Auctioning America
My American soul is sold out To the highest bidder from a romance novel Whose heroine was looking for a real man But found a dime store, Romeo On the dusty shelves which customers shun Those paperbacks have sat there since the thirties When they sold for a nickel a piece But now the odds and ends go for a dollar Including the heartbeat of a woman in solitude To dream of the man I could be If only I dusted off my loafers and went to work But my shoes are beholden only to my feet And they are predicting golf ball sized hail In the garden of earthly delight Where no dogs roam And the only sound is a banjo picker Taking us back to an Alabama Where the rotting carcass of an opossum Collects flies by the road

Brilliant writing, John. I am having a hard time writing about it all. I poured heart and soul into Bernie's campaign, and have been mostly disheartened since. America has lost its freaking mind.

Great thanks Dan. America has indeed lost its freaking mind. I too liked Bernie. I think Hillary would have kept America stable. Trump was a tragedy for America and a poor alternative to Hillary.

Can hardly wait for midterm elections to hopefully get some sorely needed checks and balances back into the system. We desperately need that. Great write, John.

My mother, rest her soul, would be going crazy if she knew Trump was prez.....I think John should run...I nominate John and I want to be VP or Speaker for like, five minutes. I just want to sit in one of those awesome chairs they sit in back there for like five minutes before security drags me off.

Merci beaucoup Foxy my friend. Not having checks and balance is the slippery slope to fascism. We do sorely need them my friend.
Michael, thank you for your vote of confidence in my presidency. I would have great fun signing all those executive orders to reinstate Obama's. Sitting in one of those chairs would be worth getting hauled off by security. lol

We need a woman president! It is far overdue. I nominate you Foxy to become commander in chief. I hear your roar, my friend. And I bow before you as your knight to his queen.
XoXo John

I would totally vote for Tulsi Gabbard or Nina Turner if they were nominated.

Absolutely someone not beholden to big money or lobbyist would be awesome! John

At least, the Dems too back the House, much to Trump's regret. I hope that causes him some grief

Or in other news, our national bowl of crabapples is now 40% peanuts. Better for digestion, but the same end result.

I hope so too Foxy. I hope the dems can do more than create gridlock since the Repubs still control the Senate and presidency. But even putting a stop to Trump would be a miracle.
Dan, you are exactly right. Let's hope for some improvement however great or small for America.
