Everyone go now to CNN or HBO Max and watch "LIVE AID" documentary, and I'll tell you why. [View all]

Many of you have already seen it, but the reason to watch it again or for the first time is to see how we must rid ourselves of someone who would call that a “shit hole country.“

We must repair this country so that NONE OF US would walk past starving children and do nothing, and not care.

This is battle of life and death for real. Not just for us but for everyone on this fucking planet.
