Two things: 1. My grandson, Michael, wrote an excellent rebuttal to my poelitic: Musings, which I have added to the Musings post. You can read it by visiting this blog site and select the Musings post. 2. I recommend two recent articles: a poignant response to Trump’s win by Teacherken (Daily Kos), and by Garrison Keillor (also published in the Daily Kos)
In facing distasteful results, generally
We question: What’s next, what is yet to be done?
We’ve witnessed no real change in Trump since he’s won
And really unsettling problems we see
As we’ve noted earlier, Trump was allied
With Vladimir Putin who helped spawn this wreckage
Now Trump will be privy to CIA knowledge
Pertaining to Russia, our plans and our spies
A second concern deals with Trump’s sprawling empire
With holdings in Russia and elsewhere as well
All placed in a “blind” trust and managed, do tell,
By Donald’s own children. What wrong could transpire?
We’re deeply concerned to what Trump might resort
The actions he promised, our values ignored
We must demonstrate and use words as our swords
And in Congress to block ugly bills that report
However, Trump spoke to our middle-class mess
Wall Street and big money, the Glass-Steagall Act
And social security, keep it in tact
The high cost of college and drugs he’d address
He spoke infrastructure, of jobs at long last
And child care and trade deals, all there on his plate
Republicans mostly view these with distaste
They’ll need Dem. agreement in order to pass
