(Forgive my show of ill-temper)
Signed and certified
The orange skidmark
Slides down the back
Of US underpants
Floods our shoes
And stains the news
We make a mockery
Of our democracy

(Ok, this wasn’t exactly fun, but it had to be said. Because I’m sad, and we have to go on.) To join in the fun of Just Jot It January (reading or writing your own on the prompt), visit https://lindaghill.com/2025/01/08/one-liner-wednesday-jusjojan25-the-8th-stop-following-me/#like-18645

I’m still feeling shocked by the results. There’s seemingly nothing that orange hate monger can do to be unelectable to the American public. It’s so unbelievable.

Hard to take the high road when the moral ground is crumbling. Poetry shots help!

I like the image you created with your “orange skidmark” reference. “Just stop” is right, but it may be too late.

It should’ve been stopped long ago. When “no.” is the kindest sentence ever.
