1. What a difference a conscience makes.

And a mind.

[CTyankee]

2. thank you. For those of us who lived through the Vietnam War period, it is especially poignant...

LBJ looks simply grief stricken. I've never seen that photo before...

thanks, kpete...

3. Pain and joy. Heavy hearted and light hearted. n/t

15. More like dark-hearted.

How unbelievable are these times?

4. And LBJ decided not to run for re-election in 1968 because of Vietnam war mistakes.

[LastDemocratInSC]

5. Johnson announced he would not seek reelection

Which is what dumb ass should do. But that action requires a conscience and a sense of duty to the nation.

6. I found this for you ...

9. Is that the same room where Nancy Pelosi asked the POS, "Do all roads lead to Putin?"

[marble falls]

12. Could well be. There's been some realignmet of space at the WH over the years.

14. The fireplace on the back wall seen in both images, LBJ's and the recent Pelosi/Trump image,

looks the same. They could have put in the large niche in the wall next to the fireplace since 1968?

11. I want to wipe that shit-eating grin right off that fucker's face

13. "I shall not seek, and will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term......"

Oh please make it so

[NNadir]

16. This should be part of a television ad during the campaign. n/t.

[TheBlackAdder]

17. Who's the asshole with the shit eating grin again?

[uponit7771]

18. THIS IS HEARTBREAKING !!!

[IronLionZion]

19. 41,316 and Trump got it so much faster

He always campaigned on taking America backward. People assumed it would be something else, like back before diversity and civil rights or something like that. No one expected the Spanish Inquisition, er... 1918 pandemic.

20. Hope you don't mind but I took your concept and put it on Facebook.

Thank you.

[kpete]

23. That is why I put it out there

Take anything you want
especially when it makes DT look bad!

peace,
kp

24. Thought as much -

Here was the caption I put above the two pictures -

Want to see the difference?
Lyndon Johnson in 1968 when American deaths in Vietnam reached 40,000.
pmurT 19 April 2020 when American Covid-19 deaths exceeded 40,000.
Talk among yourselves.
I'm going to go and have a shout at something.

As of this afternoon - 13:30 CEST - it has 9 comments and 50 shares.

Which means that it is getting a wide audience.

21. Somebody else's letter to the editor

***********QUOTE*******

Trump above serving country

Donald Trump did not serve during the Vietnam conflict.

Many Mexican Americans and other immigrants fought and died to protect the American values of truth, justice and freedom.

The Donald is above all that.

Truth? What’s that?

Justice: annihilate whistleblowers.

Freedom? Arrest and deport “aliens” who have quietly contributed to their communities in gratitude for the decent life America used to offer.
