G-20 MEETING……. HAMBURG, GERMANY….PART 1……This is how Chancellor Angela Merkel is preparing for her first meeting with Trump….I found this article and want to share it with you…..it was written by Benjamin Locke.
Here is the forecast for President Trump when he arrives in Hamburg to meet with world leaders at the G-20 Summit beginning July 7: Expect a chilly reception.
That is not a reference to the highly anticipated first face-to-face meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It is a prediction that the meetings of world leaders will be awkward because angry Europeans are preparing a unified response to Trump’s positions that have upset many of America’s closest long-standing allies.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who as host sets the agenda for the two days of meetings, lashed out at Trump for his positions on trade and climate change in a combative speech before the German parliament today predicting it will be a “very difficult” meeting but adding that she was “determined to send a signal” – without ever mentioning the American president by name.
Merkel told the German members of parliament that she has already consulted with other European leaders, including Emmanuel Macon of France, and they are preparing a united front against Trump on key issues, most notably on climate change.
“The European Union unconditionally stands by its agreement in Paris and will implement it,” said Merkel. “Since the U.S. decision to leave the Paris climate agreement, we are more determined than ever to make it a success.”
Merkel said that the Paris treaty is “irreversible and not negotiable.”
“We want to tackle this existential challenge,” added Merkel, “and we can’t and won’t wait until the last person on earth is convinced of the scientific basis for climate change.”
“The discord is obvious, and it would be dishonest to paper over the conflict,” said Merkel.
The German Chancellor is also still steaming over Trump’s remarks on trade with Germany after he called them “evil” and a “very bad” partner because they have a large positive trade balance with the U.S.
Merkel, who faces an election soon, even found unity with her main political rival, Martin Schultz after the rocky NATO meeting when both said it was no longer possible to rely on old alliances and that Europe must unite in response.
At a meeting of the Economic Council of the Christian Democratic Union (her political party), Merkel shot back at Trump over the issue of a trade imbalance.
“The fact we have ten times as much direct investment from Germany in the United States than there’s American investment in Germany has, of course…a strong effect on the many jobs we can create (in the U.S.)”
At the same meeting, Trump’s bumbling Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross was given ten minutes to speak via a satellite hookup after he said he was too busy to attend in person. When his rambling speech criticizing German trade ran over the allotted time, he was cut off, bringing hearty applause and laughter from the Germans.
This morning before the German parliament, in a clear broadside at Trump, Merkel told the German legislators: “Anyone who believes the problems of this world can be solved with isolationism and protectionism is making a huge mistake.”
When Trump first met Merkel in Washington, the press noted that he avoided eye contact with her and failed to shake her hand for the cameras. Now it is Merkel, one of the most popular and longest-serving leaders in the world, who is ready to shake up Trump, one of the least popular and newest leaders.
“One shouldn’t expect any easy conversations in Hamburg,” Merkel told the German legislators, promising they would conduct the meetings in a manner that would “serve the climate.”
“To gloss over the disagreements,” added Merkel, “would be disingenuous.”
Trump is a bully who is used to getting his way, or at least acting like he won the day, but this time the whole world will be watching as America’s isolationist president finds himself increasingly isolated.
He will be among leaders of stature with proven records who understand what he cannot seem to grasp – that the world is too connected, complex and dangerous not to stand together, even if one ill-informed, ill-mannered, egotistic newbie leader insists on standing apart.
