This Used to Be a Bad LONG Joke. - Now He's Dangerous

Hello Fellow Travelers!


My PS challenged me to write something subtle and indirect.  So I wrote this -                                                                                                                                                                                           
Scuttling Across Washington/New York Walls - The Trump Spider!
                                                                                                                                                                         
Mysterious enough for you?  Too vague?  What does it say?

It says, "I'm sneaky, I'll bite you in your sleep, so you won't sleep.  Ha!  I'm fat but really fast!  You never know where I'll  strike next!  You'd better keep an eye on me." (As if I wouldn't)

I also know what it doesn't say.  It does not say "Welcome!  We'll forcibly take your children, lose them and after a lot of time and money has been wasted some members of your family will be shipped out of the US, and the children, babies, will never see their parents again!  We will not keep records of these families and hold young kids in freezing cages on military bases. I'm not particularly political but this is nothing short of kidnapping and it must stop now.  I am actually ashamed of my country. My country, this government, the USA,  is  stealing kids away from their parents and sending them away in the dead of night.  It isn't American, it's not even human. I thought we were "The Land of the Free and Home of the Brave" not "Give Us Your Tired Masses and We'll Separate Families and Lose Your Children".  There are over 2000 kids currently lost forever.  Infants!  Crying babies!  That awful process shows no sign of improving.  We're responsible.  Our country is doing this in front of the world.  That was blown out of the news cycle by the humiliating "summit" with a smirking Vladimir Putin, who obviously was enjoying himself!  I know the President is routinely criticized for any number of controversial actions and statements.  I see the world a little differently.  I'm severely impaired.  I see the world from a seated position. My viewpoint is little kids and butts. I can't sign my own name or make a phone call.  I've never felt so alive!  My point is we all have challenges to overcome, being an American has always  been a constant, something I could count on in a violent, evil world.  I have enough stressors in my life right now.  Staying alive is a full time endeavor.  A President that needlessly is causing rifts with world leaders, yet who inexplicably fawns over killer dictators and loses children doesn't work for me.  Ruining people, hurting immigrant children is UnAmerican!  To be completely transparent I didn't vote for Our President and I thought we could wait him out.  But like a fat, fast, arachnid, I've been watching his every move, and they are predictably, sadly, bad for the country and good for him.  VP Pence would work better, a chair would work, anything!  The President has me fondly recalling ex-Presidents.  (Ah, yes, do you remember invading Iraq?  "Stormin'  Norman"?) Bush and Cheney are looking better every day!

Maybe I'm missing some history somewhere but doesn't Trump mean the 50's when America was so great?  And isn't Putin an ex-KGB from the old Soviet Union? Whatever happened to "The McCarthy Hearings" and "Better dead than red"?  Hasn't Trump seen "The Americans"?  I thought Russia was "The evil empire". Back when cars had big fins and people smoked cigarettes with impunity.  Russians were sneaky, spies who hated democracy and wanted to destroy America.  Our nation is defined by law and freedom.  I don't  trust ex-KGB officers and I don't think South American babies and refugees are MI6 members.  Duh.  Common sense, right?

I have to believe that there are still millions of rational Americans who still believe in this country and it's principles.  I know that fear and hatred have no place in this world.  John McCain is a hero, an example of America we're all a part of.  Even our cartoon President.  I've been asked "what can a person do?"  A registered voter can do quite a bit, it turns out, even in a wheelchair.

A handicapped individual who's a voter and has a laptop can do all sorts of things like ordering heavy boots with chunky heels to squish small, sneaky, black, spiders!  (Or get my PS to do it:)💙
