The Night Before

 'Twas the night before Christmas when all through the land
 Billionaires gathered to give Trump a hand
 They were there to see what programs to cut
 Leaving the poor in a much deeper rut

 The Rocket man Musk with funds to divert
 now had the title of efficiency expert
 Senior citizens worried that they'd be erased
 While Musk took their SS checks to outer space

 The would be Secretary of Defense loves his booze
 In case we were attacked
 he'd be asleep at the switch,  taking a snooze
 Dreaming of vodka and another six pack
 
 The Department of health would get rid of vaccines
 and childhood diseases would pick the kids clean
 The man set to be in charge is a former heroine addict
 Seems he'd like needles, but he sets the script

Did this one never get judged? I don't believe so . Also I was hoping to see you on the holiday fun winner list but maybe it required use of that title. I recall a snowman set you did so very well. Hope the new year is going great for you, Joseph.

Hi Joseph, all politicians are the same, the poor will always suffer, the UK is in a far worse state than America. Hope you had a peaceful Christmas day God bless.

Joseph I hope we have a much better year then the past four. The poor are always neglected by our elected officials. In Vermont they can't find enough housing for the homeless its a tragedy seeing these needy folks camping in the sidewalks in -10 degree weather. they the Politicians in my opinion most of them could care less and mostly care about themselves. All you have to do is look at Kensington Pennsylvania, and all the major cities. We sent Ukraine 33 Billion dollars and we can't take care

Millions have suffered defects from the vaccines. Myocarditis being one of them and many, many others. Other Drs that have shared truthful information, Karry Mullis an American Nobel Peace prize winner who invented the PCR test for testing Covid also known as Polymerase Chain Reaction test, Dr Bryan Ardis, Dr Sherry Tenpenny, Dr Anreas Nouack from Austria. They also found out that they are putting the vax in dental anesthetics such as Lidocain made by guess who, PFIZER. The media has covered everything up, they have censored most of what is happening. Fauci will probably be pardoned by Biden for his crimes. Check out rumble and watch the videos on what they are finding in the vaccines.

Joseph go to Rumble, or Bitchute type in Dr Ricardo Delgado from the La Columna LaQuinta university of Spain. They have censored most of this information. You might be able to find it on Rumble. This Dr went Viral with what the Virologist, Scientist and chemist found when they dissected the ingredients in the Vaccines... they found Graphene Oxide, Hyrogel, Polysorbate 80, Nano but technology that tracks you, and self assembling mechanisms that clot your arteries. They estimate 33 percent of those vaccinate will perish in the next five years.

I hope so too Michael, we definitely need to do so something about all the processed foods we consume, Not sure about vaccines in dental anesthetics, but it's shocking to see what drugs have done to places like Kensington

of our own. Almost Every major city in the U S is in need of help for the homeless. They waste your tax money and line their pockets with it. Big Corps are Killing people and injuring them with vaccines, they are putting vaccines in dental anesthetics without warning the public. People have no clue of what they put in their foods, water, medications, 1/3 of all injuries and death are caused by Drs, Medical staff..Hospitals. There are so many lawsuits that is why your health care is so expensive and it is getting worse...

Trump seems to be the perfect person to be made a fool. But then all presidents of the world care nothing for the poor.
