the stars and stripes forsaken

some Republican lawmakers were gloaty yesterday

they thought they had won

because what they called “the big, beautiful bill” got shoehorned into american history

.

they failed to realize that what they won

was future ignominy

.

they voted against we the majority of people

and they voted for the tawdry gimmegimmegimme of those who think having more than they could possibly spend in five lifetimes entitles them to more

they have trampled on the flag that represents liberty and justice for all

and historians will note this

.

The America of Liberty and Justice for All IS Beautiful

just as those who have forsaken her are u g l y