G-20 MEETINGS…….PART 2……Germany is asking Erdogan to not address the Turkish population who live in Germany during the G-20 meetings….Putin is staying in the middle of the damn city…..and that messes up everything….transportation, shopping….walking….Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party is no longer describing the United States as a “Friend”…..the United States will be flying predator drones over the city of Hamburg….there are snipers on the roof across the street from where my wife works……there are two security zones set up to prevent violence reaching the meeting areas…….and if you live within the security zones….you will need ID cards to get in and out….riot police are already clashing with protesters….detention centers have been set up miles away from the city…..the police have already seized knives, baseball bats, gas masks and fire bombs at different locations around the city…..and the police are not playing man…they are taking this shit seriously….if you want to experience what a police state feels like….come up here…..oh, did I mention the Saudi Arabian guy who’s dropping in?…..the one who took over two of the most expensive hotels in the city?….because he’s traveling with over 600 people…..and he’s bring his camels with him…..and a few lambs…..and a solid gold staircase so he can walk down it…while he exits his private plane…..I was taking pictures…..was walking towards the subway….and a police officer asked me what I was taking pictures of…..and I showed him….which was nothing…they would deem….a threat…..and then I told him I have two cousins who are police officers in Germany…..and a few back home who are federal agents….and I totally respect law enforcement….before I left I said to him… “I’m sorry you have to waste…. your time on my idiot president” ….he laughed and said…. “Me too, but I really feel sorry for you because he’s your president”…..shops are covering their windows all over town…the town is basically empty except for protestors and tourists….and if the tourists were smart….they would catch a train to another city…..streets are blocked off…..water cannons are out…..and the cops look like something out of a George Lucas film……the street where Trump is staying…..you know, the one near our apartment….has so many police officers and special I don’t know what they are in front of his joint…..it’s insane……divers are hanging out in the lake….firemen are building God knows what…..I was so nervous and scared when I walked by Trump’s place…..I thought they would stop me just because I was walking by….it was that “COP LOOK”…..man I got the hell away from that place…..and while I’m typing this…..two demonstrations are starting up right now…..one in the city center…..and another one in our favorite area called Sternschanze…..and the so-called Leftists young people don’t play man…..they fight….and that’s their favorite area to fight in…..it gets real ugly….and they don’t care because “THEY BELIEVE”…..and will fight for what they think is right….I was there a few hours ago…I saw them loading stuff into vans and cars……I watched the police vans cruise by…..and cruise by again……and again…….I got the hell out of there…..and right now…..for the left-people….the G-20 and all the political B.S. that goes with it….is wrong….think about it people….we still have “TWO DAYS” to wait until this party kicks off….before the shit hits the fan….this is the first time I’m living in a city that’s going on lock down and it’s pretty scary…..Nicole already told me I’m picking her up from work today…..and I will…..because for now….the city has a plan on how to deal with this upcoming madness……but no one knows what the hell is going to happen….or even if that plan will work…..the one thing I’ve learn since I’ve been living here is this…..Germany does not play when it comes to controlling shit…..they are serious…..I don’t know what to expect….because this is my first time dealing with something of this magnitude….but there are two things I do know…..1)….you don’t get to be old by being a fool……2)….and Moses and Catherine didn’t raise any stupid children…..so we’ll deal with it…..from a distance……oh shit, sorry I gotta go shopping…..we need to stock up for the weekend….because when Friday comes….we’re watching the events….on the sofa……the one thing that still baffles a lot us is….why are they having this gathering in the middle of the city…and disrupting the normal flow of life…..when there are so many remote locations outside of the city?…..and remember the third of the people living in Hamburg….who wanted to leave the city this weekend?….that number is now up to 90% of the people in Hamburg….who want to get the hell out of Dodge City…..and Trump received a surprise welcome when he landed in Poland…..someone decided to shine the words…. “No to Trump – yes to Paris” on one of the government buildings.
G-20 MEETINGS……..PART 3……Remember I told you a few days ago…that Hamburg was going to turn into a major cluster you know what?…..man, you have no idea….transportation was basically non-existing….and today…..forget it….the police were nice enough to include our apartment in the Red Zone….no one asked us if we wanted to be here….so that means….if we want to go somewhere….put on a pair of Nikes and get moving….because there isn’t a thing running in our area…no cars, no busses, no taxis…..walk……I went to catch the bus yesterday…because I ran out of coffee….and it never showed…so I decided to walk up the street and catch another one and go to a different shop to get it…..I get to the bus stop….and see a traffic jam that reminded me why I’m so glad I don’t commute to work in L.A. anymore.