Judah’s Limerick
“Woe unto them” cries the Holy Book
“that call evil good“, you needn’t look
further, upending justice
with a heart full of malice
Oh, America, please welcome the crook!
New York Grand Jury Votes To Indict Former President Trump
News Story
Opinion: Trump wins 2024 election. America needs to admit it’s not ‘better than this.’
We are a country that just elected – that just willfully chose – one of the most cruel, unscrupulous and transparently self-serving political figures in modern history to be president. Again.
Rex Huppke
When an unhinged and unqualified billionaire like Elon Musk is put in charge of slashing the federal government to bits, that will be what America chose.
When the Department of Education is abolished and our education system falls into the hands of right-wing ideologues and religious zealots, that’s the outcome of the choice U.S. voters made.
When Trump’s tariffs hit and drive up prices across the board for consumers, it won’t be the fault of the myriad economists who told us what would happen. It will be the thing a majority of Americans chose. It will be the economic pot they chose to be boiled in, even though the Biden-Harris administration has the economy rocking.
The stakes of this election could not have been more clear and could not have been broadcast any louder. Vice President Kamala Harris ran as smart a campaign as I’ve seen. She reached across the aisle and offered a big tent for people to seek shelter. She was qualified – as a former prosecutor, a former U.S. senator and a vice president – in ways Trump could never imagine.
Face it, America. We’re a country that picked Trump – a second time.
But America chose the guy who cavalierly said he’d be a dictator for a day. Voters chose the guy who denounces our allies and cozies up to our enemies. Voters chose the guy who is an adjudicated rapist, a role model to none, an often-incoherent and always hate-fueled loon who has turned Americans against each other in ways I never thought possible.
Voters chose Trump. He won. Cruelty won. Bullying won.
And that’s who America is right now. We are Trump, and we will own every bit of the shameful and painful and embarrassing things he does. We are not “better than this.” We lost the right to make that claim the moment the presidential race was called.

God save us
One primary takeaway from this election is that an even darker, more MAGA movement has taken hold. At a recent rally, Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, joined Trump on stage in a black MAGA cap, declaring: “I’m not just MAGA, I’m dark MAGA.”
In Trump’s warped view, an electoral loss would have been proof of cheating, but a win is a triumph of the will. In America today, conspiracy theories seemingly attract votes.
Unbelievable! Shows who they really are. God save America.
You need a Felon of sorts to control Felons like Big Pharma and Military Industrial Complex Giants
And he made an election campaign speech holding a Bible in his hand ending his speech… we’ll make America a praying nation again! Done is done, we have to put up with him. And we should pray ‘ please please dear God bang down Wisdom on his head so that his decisions are less stupid’! Hear our cries Lord!
Unable to keep my silence after reading the above;
no denying the truth in it’.
I have been a supporter of the democratic party since the morning of 23rd November 1963 when my mother opened ‘The Indian Express’ and broke down in tears,
till decades later,
a ” ‘White’ skinny guy, ‘with a brown skin tone’, and a funny name”, shamelessly accepted the Nobel Peace Prize, which he had done nothing to earn….’
(My subjective belief was that a magnanimous non-acceptance of the same, would have inspired millions all’ over the world to introspect into a better life)
Ignorant and un-informed people can vote for the worst criminal….
it still would not take away the fact? that ‘every saint has a past, and every sinner a future’.
Over time, the democratic party has degenerated into a septic tank.
More than half the voting population of the USA cannot be that wrong, hoping for a better future.
This is what you get (deserve) when these decisions are left to the uneducated non thinking myopic electorate focused on expediency!
Well said.
Thank you
Well said
A fair analysis
Agreed, much prayer is needed
