What We Could Have Had

We Could Have Had The Bright, Beautiful Black Lady

Regrets?

I wonder if anyone that voted for “The Donald” is finally tired of the insanity and has regrets. I recall years ago the Dream Date game – you could get a handsome male or the dud; we sure got The dud. A popular game show allows contestants the opportunity to choose curtains number one, two, or three but beware, a booby prize is behind one of those curtains. We got zonked big time, but unlike that game of chance, the deal those who voted for the orange monster was a deal made with the Devil.

We Had Our Chance

We had the golden opportunity to elect the most accomplished, the most beautiful,  the most gracious, and the most compassionate, and highly intelligent attorney-prosecutor to ever seek the presidency, but those who are ruled by racism and sexism chose the weak wizard behind the ugly curtain. Now we’ve been zonked and I don’t know if I can last another 1270 days. Below are some prevailing truths because we regretfully did not elect the smart, beautiful Black lady to run our nation:

1. When the tariffs prevent you from getting what you need or want, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
2. When I.C.E. takes your loved ones away, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
3. When you can’t afford groceries, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
4. When your wife, sister, or daughter can’t get medical care, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
5. When none of us have health care, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
6. When the Social Security money we all worked for goes to pay Elon Musk’s debts, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
7. When the war in the Ukraine rages on with no hope in sight, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
8. When we are at war with Iran, including the likely terrorist attacks here, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
9. When children have empty plates to fund a want-to-be dictator’s military birthday parade, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
10. Even though he and “The Donald” have parted ways, the unfettered power given to Elon Musk has already strongly contributed to running our nation into the ground and his new political party as dangerous as he is, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
11. When eggs remain at five dollars a carton, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
12. Biden capped inulin at $35.00; Trump dropped the cap so insulin is now unaffordable for seniors, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
13. When school lunches are cancelled and children go hungry, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
14. When shootings continue to rise, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
15. When Medicaid and Medicare are no more, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
16. When veterans benefits are no more, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
17. When the National Guard is sent into a peaceful protest, remember January 6th; and that we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
18. When the Gulf of Mexico is referred to as the Gulf of America, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
19. When only billionaires get tax breaks, remember, we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady…
20. When you wake up drenched in sweat from a nightmare because you voted for Trump, remember…we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady. We could have had Kamala Harris.

Deranged and Demented

Shame on the racist sexists who voted a mentally deranged narcissist with dementia back into the Oval Office, along with his slimy new sidekick JD Vance; instead we could have had the bright, beautiful Black lady, as our President. Kamala Harris and the delightful, down-to-earth schoolteacher/coach/governor Tim Walz at her side. This was a pair that I proudly voted for.

A Long Wait

I have been waiting for our first female President since Shirley Chisholm, Geraldine Ferraro, and Hilary Clinton. Richard Nixon predicted in 1970 that within the next 50 years we would certainly elect a woman president. Well, according to Nixon we are past the time to elect a woman president of the United States.

Thank You, Joe

Thank you, President Joe Biden for helping us smash the glass ceiling; making Kamala Harris the first woman Vice President of the United States. Please join me in wearing something pearl white in the honor of the early suffragettes who demanded the right of women to vote, and our recent presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
