so many things wrong,
only a handful are correct...
so many nasty habits,
so many things to inspect...
sorting out the garbage,
from things that get reused...
even my very words,
are required to be perused...

Sure, I am for finishing off Juan Guaido. The nerve of him wanting to be president without being elected president. He is a wanna be dictator.
If Nancy Pelosi declared herself interim president would the right accept that? Some countries would probably recognized her as 'interim president'. Would that make it right?
If so, what if Paul Ryan had done that to Obama while he was president? Then Turkey swiftly recognized him as 'interim president' and others followed. Good for ya?