…..cops blocked the streets and turned all the traffic onto another street…..which didn’t make shit any better…..because the traffic….that normally passes by where Trump is staying….couldn’t use the street…so they pushed it all together….and no one could move….then….they pushed the traffic from another street…..into the mess they created a few blocks over….and no that didn’t help the previous mess I mentioned earlier….and I continued to walk….and I walked pass a lot of police officers….with machine guns and wearing Star Wars gear….cop vans everywhere….and more streets were blocked off….I walked pass the Meridan Hotel and saw a few wire-heads standing outside….and I walked right pass them….I didn’t even look at the pins on their lapels to see which country they were representing….or ask who they were protecting….you see….the security in this city is sick….you don’t want to do something stupid….that,….and the fact that there was a female wire-head standing guard also…..and she looked like….if I pissed her off or did something stupid….that woman would’ve beat the shit out of me….so I kept walking….and kept seeing more and more cops….and those cool looking blue water cannon trucks/tanks…..and then I get to the Atlantic Hotel….where people with lots of zero’s behind the first number in their bank account stay…..and I felt as if I’d walked onto an army base that’s on alert….I saw that and said “FUCK!”…..I said it to myself….because didn’t want to draw too much attention to myself….even though I was a black man walking down the street….with a camera in my hand…and wearing a sweatshirt that said…. “Amsterdam”….thank goodness I didn’t twist one up and bring it with me…..anyway,….I wanted to take the shortcut to where I needed to go….but all the streets were blocked….and when you see 7 police vans….and cops standing on the corner of the street you want to use as a shortcut with machine guns in their hands…..you normally don’t walk up and say…. “Yo dog, is it cool I take the shortcut to where I wanna go?”…..no…you take the long way….later I found out why all that chaos was happening…..Angie and Donnie were going to sit down and have a little chat at the Atlantic …..and when Donnie finally arrived in Hamburg……after having a not so good time in Poland…..the police blocked off…a 16-block radius for this fool….people were walking…..I mean walking wherever they had to go….the only thing running was the subway….I’m happy we live within walking distance from a lot of stuff….but some people….if they keep walking….they might be home by Sunday…..I walked six miles….before I could catch the train…..I’m going to change the subject for a minute….we’re watching the “Welcome To Hell” demonstration right now on TV…..and it is not going good….the police stopped the demonstration because they wanted some….sorry…a lot of the protesters to remove the scarfs and mask which were covering their faces….they said no….the cops said well then you can’t go any further….it must be a facial recognition issue….something just happened and now the protest is going… “TO HELL”….the police are using water cannons on non-trouble makers right now….smoke bombs are going off….it’s like watching Braveheart…..the king and his troops are fighting the pheasants….and there goes a tear gas canister….one officer is having fun spraying mace in the faces of protesters….and the cops are lined up and ready to go….this can only get more uglier….many people came there to cause problems….and their idea is working….there’s over 20,000 cops covering this demo….people are throwing bottles, cans and bicycles at the cops…..and since the people started it….the police reacted….some left-radicals are running around with baseball bats in their hands….many innocent people are trying to get clear of the mess but can’t…because they’re caught up in the mix….and the police are forcing people to flee towards the Elbe river….and if people start falling in the river…that is not going to look good in their favor….the protesters wanted to gather at a place called the Fishmarkt…and when you look it at…..you’ll see the place is a trap….only three ways out….and the police had control of all three…..well there is a fourth….if you feel like jumping into the river….and swim to the other side…..people are actually standing in front of the police….with their hands in the air….seriously…. “Hands Up – Don’t Shoot”…..really people?…..you live in freakin´Germany….so that demo is over….the EMT people are helping the hurt ones….and there are still thousands of people hanging around….why do I think this was a test run for the radicals….to find out how the police would react…..because as soon as everything started jumping off…..they were gone!…..and now the left-radical people are walking down the streets and tearing shit up….and starting fires…they are here to cause problems….and that’s a shame….and I am so tired of hearing that goddamn ghetto-bird flying over our apartment….day and night……you do know the G-20 kicks off today….if last night was a preview….. I’m scared to know what happens next….but hey, look on the bright side….there’s another demo happening right now……and it’s called the “Rave/Love Parade Demo”…..people have their signs voicing their opinions….but instead of causing an uproar…. everyone is listening to music….and dancing……oops, sorry the other demo one is not over…..and it does not look good….it’s unbelievable….the cops are three-deep….three-deep with everything you would need to invade a small country…..….spraying them with water…and pushing them towards a certain area….it’s kinda funny watching this…..the police are spraying everybody….they don’t care…you in the way….you getting hit…..firemen, ambulance people…..other cops….news reporters…..kids….old people….so a few cars are burning and someone broke into a bank…..probably the smartest person in Hamburg…..since all the cops are pretty busy somewhere else right now…..Hamburg should’ve paid attention to what happened in Seattle, Washington….having the G-20 meetings in the middle of the city…..is like give that guy who broke into the bank….the keys to the bank….don’t worry….the night is still young…later is when things get really interesting….you wanna know what’s really scary….it’s not to demonstrations….it’s the stillness in the city….the quietness…..apartments all over Hamburg are dark and it seems like the city is in a coma.
