Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see
Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright…
Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on

So I guess yesterday’s elections were safe, fair and not corrupt? Republicans aren’t whining about it or all those supposed illegal immigrants who voted. And what about those who said Democrats would do the same thing this time that Trump did in 2020 when he didn’t win?

Pretty staggering how many awful people there are in this country…. No matter the outcome of the election. The fact that almost half can justify a vote for a convicted felon and acknowledged sexual predator who no one would trust with their granddaughter.
