That's why I went off on uni-party stuff.
The American political class is locked in "Termite Mound" math structures.
The blueprint of the "Bill Of Rights" is a sound strategy but the continental,
land mass, and taxable slaves, lead to nuclear genocide and war in Heaven.

One for John - Cry Baby Cry "John scolds Bob."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb6TyIIb1fI

King of Marigold was in the kitchen
Cooking breakfast for the queen
The queen was in the parlour
Playing piano for the children of the king
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
The king was in the garden
Picking flowers for a friend who came to play
The queen was in the playroom
Painting pictures for the children's holiday
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
The duchess of Kircaldy always smiling
And arriving late for tea
The duke was having problems
With a message at the local Bird and Bee
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
At twelve o'clock a meeting round the table
For a seance in the dark
With voices out of nowhere
Put on specially by the children for a lark
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
