You Can'T March Dirt Out

You can't march dirt from soiled laundry – 
one needs a strong detergent, and several
cycles of rinses.  You can't vote dictators
out of office – they do the counting, generally
counting the people out.  The world is in a
fix; America in the mix.  We need our, so called,
representatives in Washington to gain a backbone...
and not just ring their hands while pontificating – 
or are they all so conflicted themselves, that they 
dare not do their jobs?

Evil devours Evil! In time a powerful, 
ruthless person, decides to do good for 
the people – just to get the masses on
his side. So the seat of power can be
transferred.  Sometimes a group of well
to do individuals, tired of politics 
as usual, have an epiphany...and an
America is born!

Rama Balasubramanian July 29, 2021 at 10:00 PM Well penned. Applies to all countries. Joseph P. DiMino July 30, 2021 at 6:30 AM For sure; this mental/soul illness has infected the world. Covet is not the only pandemic.

John Lawless July 29, 2021 at 5:43 AM Just shut up and drink the Kool Aid..... Joseph P. DiMino July 29, 2021 at 8:26 AM Hi John; make mine Jack Daniel's

Panagiota Romios July 28, 2021 at 9:55 PM All countries have Leaders, elected by boneheads or intelligent people. But voters never take responsibity, Not too hard to figure out which group Put the USA One in ~ a tragedy, Any American who says "There IS No Crime in the USA",,,is cracked. Current leader said there is no crime here?!That's akin to me standing on a freeway, saying there is no traffic. Using a man, who cannot speak? Not know where he is? It's Elder Abuse. And Americans need to take to the streets as Europe is. Viva, Europe. PR The Marxists must be stopped. Joseph P. DiMino July 29, 2021 at 4:40 AM Well, one can certainly not accuse you of being a Wallflower. Thank you, Pangie.

Richard Lamoureux July 28, 2021 at 3:32 PM I think American politics is to far gone. Well expressed, the country is in need of a deep cleaning. Joseph P. DiMino July 28, 2021 at 5:19 PM Don't know what happened -- looks like, if to hold office for the Democrats, one has to sign somewhere in blood. That accounts for the soul...don't know where and when their minds left.

Anne-Lise Andresen July 28, 2021 at 11:59 AM ... I know most things about dirty laundry ... but not so much about American politics :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Panagiota Romios July 28, 2021 at 10:03 PM I agree with you, Joe on ANNE-LISE's honesty. Fed up with other countries using America as their punching bag. As if other countries were cool and faultless! What a crock! Panagiota Joseph P. DiMino July 28, 2021 at 5:20 PM Well, at least you are honest, and open minded. Thank you, Sunshine -- we like you just the way you are. Blessings.

L Milton Hankins July 28, 2021 at 8:37 AM Right on, Joe. And, I say those who do not do their jobs should be voted out...pronto! Joseph P. DiMino July 28, 2021 at 9:00 AM Hello my friend. Thank you for reading and commenting. Your positive feedback means a lot to me -- to this Nation!
