Bad Timing
For all the chaos at the border.
It is going to be at least three months before some bullied or abused kid with too much access to wmd’s can divert the attention momentarily of children being separated from their family and held in cages. Maybe never to be reunited.
“You see it in their faces
The saddness in their tears
The desperation and the anger
Madness and the fear
No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, just greed is here
Starvation and the hunger
The suffering and the pain
The agonies of all-out war
When will it come again?
The struggle for the power
A tyrant tries again
Just what the hell is going on?
When will it ever end? //”

Rather substance over the substanceless.
Let’s see, hmm what else??
A wall, yeah a bigger wall, oops, that’s not working, since it can be gotten over or around, by airplane or boat. Darn.
No wait, a dome, a big dome the biggest best dome ever in the history of domes, no one builds domes like I build domes.
Believe me. Please believe me, please. The fantasy of illusion works better. Kinda like clapping your hands so tinker bell heals. It only works if you believe.
Plus, since we are starting our space military, we’re going to make the aliens pay for the dome, yeah yeah, the murdering Martians and vile Venusians.
Them…..Or the Canadians or Jhina
Be not afraid earthlings, the dictator of distractions will protect all of you with the new global security policy..
If, …sniff….you’ll just pay a little more attention to me…. I. ….sniff…cough….sob.
I can be loved right, so that maybe I won’t have to align myself with deadly dictators who are in the same emotional boat.
A presidential pedophile molesting the minds of migrant minors by breaking their biological bonds, traumatizing their trust, depriving dignity, assaulting their autonomy.
