(31,535 posts)A few minutes later, there was a report of a second plane. And I knew.
Now the radio guy was probably getting his info from the radio. So, those of us listening to radios. (and there were many of us because I was driving my kids to school), probably got the same impression that I got.

I said it before, if 9/11 happened today, there would be nowhere near the same level of support. The GOP would be saying the same shit that they are are saying now about CA. Must have conditions, they don't deserve help, not until they change their woke policies. - There's a black mayor and woman Governor. DEI,DEI, DEI.
Although the aftermath of forever wars was a disaster, with good intention, many signed up to the military to defend America. All of it. That would not be the case today.
