THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS
Two white supremacists walk into a room
Are they friends or are they foes, Yo?
They’re world leaders tearing up alliances,
but One doesn’t see the other
as his bro . . . No.
They will most likely talk about sanctions
And golden showers
while Putin lays out everything he wants
Trump won’t give a thought to the NATO allies
Or protest from the Resistance
Because
No one else will be in
the room where it happens
The room where it happens
We’ll know after it happens

When I first heard the 45th president of the United States would have a one-on-one meeting with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin this week the first thing that flashed through my head was Aaron Burr bitching about Thomas Jefferson and James Madison leaving him out of a historic meeting with Alexander Hamilton.
Right now we should all be more pissed off than Aaron Burr, for at least Burr understood “how the game is played, the art of the deal how the sausage is made.”
Trump has already absolved Putin for the Russian attack on our nation during the 2016 elections and beyond. When Trump called Putin to congratulate him on his re-election he didn’t mention the DHS statement accusing Russia of cyberattacks on the U.S. power grid. If our Republic survives this attack from within, we will one day know just what it is Putin has on Trump and how long he has been an asset for the Russians.
I suspect they’re gonna talk about how the U.S. Congress can be moved to ease sanctions on Russia but mostly will be told what to do so they can enhance and increase the spread of their brand of white nationalism.
That will call for more attacks on immigration even as the number of immigrants to Europe continue to fall. The fear and hatred of the ‘other’ always sells among the resentful segment of the majority who are convinced their way of life is in jeopardy because of that other . . . black and brown people.
Right wingers the world over are reveling in all things Trump because they believe this is their time and Trump is with them.
We know Putin owns Trump but we wont know what he’ll be charged to do on behalf of the man who wants to rule the world because . . .
No one else will be in the room where it happens . . .
THE SHINBONE STAR 
That’s some scary crap right there–no records, and who is to say what happens? And two megalomaniacs in one place, one of whom has been proven to kill off political opponents (and the other who wishes he could)?
I’m damned afraid of what’s to come after all this…there’d better be some more people in that room, and they all better have their wills up to date in case the flattery fails and stubbornness becomes the rule.
