Tonight, Tonight

Tonight in Ukraine, there are people who are fighting to save their democracy.

Tonight in the US, there are people still trying to undermine our democracy.

Tonight in Ukraine, there are people losing their lives in order to defend their country.

Tonight in the US, there are people defending the indefensible for fear of losing ratings/votes.

Tonight in Ukraine, there are parents praying that their children live long enough to go back to school.

Tonight in the US, there are parents insisting that prayer in school is more important than an actual education.

Tonight in Ukraine, citizens are standing up to defend their cities, their towns, their villages.

Tonight in the US, there are so-called 'citizens' defending those who assaulted our Capitol, and everything it stands for.

Tonight in Ukraine, the populace is rallying around a President who has proven himself to be a true hero whose only interest is the well-being of his countrymen.

Tonight in the US, there are people anxious to attend the next rally for a 'pResident' who has proven himself to be a corrupt coward whose only interest is himself.

Tonight in Ukraine, people are putting their lives at risk in order to speak the truth.

Tonight in the US, there are people still promoting the Big Lie - the truth be damned.

Tonight in Ukraine, ordinary people are doing extraordinary things - for their nation, for their freedom, and their countrymen.

Tonight in the US, there are people who are still whining about having to wear a mask at the grocery store - because their 'freedom' to spread a deadly virus is more important than protecting their fellow citizens.

Tonight in Ukraine, an example is being set - one that the freedom-loving world can learn from.

Tonight in the US, the Putin-loving ass-kissers and the Trump-loving ass-kissers are being revealed as being one and the same - people who will do anything to convince the country that fighting for democracy is lost cause.

Thanks to the people of Ukraine, we are learning what the fight looks like - and how important that fight is.

3. Tonight there is one major party

that needs to be called Putin's Party. The leader of Putin's Party is still Putin puppet Donald Trump who just won CPAC's straw poll.

Unless members of Putin's Party (GQP) publicly denounce Donald Trump they remain members of the Putin Party.

Tonight these members denounce the war in Ukraine, tomorrow they will blame president Biden for not doing more to shift the bleme away from Putin.

Tonight this Putin Party remains the anti-democracy party, remains the pro-autocracy party.

Tonight the Putin Party wants America to be just like Russia so that it can keep minority rule forever.

What is happening right now in Russia is what the Putin Party (GQP) wants for America.

I think your words need to be seen by many people. Would you have any objection if I post it on Facebook? And, if not, should I use your name or keep it anonymous?
