Make America Great Again

Post by mnaz » August 6th, 2022, 5:15 pm

Make America great again.
It wasn't great enough sometime
past 1952 or 1842 AD BC AC DC,
I can't remember which alphabet,
I just know it used to be a lot better.

thank you for writing
I was alive in 45
and America was great
when I was 5
and it was better then
unless you were black
or a woman
or a jap
ramble ramble :oops:

if six was nine
It is hard for me to worry about it because I will soon be out of here

I mean, some of his shtick had at least a somewhat worthy idea vaguely or remotely tied to it-- like contempt for endless foreign wars e.g. He also blasted corruption in Congress that's run rampant forever-- nice idea, problem is, he took that corruption to new heights himself, and essentially declared himself dictator. My response to anyone who tries this will always be the same-- GFY.

Biden voted for the Iraq war, Hillary also, Dick Cheney is now a pundit, George W Bush is an elder Statesman, Bill Clinton signed off on the repeal of The Glass-Steagall Act, Newt Gingrich is a sage. Trillions and trillions of dollars and millions of lives down the shit hole. Trump just another roadside attraction.

Pretty much. Hawley, GFY as well. Posing as some righteous champion against the likes of west coast "elites" when he is one himself.

That's not very "big" of me, isn't it? Oh well, it's a beautiful day and I'm going outside for awhile...

I've gotta whip my arse when I catch myself dissin' Old U.S.A..

Shit I've lived beneath the Red White and Blue... have had a pretty decent life, my passed fifty seven years and counting.

This ol' Country continues piling up people anxious to live beneath our flag for some friggin' reason... must be the Freedom Pact, you figger?

Believe it our nay, our country has taken in EVERY born from EVERY Country in the World!! No other country has done that for some reason...;)

Sure these times are showin' her problems like any country has... but here we stand high, bright, and sure we will still be the best on the world... if not why in are people aren't standing in lines to leave our Red White and Blue..?

I ain't goin, on about our country.... no reason to... I think most of us wouldn't stay here.

Of course it's great. When was it non-great? I think that was my question: when did it become so non-great that it required a con man snake oil salesman to come along and declare that he needed to make it "great again" (?)

When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapping itself around the flag and holding a Bible upside down. And riding in a golf cart.

I don't think America was so great in 1917, when we stopped being too proud to fight But it has been kind to my family. I am too broke to leave town, I will hang around to stay close to those I love.
I wish I could make Canada great again. I wish America lost the war in 1776.
If six was nine I don't care because I will be out of here any day now. I don't buy green bananas any more. All I still care about any more is the children

Trolls. Chronic fabricators and narcissists (some educated, most not). Like some of those A-holes we used to get on LK. They were annoying then. Now they get elected for Chrissake. It's the Great Trolling. And these people are pandering to and empowering the Christo-fascist, theocratic "Evangelical" Religious Right to gain / maintain power. A few smart folks predicted this about 30 years ago. Pardon my ramble.
