(3,433 posts)Good message, almost perfect. They just forgot to put a space right before the hashtag.
It's the small things.

(19,459 posts)I believe they used an image of the Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing for that segment. Very appropriate, and not what I would have expected.

(16,786 posts)Back in 2009, while my husband stayed in the car, I toured the site where the Murrah Building once stood. The 169 chairs there were a reminder of the people who lost their lives to Domestic Terrorism. The reflection pool between to towering structures was indeed poignant. The Museum itself, the photos, artifacts from the debris field tell stories that grip the gut.
One leaves humbled and shaken to the core.

I think that the revenue from increased subscriptions is going to offset the cost a bit.

Anyone that has compassion is better than 45. Hanks has the compassion, leadership, the unity to bring this nation back to greatness before 45 took his broken oath of office!
America's Forrest was a handicap who overcome condition, he became solider, a leader of a shrimp boat and most importantly; a heck of an actor who is now poised to be what this country needs NOW. A SPEAKER of democracy!
Forrest run for 2020!
Hanks for 2020!

(14,565 posts)I'm disappointed at the rather timid approach. The entirety obviously was caused by Trump and Republicans of this era, but without a clever related phrase or recognizable image of a Trump atrocity, Republicans won't be outraged enough and this won't have appropriate long lasting impact or fame.
We needed something that would prompt at least 5 outraged tweets from him.

(33,525 posts)We usually watch the Super Bowl hoping to be amused by the commercials, at least those that aren't too obscene.
We pretend to be interested in the game, always routing for whoever is playing against the Trumpian misnamed "Patriots."
(We actually disapprove of Football.)
The commercials sucked as badly as the game itself, and as newly minted "Empty Nesters" we decided to go to bed and catch up on being in love with each other.
Apparently we missed the only thing worth seeing in this traditional cultural exercise in consumerism and violence.
Too bad.
