[image: image.png] poem by Lyn Ekedahl *The Donald Slouches Near by Lyn Ekedahl* And so we wait, in dread and fear, As the Donald slouches near. It’s hard to such a thing intuit, But the Fascist just might do it.
His ugliness on full display— For lots of folks, that’s still okay. “Just politics!” They shrug and smile. Or say, “It’s lies!” They’re in denial.
So many folks so disaffected? Feeling terribly neglected? Thinking that the Don’s the answer? The Don? That narcissistic cancer?
And is misogyny in play? It is, I think I’d have to say. “Hell no, not a female leader! I’d rather choose that bottom feeder!”
The press is once again remiss. Kamala that; the Donald this. Lets the Donald do his weaving, Speaking nonsense, hatred heaving.
It’s shocking, but we might elect him! Many millions might select him! The only way to sink his boat? For all our sakes, get out that vote! *portion of Michelle Obama’s speech in Michigan *At a rally in Michigan for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris on Saturday, former first lady Michelle Obama warned potential Trump voters that women were at risk of becoming “collateral damage to your rage” as Republicans curtail access to lifesaving healthcare under the guise of restricting abortion. Part one: it is Texas time…we grab Chris Tomlinson Houston Chronicle Chris writes commentary about money, politics and life in Texas for Hearst Newspapers. Character is critical in the U.S. Senate race in Texas. Colin Allred has it. Ted Cruz doesn’t. Research shows managers should focus on character when hiring to create a healthy culture, and voters should do the same. Trump has threatened to jail his critics. As one of them, should I worry?Voters cannot be sure when to take former President Donald Trump’s threats seriously. part two: Bill Curry: was a Connecticut state senator, comptroller and two time Democratic nominee for governor who served as Counselor to the President in the Clinton White House. He has written for Salon, the Daily Beast, the Huffington Post and the Hartford Courant and has provided commentary on National Public Radio, MSNBC and many other news outlets.
