Unofficial Acts – Insighting an Insurrection Qualifies🤨
“The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that former President Donald Trump has broad immunity from federal prosecution. In a 6-3 opinion along ideological lines, the justices said a former president is entitled to a presumption of immunity for his official acts but lacks immunity for unofficial acts. The court sent the case back to the judge in Trump’s election case to determine whether any of Trump’s actions were part of his official duties. President Biden said the ruling sets a “dangerous precedent” and “undermines the rule of law” in remarks from the White House.” https://view.nl.npr.org/

Slip to M’Lou
Surveying the loot—pillow to rest on, container of sacred brown slime, and knew my task—spread it on the ballroom floor, where my competitors would be dancing. We’ll win!

Tanka Tuesday
Tanka:
summer solstice reigns
golden wheat fronds sway in breeze
crop celebrations
cicadas singing in trees
their songs are a mating call
***
Quatrain:
strawberry moon lights
through the thinning veil
fairy land at night
Fireflies prevail
***
Haiku:
swimming pool
inviting children
splash delight

24 Seasons Syllabic Poetry Challenge, No. 41, 7/2/24, Part III: The Summer Solstice (June 21 – July 6) Geshi 夏至
Now for something different…
It’s a little treat
A honeysuckle blossom
Pink coral drops
Tiny yellow peeking out
The air is humid, the breeze is warm
Blue cream grays streak the sky
Wyoming afternoon delight.

We show our apathy, with our silent wish for peace. The death of democracy will be our own fault if we do not speak up, vote, and tell our congress people to get their act together! They are elected by us, paid by us, and should represent us with the backing of the constitution. What’s been going on since Trump surfaced has been a puppet clown show with him pulling the strings. I’m reminded of a fake (Latin) phrase—Illegitimi non carborundum—supposedly meaning “don’t let the bastards grind you down”.

Here are this week’s questions:
1. Can you swim? Yes, but I haven’t in years.
2. If so, do you prefer a pool, river or the sea? If not, will you paddle or dip your toes?As a child it was a brook or lake, as an adult, a pool. Now I’d love to float in a lake.
3. Did you have outings to the beach as a child? We went camping on lakes around New England and to the Atlantic Ocean beaches.
4. Do you like cotton candy (candyfloss)? As a child, yes.
Gratitude: I am gratified that my patio plants are doing well and I’m glad I decided to do this project. And as always, gratitude for my loving family.

MLMM Wordle – ⚠️May have a Trigger⚠️
Sue felt free for the first time in years, never again having to pretend she enjoyed the feel of his fingers and hands. No matter how many layers of nightclothes Sue wore, she could not undo the pain of his touch.
This night, in the dark of the silent garden, she gathered the bag she had hidden under the sandstone plate. Steam from the cold night raindrops on the hot stones seemed a metaphor for her situation. It was too hot to stay with him, and she was the steam. She had tried other solutions, trying to call the authorities to report his abuse, but nothing came of it. There were no outside bruises for them to see. He made sure of that and in bed he was always in control. The years of unrest with him were ending tonight.

Fandango’s Story Starter
This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
Jenn had this nagging feeling all day that something wasn’t right. It started as soon as she looked at her phone that evening. The latest news item was Trump getting immunity for the insurrection he caused and led on January 6. That did it. Jenn had no reason to stay in a place that was turning into a real version of the Handmaid’s Tale. She booked a flight for France to join her brother.