G-20 MEETINGS……Part 4…..While you slept….the protesters were pretty busy….they decided to set a lot of cars on fire…..from the videos I posted online….all you see is black bellowing smoke in the skies over the city….the police are telling people to stay in their homes….do not go outside is basically what they’re saying….well I’m going out in a few minutes….because the jackpot for the lottery is 46 million…and we can use that….so I’ll make sure I have my ID with me…since we’re in the so-called Red Zone….right now I could use a stinger rocket….because those helicopters hovering in the air to protect Trump…are getting on my last nerve….all night and now this morning…he’s over by the lake…go make noise over there….. just kidding…..oh yeah,….word on the street is that Trump isn’t staying there…..he’s staying somewhere else….and they want people to think he is….just in case they want to stop by and protest in front of his place…..and the German newspapers are tearing Trump a new butthole…. “Donald Trump has transformed the United States into a laughing stock and he is a danger to the world. He must be removed from the White House before things get worse. He is a man free of morals. As been demonstrated hundreds of times, he is a liar, a racist and a cheat. I feel ashamed to use these words, as sharp and loud as they are. But if they apply to anyone, they apply to Trump. And one of the media’s tasks is to continue telling things as they are: Trump has to be removed from the White House. Quickly. He is a danger to the world.”…..it’s not like the reporter is lying….he is a danger….this reporter compared him to the kid king in Game of Thrones……and people protesting this G-20 meeting….do not like him….nor Putin….nor the other idiot from Turkey……as of 10:12 am my time…..the leftist-radicals are marching through the city…..setting random cars on fire….and destroying stuff…..it’s not a pretty picture….but that’s their plan….and like I said….this is the first day and it’s not going to get any better…. gangs are walking the streets….selecting random cars,….smashing the passenger windows….and tossing lit flares inside….seriously,….the police posted online that the radical people have a list of areas they want hit….Harvestehude….Rothenbaum….Pöseldorf…..and Winterhude…..if they continue on to Mühlenkamp…..Barmbek/Sud is next…..and that’s where we live…..I look at it this way….as long as you don’t try to bust up in our apartment…..you’ll live to see another day….thousands of non-violent protesters are marching right now towards the city center….and the coolest thing about the G-20 group photograph….was that they put Trump way on the left side of the photo…and his old grumpy ass….was looking grumpy….I was outside earlier….and yeah I did play the lottery…..and if we win….we’ll post pictures…..anyway,….it’s like a normal day…just less people….schools in…..people are going to work…..and the buses are screwed up….well, that’s everyday….but today…..just a little bit more…..a friend of ours sent a picture…..showing the German Army getting prepared outside the city….in case they have to move in on a moment’s notice…..Nicole’s mom is so pissed off about all of this happening in HH….she said…. “If I meet one of those assholes….what I would do to them would be worse than being locked up in a Russian Gulag prison camp”…..I have no idea what it’s like to be locked up in a Gulag…..but if you read One Day in the life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzhenitsyn….you’ll realize that’s one serious ass whoopin’ she’s gonna put on someone….Putin and Dumbo decided to have their private talk….while all the other representatives wanted to discuss climate change…..do they realize they need the world….more than the world needs them?…..and CNN…get it straight ok?…..the demos aren’t happening because Trumpy and Poop are meeting….they’re protesting for other reasons…..climate change, human rights, end of starvation, refugees, the economy…..and more….so if you’re going to tell it…..tell it right….this isn’t about America….because the world can now talk to and do more business with China now…..thanks to Trump….they don’t need us anymore…so let me get back to Sternschanze…..remember,….our favorite area?…..there are so many people there….and they are ready to fight….I mean….they are ready to throw down with the cops….in front of a huge bonfire….in the middle of the street….the cops don’t want to advance any further…..because they think it’s a trap….and that’s a good move…..because there are only 500 cops against…maybe 2,000 people waiting for them….people have taken over construction sites…and rooftops….if I was in Las Vegas…..and the police decided to…..do the charge of the light brigade….my money is on the people…..St. Pauli is on fire….and thousands are there….hanging out on the Reeperbahn…..trust me,….the Ho’s ain’t making a dime tonight…the trains are shut down….the left-radicals are organized….to a T!….Spain, France, Hungary, England, Italy, old East Block countries and let’s not forget Russian hooligans….all of them are there….word on the street is….they speak in code and move when a code word is spoken…..I hate to say it….but there aren’t enough cops….and they can’t be everywhere…..the next host of the G-20…..needs to talk to DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency)…..and borrow a lot of robots….so far….over 100 cops have been hurt….don’t know how many people have future court appearances….the police are going house to house…..and clearing out everything….they even have a ghetto-bird over our favorite area….which is on fire right now….I’m still trying to understand why people are walking around….with their hands in the air…..a German cop is not going to shoot you….shit, I know a German cop won’t shoot me….and that’s nice to know…..and now it’s 12:16 in the morning…..and people are….still acting stupid…..some are going home….now that it’s getting late……the games….will begin….again…I hope your car is ok.
