America Voted In the Clowns

They are dying in Ukraine, you know... America voted in the clowns; Russian bombs falling on Maternity Hospitals, you know...America voted in the clowns; Bernie Sanders and his wife taking a second honeymoon in Russian, perhaps? Seeming nowhere to be found, America voted in the clowns; From leaders of the Democrat Party, whose poor policies have indirectly given Putin Money to purchase his lethal rounds, I hear no remorseful sounds... American voted in the clowns; Where are the often, incessant, voices of loudmouth sports figures? Hollywood Trump Haters, the rabid supporters of Biden, Obama and Clinton? Silent as those movies of old, keeping low profile, in their mansion bunkers not so bold... America makes idols of clowns.

I disagree with the cover up of corruption related to Biden's and Ukraine. All is more complex than acknowledged.

Absolutely! We only know what we read and are allowed to see. Neo Nazi Party in Ukraine. Bio weapons labs funded by USA. I want no American Children physically fighting that war until we are told the entire truth. We can handle it. Thank you, Heidi.

Ain't that the truth -- stirring things up, for their own, self-centered ego purposes, and then sending youth out to die...safe in their little kingdoms until the shells stop falling. Then they come out and pin medals on one another. Thank you, Joe.

You sound like a pretty intelligent and reasonable fellow. How long do you think the United States had been funding Putin? It sounds like the U.S. is the reason Russia invaded Ukraine. Since the United States isn’t doing anything to try and help Ukraine, what do you think we should do to avoid any more bloodshed overseas?

Hello Mark; right now, rev-up domestic oil production; and in that way, stopping a lot of the funding for Putin's war machines.... I don't want to see US direct involvement, God forbid that it will take this, until Europe (NATO) actually declares war. They have not sufficiently funded their own military over the past years, while American has been the sucker, footing the bill while they practiced their Social Experiments. Thank you, Mark. I like your pal in the picture. They are a lot more honest and loyal than many we elect to office. We need to try and clean house midterm, both houses -- but I have my doubts as to an honest election. I am doing what I can locally. Blessings.

Why insult Milton and Jenna? If you post something controversial you should have some sort of answers for questions.

Mark Koplin

Ok, you keep copying and posting the same thing for each question I ask. Why?

How does oil have anything to do with Russia invading Ukraine? I’m confused

Mark Koplin
Date: 3/13/2022 1:47:00 PM

Correct me if I’m wrong, we shouldn’t put any troops on the ground in Ukraine to stop a murdering dictator? I’m not sure if he will stop if we export more oil. I don’t understand how that would help stop Putin.

Those so-called "clowns" are keeping us safe by punishing Russia without getting us entangled in a war that could quickly escalate into a nuclear catastrophe. So, how would you handle it, Joe?

Same way; absolutely no US Soldiers in the air or on the ground. Where I differ is, I would not propagate the carnage by helping dictators make profits off of energy, allowing them to fund their hideous war machines. I would open up all drilling in the USA, and finish the pipelines already started~maybe begin construction on a few new ones. And don't hand me this garbage about existing permits already not being used -- you know as well as I do, that unusable permits are worthless. Pollution of the planet!!?? How healthy is the residue from bombs~the toxic stench as cities burn to the ground? And the biological decay of bodies, tossed into mass graves. Breathe deeply...your Green Party has earned it.

Good. Now let some others have room to post. Enough silly nonsense. This is a serious subject which deserves attention. Blessings. Joe. "Recitar! Mentre preso dal delirio, non so più quel che dico, e quel che faccio! Eppur è d'uopo, sforzati! Bah! Sei tu forse un uom? Tu se' Pagliaccio!"

You have me confused with someone else. I stand by my words, which exposes me as speaking my truth. No deletions. Check your spelling error and I AM a nice person… touch up your clown makeup.

