I do my best to love all my fellow beings, but it's hard when they've allowed a complete buffoon to take the helm of our country... let's rather say that I love select fellow beings passing well, and try to help any being that needs my assistance or has no one to speak for them. The poor, the ill, the child, the discarded animal - they are welcome to my kindness and my help.
