Were on the table
For all the world to see
Nancy had an Ace high straight
Donald had two wild cards
(Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh)
Plus has a queen of diamonds
A three of clubs, and six of spades
No heart anywhere
Still couldn’t convince the dealer
He had a winning hand
Ooopsie
Maybe that is why he
Lost money in casinos
He doesn’t understand
Probability and outcome
.
When the next hand is dealt
Before the cards are revealed
Nancy can offer to build a wall
To isolate America from
Society’s worst criminals
Upon agreement
Construction can begin
Placing four walls around
The White House
Trump Tower and
Mar a lago
“Mexico is paying for the wall.”
“Indirectly”
– 45
Through the uscanmex
Or however the
Conartist renamed the
Trade agreement
Formerly known as NAFTA
With a little #45 polish on it
Which means that the
American taxpayer / consumer
Would still be paying for the wall
Duh
How stooopid
Does he think
The public is…….
.
Never mind
With a little collusion
Some social
Media manipulation
Bogus bots
Telling and swaying
Voters, consumers & taxpayers
What to think
Through spacious
Fear based FB posts
Faux regurgitation
Of hyperbolized bogeymen
(Rapists and murderers)
(Drugs, gangs and criminals)
Gee
None which were here
Before
“They” got here
WTF?
Even though statistically it
Doesn’t bear out
.
Having campaign managers
And TV lawyers work for
Him for free
(Paul and Rudy)
(Technically not conflicted because
Technically, 45’s not paying them)
Imagine that
45’s not paying
Compensated by their
Side hustles
Distraction and deceit
As long as the
Bupkus baby billionaire
Gets to feed his
Fevered ego
.
Is this really any different
Than the slight of hand
Ruse of previous administrations
To keep the people
Fighting amongst themselves
With deadly and
Dizzying distractions
Designed to deceive
(The culprits are in Afghanistan
Let’s look in Iraq) GWB
Or
It is unconstitutional to
Assassinate foreign leaders
(Unless you need a distraction
From an erratic economy) BHO
Dull and dumb down
Loving and compassionate
Bipedal earthling artists
That
Given their own
Collective devices
Would look out
For each other
‘Stead of accepting and
Being told a
Bogeyman
Is under the bed
I mean
Beyond an invisible line
Documented as a dots and dashes
Drawn on a map
So
Governments and goons
Can keep laughing
All the way
To the bank
“I feel good tonight, I really do.
I finally got something I always wanted and that’s important. It really is.
I finally got some, uh…. hostages.
Well, you see so many people with hostages nowadays and you say,
“Hey, I’d like some, too!”
So I’ve got three of ’em, they’re really nice people.
We’re getting along great, they’re tied in a sack, outside, at the top of the flagpole.
And I’m gonna blow ’em up at midnight, too.
Unless, of course,
I get my…… three demands.
A hundred thousand in cash,
A getaway car and
I want the letter M stricken from the English language.
See, you have to make one crazy demand, that way, if you get caught, you can plead insanity.
Ha ha….. Getaway car.
What other gags are there?”

When the official policy
Of the United States is
Not to negotiate
With terrorists
Is it any wonder
Nancy and Chuck
Refuse to give in to
The demands of 45
Albeit a little strange
That the
Despotic dictator
Hostage holder
Is bunkered down
In an oval office?
Rather
“Thee” “Oval Office”
Holding 800,000
Americans hostages
Restricting their freedom
And ability to provide
For their families
Having some work
WITH OUT PAY
I believe that was
Once known as slavery.
Single handedly doing this
Unless, of course,
He gets his….. three demands.
The optics of not appearing foolish
A return to his former life
And an ineffective, scaleable, cutable, that one could pass illicit packages through, wall, barrier or peaches.
See, 45 had to make one crazy demand, that way, when he gets caught, he can plead insanity.
Ha ha….. Not appearing foolish and a return to his former life.
What other gags are there?”
Might be kinda difficult to pull those off, whilst handcuffed wearing an orange jumpsuit, behind a concrete wall.
Wouldn’t it be great / ironic
If those 800,000 immediately
Found good gainful employment
Never to return
And when the partial shutdown ends
Nobody will take those jobs
To be put in that situation
Of being held hostage
By their own president
That they’d be “forced” to hire
Undocumented workers
.
Not sure if that is black irony
But it is definitely brown irony

45’s racism is as transparent
As the slat wall he wants
To keep the epidermisly
Darker than him
Bipedal earthling artists
On the other side
I am so sick
Of this wall discussion
It is beneath us
Oh wait
That is the tunnel
Underneath it
Hopefully
I’ll get over it
Just have to
Work through it
Till we all realize
We are all on
The same spaceship
Is that so f’n difficult?
Our only border
Protecting all of us
Is that eggshell
Fragile atmosphere
That sees
What is happening
Patience wearing thin
Must need remember
“It’s just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love.
The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.
Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.”

