We Can Do Better

Still bitter four years later Vengeful Ms. Hilary Can't move past 2016 Because politics is her identity And now comes Mr. Trump Feverishly plotting an insurrection To make January 6 seem like a speed-bump For him it's all about ego resurrection Can't the rest of us do better? Don't we believe That we are not elephants or donkeys But wives and husbands, mothers and fathers Friends and neighbors -- Made in the image of God, if you please Let us bury forever one-dimensional identity disease

In a case like this it's the better of the evils. Hilary Clinton is just as bad as any of the others if not worse. If she had made it the country would be in worse shape than ever. God Bless my friend. JB

Trying to choose between Ms. Clinton and Mr. Trump was trying to choose between a hurricane and a typhoon, between an earthquake and a volcano, between a skunk and a rat, between... my pimples and my warts. ~ Decision, decisions

G’day Gershon … being dominated by egotistical billionaires steals the true greatness of the people who care for each other - well stated Gershon - Lindsay

There you go. 'Egoistical billionaires' -- Then again, I wouldn't mind being a billionaire to find out if I'd be 'egoistical' or not... Just thinkin' Happiness and Joy, Gershon

I think it's high time we point the finger at us. There is no such thing as President Trump planning an insurrection.sounds like CNN is at it again!)) .He has false accusations ahead.nobody I know of any such thing. Conservatives lost free speech, even in Congress and Senate. Comrade, look for the American KGB to follow you. Smear any Conservative...here..or simply don't comment. It's the PS version of smallifying non globalists. Perfectly terrible. Totally iinhumane, Pangie.

I refuse to watch the news any more. I cannot abide the politics.

I 'let the news come to me,' whatever that means... Actually, I pay attention to the local news a lot. I'd write about it, but who on Poetry Soup would care?! lol. ~ Mrs. O'Leary's Cow

That's interesting, Anne-Lise. You'd think that four years would be enough for Hilary to get over 2016... As for Trump, he'll go to his grave swearing the election was stolen from him. Sorry sight, those two. Oh, well. They're just politicians. Can't expect any better from either of those rapscallions. Have a great week, Gershon
