By Emmett Lee Dickinson:
They pay – with Putin’s Cash – They did now state – the price – A Bounty, for Americans Uncovered by the press – |
By Emily Dickinson:
I pay – in Satin Cash – You did not state – your price – A Petal, for a Paragraph It near as I can guess – |
A Few Notes:
Why hasn't Donald Trump been arrested for treason yet?
Turns out that his buddy Vlad is paying a $100,000.00 bounty for each murdered US soldier in Afghanistan -- AND TRUMP HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR MONTHS. The information was included in his Personal Daily Brief LAST FEBRUARY 27. He was warned in writing and verbally (I call BULLSHIT on anyone who claims that there was NO DISCUSSION about this at the White House). US intelligence even warned our allies about Putin's bounties.
What have the Keystone GOPs done about this? They bumbled around in a sweat to come up with the easiest to swallow tale they could force-feed to the public: "He doesn't read -- and nobody told him." Again, I call BULLSHIT.
In an absurd twist, Kayleigh McEnany, our so-called president's press propagandist, later stated that Trump was the "most informed person on the planet earth" when it comes to the safety of our soldiers. Evidently not, Kayleigh. Evidently not.
I often wonder when will we hit bottom in the dysTrumpian hell hole we have fallen into. I hope and pray this is it. It is hard to imagine anything much lower.

Trump's most recent act of treason called to mind Emmett Lee Dickinson's poem "They pay -- with Putin's cash" so we have posted it as one of our Featured Poems of the Week. Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "I pay -- in Satin Cash," our other featured poem.

By Emmett Lee Dickinson:
Shame is a wicked food Upon a shifting plate Whose table wants a Host for now The second time is set. Who must the crow ingest And with moronic cry Flap past it to the Public's Scorn – Men eat of it and lie. |
By Emily Dickinson:
Fame is a fickle food Upon a shifting plate Whose table once a Guest but not The second time is set. Whose crumbs the crows inspect And with ironic caw Flap past it to the Farmer's Corn -- Men eat of it and die. |
A Few Notes:
As the coronavirus spikes in places like Florida and Texas, a new illness has also emerged in those same hotspots – Crow-navirus – as the Governors and other GOP sicko-phants have had to eat crow about reopening their states too early in the face of the worsening pandemic.
Sean Hannity and other radical right-wing news hosts have also contracted Crow-navirus as they, too, have had to eat crow about their approbation of Trump’s “mission accomplished” attitude toward the TrumpVirus and the rising Trump Death Toll.
Mike Pence tried his damnedest to fend off Crow-navirus at a recent press briefing when he told Americans that things were going well and he continued to praise Trump. Trump himself, a master of deceit and spin, is having a hard time dealing with his own case of Crow-navirus. He’s trying hard not to swallow crow by making moronic statements like, "If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any” (as dumb-as-rocks MAGAts nod their heads and affirm, “ya know, Cleetus, he’s on t’sumpin”).
In tribute to Crow-navirus, we have posted Emmett Lee Dickinson's "Shame is a wicked food" as one of our Featured Poems of the Week. Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "Fame is a fickle food," our other featured poem.
Below: GOP sicko-phants like Florida Governor Ron Desantis, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, radical Fox conspirator Sean Hannity, and so-called Vice President Mike Pence have recently contracted serious cases of Crow-navirus as they have had to eat crow about their misguided views and misinformation campaigns about the COVID19 pandemic.

By Emmett Lee Dickinson:
“The second Wave’s a phony Wave” – A Message so insane, The Messenger’s deceptive too, Forgetting truth again, He makes his base distraction still, Soever made in vain, The saddest time to dam the sea is when the sea is gone – |
By Emily Dickinson:
We send the Wave to find the Wave – An Errand so divine, The Messenger enamored too, Forgetting to return, We make the wise distinction still, Soever made in vain, The sagest time to dam the sea is when the sea is gone – |
A few notes from Dorothy Dawe:
It is truly unbelievable how easily Mike Pence can lie through his teeth without batting an eye. This was completely obvious as far back as his first Vice Presidential debate with Senator Tim Kaine way back in 2016 when he stared directly into the camera and told one whopper after the next.
This week, Pence's skill and ease with dishonesty and deceit was front and center again with some major lies about the coronavirus -- that there would be no second wave and that he hoped state governors would spread misleading claims that new COVID-19 spikes were due only to a rise in testing.
As a result, we have posted Emmett Lee Dickinson's "The second Wave's a phony Wave" as one of our Featured Poems of the Week. Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem, "We send the Wave to find the Wave," our other featured poem.
