Where he seems to be a perfect fit
A man of the cloth
Faux cloth
Could see him trying to lead a megachurch
Or a Girl Scout troop
He doesn’t care about being AG. The nomination gave him the out he needed.
So sorry America, I’m sure you deserved better than this!
This new series will be insane.
Apparently it superseded his re-election

Our voices still matter.
Our pressure still matter.
Our dissent still matters.
Our persistence still matters.
We won't obey in advance.
E Pluribus Unum.
Many voices as one.
We. The. People. Rule.
