Crumbled Gullible, naïve or ill informed All a danger to democracy Do you regret the choice you made or are the blinders firmly in place If so, I must ask do you think it’s okay the damage he’s done or do you allow his loyalists’ twisted reasons to stand While the world crumbles around you? #poetry

It’s National Poetry Month April 8 Dump tRump There are no reasons, there are no rhymes When such a “man” commits so many crimes Oh, the horror of that arrogant orange face Seen seated in such a lofty place Impeach! Impeach! Impeach! I shout Useless, desperate demands to get him out.

Lately, this scene in the Wizard of Oz comes to mind, except the guards are those under the threat of a felon, but once he’s vanquished, there’s something to rejoice. “Hail to truth. At last the wicked ‘king” is dead.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiiA... #factsmatter #democracynow #felon

This from a felon/liar who said he knew nothing about Project 2025 when he was campaigning: P-O-S tRump signed an executive order calling for the dismantling of the U.S. Education Department, advancing a campaign promise to take apart an agency that has been a longtime target of conservatives.
