        Heartbreaking. Bet chump says nothing. So far he has said shit about the deaths of soldiers, young black men killed by police, parkland, etc. He is just a horrible person.

        I almost hope he says nothing tomorrow rather than mucking with my memories. Don't need his hatred or his platitudes! I do so appreciate your insightful tweets and photos, Mr. Beschloss

        I have to agree. Because he will muck it up. I appreciate Mr. Beschloss as well.

        I don’t know why but the hairbrush always breaks my heart. It’s so personal and private.

        I remember at a very young age the assasinations of JFK, Malcom X, MLK, RFK. Watching each on a small B&W TV so scared, my parents trying to console/explain what was happening and why. The what, yes, OK understood. The why, still 50+ years later, I understand and wish I didn’t.

        A wonderful “This American Life” episode, “Kid Logic” has a section about Jesus and MLK that punches me in the gut every time I listen. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/605/kid-logic-2016 … starting at about 10:50. (But the whole episode is outstanding, some quite funny.)

        This just makes me infentesimally sad, I see I'm not alone. But he did leave us with a lot to think about and act on. Not like someone like Trump who will only leave us with nightmares.

        I was sitting on the beach at Waikiki when word went around that RFK had been assassinated. There was dead silence for a second, then you could hear crying.
