Amendment Twenty Five

Doggerel Dave

Amendment twenty five evidently

Could be hot. But I’m not American.

However they have an Assembly

Which is just managing to kick the can...

    And for me - never mind the NS stuff - what IS Orchi saying in his sensible moments? And they are ONLY moments. lol.

    • Doggerel Dave

      The moment i missed in a blink, orchi...

      Regarding presidential succession it would be fine if there were solid people in line but all a bunch of louts

      • Doggerel Dave

        I'll defer to your greater knowledge Soren, but...

        • sorenbarrett

          What happens when the prince in line for succession is obviously insane but no one has the courage to declare him such?

          • Doggerel Dave

            So your assumption that the present occupier of the throne is a nutter, but not only that, the next in line is likewise?

            • sorenbarrett

              In the US it is decidedly true in my mind

              • Doggerel Dave

                Hope, yer always gotta live with some hope - your second in line could be perhaps biding his time. Rumour (via fairly reliable media outlets) suggest that he was against the assault on Iran... as for the rest, that has to be a 👎👎

                • sorenbarrett

                  I heard that too Dave and that is the only positive that I have seen one good grain in a bag of rice does not make for a good meal

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    No, I cannot fault the reasoning there, but there... isn't... much... else...

                  • Cheeky Missy

                    Since they have utterly failed to uphold the 2nd amendment, why give a hoot for additional bits of foolishness? It's all bunk.

                    • Doggerel Dave

                      Hey Missy, it is very good to hear from you again - even if under such dire circumstances. Missed ya.
                      I can certainly understand your perspective, however bleak it may be.
                      It does seem that given current circumstances, the disease of nihilism appears to be spreading...
                      Take care of yourself.

                      • Doggerel Dave

                        As to the second amendment, are you suggesting that the right to bear arms is an excellent idea?

                        • Cheeky Missy

                          Yes.

                          • Doggerel Dave

                            I really would like to hear why...

                          • Tristan Robert Lange

                            Dave, yeah…there’s a kind of weary truth in this. The mechanisms exist, everyone knows they exist, but action just keeps getting pushed off. Then when it finally catches up, it’s messy and reactive instead of deliberate. Your outside perspective actually sharpens that point. Strong piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                            So true Dave, will they ever get it right.

                            Never knew there was a 25th amendment, but now that I do, I'm calling for the 5th amendment, that protects my sanity from those insane nutters calling me insane. Now I'm off to iran where America's 51st Strate is being unfurled.

                            • Doggerel Dave

                              Wot - can't count to 25? As for the fifth, I think you should keep your legal difficulties under wraps - you never know who is listening...

                              Unable to discuss matters that are neither within my Ken nor my interest.
                              But keep up your radar and stay tuned to what’s going on. ✌️

                              • Doggerel Dave

                                That's fine - don't waste your time on me when, as you point out, it doesn't tickle your interest. Since then, I've moved on. Forward, ever forward !.😊

                                • NafisaSB

                                  I think you have misconstrued my comment😱 it’s Not on you - obviously it’s the subject matter that doesn’t concern me that is of no interest to me on which I will not dwell 🤔
                                  But you keep marching forward- at least it shows that age has not affected you physically which is really good 😊

                                  • Doggerel Dave

                                    Didn't misconstrue - my reply expressed with less than pinpoint accuracy (late at night when I responded). B y 'me' I meant my contributions here.
                                    No mention of age at all, please:

                                      oh ok - normally if the topic or poem is beyond my understanding, i let it pass without commenting on it - and sorry about mention of age - am obviously not all there either - my bad - apologies....
                                      have a good day

                                      • Doggerel Dave

                                        Take care - and see what you think of housing.
                                        Look after yourself Nafisa..

                                        • NafisaSB

                                          yes i will - thank you...
