“We are going to do something that I will say is slightly controversial but it shouldn’t be. We are going to indemnify policemen and precincts and states and cities from being sued. We want them to do their job. Our police and law enforcement has to come back and they want to come back and they want to do their job. And we are going to indemnify them so they don’t lose their wife, their family, their pension, and their job. We are going to indemnify policemen and law enforcement. We are going to tell them to get out, we love you, do your job.” – Trump, speaking last night at the New York Young Republicans Club gala.

    I did eventually get it, but you might have been better off saying “Jan 6” instead of MM/DD format.

      Yeah, makes better sense that way. 01/06 means something to me though. Got the PTSD merit badge and all. And that’s not a facetious comment. Can’t watch the videos, can barely glance at a pic, can’t even think about it except in terms that abstract away the reality.

      When my Pilipino wife asked me about it (she wasn’t here at the time), I cried and yelled and cursed. Babbling like a madman trying to explain that day.

      And that’s all I can talk about ATM.
