Relative to trump, is there any other kind?

Meanwhile a family plans a funeral.

like vote Democratic for a while .... But, you know ... "Family values" n' "Gays" n' "Socializum" - n' such like that.

"May be poor, dumb as a stump, and without a job ... " "But, by God I go to church on Sundays!" "N' I got a right ta' pertect .. !"

It seems to me he made no secret about what he was going to do. It was all in the Project 2025 book.

What "promises" do we think they are talking about?

A great HC system in 2 weeks?
Bring down food costs?
Only deport criminals?
Release the Epstein files?

Nobody is stupid enough to think Trump really meant any of those things, are they?

6. My Poem For Kentucky

Nov 27

I posted this on another thread but this one seems more alive.

Yonder, look, comes a new day
Of infinite hope
Under its warm sun

Do not despair Kentucky, for we stand with you
Under the same blue sky, as we
Make the
Best of each day
As surely as the world turns and the
Stars come out, the
Stars come out for us all. An
End will come to your
Suffering
