". . . When asked by The New York Times about Russian president Vladimir Putin’s comments about Western liberalism being “obsolete,” Trump took that to mean literally liberals living on the west coast of the United States. . . “He’s sees what’s going on, I guess, if you look at what’s happening in Los Angeles, where it’s so sad to look, and what’s happening in San Francisco and a couple of other cities, which are run by an extraordinary group of liberal people,” Trump told the Times. . . “I don’t know what they’re thinking,” he added. “But when you look at Los Angeles, when you look at San Francisco, when you look at some of the other cities — and not a lot, not a lot — but you don’t want it to spread.”. . ."
noun
1 : a list or outline of things to be considered or done

It’s a parade
A satire for oppression
Provocateur
To oversee dissection
Notoriety; a craving
Never ending ’til it’s quenched
But no sooner than accomplished
Viciously starting all over again
Just what we need
More hatred for a weapon
Follow the lead
Against your own discretion

I'll be your Blood Brother
By your side through thick and thin
I'll be your Blood Brother
Just as long as I don't have to bloody
My hands
Bar rooms sure have a funny way
Of bringing loyalty out in a man
Buy a drink and tell a joke
And buddy you've got you a friend
But keep a good eye upon that friend
Because he really doesn't give two hoots
And don't say anything about his Mom
His girlfriend or his army boots
Walked into an auto-mo-showroom
I need some wheels but got no money to spend
When a guy with an ugly tie
Walks out and acts like he's my long-lost friend
I said hey Buddy I've a purpose here
And if you please I will accomplish my goal
So don't you slap me on the back again
Cause if you do I might just lose my control
So please be careful when you meet someone
Who'll make a promise at the drop of a hat
And don't provide them with encouragement
You will regret the day you offered him that
Cause everybody needs some empathy
But just how willing
And how far will they go
To really help you when the chips are down
Can they be trusted half as far as you throw them
Blood Brother

". . . We didn’t agree on much of anything. We got things done. We got it finished. But today, you look at the other side and you’re the enemy. Not the opposition, the enemy. We don't talk to each other anymore.". . . Biden said he believes "one of the things I'm pretty good at is bringing people together," before citing negotiations he had to partake in with Mitch McConnell, now the Senate majority leader. . . “I know the new New Left tells me that I’m — this is old-fashioned," he said earlier. "Well guess what? If we can’t reach a consensus in our system, what happens? It encourages and demands the abuse of power by a president. That’s what it does. You have to be able to reach consensus under our system — our Constitutional system of separation of powers.". . . "
(from https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-s-iran-air-strike-reversal-shouldn-t-make-america-ncna1020521)
". . . We are left with the conclusion, formed early in Trump’s campaign and reinforced by his time in office, that this commander-in-chief is ill-informed, voluble and quixotic. . . There are many factors contributing to this feeling of instability and danger, not least of which is the perception, properly conceived, that we actually have no strategy to achieve our objectives. . ."

It’s a parade
A satire for the oppressed
Provocateur to oversee dissection
Notoriety; a craving
Never ending
Til it’s quenched
But no sooner than accomplished
Viciously starting all over again
(from The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan)
. . . Now I saw in my dream that, just as they had ended this talk, they drew near to a very miry slough that was in the midst of the plain; and they being heedless, did both fall suddenly into the bog. The name of the slough was "Despond." Here, therefore, they wallowed for a time, being grievously bedaubed with the dirt; and CHRISTIAN, because of the burden that was on his back, began to sink in the mire. . . "
Slough Of Despond
by OHO (Duo-Jay Graboski and Ray Jozwiak) live at 99 Sea Level, Bethany Beach, DE June 2019
My 4 minutes and 50 seconds of "fame" playing with Yo-Yo Ma is here for you to hear. Needless to say, I did not win the contest. The Indabamusic site is populated by many, varied, talented and wonderful musicians and producers. So they were doing very creative things with Yo-Yo's very basic track. I chose to simply accompany Yo-Yo on the melody, then take off on a typical 'Gonzo Piano' improvisational rant. I kinda liked it. Still do.

". . . Following the April release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, this hope seemed vaguely justifiable — at least for those who were desperate to feel it. Perhaps, Trump had learned from his brush with the law. Perhaps, if only for self-preservation, he wouldn’t again encourage, implicitly or explicitly, Russian interference that would distort the will of American voters. Perhaps in 2020, Trump would cease to be Trump. . . the president dispelled any such notion by declaring that if he was offered dirt on a Democratic opponent by a foreign agent, he would probably accept it. “I think I’d take it,” the president told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in an interview that aired on Wednesday. . . If Trump has learned anything since 2016, it’s that he can get away with almost anything, including working with a foreign adversary to influence an American election. Now that Mueller has completed his investigation, Congress continues to display limited willingness to act on his findings — mostly due to Republicans’ shameful betrayal of the Constitution and their oaths of office, in addition to naive caution among some Democrats. Is it any wonder that Trump believes himself to be above the law? . . ."
. . . and according to the behavior of Congressional Republicans . . . he's right!
