Cry Uncle

   Neither bells rang
     nor rifles sounded
   The transition quiet
     neither looting nor riots

   A veritable coup
     pulled off by old pros ~ 
   helpless, pinned to the ground
     Cry ‘Uncle,’ Joe, it’s time to go

Well it had to happen..' Its all rather strange G W I have been a proficent shot in my time..And Struggle to see why when Trump batted his ear Another shot wasn't fired.?? Not that I would want such.! Yet the shooter would know it was Not a kill' and a fraction of a second is all it Would have taken to ajust.) It makes me wonder if that Was all that was ment to happen.? The real Goal being a 'captive president?) Its all rather Too much by now.! May God intervene!!

In this I am not considering The 'young man' I beleive there Are clips of a figure on a water Tower ? with a higher vantage Point? Also there are apparantly no Sattelite videos?? Or would The Russians have something? Failing the U S covering that area.' Whuch is also strange to My mind.?
