President Donald Trump announced he will sign an executive order Tuesday on police reform amid increased pressure after the death of George Floyd.

Better late than never?

His EO said and did nothing. It just said he "encouraged" local law enforcement agencies to review their practices.

@quitwhendone I read the EO. It was very Presidential. I did not think he was that smart. Wowza!
@SimplyTracie He didn't write it. He likely didn't even read it.

@quitwhendone Ohhh 😮
@SimplyTracie You know, the WH staff does all of that. There are a couple of people in charge of writing EOs.

@quitwhendone I think he should write his own shit.
@SimplyTracie C'mon. Be serious. Do you actually think he can write?

@quitwhendone Hmmm good point 😁

@SimplyTracie Reagan wrote his own speeches, one of the best speakers ever!

@fanuc2013 He was a very polished speaker. Kinda opposite of our current President. Trump shoulda joined Toastmasters International. Am I right?

@SimplyTracie I would have to say the same thing about the Left! They've all degenerated into schoolyard talk!
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 Not true. I know people who are Democrats and they are not degenerates. Far from it.
I also know tons of people who are Republicans and they are no way like a Trump. Maybe I just don’t hang out with bullies so I wouldn’t know any of them.

@fanuc2013 Come on now, even you have to admit that both sides have the tendency to argue like a dysfunctional family. Just take a look at a typical political post here 🤭.

@SimplyTracie oh yes, I know what you mean, there are people on both sides that can be respectful . I think the media likes the people that hurl insults, makes for more sensationalism
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 Hmmm, why is that I wonder? Lotsa people enjoy reading about others being insulted? Sometimes when a leader makes fun of others, people cheer. So weird.
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie we've never had that before! Past presidents just let anyone hurl insults, make accusations, even if it was so outlandish it couldn't be true, and the accusers didn't have to worry about any repercussions. Now they're getting back a little of what they've sown, and a lot of people think it's about time!

@fanuc2013 I don’t believe in retaliation. Maybe it’s because I’m just a coward and won’t punch back.

Or maybe there is wisdom in a quote:
Weak people retaliate
Strong people forgive
Smart people ignore.

One smart person responded when he was criticized by saying nothing and simply ignored their remarks. I know how that feels. People here would call me stupid and then block me. Like I care.
