Imagine

Way back in ancient times (the 60s-70s) John Lennon's song "Imagine" became a theme/anthem for troubled times. “Imagine all the people living life in peace” he sang. For the past four years we've lived in troubled times. It seems fitting to imagine what it will be like to no longer have an orange narcissist in the White House.

😀 Imagine cabinet meetings where members don't have to go around the table praising the president 

😀 Imagine world leaders staying in hotels that don't profit whoever is in the White House
😀 Imagine a real religious man in office who actually goes to church and knows the Bible

😀 Imagine not giving away classified intelligence over dinner or during meetings in the White House
😀 Imagine world leaders not laughing behind his back
😀 Imagine standing up to Putin
😀 Imagine children not ripped from their mother’s arms and thrown in cages

😀 Imagine a leader who prepares with staff and experts for all telephone calls with world leaders
😀 Imagine not coddling dictators
😀 Imagine our allies trusting us again with classified intelligence 
😀 Imagine the world community looking up to us again and not pitying us
😀 Imagine competent people in government positions of power

😀 Imagine those competent people making decisions based on science and not on whether it pleased the White House
😀 Imagine no protests overseas when our president visits
😀 Imagine decisions based on science not gut feelings
😀 Imagine breathable air because policies are put in place to protect it and not help corporations pollute it

😀 Imagine having drinkable water for the same reason
😀 Imagine important dignitaries not having to wait two hours for the president to put on his makeup 

😀 Imagine military leaders consulted before making military decisions
😀 Imagine a coordinated national policy to fight the pandemic 
😀 Imagine policies based on how they affect people, not a corporation's bottom line
😀 Imagine working with allies on issues instead of going it alone

😀 Imagine making Putin pay a price for interfering in our affairs and elections
😀 Imagine not having the daily security briefing “dumbed down” 
😀 Imagine the president actually reading the presidential daily briefing

😀 Imagine not putting family members in important government positions
😀 Imagine not granting security clearances to those not approved by intelligence agencies 
😀 Imagine a president who shows empathy for those suffering 

😀 Imagine a president who is a role model and not someone you tell your children to not emulate 
😀 Imagine a president who doesn't promote products in the Oval Office
😀 Imagine a president who doesn't profit off of repeated golf trips to his own property 

😀 Imagine not having fast food as the food of choice for White House visits

😀 Imagine waking up in the morning and not wondering WTF the goofball has done now

😀 Imagine a president who will work with the states to solve the pandemic and not against them based on their votes

😀 Imagine people favored over profit

😀 Imagine traveling overseas and not having people ask us "how could you elect such a terrible person?"

Oh, I can imagine a whole lot of other ideas, but you get the picture. The national nightmare is about to be over. Imagine that.

         You may say I'm a dreamer
         But I'm not the only one
         I hope someday you'll join us
         And the world will be as one

Ahhhh, the sun is rising on a beautiful day (Jan. 20, 2021)
