While the President’s day was this:
The Democrats day was this:
Game… Set…
Stone-cutters fighting time with marble, you foredefeated
Challengers of oblivion
Eat cynical earnings, knowing rock splits, records fall down,
The square-limbed Roman letters
Scale in the thaws, wear in the rain. The poet as well
Builds his monument mockingly;
For man will be blotted out, the blithe earth die, the brave sun
Die blind and blacken to the heart:
Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained
thoughts found
The honey of peace in old poems.
— Robinson Jeffers
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
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
The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.
Gerard Van der Leun

I only pray they continue on a path toward imploding. About half this country is still going to vote for the chief clown that crawls out from this carnival.
“About half this country is still going to vote for the chief clown that crawls out from this carnival.”
A thought that should alarm any rational person anywhere!
Good grief, how embarrassing.
That idiocy reflects exactly what the US will be forced to endure if any of these FUBAR’s ever holds a public office.
Embarrassing, completely embarrassing. Most of those loons have held or are holding an high political office in this country. My Senator is one of them, she represents my state in Washington D.C., supposedly. But she got elected with the votes of the larger cities only, in my own town, not one yard sign for “Warren”. The vote and the election was ‘in the bag’, a mathematical certainty, Warren didn’t really waste her time and money campaigning. Pity there isn’t an Electoral College at the state level.
If North Dakota doesn’t want to be ruled by Los Angeles or NYC, neither does Weymouth want to be ruled by Boston and Springfield.
Whiney schoolgurlz arguing over nail polish.
A whole buncha people chose these misfits to represent them, and you.
Trump won that “debate”.

Including, alas, dead Republicans and criminal aliens, many of which will vote twice or thrice.
