VETERAN OF A MILLION POLITICAL WARS

VETERAN OF A MILLION POLITICAL WARS

You see me now a veteran of
a million political wars
I am a Democrat living in a
world of Ultra-Right Wing zombies
They spew forth their Conservative
platform and call it a cure
They rant on and on with hate
speech and all of that manure
I am far too old to fight them off
I am far too weak to keep them away
I'm not sure that there's anything left to me

Don’t let this mess go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
All of our efforts are in vain
I just can’t take the strain
Oh please don't let this mess go on

You ask me why I’m weary,
why I say these things to you
You attack me for being Liberal,
saying it’s time I changed and grew
But the fight is still going on dear,
and there's no end that I know
And I can't say if we're ever...
I can't say if were ever gonna be free

Don’t let this mess go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
All of our efforts are in vain
I just can’t take the strain
Oh please don't let this mess go on

You see me now a veteran of
a million political wars
My energy's spent at last
And my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my strengths
and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?

Don’t let this mess go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
All of our efforts are in vain
I couldn’t take the strain
Oh please don't let this mess go on
Don’t let this mess go on
Don’t let this mess go on

How to embarrass yourself without really trying

I have to admit that I did not think 45 could sink this low. His record when he came into OUR White House was self-explanatory SCAM ARTIST. And he got the most important job in this country. Now he does not want to leave because he is a sore loser.

The non-communication that we are getting. He still tweets that he won the election but there is no speech in public

NO CONCESSION SPEECH
NO TALK ABOUT PRESIDENT-ELECT JOE BIDEN AT ALL
NO NOTHING

IF HE DOES NOTHING ABOUT THIS
MAYBE IT WILL ALL GO AWAY
ANF THEN SOMEBODY WILL SAY TO HIM
“GUESS WHAT YOU WON THE ELECTION”

POLL WORKERS

I would like to take this time to thank all of the poll workers out there that are counting all of the votes cast in this election.

In an ordinary election you count the votes and a winner can be projected by that night. This ensures that our democracy is protected. For ballots that are too close to call it takes awhile. As evidenced in several States with this election.

Add to this the Pandemic which made massive numbers of citizens mail in there ballots and the turmoil stirred up by 45 and you get a volatile situation.

Poll workers need to be escorted by police to and from their cars when they are not in the buildings housing the counting machines.

GIVE ME A BREAK

IT HAS COME TO THIS IN THE WORLD'S GREATEST NATION.

Remember when

45 was calling Joe Biden "Sleepy Joe".

Well he has been put to sleep.

RE POST

At this time after I watched the incredibly moving victory speeches by Vice President Elect Kamala Harris and President Elect Joseph Biden I would like to celebrate this great achievement by taking a look back to a post that I put on DU a few years ago.

I posted this in the summer of 2017. I rearranged the lyrics to a Bob Dylan song. Following my lyrics are additional lyrics from another DU member red dog 1…who I still need to give credit to.



With apologies to Bob Dylan, folk music artists, folk music fans, and maybe even some flower children


SWINGIN' IN THE WIND

How many things can a man do wrong
Before we say he has gone too far?
How many times can a man repeat a wrong
over and over before we call it bizarre?

How many lives can a man
disrupt before we take a stand?
How many seas can a man pollute
before we say not in our land?
How many times will we let the insults fly
Before they’re forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is swingin' in the wind
The answer is swingin' in the wind

How many years can a criminal empire exist
Before everyone is tried and sent to jail?
How many times must we keep seeing this
Before honesty and truth prevail?
How many times can the justice system turn its head
And pretend that it just doesn’t see – the answer
The answer, my friend, is swingin' in the wind
The answer is swingin' in the wind

How many times can a man look up
Before he sees the sky?
How many ears must one person have
Before he can hear people cry?
And how many deaths will it take 'till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friends, is swingin' in the wind
The answer is swingin' in the wind
Oh, the answer, my friends, is swingin' in the wind
The answer is swingin' in the wind




Here are the lyrics from red dog 1

How many times can a man tell a lie
Before he is known as a liar?
How many deaths can he cause by his deeds
Before he will roast in Hell's fire?

How many tweets can he post every day
Just to lash out at all those he hates?
How much junk food can he shove in his mouth
Before he can't fit through the gates?

How many threats can he make against those
Who refuse to do what he wants?

The answer, my friend, is blowing through his hair,
The answer is blowing through his hair

Unbelievable

When Joe is so close to 270 we have to watch 45, a man drowning in his own bullshit.

Just when we have to fight
the Coronavirus
National Deficit
Climate Change
just to name a few things.

You would never catch a Democrat behaving like that.

We have a chance

To get that jerk out of OUR White House and elect Joe Biden in. This is where we will not have to listen that jerk ever again.

I am pretty that a substantial number of people in the whole world want him out.

Hell even some aliens in outer space "Can you just get that idiot to SHUT UP".

FRAUD ALERT

I am thoroughly pissed off. I went through my Yahoo Spam file today. I found an email from Amazon for stuff that I never ordered. The email had my complete name in it.

These individuals ( for lack of a better term ) are getting
A 77 inch LG TV with Xbox One. All of this on a Protection Plan. This stuff costs just over $6,000.00

This is supposed to be shipped to some address in
Wilmington, Delaware.

I checked the balances on my credit cards. They are alright.
Next I Googled Amazon and forwarded that email to their Fraud Department.

The nerve of these jerks.
