Micah Johnson and Why America is a ticking time bomb

"How many Blacks have to have their homes, children, neighborhood, or lives stolen without recourse before someone acts out his rage? How much Israeli-styled occupation policing and graphic videos of police murders is enough for a person to feel hatred for those that do these things?"

Another Essay on the Dilemmas of Lesser-Evil Voting

The list I created of Important dates in history for lesser-of-two-evils voters was meant largely as an effort to name the lesser evil as an evil consequence of lesser-of-two-evils voting.

Clinton's emails, servers, Comey, and the Senate.
