KIM SETS AN EXAMPLE


The Greatest Hoax Ever’s admiration
For Kim Jong Un really rose
When he learned how Kim
Keeps his staff on their toes

Kim is alleged to have executed
His chief negotiator and planner
After the most recent failed summit
With the Greatest Hoax Ever

So Pompeo be on your toes
A screw-up here and there
And you could be dead meat
Courtesy of a National Emergency glare

IMPEACH


“Dirty, filthy, disgusting”
Was how the Greatest Hoax Ever
Described the word “impeach”
Or maybe he was just trying to be clever

Although he appeared
Considerably overwrought
About to lose his marbles
Personification of a dork

Should he be impeached?
Well certainly, if there were no other considerations
But there is a monumental obstacle
Republicans manning the Senate fortifications

Absent an obvious smoking gun
Such as the National Emergency with his pants down
Mitch and his boys
Will stick with the Presidential clown

MUELLER SPEAKS!



Yes, he actually has a voice!
The media went quite berserk
Analyzing every word, pause, stumble
And interviewing every last opinionated jerk

How does one get a job, anyway
Among the opinionated jerks
Where does one apply
And what are the perks?

In any event, the National Emergency and his team
Said Mueller didn’t point to the jailhouse door
Democrats on the other hand
Said Mueller confirmed crimes galore

So the give and take continues
Perhaps never to end
Until the voters say enough
And throw out the Pathetic Orange Hen

WHO ARE WE?



What about those Republicans
Who still support the Greatest Hoax Ever
What are we to make of them
Can damaged relationships recover?

The Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un
The Saudi killer MBS
Heros to our President
What does that say about us?

Hopefully if the National Emergency
Is the Republican candidate in two years
We will correct our mistake
And celebrate with many, many beers

MEMORIAL DAY, AND PRAISE FOR KIM JONG UN


Memorial Day, and the National Emergency
Praises Kim Jong Un, world peace menace
Says he’s not “personally bothered”
By Kim’s nuclear missile fetish

How them bone spurs doing
Oh great 60’s draft avoider?
Maybe they’ll return in time
To keep you from another hostile encounter

What are you planning to tell
Air Force Academy grads this week?
Some war stories about your service?
No need to be humble and meek

EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME


The National Emergency’s secret weapon
In dominating conversation and discourse
Is he avoids those forums
Where his audience has any recourse

White House driveway soliloquies
Abbreviated press photo ops
Such one-sided occasions provide
The majority of his props

And if he is challenged he has mastered
The perfect tough-guy put down
“Excuse me, Excuse me” he shouts
And his interrogator slinks to the ground

GREATEST HOAX EVER II


The National Emergency is morphing into
The Greatest Hoax Ever
An embarrassment to the nation
Surpassing even Millard Fillmore

Who really wasn’t that bad
He was a normal human being
Unlike the Greatest Hoax Ever
Whose humanity is defined by his spleen

This is a guy whose conduct
Is overly aggressive if not downright fascist
Who strives for chaos and conflict
Who at best is a borderline racist

The hoax he perpetuated
Was that he was a normal human being
Not some strange creature devoid
Of empathy, judgement, and rational thinking

Friday, May 24, 2019

GREATEST HOAX EVER


The National Emergency says he’s the victim
Of the Greatest Hoax Ever
Not quite sure what he’s talking about
Probably just his usual blather

More undisciplined drivel
Comes outta his mouth
Than bees from a hive
Just attacked by a sloth

At outlandish exaggeration
The Orange One has found his specialty
Indeed at spouting hyperbole
He may be the best in all history

VERY STABLE GENIUS


Nancy said the National Emergency
Needs an intervention
Either that or he
Should be in detention

Intervention by his family and staff
Yeah, that would work well
Putting sycophants in charge
Of ringing the National Emergency’s bell

Yesterday he had staff
Publicly proclaim his sanity
That he was a very stable genius
And mentally still quite handy

How will you suck-ups
Look back on your performance?
Will it make your top-ten list
Of regrets quite enormous?

TEMPER TANTRUM


The Petulant Adolescent
Who is the National Emergency
Had a temper tantrum
Focused on Nancy Pelosi

At least that’s what it seemed
But possibly the real purpose
Was to distract attention
From his inability to focus

On anything but himself
And his need for adulation
The hell with the country
He requires our unquestioned gratification

POWER STRUGGLE


Democrats request, demand, subpoena
National Emergency simply says no
Is this how the process
Will continue to go?

Has the National Emergency
Rebalanced the balance of power
Among the three branches of government
Elevating the Executive to the ivory tower?

Pelosi, Nader, and crew
Better get your act together
Else you will find yourselves
Far removed from the national rudder

PRESS BRIEFINGS KAPUT


In the National Emergency’s era
Press briefings have mostly ceased
Information is now disseminated
In the White House driveway grease

It’s like shooting the bull with your neighbor
As you’re taking out the garbage
Anything you hear or say
Is certainly not intellectual arbitrage

Does Sarah Huckabee Sanders
Still have employment?
Getting paid for doing nothing
Must be quite an enjoyment

A LITTLE TIME OFF?


