One, Short of a Six Pack

Caught red-handed, but he knew what to do!
"The dog ate my homework"' once worked for me too.
But for federal and international crime,
Hardly a kid's assignment, I guess he does not know
that.
Let alone the city he is in, nor the time.

The pretense, the lack of integrity!
Now covered by "oh, he stutters, you know?"
I am insulted by this sham and this elderly ham.
Is that how thick headed an American 
He believes I and many others am?

I am done with politics, ties me in knots and never really understood it, always squabbles and back stabbing and not much else done, have to be made of stone to survive in that world, : ( Emilia

Sorry, Emilia..come to the USA where brats are burning down citie. Murder is sport here...' worse! Nobody cares we side with maniacs, looters and sex predators. We all think we, mot in pollitics are are perfect...frankly, I don't know why. I met nice people and careless beasts. Will Soupmail Later....if you don't elect the right people, it's the end of any country. At least you have a monarch. Not us.

I won't get into it. But silly as things seem to other nations, I don't understand other systems, so I won't make insults against your leaders. Tacky! I watch the UK goings on.Too bad you are not here, I'd give you a fast lesson in politics. Politicians are no different than poets...in that we both groups think they are perfect. Hardly. We are all humans but we think poets are gods and goddesses. Nobody sees us on TV daily. Thank God. Life is a just a game. We play the poet game...perfect? I don't think so. Who knows who is real here? Humility is called for,less "we are saints." Pangie xx

It's nice to see some 'equal time' for all the relentless bashing our President receives.

I would have a heart wrenched in two by now. I'd be glad to leave and not see my family, any good works trashed. The saddest part is all the MSM giving his accomplishments to the losers before him.BS. That's like putting losers in the Hall of fame. Good he fights back...tough that people don't like it. I fault the media.. Jeffrey Toobin, how gross, John! Shhh,that's a secret? MSM...boooo..mannerless ...Pangie xx
