Hi there! Here comes another report. Let me just say that I am pissed as much as any other citizen about the latest police brutality in Minneapolis. We really have to say it out loud, white nationalists were allowed to invade a state capitol with AK-47s sitting one inch from cops and nothing happened, but when black protest in the street, they’re attacked with tear gas. What is this shit? This is embarrassing for our country. I am brown. Do you realize what would happen if I walked down the street with a weapon? I’d get shot on sight! Thankfully I’m so liberal I’m left handed, and my only weapon of choice is a large bamboo stick. Look, I can’t be Obama’s Angry Translator forever. We got about 5 more months until Election Day. Do you remember those scenes in movies where the dude says “hold….”hold…..." then he says “go now!” That’s essentially our state of affairs. We need to hang on this goddamn situation for about 5 more months, then we vote. I want Bernie Sanders president, but if we can’t get that, we vote for Joe Biden. We need a Democrat in the White House, because the GOP has been exposed. They’ve been exposed for only caring about rich people and making tax cuts just for them, letting the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. We need Bernie Sanders’ policies to jumpstart our Economy again. An Economy that works for every American. Not for the Pundits on CNBC who just yap and yap and yap, trying to support Trump while 100,000 people died. How many times does Bernie Sanders have to explain to you that Democratic Socialism is not the same as Soviet Union Communism? Listen to him, damnit.

There’s a new documentary on Dalai Lama, I’m so excited.

Remember, keep your cool. We got less than 160 days until Election Day. We can do this. Remember what the ancestors of our great nation had to deal with during WW II. Surely you can stay home, quarantine/isolate, hang it there, until we can mass produce a vaccine for COVID19. Hopefully doctors can get this done within the next 12 months, and not 18 months.

Until next time!
