Just One Word

If there are any Western civilization history buffs in this community they can call me out on this.
Did you know that Julius Caesar quieted a riotous mob with just one word?
He said: “Citizens.”
Our fearless leader, on the other hand, chose the word: “DOMINATE”.
And threw in a few extra words like “fools” and “jerks” and "weak" and an historical quote that was A BLAST FROM THE PAST GOOD OLD HAPPY DAYS.
Well! You can't say our POTUS doesn't know his American history.

Good morning!
It's the second day of June 2020 and we US citizens still have “miles to go before we sleep”.
Hey! I can use quotes too!
Protests following the death of George Floyd, a black man who pleaded that he couldn't breathe while he was held down with a knee by a former Minneapolis police officer, have spread nationwide. Follow here for the latest updates.

I think we've been asleep for far too long, if you ask me.. I do like the reference though as I love that poem.

I am just happy that I didnt immigrate to that country because the political climate has been nasty. I even notice many racist become confident to express their bigotry much more freely now.

I hope the Australian journalists are OK. I saw them get beat up by our policemen.

@cmoneyspinner It seems they were just pushed around a bit - thank goodness.

@JudyEv - Yes. Thank goodness. Sometimes journalists are like the referees in a fighting match. They're not supposed to get hit but sometimes they get punched instead of the opponent.