Ha ha ha ha! What happened to Miss Nice, who is above insulting another poet and his opinion?...again you expose yourself...time to delete your comments like you always do. Blessings my friend. and I really mean that...no hard feelings. Joe. "Send in the clowns, send in the clowns...maybe they are here ":)

Hi Milt. A warped mind is often beyond saving. Mr. Know it all is a misguided clown and ya can’t fix stupid. Think I’ll sit out his insults and laugh at his circus act.

This is a far left- socialist site. And I thought negative comments were not allowed, regardless? These are to humiliate you. I see nothing to support you or positive. I get jumped on for far less. But life goes on. A pro Biden Blog would be better .....than destruction of a poet. There are social sites to shut conservative people up.NeedI name them?

Joe Dimino

Nonsense comments do not bother me. Most of them will erase their comments after a couple of days~happens all the time. I am a lot older...they are young, and will see things differently as their brains begin to develop. Thank you for the support. Hope you are feeling a bit less pain. Love, Joe and Ila.

I may have a different opinion of your brain...if that is acceptable in your world. The only thing that would make this discourse more interesting is, if Soup would make this a POTD. Just imagine your crew:) Wow baby! The fireworks!!!

As Silent One wrote, don’t forget Trump is buddies with Putin, praising him with admiration. Yes, Joe, the clown with orange hair spent 4 years tearing America apart, turning us against each other, denying the existence of Covid and leaving his messes to be cleaned up. What he screwed up in 4 years will take much longer to mend and clean up in order to make America great again. You can point a finger at Biden but the weight of our problems began with Trump. Your opinion vs mine … stalemate.

Not a bit of truth in your statement Jenna; just the usual lying propaganda repeated by deranged Liberals. You are grossly misinformed.

The atrocities of the Teacher's Union abusing children exposed, prices for simple necessary products going through the roof, seniors forced to ration food and heat, gas prices making something like a casual afternoon drive with the family a monumental decision...nobody in the real-world is buying your dribble anymore, Jenna. Enjoy the beach...I am certain non of this will enter your mind. And if you turn off comments on your own poetry, what makes you think that anything is fair about you slandering the words of others? Brave.

Wow joe, why are you so insulting? Don’t you think you can get your point across in a more civilized manner?

If you believe that propaganda site you listed is valid, you are more lost than I assumed. Once again you refer to me as a liar. Coming from you that’s a compliment.

Joe Dimino
Date: 3/11/2022 12:49:00 PM

Good. Does us all the favor Jenna. You expose yourself. Did not expect a list, just more inane rhetoric. Can't produce what you don't have. Untruthful Untruthful, pants are on fire:)

Yeah, Jenna.

Jenna Logan
Date: 3/11/2022 10:02:00 AM

Im not offended, but you seem to be. A valid list would not change your mind, and shame on you for admitting you would humiliate another poet. That certainly is a negative way of thinking. What I write may be humiliating to Trump but not to a fellow poet. I think I’ve wasted enough time here. Enjoy your weekend and remember that everyone is entitled to an opinion without being scorned or called names. There is a title for one who does such things. Carry on with your thoughts, if you must. I’m off to the beach.

Joe Dimino

You wouldn't, I would. Give us that list of yours, so others can read it. I posted valid government information. Stop the clown act:) Offended...give us a break.

So are you calling me a liar? I think a list of his blunders would be longer. We’ll never see eye to eye on this and my intent was not to incite or argue… only to state my view as you did. I would never humiliate anyone just for having a different opinion as some are prone to do. I certainly hope my brain is still growing and not closed minded.

They claim to be for the downtrodden but where’s the proof? The heckling laughter…the fridge filled with ice cream, the avoidance of clarity, protection behind walls and armed guards. Ordinary citizens are often the heroes. God sees.

America's actions are evident in many countries, especially Afghanistan and the silence of NATO is so hypocritical, who are mainly to blame for this... politics is full of imperialistic leaders and ones that really do not give a damn about innocent civilians... and lets not forget about how Trump was supported by the Russians to come into power....

Don't forget to mention January 6th, when Trump attempted to overthrow the government of the United States of America. This same Trump who would become a dictator if he could pull it off.
