  1. This is what is real. Not Pizzagate-nonsense, not Q-Idiots, not left-wing ANTFA – real life by way of cold, dead loved ones – both ours and yours. Ignore the cheaply-paid trolls – they don’t care about who lives or dies in the US – and keep faith. We’ll make it through this – the only question is how much we make ourselves suffer from now until then.

  2. best way through Covid19, leasership accountability common cause & sacrifice πŸ’™πŸ˜· “cover for each other”

    1. The Victoria Australia campaign was called “staying apart keeps us together” , they have joined the rest of the Covid 19 free states of Australia after some earlier errors. You say something almost identical.

    2. @annoyed aussie I heard it on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show on MSNBC. It was part of a poem. It was beautiful.

    1. It is hard, but it doesn’t have to hurt all the time. Try starting a call group who are also alone. It can become a new family, and you won’t be alone.

  3. Waiting on Jesus because.Our leaders don’t care about us no compassion. Many Americans including myself has lost their jobs do to the pandemic, no money for food. Me and my children are facing homelessness this thanksgiving no help insight. State is backed up getting ppl help. Worked in the restaurant business my whole life. everything is closed, or at 50 percent capacity I even applied to amazon. No help insight. My YT name is my 5@sh app if you may want to help. If not I understand. Thank you. God bless.

  4. Please just say home. I grew up as a military dependent where for two or three years in a row, we celebrated all holidays with just our household in one foreign country or another. As an enlisted family, we certainly could not afford to travel stateside for holidays. It was a sacrifice we made for America. This year it is a sacrifice we make for our loved ones. I assure you, when you do gather again in larger groups, it will be all the sweeter.

  5. Donald tRump has proven to be much more dangerous to America & each & everyone of us than Covid-19 & any virus including the Spanish Flu & Bubonic Plague!

  6. WE are a doing a family Zoom call. We told our parents to stay in the house. Very tough because they have volunteered at their church for the past 20 years. I gave my mom a kidney 10 years ago…..so sad for me to use that leverage to keep her indoors but ??? what else could I do. Happy Thanksgiving America
