A Tale of Two Harbors

a scourge across the land of the free
  darkness brooding in Mar-a-Lago
    and brewing in Chesapeake Bay

fear surrounds the man who
  would be our President again
    a stench from the one in office 'til then

Hello Gershon ... the world outside US wanted to see Trump ousted, but by gosh, nobody thought someone could see someone worse stepping in - thank you Gershon - Lindsay

You're right. The world didn't like Trump, but underneath all the bluster, lies a basic humanity, and a strong anti-communist bent. Mr. Biden, however, is totally devoid of any moral principles -- promotes his Catholicism while boosting abortion for all anytime, for example -- who has converted to socialism in his old age, and has zero understanding of foreign affairs. I held my nose and voted for Trump. Wish more had... Oh, well.

Oh what a mess our government is in. Stinky stinky for sure

Not my government, Andrea. I'd fight to bring it down, if push came to shove. I am NOT a socialist or communist, unlike Biden, Harris, Pelosi, the Squad, and the other Bullies of the Left. When their two infrastructure bills pass, as pass they will, the game's over. Insurrection becomes a duty then, not an option. ~ 71 and ready

Given the disasters of the past 8 months, and the pain of either choice, is there any doubt if the least bad?

The lesser 'evil' -- Trump -- lost, unfortunately. The Communist/Socialist isolationists of Biden, Harris, AOC, the Squad et. al. have carried the day. Their policies and infrastructure spending will insure the fall of America into the inviting arms of Permanent Poverty, and appeasement of the bullies in the Inner Circle of 'the Party.' Sad to see what's coming. :) gw
