Better than I do

NOT better than me

Trump was given due process under the laws of New York and received the equal protection of the laws of that state. What more could we want. Just because he once was President of the United States, or someone who has (or had) wealth and fame, doesn't mean he should receive any special treatment under the law. I think a prison term of 8 or 12 years should be enough to teach him a lesson and to rehabilitate him, add on a fine of $250,000 to $500,000 just to make sure the rehabilitation sticks.

Unfortunately for us and justice, after he’s re-elected, he will simply suspend the State of New York’s government under the “Insurrection Act," make the conviction go away, and put the judge, prosecutors, and witnesses in a detention camp, where they will break big rocks into little ones for the rest of their lives.

Oh if you were American...

Oh if you really knew what Americans need now and want now.

It's so complicated, but we don't want a "certain" human in power. We just want our Constitution, our Bill of Rights back, our "power (given back) to the people" ~John Lennon. We've been lied to and manipulated by every sort of media over decades, us Americans. Those who didn't want to be brainwashed still stand strong. None of us knows what this year will bring but we are Americans who love America, and we know what we are fighting against. Because when we say it, we're called racist, homophobic, misogynistic, a white supremest, far right, religious nut, and it matters not who we are as individuals. I don't like it when anyone is painted with the broad brush. Not only is it a shallow way of looking at people, but it is not helping anything. That is just my humble opinion as an American who moved to a British colony, Canada, and thus has truly felt the chasm between the countries, But I don't like chasms between people. I like connection on common ground. Who is the Bloated Yam? I don't know. You don't know. And neither of us can count on other people to tell us. My opinion anyway. And so far, I think it's not a crime to state my opinion. Could be soon though, the way Canada, one of the colonies is going. Best to look up and be of help to other humans. Never mind all else. :)

I AM an American.

I was born and raised in New York City, to me “the mystic dirt of home.”

Fourth-generation native New Yorker on my father’s side.

My mother’s family, however, has provided the British Crown with Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and civil servants from the reign of HM King Charles II (1680) to that of HM King Charles III (2024).

So I have divided loyalties.

U.S.A. too, has provided anyone who asks, and gives them money, soldiers, sailors, ammo, tanks, weapons, bombs, drugs, money, children, slaves, and it's all under wraps. Covered up with lies. Great Britain lies also. Centuries of lies. They have never gotten over the fact that they were defeated by mere colonists and so they have played the long game to win back their pride in being a powerful empire. And they are doing a great job of it. That is what I mean about lies we were told. You were told the same lies. We don't know what your 'Bloated Yam', as you call him will do, and what I know is that President Trump is hated and maligned and ridiculed and the mob has never left him alone since he left his old life to enter the political life. That to me, says he must be a threat to those powers that want to keep us in their control; a threat to the current regime in the White House and the current crop of false senators and representatives who lie to stay in the money, in political power.

Disgusting mess we're in. There has to be someone who tells the truth. I'm not waiting for a saviour. A mere human cannot save the world. But together, those of us who want truth can.

Pointing fingers and insulting people because of their views on political matters is not helping. Neither is name calling. In my opinion.

I have Kiwi friends. They are just as confused as I am but we never let political bullshit get in the way of loving each other.

Politics is corrupt by design. We need a new system in the USA. In Canada too. As for other countries, I only have an opinion based on what I piece together but I don't think the world's population is being done any favours by any world leaders at the moment.

Very great musical comment on Mr. Trump's downfall! And as a special bonus, I get Queen as today's earworm (there's always one singing in my brain, so it's nice when it's a good one). Thank you! 👍

Glad you enjoyed it…I wanted to put in more songs, but I couldn’t.

This one is also fitting, but maybe from the other side.
