people from their money and borrows money and loans from the bank and has filed for bankruptcy 6 times in 3 years lost 1 billion in a single casino in 1 year started trump mortgage at the heart of a recession and his advisor told him don't do it but did he listen no his fat head went ahead and failed at it in 2 years and then of course blamed it all on everyone around him see he talks a lot of crap and sells it to us but in the billionaires club he is known as a failure he wouldn't rent homes to African Americans yet he says he will help us Segregation is apparently what he sees for our future and not for our benefit we deserves the scraps according to his rules how will he help black homeowners and blacks with discrimination How will he help us with jobs if he doesn't even pay his employees he doesn't advocate fair pay his minimum wage is usually at 2.00 for Hispanics and Latinos who he sees as someone to wipe his nose on our future for our little girls in a Donald Trump dream world would having them on his date list He is disloyal he turned against the Clintons he turned against the republican party he said he was pro-choice than he said he was pro-life he than turned on the liberal party to join republican turned on republican became democrat then became republican again to run against Obama he even turned on Obama he turned on his lawyer concerning Ivan's his ex-wife rape case at the time his lawyer was defending him the way he taught him to defend him bully still he turned on him saying he distanced himself from him he turned on his nephew and purposely let him die or even more took his medical expenses from him and used it as bait against hiss mother and let him die what next will it bee America look at the evidence He says horrible things about America he pretends to be America only hope this sicko brags about his propagandist plans in how he's going to get votes and they still vote for him he lied when he said the media against him do you know how I know he was also caught bragging about how everyone loves him and no matter what he does they'll vote for him he said the election is rigged not for one second do I believe he feels this way not after he said he's going to say everything is rigged he is saying that just in case Hillary wins and also to throw off the attention from his surrogates and campaigners when they try it themselves He is a fraud
