Birthday Parade

We know the dates of birthdays Of some presidents, once dead, Yet this time a parade will tout A living one, instead. As tanks roll down the DC streets And soldiers march in step, Republicans won’t focus on The millions spent in prep. They’ll bow down to their MAGA king As fireworks explode, Just like the crowds for Stalin In his power-hungry mode. We’re told that this parade is for Our country’s birthday, though, Considering the president, We know that isn’t so.

Ilene, you have stated the stunning truth with accuracy and honesty. The good news is there will be many alternative demonstrations at the same time throughout the country. I am planning to attend one of those. I just got the cardboard for the sign I am going to carry.

Is he to sit on a throne installed on the lead tank? Wearing an ermine cloak and waving his scepter... Outrageous thought but not as scandalous as some things he's done and said. I didn't know this was planned; I've turned off and tuned out of listening to any news about that despicable one.