G-20 MEETINGS…….PART 5…..Sirens…..helicopters…..sirens…..helicopters…..that’s all we’ve heard….day and night for the past four days…..remember I mentioned that the left-radicals were protesting in our favorite area….Sternschanze….last night?….they destroyed the area….shops were trashed and broken into….and they stripped a supermarket bare….so, I guess it’ll be awhile before Nicole and I can shop there again……the city banning protest marches yesterday didn’t work….because there were a lot of them….and now that it’s Saturday….more hell should break loose…and if you think they trashed Sternschanze last night…..wait until tonight…..I took a walk through the area….and people were busy putting their stores and their lives back together….you could smell the smoke from last night still in the air….news reporters were all over the streets….and the cops also….to tell you the truth…I feel sorry for the police officers who had to come from other cities to deal with this….some of them have been coping with this madness for over 48 hours straight….and not enough sleep in between…..photos have been posted of them sleeping on floors, in corners….wherever and whenever they can….and 200 of them have been injured by the protesters so far….really glad our cousin isn’t part of this mess…and the mayor of Hamburg said before the G-20 kicked off….that it would be so quiet, people won’t even notice the G-20 was being held in Hamburg….well guess what buddy….you were dead wrong….and now people want him to resign from office….the entire world knows were a G-20 meeting is held….and please prove to me when one was not disruptive….there’s a demo going on right now….and the cops are giving the protesters water showers already….it came to a point where someone who is in control of dealing with this….called someone who is in more control of dealing with this and probably said… “Yo dog, we need some more cops up in this mother…..er”…and then they started coming from all over the country….the protesters are saying the ones from Bayern (the Munich area)…are the most aggressive….Nicole pointed out something very interesting last night….the news is paying more attention to the protesters and rioters….and not telling us what the ones in charge are talking about….no info about the G-20érs….or what they plan to accomplish after this B.S. meeting….and while the world leaders sat in a concert hall…..listening to classical music….Hamburg burned…..a good friend sent me a link…. “Law enforcement & military did a spectacular job in Hamburg, Everybody felt safe despite the anarchists….@PolizeiHamburg…..#G20Summit…..so far the “Black Bloc”…..that’s what the idiots are calling themselves….haven’t started trashing our area…..which is good….because we don’t have the extra cash to bail me out of jail….just in case one of them wants to act stupid….I can’t take the sirens and ghetto-birds anymore….I want this to be over….NOW!……and the city is even more emptier….I don’t know where most of the population of Hamburg went….but they got the hell out of here….it’s easy to notice they left….because there are way too many parking places available…..it’s 5:37 and the best news so far is….Trump is getting ready to board Air Force one….and get the hell out of here….now he can fly back home and be your problem again….and don’t you dare send him over here again…..the one person I have the most respect for is the reporter for the TV news station N24…..he has been hassled, spat on, kicked, pushed and shoved around, watered by the police and disrespected by the protesters…for three days he has had to deal with that and more…to report on what’s happening….big respect man…. the police are catching hell with the press…on how they handled the mess this weekend…..I think they did a good job…..they blocked and flanked and moved it all in the direction they wanted it to go…….at least they didn’t shoot anyone….one cop is in trouble for firing his gun in the air when he was surrounded by protesters….and now he has to explain why he fired his gun….give the man a break….at least he chose to scare them away….instead of doing what most cops back home would’ve chose to do….were the cops aggressive?…..sure….you try doing their job when you have over 50,000 people screaming at you and hating you…..look on the bright side…..they did not shoot anyone….back home….what happened last night in Sternschanze….there would’ve been bodies all over the street…..6 pm and Trump is gone….I’m gonna have a drink to celebrate….be right back……ok, I had two…..anyway,….I noticed one thing since Trump left to fly back home…. “NO GHETTO-BIRD NOISE”….they are calling this G-20 meeting…G-Trump…because he refused to be part of what the other world leaders want to accomplish when it comes to helping the world….Trump said no…. “I’m putting America first”…..so the other leaders said…. “Fine. Fuck you, we don’t need you. We’ll go our own way together. Good luck asshole.”