A lot from Lydia ~
How do I hate thee? Let me count the days.
I hate thee even knowing quite soon thee might
Be led out in handcuffs, taken out of sight
For Russian collusion, an invalid presidential race
I hate thee and all thee three a.m.lying twitter communiqués
Thee loser won, but ’tis climate change, the planet lost this fight.
I hate thee freely, as expression is my First Amendment right.
I hate thee covfefe in chief, for “alternate fact” is now a phrase.
I hate thee White SuPresident, Putin’s muse
For twenty one tampered states, for
lost electoral faith.I hate thee for misogyny, racism, trumpery, treason, hypocrisy — choose
False cries of: “Russian Hoax” I hate thee as Mueller’s breath,
Heats thee orange neck, exposing a traitorous life; and, if God choose,
History shall hate thee better and forever after death.
