more flip flops than Wal-Mart

it's amazing
how politicians say one thing
for years,
for decades,
they've run on these issues,
and then,
suddenly,
they say, nope, didn't say
that.
you had me wrong.
i never ever believed
in that.
i was never against fracking,
i closed the border,
i lowered
crime
and never released prisoners
before they did
their time.
i never said defund the police,
or was hesitant
on supporting Israel.
i never suggested raising taxes.
how dare you
even suggest that?
i'm on everybody's side now.
not just the woke
and transgenders.
wasn't the opening of the Olympics
just wonderful?
but we have it on record,
on tape,
on video, in the newspapers.
is this another flip flopping
joke?
oh fiddle dee dee.
come on, come on.
let's move on, ok?
and talk about the passage
of time.
and how we can all become
unburdened
by what has been
burdening us.
let's roll up our sleeves,
put on our pant suits 
and get
down to work. we have
a country, sort of, to save.