…. and then Trumpy hopped on his plane and flew off into the sunset….while the other leaders hung around to talk some more….19 countries said yes….he said no……to climate change….and why in the hell was his daughter attending meetings for him when his sorry ass should be there…..so now a fashion designer will be making important decisions for America?….he has no idea….always wanting to make America first….is actually making America….last….I don’t know what they show you back home on the news….probably the latest person shot in your neighborhood…..but here….no one gives a damn about America anymore….and that is something ya’ll need to seriously think about….we need to getting rid of him….or find a way to shut him down…. we’re becoming that kid in the playground…. nobody wants to play with….and Putin had the nerve to say Trump seemed satisfied with him denying he had anything to do with the election….really people?…..let him go…..I’m definitely liking the new French president….he decided to take a walk along the lake….and talk to people….Trump didn’t give a shit about anything…except having his private meeting with Poo-Poo from Russia….and the news is really trying to build up the riots last night…..they keep saying there was so much chaos happening in Sternschanze….that wasn’t anywhere near what Webster’s Dictionary describes as chaos….chaos is ….Syria, Iraq, South Sudan, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Venezuela…..that shit is chaos……what happened last night I can deal with….looters….NYC when the lights went out….and I was stuck in Jersey…..and people burning down stuff….I could start in the 60’s….but the list is too long….and the police….next!….that was nowhere near chaos…..my brother and his daughter visited us a few weeks ago…..their trip was short….but the travel plan was nice….first in Munich…then Berlin…and next Hamburg…..we hung out in Sternschanze….and I showed them another side….the area is similar to how it was in The Village (NYC) back in the early 80’s….cool and relaxed….but political….and Sternschanze is known to be a hub for political activity…..you think that was bad last night….book a trip here to see what happens on May 1st…..last night was something different….a bunch of assholes who call themselves… The Black Bloc…went there and escalated things….that was not Sternschanze….even when people protest….it never comes to that….ok, shit is going to be broken…but the fires?….and the threat of violence?….they will fight….but not like last night….nah….and I give it to the police….it might’ve taken them 3 hours to get the area under control…..but they didn’t jump in the pool….before seeing if there was any water in it….finally, this is soon over…and I thank every existing God and spirit for letting us survive this nightmare……because I would not wish this experience on anyone…..I hope another diplomat, world leader or even the Pope never comes to visit Hamburg again….hey, I like the Pope….but if you lived through what we just went through….mentally, physical and emotionally……you wouldn’t want your cousin visiting you…..oh, one more thing….before we went to bed…..Sternschanze erupted again….and cars are burning in Altona…..again!
G-20 MEETINGS…..ARE OVER!…..Thank goodness…..hopefully the city will go back to abnormal again….it wasn’t as bad as the press made it out to be….the people here came together to help make things right again….over 6,000 Hamburgers when to Sternschanze and Altona to help residents clean up the mess….they swept streets, removed garbage…..wiped away the graffiti….and the shops which were open….served them free coffee and food….the subway system (HVV) is offering those who lost a car during the riots….a monthly travel pass for free….for one year…..so we’ll be ok and move on….now it’s time to see if anything positive will come from all of this….the world is watching G-20érs….so make good on your words….I definitely know most of the police officers are glad to be going back home…and Trump went back home and continued to be stupid…..there’s something going around on the net saying….Trump proposes a “Cyber Security Unit” with Russia and continues to downplay the election interference…..a friend of mine explained this in one sentence…. “This cat is the craziest rat in the shit house.”….all in all….don’t worry…we’ll put us back together again….and continue to be listed as one of the top 10 most beautiful cities in the world…..even though we survived the madness….we want the world to know one thing….we are R.T.C….ready to continue….the helicopters are gone….the sirens have finally shut up….and yes….the buses are still running late…..now I can go back to pointing out all the important thing “THEY” want us to know in the news