Emotional arguments are based on fear
Intelligent arguments are based on logic
Rational arguments are based on science
Religious arguments are based on beliefs
Where this should have stopped.
Contrarian arguments are based on dichotomy
Friendly arguments are based on uncertainty
Political arguments are based on ideology
Ideological arguments are based on perceptions
Mathematical arguments are based on equations
Irrational arguments are based on delusion
Race arguments are based on ignorance
Biblical arguments are based on fiction
The best way to win an argument.
Besides not having one in the first place.
Concede.
Both / all, are opinions and based on nothing but electrical impulses floating loose in sponge like gray matter, protected by a calcium cranium.
Miraculously transferred to lungs and larynx. Even more phenomenal is how the sounds are transmitted to a tiny drum, hammer, anvil and stirrup.
Adding to the mix is the ocular activity receiving infinite pixels in three dimensions, deciphering facial expressions and body language in varying degrees of illumination.
So yeah, quit arguing. That is how you win.
Build it already
Or at least say you are going to

5b A Wall
10b Steel Slats
200b A Dome
.
Whatever it takes
To get it off of the news airwaves
All I hear now
Every time it is mentioned
Are the lyrics
From the song “Separate Lives”
Sung by Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin
As it crescendos orchestrally
In the middle of the song
“So you build that wall (Phil)
Build that wall (Marilyn)
Yes, you build that wall (Phil)
Build that wall (Marilyn)
And you make it stronger”
Which quickly supplanted
Pink Floyd’s lyric
“All we are is
Just another
Brick in the wall”
Much more mellow
And carries me away
To the rest of the song
.
Here’s where you know
This is just a dopey distraction
Against “crime and drugs”
.
Wouldn’t the “Steel Slats”
Amount to nothing more than
An international exchange window?
Transferring cocaine for cash. Huh?
.
Besides in a country
So allegedly strapped
In a trillion dollar deficit
Has a few billion
Floating around to
Waste on an ineffective wall
(Most crossings are at
Airports and visa over stays)
Can’t we send some
Friendly folks and
Entrepreneurs to
Guatemala and Honduras
To at least try and fix
What it is the refugees
Are escaping from?
.
Wouldn’t that be something
That Jesus fellow would do?
Without weapons by the way.
Seeing how, there must not be
Any oil there
Or we’d send troops immediately.
And we know
That is usually done
At All Cost
No more fodder
.
We are pulling
For you Nancy and Rashida
.
Keep your
Heads up
Eyes open
Ears perked
Mouths shut
Minds focused
And your
Noses to the grindstone
Lead with your
Heads and your hearts
Here’s the fodder to avoid.
“… most of us, speaking for myself, consider the wall immoral, ineffective, expensive, and the president said he promised it. He also promised Mexico would pay for it. So, even if they did, it’s immoral still …”
– Nancy Pelosi
.
Ooops
.
A wall is an inanimate object, it is neither moral or immoral. It would be a colossal waste of money and yes infective.
Here’s a few pointers.
Separating families escaping a dire situation as a deterrent is immoral. Separating families is immoral, scapegoating immigrants is immoral.
Selling out your country is immoral. Making unkeepable, impossible, illogical promises is immoral. A wall is just a wall.
Likewise Representative Rashida Tlaib
No more fodder like this.
.
“And when your son looks at you and says, ‘Mama look, you won. Bullies don’t win,’ and I said, ‘Baby, they don’t,’ because we’re gonna go in there and we’re going to impeach the motherf****r,”
– Rashida Tlaib
I appreciate the passion, the “shock” value of words, but it feeds the hate. The hate that you’ve worked towards eliminating.
You’ve created for yourself an opportunity to nationalize your progressive actions. Stay busy doing that, build upon inspiring more people to your thinking.
Besides the Donald has his “Dan Quayle” in Mike Pence. Who, methinks might be a lot more destructive from a different direction.
While impeachment might sound ominous, based on Nixon resigning before it occurred. It is neither a tar and feathering or immediate removal from office.
To impeach merely means charging a public official with a crime. If justice wasn’t so blind, and was a means to a peaceful end, we’d see nearly every president could be or have been charged as war criminals.
Regardless, as slow as the wheels of justice turn for (allegedly) wealthy white “pink” people, it will be 2020 before anything is done.
By that time, either one of you could be president.
45 is 45’s own worst enemy and appears to need absolutely no help in self-destruction.
All the posturing and grandstanding is keeping nearly 1m people out of their indentured servitude (employment).
Furloughing the wrong federal workers, when around 535 + 1 would have done the trick. So the rest of the country could easily go about their meaningful lives.
So Nancy and Chuck here’s the plan. Take a page from the perjurious petulant presidential petty playbook.
LIE.
Tell 45, you’ll set up a super special secret meeting that not only are you going to fund his “wall”. For the optics of him being the great negotiator, make it 10 billion. Besides, he’ll sign anything as it is apparent, he can’t read.
Let him know it will be a see through wall, arrange to meet him at a specific place at the border. Hire a few hundred Mexican mimes, “attempting” to hurdle and climb this extremely “clear” wall.
Video record all of this “Candid Camera ” / “Punk’d” style. Let him go on “Faux and Enemies”, brag how he not only got funding for the wall, he doubled it.
Approved the prototypes and it will be a very fast process and will be done in a few weeks to erect this big, huge, the best, greatest incredibly transparent barrier all along the 2300 miles. (Part of which was stolen in the first place.)
This of course will be an exit strategy and a dilemma, for it may suffice his base, Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, semi aware, that the emperor has no clothes.
He will lose his tool of distraction. Which, when the “real” footage is played globally on CNN that there “really” is no “wall”.
45 can kick, scream and whine that the “dems” colluded with Mexico to deceive him, his base, Ann and Rush.
To which Nancy and Chuck can repetitiously regurgitate and repeat, there was no collusion, even though the “evidence” shows otherwise.
Quintupling down on stupidity

Wall, wall, wall
Safety
Security
Drugs
Crime

Holy #uck 45, if a wall is your argument for Mexico.
Why aren’t you proposing a dome over Chicago?
Reality is
We don’t know what we don’t know
Now what do we do
Looking at the world through a windshield.
