Seriously . . .

. . . do you Really think this person is well???


(from http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/pointing-imagined-threat-trump-vows-rescue-happy-thanksgiving?cid=sm_fb_maddow&fbclid=IwAR1DgPglUjXGo2ABJgnrL9SdT527O60jc3mR4vV5Jlg9ptnzXwX9JJmsIM4)
". . . The president did not appear to be kidding. “You know, some people want to change the name ‘Thanksgiving,’” Trump told his followers, failing to identify who these “people” are. “They don’t want to use the term ‘Thanksgiving’, and that was true also with Christmas, but now everybody’s using ‘Christmas’ again. Remember, I said that? But now we’re going to have to do a little work on Thanksgiving.” . . . He added, “People have different ideas why it shouldn’t be called ‘Thanksgiving,’ but everybody in this room, I know, loves the name ‘Thanksgiving’ and we’re not changing it.”. . . Obviously, this is deeply foolish, even by Trump standards. At least when some on the right got hysterical about “Happy Holidays,” conservatives could point to actual examples of people and businesses using the inclusive phrase. There is no comparable effort to change Thanksgiving’s name. . .Trump just made it up. . ."

Druthers . . .



Good people called it black
He says it’s white
They said he never would
He said he might
When will it end

Out of the question seemed
Prospect to be
Taking it seriously
Not you or me
Like make-believe

Who could foresee it
Who had the crystal ball
Undo bit by bit
Without one clue at all
Without decorum
Without a principle
Without a common decency to others
Need my druthers

Malice and arrogance
His stock and trade
Simply his character
Born with or made
Nature or raised

First thing and foremost in his mind
Ever so clearly appears he

Time now is way past due
Things have to change
Longer we let it go
The more he’s deranged
Give him his due


Druthers

Complications . . .


Challenges and opportunity
Success and mitigation
Competition's everywhere
I feel some hesitation

Buzzwords lingo jargon slang
Powerwords abound
The power isn't in the words
And using them confounds

Sometimes simplicity is really
Best for sharing
Expressing teaching passing-on
And when one's soul you're baring


It's Complicated

Shame . . .



(from https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/devin-nunes-impeachment-defense-trump-possible-ukraine-collusion-redefines-partisan-ncna1090261)
". . . As Trump’s loyal attack ferret on the House Intelligence Committee, (Rep. Devin) Nunes has continually pushed the same debunked conspiracy theories about Ukraine, the Democratic National Committee and Crowdstrike . . .  in all of its bizarre contempt for facts, its willingness to ignore and defame witnesses and its zeal to defend the president at all costs — including actively colluding with efforts to dig up dirt on his political opponents. . . we now learn that Nunes may also have travelled to Europe to meet with a former (and highly corrupt) Ukrainian prosecutor to discuss the effort to vilify former Vice President Joe Biden. (Speaking with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, Nunes dodged questions about the report.). . . Nunes’ behavior has become so openly outlandish its drawing fire from former colleagues. . . former Republican congressman and current (long-shot) presidential candidate Joe Walsh tweeted: “One takeaway for what it’s worth: @DevinNunes is a stupid, partisan hack.”. . . Old-fashioned hackery generally consisted of loyalty and a willingness to take one for the party, because hacks were concerned with self-preservation. But the thing about this form of hackery is that there were limits — a point beyond which even the most devoted hack would not go. (See: Watergate.). . . In a world where politicians still retained the capacity for shame, Nunes might have been chagrined by Fiona Hill’s rebuke. It was as close as we have come to the moment when Army counsel Joseph Welch asked Sen. Joseph McCarthy, “Have you no shame?”. . . But shame requires a shared moral universe, and Nunes did not blush. . ."

Glittering . . .


Gold and silver and platinum
Money, love and time
Many are our earthly desires
Be they secondary or prime

Many hours are devoted to the lofty pursuit
Of any explanation or rhyme
Try hard to stay grounded, distinguish between
The ridiculous and sublime


All That Glitters

Airtight . . .



. . . explanation . . . 



(from https://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2019/11/spewing-conspiracy-theories-and-rambling-and-ranting-trump-goes-off-the-rails-in-fox-news-interview-video/)
". . . Bobby Lewis
@revrrlewis
On Fox & Friends, President Trump promotes the completely debunked Crowdstrike conspiracy theory about Ukraine. Steve Doocy asks if he is sure that's what happened, and Trump replies "that's what the word is," going on to ramble about other countries not "putting up money". . . "

Makeup . . .

. . . since it is obviously okay to make-up your own stories when you work in government, and in light of current events, I thought maybe a refresher on Devin Nunes was in order . . . 


". . . In February 2017 Nunes, who served on the Trump transition team, was the first leading House Republican to deny that the intelligence community had evidence of contact between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives. He rejected repeated calls for an investigation by a select committee, saying that the House should not engage in a "witch hunt" and that "at this point, there's nothing there". Nunes also rejected calls that he request President Trump's tax returns. . . At a White House communications aide's request, Nunes spoke to a reporter for The Wall Street Journal to challenge a story about the Trump campaign's connections to Russia. . . When Trump's national security adviser Michael T. Flynn resigned after it was revealed that he had misled Mike Pence about his communication with Russian officials, Nunes said he would not seek to investigate Flynn's ties to Russia: "From everything that I can see, his conversations with the Russian ambassador—he was doing this country a favor, and he should be thanked for it.". . . On March 22, 2017, during the House Intelligence Committee's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, Nunes held a press conference to announce that he had received information that communications of members of Trump's transition team had been "incidentally collected" by the intelligence community. The communications had been obtained legally during foreign intelligence surveillance, but were not related to Russia. He added that the information was "widely disseminated" in the intelligence community and later clarified that Trump associates were not necessarily participants in the intercepted conversations. Nunes had met his source for the information one day earlier at the White House grounds, with a spokesman for Nunes saying this provided "a secure location" to view the material. Although Nunes had characterized his intelligence sources as whistleblowers whose identities he had to protect . . . "
