WHY HATE RAINBOWS?

Why are there so many
Tweets against rainbows
And flags that are flying high
Rainbows are colorful
They make us happy
So why would you hate them, why?

They are but symbols
Of love and of friendship
And feelings we all should desire

Someday we'll all know
The power of rainbows
And peace love and friendship will grow

Who said majority
Rules a Democracy
Was that a bridge too far
Our Founders thought of it
And voters believed it
Look what has happened thus far

When will division
Be changed to addition
And when will that day set us free?
Wouldn't it be great
If our love could trump hate
And rainbows were for you and me

While you were fast asleep
Some man-child was tweeting
And thinking up nasty nicknames
There are conclusions
That cause his delusions
And push him to make his false claims

But when it comes to
Those beautiful rainbows
And what we all hope to be true
Someday we'll find it
The reason for rainbows
For lovers for dreamers and you!

FACEBOOK AND CENSORSHIP?



Facebook's new rule to police and possibly remove offensive material, posts, and altered videos etc. may not be the right way to go.
Censorship can be a double edged sword.
To wit: dt's hate speech and hate policies which have been welcomed by the GOP and espoused by the loyal Repub bubbled base has exposed that which was being hidden and sublimated by them in the past.
The solution is staring us in the face if not the Facebook itself!
When a funny, at least as far as I'm concerned, post by Andy Borowitz or Jim Carrey appears it is noted as satire.
If the reader or viewer fails to note it then it's their fault.
And when a post that's aimed at selling something appears, the word "Sponsored" is generally shown below the title.
This practice should not only continue but be expanded to include as many posts as possible.
For example the post that has the Honorable Democratic House Speaker Ms. Nancy Pelosi slurring her speech must include the phrase:
"THIS VIDEO WAS ALTERED BY THE SICK EXTREME RIGHT WING OF THE REPUB PARTY AND DOES NOT REPRESENT REALITY IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM!" (Or words to that effect, I may have overstepped. ðŸ˜‰)
Other posts may prove troublesome such as anything by the dt admin, family, or sycophants but in those cases the 'Truth-O-Meter' can be used or 'Pants on Fire' or Pinocchio noses etc. (🤥🤥🤥)
In this way no censorship would be needed and the public could argue about more important things such as:
Do you agree that Bran should be on the Iron Throne or should Sansa be named the rightful ruler of Westeros?
