With The Democrats Offering Almost Nothing, The Wave Isn't Blue-- It's Just Anti-Trump

an anti-Red Wave or an anti-Trump Wave, not because of any Blue Wave. A

Be like the bird which on frail branches balanced
A moment sits and sings;
He feels them tremble, but he sings unshaken,
Knowing he has wings."

*"Mysteries, Yes"*
"Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous
to be understood.
How grass can be nourishing in the
mouths of the lambs.
How rivers and stones are forever
in allegiance with gravity
while we ourselves dream of rising.
How two hands touch and the bonds
will never be broken.
How people come, from delight or the
scars of damage,
to the comfort of a poem.
Let me keep my distance, always, from those
who think they have the answers.
Let me keep company always with those who say
"Look!" and laugh in astonishment,
and bow their heads."

tide that would drown us. You may think I'm stupid, you may call me a

basic truth: Pyongyang is a nuclear weapons state and it will never—ever—give
