SEE YOU LATER, ALLIGATOR (AFTER WHILE, AT YOUR TRIAL)
Dear President Trump (in Spanish-speaking countries, aka Presidente Demente),
As a lover of high-class music and a connoisseur of down-in-the-sewer presidents, I offer for your approbation a selection of appropriate songs for your subjects to remember you by after tomorrow’s adios from the offal office. In plain English, we begin with….
Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall cry hosanna come noon manana — while your base is battling the….
So come on, world! Let’s CELEBRATE!

Some Repubs are saying we can’t unite the country if we have a trial. I’ve got new for them — the country CAN’T be united, because Trump’s base won’t let it be. You can’t appease Trump any more than you could appease Hitler because the power-hungry take appeasement for weakness.

I know, I know! This post is all about Dt’s last days but the really really great thing here was watching and listening to all those kids! Oh, how I wish I had some of their energy! Loved it and have saved it to listen to again when I’m feeling low! Here’s hoping for a good day on Wednesday. We’ll be watching on TV 4pm our time!

You said it, mm. I hear that the “It’s all about me” President has arranged a 21 gun salute and ‘red carpet goodbye’ to send him on his way tomorrow morning. I hope the TV networks have enough good taste not to televise it.

It wasn’t the Air Force, because he bailed out, and he chickened out of the other military branches…..but he has been of service to the Proud Boys. Does that count? 😉

He loves the heat of the tropical south, so why don’t we send him and his acolytes to Guantanamo? Palm Beach has told him that he can’t live at Mar A Lago…what a shame.

Speaking of “whooping it up,” I hear that Trump is thinking of starting a new political party called the PATRIOT PARTY. I could definitely whoop it up for that party.because it would split the GOP into two camps and almost guarantee that the Dems stay in control for years.

Thanks, Rosaliene. I was struck by how little different the dancing in Bill Haley’s 1950s rock ‘n roll video was compared to jitterbug dancing in the 1930s-40s swing era. Here’s a sample of the latter:

If “subjects” includes folks like me,
Your first selection craters
‘Cause there’s no one in this wide world
I’d less like to see later!!
And one addition I suggest
Would really take the prize:
Select it from the many songs
Whose titles say “Don’t lie!”

Don faniies himself a king,
Which, like it or not, would
Make all of us his subjects,
Though he treats us like objects.
But after noon tomorrow, we’ll sing
A song of Don is ‘gone for (no) good’
And first in line among the usual suspects.

I want to kick Trump while he’s down, so I’m hoping for a guilty verdict from the Senate so I can do it after they take away his Secret Service protection.

The Senate trial will be just as much a trial of Senate Republicans as it is of Trump. We don’t need a trial to know who Trump is — we need it to know, once and for all, who each GOP Senator is. My guess is that there will NOT be at least 17 of them who put country and democracy ahead of personal ambition. I hope I’m wrong.
