Out of Commission

I had absolutely no idea how fragile our democracy is (is it too early to say "was"?) -- but I had no idea that one of our major parties, the GOP, would work so vigorously to destroy our government.  Oh, I've known for many years that their self-proclaimed monopoly on "family values" was a thin disguise, but I didn't think they would be complicit in a Russian-puppet's seditious attempt to over-throw our fair and free presidential election.   I didn't think they would back that same traitor's "big lie."  I didn't think that they would obstruct a bi-partisan commission to get to the bottom of that same con-man's coup attempt last January  -- most likely because a number of our current GOP senators and representatives were in on the planning for the insurrection. It is all truly shocking.

Trump must grin like an orange Cheshire cat every time the GOP covers up his crimes. He must thank God that MAGAts are so incredibly naive and stupid.

Due to the GOP's duplicitous dealings with one of history's most extreme con artists, I have posted Emmett Lee Dickinson's "Of GOP he asks one favor" below on the left.  Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her pome "Of God we ask one favor," below on the right.

By Emmett Lee Dickinson:

Of GOP he asks one favor,
That he may be forgiven –
For what, he most certainly knows –
His Crime, from us, is hidden –
Although they took one Life
So he should go to Prison
They cover up his Nastiness
That too completes this Villain. 
​

By Emily Dickinson:

Of God we ask one favor,
That we may be forgiven –
For what, he is presumed to know –
The Crime, from us, is hidden –
Immured the whole of Life
Within a magic Prison
We reprimand the Happiness
That too competes with Heaven.
