Evidently he went in on the plane that brought these Japanese out.
Home is where one starts from. As we grow older
The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated
Of dead and living. Not the intense moment
Isolated, with no before and after,
But a lifetime burning in every moment
And not the lifetime of one man only
But of old stones that cannot be deciphered.
There is a time for the evening under starlight,
A time for the evening under lamplight
(The evening with the photograph album).
Love is most nearly itself
When here and now cease to matter.
Old men ought to be explorers
Here or there does not matter
We must be still and still moving
Into another intensity
For a further union, a deeper communion
Through the dark cold and the empty desolation,
The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters
Of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning.
When all Earth’s seas shall Levitate,
Dark shawled within the skies,
Upon our eyes will Starfish dance
Their waltz of Blind surprise.
The sun will Rise within wine Dark
As Argonauts imbibed,
Whose drunken arms embrace that sleep
Where Phaeton’s horses Stride.
Upon all of Earth’s wind-sanded shores,
As dolphins Learn to soar,
All we once were on the land
Shall be sealed behind the door
Of Ivory and Chastened Gold,
That the Mystery solved complete
Shall never til the seas’ Long fall
Wake mariners from their sleep.
— Van der Leun
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
— The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot

That is how H Biden will skate free from any subpoena to testify at the Trump impeachment trial. He would be quarantined due to his supposed *visit* to the coronavirus center in China. Am I on track here?
I cannot get it out of my mind that we are dealing with professional, international class criminals here.
I hate to admit it but have come to the conclusion that nobody who committed any crimes with leaking, or mishandling classified information is going to jail. IRS’s Lois Lerner is skating free. The FBI thugs with faked information for FISA warrants are not going to jail. The thugs in the Justice Dept are not going to jail. Comey who leaked classified information is not going to jail. The folks spying on Donald Trump and his associates are not going to jail.
These folks are all crooked as a broke dick dog. The only guy that seems decent and MIGHT go to jail is Flynn. I sure hope Trump give that dude a pardon.
Snake sed:
“(gov’t employees) who committed any crimes with leaking, or mishandling classified information is going to jail.”
=========
Well yeah, that’s business as usual in the non-reality world of US gov’t.
Gov’t employees quickly learn that is normal, and try their best to exceed it all the time.
Amazingly enough there are plenty of non-gov’t people out there that approve of this behavior.
Amazingly enough there are plenty of non-gov’t people out there that approve of this behavior.
And they prove this, time and time again, every time they step into the ballot box to cast their vote for their masters, no matter how crooked they are.
When you’re on the woke side of history it’s all for the greater good. How can it be otherwise when your motives are pure?

So General Flynn is apparently calling the DOJ’s bluff, threatened to withdraw his Guilty plea and go to trial; whereupon the DOJ recanted on asking for prison time at sentencing.
It should be obvious to all that the Dept. of Justice is still Obama’s DOJ. (No Clinton or Bush Judges, Ha!)
