I hear that train a comin’
It’s comin’ round the bend.
And I ain’t seen the sunshine
In I don’t know when.

Little by little and with very little fanfare the two halves are continuing the positive momentum that appears to have been initiated by the evil Trump's sanctions and bellicose verbalism.

Hoooray for the prior occupant of the White House.
Criminal indeed that he wasn't given the rest of his lifetime at the reigns of America.
