Excuse me excuse me

You know what I hate more
than anything right now
pussyfooting around Trump
his cronies
because of special relationships
and some mania dressed as political niceties.
Let me ask you this
Do you want to be friends
play nice
with a narcissist
who thinks consent
doesn't apply
to him and his friends?
Innocent until proven guilty, yeah.
But why is he bombing the shit out of Iran
instead of proclaiming his innocence in court?
Because
bombing Iran
means oil
War for oil
framed as protection
against the rest of the world
or some such bullshit.
Handshakes and smokescreens
How can anyone stand side by side
with the man
or enter such banalities as trade talks
with someone who thinks
the age of consent
is a guideline?
