L Milton Hankins Poet Quatrain

Not Patriots--Amoeba Types

The insurrectionists of January 6 are NOT patriots!
They are criminals of the lowest amoeba-types
Most patriots were at work improving the G.N.P.
Not carousing and malingering to air their gripes.

Can you imagine an American president colluding,
Encouraging rabble-rousers to storm the Capitol,
Giving tacit approval to hanging his vice-president?
In my opinion, his behavior was clearly lunatical!

And, he is still clamoring for the nation’s attention
Bloviating far and wide, spouting despicable lies,
I’m flabbergasted that so many are on his team
Celebrating and cheering on our nation’s demise.

A long-time presidential aficionado, I hasten to say,
That Donald Trump’s picture among our presidents
Is utterly disgraceful, a travesty of the worst kind,
He should be prosecuted to law's fullest extents.

Caren Krutsinger July 31, 2022 at 10:33 PM I could not imagine this ever before it happened "Can you imagine an American president colluding, Encouraging rabble-rousers to storm the Capitol," - I still think it's a nightmare that could not possibly be true! L Milton Hankins August 1, 2022 at 7:30 AM Sometimes I feel the same way, Caren, but I was riveted to the television watching this travesty unfold and was deeply fearful that I was seeing our country being destroyed.

Shirley Hawkins July 31, 2022 at 3:46 AM Extremely well put, Milt. I agree with you 100%. I do not understand politics; I do understand the meaning of right and wrong. And the adage that if you commit a crime, you do time. Why was Mr Trump voted for the presidential position when he is dumb or dumber than most of his followers? Did he pay for the privilege? L Milton Hankins July 31, 2022 at 8:18 AM Well, I'd say that money probably helped him get where he is today. Money, for the most part, his has conned out of his followers and minions!

Gershon Wolf July 30, 2022 at 10:10 PM I can't understand his attraction either. Or maybe we should admit that our nation is a lot sicker than we'd like to think... At any rate, why can't he just go away forever?! (btw: I feel the same way about Hilary Clinton). L Milton Hankins July 31, 2022 at 8:20 AM I certainly would like to see that happen, gw. I know you feel that way about Hilary Clinton, too, but I think our country would have been a lot better off had she defeated Trump in the first place. We'll just agree to disagree on that one!

Rico Leffanta July 30, 2022 at 6:59 PM The real problem is that 43% of Trump supporters who just can not understand what Trump has done, nor understand the impact on future generations. As you may have heard on the news, Americans today are so dumb, the military can not find enough of them to qualify as cannon fodder! Aloha! L Milton Hankins July 30, 2022 at 7:05 PM I cannot think that they are, in any sense, level-headed about this. They certainly don't know much about American civics, government, and, well, politics. They are angry malcontents who are somehow caught up in his cult...and, IMHO, it IS a cult. How else would he hold such power over them???

I Am Anaya July 30, 2022 at 6:57 PM I am listening to NPR radio, the court congressional hearings concerning the insurrection and, on the U.S. Capital. It just brings back those bad vibes...very sad. Milton, I just might run my poem "CIVAL WAR II" through again...we need to stop him! I cried too! L Milton Hankins July 30, 2022 at 7:05 PM Bring it on, Anaya. Yes, he simple must be stopped, period!

Robert Gorelick July 30, 2022 at 2:10 PM I agree with you a hundred percent. Blaming Jewish bankers, with conspiracy theories about NWO and how Trump is indebted to them and must follow their lead, I believe this to be absolutely inane. Many years ago, Henry Ford published a periodical entitled the Protocols of Zion, wherein he blamed Jewish bankers for America's problems. This turned out to be a complete hoax as will this Jewish conspiracy antisemitism. Robert L Milton Hankins July 30, 2022 at 2:13 PM Robert, I'm not much into conspiracy theories, period. I'm not really privy to information about the NWO or Henry Ford's Protocols of Zion. I just observe what I can see and sense and come to my own opinions. I do like to know what others think, but I always reserve the right to form my own opinions and make my own judgments. And, occasionally, I just can't hold my tongue!

Tom Cunningham July 30, 2022 at 2:02 PM A dark day for America and democracy, I couldn't believe what I was seeing on my TV, can't believe either the support that he still has. Tom L Milton Hankins July 30, 2022 at 2:08 PM I cried, Tom. On January 6th I simply could not believe my eyes...that this was happening in America. I'm still deeply troubled about it...still blistering inside. Thanks for your thoughts.

Jenna Logan July 30, 2022 at 1:17 PM What that man has done and so far, gotten away with is beyond belief. He has snubbed his nose at America and its citizens with his "I can do whatever the hell I want," attitude. I read that he's used the Presidential Seal at his 'buttering up to the Saudis' at his golf club. Really? He's been out of office for over 2 years and still thinks it's his right to use it. Makes me want to ball up that red tie and stuff it in his mouth! I'd chant "Lock him up" like he did for Hillary. L Milton Hankins July 30, 2022 at 2:10 PM It's good to know I'm not the only one who simply cannot tolerate much more of this bloviating bastard, a lying, deceitful conman of the first order. If he is not prosecuted then it will indicate that, if you have money and power, anything goes! It makes me nauseous to think about.

Michael Tor July 30, 2022 at 11:46 AM Milton your courage to say how you feel is greatly appreciated for all who read this. It is a truth that I totally agree with. I take it a little further though. I think it was planned and orchestrated to create division among Americans. In other words I think it was staged to create that division. It certainly has done that. I have read a lot about Donald Trump. I have read two of his books One being The Art Of The Deal. What I found out is that at one point in his life he was 200 million... Michael Tor July 30, 2022 at 11:56 AM dollars in the hole. Ready to declare bankruptcy when many of the Wealthy Jewish bankers bailed him out and helped him. If it were not for them his empire would have been dissolved. I believe he owed favors to these men and many of these men not all but many are involved in what I believe is the Unity OF All Global Nations to form A New World Order. That is my Opinion in the many years of research I have done. I certainly agree with you that his encouragement of the insurrection was done by him. Milton I honestly don't trust any Politicians. I believe they are all secretly working together. That is why I have no loyalty to either Trump nor Biden. I know and realize good Americans are suffering right now with the gas prices, food prices and inflation. We as Americans loose when we are governed by Leaders with certain agendas we are not privy to. Thanks for listening...
