There are good people everywhere, surely, but sometimes it helps to be reminded.

Shouldn't Governor Cuomo refuse this? The letter is clearly addressed to "Mr." Cuomo, not GOVERNOR Cuomo. Has Kayleigh McEnany scolded us all for nothing?

Like many of us, he sees Cuomo as a straight talker. Wanted to do his part to help. There are so many good people in this country.

Of death on his watch. He is working hard for everyone. And then there is trump stepping on other people’s work.

I know there are good-hearted people that walk among us but, the morons always seem to present themselves.

Every time I get so depressed about our situation, some fellow citizen somewhere does something selfless and amazing to remind me that, for the most part, we are a decent people who care for one another, and we can never let the sad clown prez dancing on the stage make us forget that.

I love that farmer from Kansas so much right now.

There are still lovely people in this world. I hope Dennis and Shirley in Kansas stay safe and live long and prosper.
