America Pretends and Then Has Another Drink and Goes Home

America pretends today that it didn't actually put an unqualified narcissistic bully in the position of the most powerful man in the whole known universe, America pretends today that somehow this lying two-faced con-man can best represent their interests & actually givea damn, America pretends today that its o.k. that the office of the President is now run by a scamming tycoon real-estate developer whose claim to fame is really just his name, America pretends today, that mocking the broken, denigrating tortured prisoners, sexual-assault, bigotry & racism are all forgivable in their newly minted Chief, America pretends today, that this choice is not a reflection of the darkness in its people, of the false promise of a Great America, and the bitter poison that is white folks fear & dread. America has another drink & then goes home. (With thanks to the late great Francis Vincent Zappa)
