Sticky . . .

. . . situations . . .

Sticky place to be
Sticky relationships
From which you can't get free

Stick to the point
Have a little fun
Until there's disagreement
Then just stick to your guns

Sticky

In Case . . .

(from https://fairus.org/issue/societal-impact/noncitizens-voting-violations-and-us-elections)
The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) requires that persons registering to vote in federal elections affirm that they are United States Citizens. Failure to do so is a crime punishable under the following statutes:
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 611, it is a crime – punishable by a fine and up to one year in prison – for an alien to vote in a federal election.
Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1227, any alien who has voted in violation of any Federal, State, or local constitutional provision, statute, ordinance, or regulation is deportable.
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1973gg-10(2) any false statement concerning an applicant’s citizenship status that is made on a registration form submitted to election authorities is a crime.
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 911 knowing and willful false assertions of United States citizenship in order to vote are punishable by up to three years in prison.
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1015(f) it is a criminal offense for an individual to make a false statement or claim that he or she is a citizen of the United States in order to register or to vote.

Frustration . . .

While there is nothing I'd like to see more than our government working properly, resolving issues of importance to the American people, in a non-partisan fashion for the betterment of all, I fear that this is, in actuality, impossible. The partisan divide, which began with the presidency of Barack Obama (read McConnell: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.") and continues today, in an even more toxic fashion (if that is imaginable), with the presidency of Donald J. Trump. The reasons for the current situation's dire prognosis are varied and many, but the point is that we do our country and our population no service by perpetuating the current political situation. Both 'sides' must either work together on government (and not waste precious time choosing sides about petty, superficial topics brought to our attention by small, superficial personality flaws) or we must take necessary action for which provision was made in the U.S. Constitution and simply 'get back to business.'

I Love . . .

. . . a parade . . .

. . . as does the president.

(http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/402284-trump-calls-dem-senator-loser-after-criticism-of-military-parade)
". . . Sen. Richard Blumenthal took to Twitter Thursday night to criticize President Donald Trump’s plan to hold a $92 million military parade, the president was quick to snap back with a tweet of his own, calling the Connecticut senator a “loser.”. . . Blumenthal shared a CNBC report citing the hefty price tag and called for those funds to be used to improve the quality of life for veterans rather than for a parade planned for Veterans Day 2019. . . “Real patriotism should mean $92 million to honor military service & benefit veterans, not glorify politicians. Improve vets health care, more jobs & skills, end vet homelessness & suicides — still killing at least 20 heroes every day,” Blumenthal tweeted around 7 p.m. Thursday. . ."

Siding . . .

. . . is NOT what this is about . . .

(http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/08/23/cruz-challenger-beto-orourke-dinged-for-saying-nothing-more-american-than-kneeling-during-anthem.html)
". . . Beto O’Rourke, the Democrat challenging GOP Sen. Ted Cruz in the midterm elections, is being slammed by Republicans for saying (included in detailed, thorough, intelligent and respectful remarks in answer to a question from the audience) there is “nothing more American” than kneeling during the national anthem. . . O’Rourke, a Democratic congressman, was asked at a recent campaign event about NFL players who kneel during the anthem. O’Rourke replied, “I can think of nothing more American than to peacefully stand up, or take a knee for your rights anytime, anywhere, any place.”. . . Cruz tweeted (in a not so thorough, intelligent and respectful manner), "Most Texans stand for the flag, but Hollywood liberals are so excited that Beto is siding with NFL players protesting the national anthem that Kevin Bacon just retweeted it. That means all of us us can now win Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon!" . . . "

Advice . . .

. . . is certainly easily obtained
At a rate of about 'a dime a dozen'
Experts abound
Some asking more
Others asking less
For sharing their precious wisdom
"Budget?" they ask
To which I say No
"Goals" they inquire
Well most certainly Yes!
I want to make music
For you and the rest

Pot . . .

. . . and kettle, tar and brush, stones and glass houses . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-calm-now-white-house-allies-brace-potential-meltdown-n902986)
". . . Cohen's allegations are "interesting but not legally significant," said a source familiar with the matter. Even if Trump did order the payments, it's not a campaign finance violation, the source said, adding that Cohen isn't credible because his story keeps changing. . .Trump's story about the payments also has changed, as he initially told reporters he knew nothing about them. Trump later tweeted that he reimbursed Cohen for money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. . ."