What’s in the National Emergency’s
Craw this day?
Did he forget
his daily bray?

He can’t be taking a break
It’s not in his job description
He has to be constantly in motion
Bringing us national disruption

Opps, this just in
The National Emergency has twitter tiraded
Michigan Republican Justin Amash
For saying impeachment should be priority rated

MORE ON THE FOURTH


With competing celebrations
The July Fourth holiday
Won’t be a fuzzy bore
But is shaping up quite excitingly

At one end of the Mall will be The Donald
At the other end a star-studded show
In between will be a nation
Wondering which way to go

The National Emergency will yell
“Are you great Americans with me?”
The star-studded show will answer “No”
The National Emergency will reply “In that case
I’m gonna make Iran glow”

MICROMANAGER IN CHIEF


The National Emergency
Is a Micromanager in Chief
He agonizes over trivia
While ignoring the beef

For his border wall
He spends time debating
Bars versus slats
Snakes versus bats
Bollards versus spikes
Drones versus kites
Concrete versus steel
Mines versus a banana peel

He wants to move the fireworks
For the July Fourth celebration
From the National Mall
To a golf course of his creation

It won’t be long before he tackles
A national dress code
For men coats and ties
For women cleavage and thighs

SCHEMERS



The National Emergency wants
To eliminate the Dreamers
And restrict immigration to
Those like him, Schemers

We don’t need
Poor hard workers
What we need are
Rich tax-avoiders

In the National Emergency’s own image
Those he can appreciate
Can pal with all day
Who from autocracy won’t deviate

Wednesday, May 15, 2019

IRAN


The National Emergency is looking for someone
To beat the snot out of
It would prove he’s a man
And not some whimpering dove

Iran is the latest
On his tough guy radar
Maybe some bombs for them
And then a victory cigar

Except he doesn’t smoke
Not even drink
His vices are limited to lying, adultery,
And peeing in the sink

POMPEO VISITS RUSSIA


Pompeo tried to put
Putin on notice
Putin hadn’t laughed so hard
Since Bush-Cheney emerged from the forest

Putin said “candidly
You clowns are a joke
Stick to your tariffs
Or you’ll have a stroke”

Meanwhile the National Emergency
Has found a new hero
Some Eastern European autocrat
Who on Democracy gets a zero

ART OF NO DEAL


The Financial Genius Extraordinaire
Is doing The Art of the Deal
As if the art consisted of
Stomping your deal partner with your heel

But in the international arena
The Alleged Financial Genius
Is the one getting stomped
By everybody in the business

Russia, China, North Korea
They all have his number
Will we accompany him down
When they let loose the thunder?

Sunday, May 12, 2019

SHAPING UP TO BE A GREAT 4TH, NOT


The National Emergency wants
The July Fourth Celebration
To be more about him
And his Administration

And he’d love to parade
Some military hardware
Enough to impress
The goobers in long underwear

Meanwhile China gives him the bird
Putin says stay out of Venezuela
Kim Jong Un says no nukes my ass
And Biden has his number

TARIFFS AND TRADE WARS



Tariffs and trade wars
Wet the National Emergency’s appetite
He thinks he knows
That stuff really tight

But does he have a clue?
Or is his understanding
Mired in 1922?

He thinks it’s as simple
As winners and losers
But determining who is who
Is like differentiating addicts from boozers

RUDY


Rudy Giuliani
Is heading to Ukraine
Which is something
Difficult to explain

From the nation’s mayor
To a national clown
Rudy has certainly
Morphed in direction down

Rudy is succeeding
In earning fame and blame
As apart of
The National Emergency’s con game

NO DEPRECIATION ADJUSTMENT IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS


If the National Emergency is to succeed
In the international arena
He needs to find the equivalent
Of the depreciation erasure

His survival in business
Was due to two factors
Money from Daddy
And tax law contractors

Indeed without depreciation deductions
Instead of a marginal real estate developer
What he would have likely become
Is a complete business failure

Thursday, May 09, 2019

OBNOXIOUS RICH GUYS



A legacy of the National Emergency’s Presidency
Might be a strong dislike of the rich
Those clowns who benefited from tax reform
While the rest of us stayed in the ditch

We have a President whose financial acumen
Lies in how to milk depreciation
Who for years paid no taxes at all
While ordinary mortals carried the financial ball

Is a French Revolution approach
To the undeserving wealthy in store?
Perhaps they could forestall it
By showing the National Emergency the door

MITCH AND JERRY


Mitch McConnell says
It’s time to move on
The Mueller Report
Is done and gone

Mitch is like
A Mafia boss
Cross him and
Risk a big loss

Meanwhile, Jerry Falwell Jr.
Liberty University President
Allegedly used the National Emergency’s fixer
To bury an incident

So fervent yet so hypocritical
That’s much of the religious right
It would explain the National Emergency
Becoming their guiding light

SO MUCH FOR THE RULE OF LAW


450 former prosecutors say
The National Emergency would’a been charged
If he didn’t have parking privileges
At the White House garage

And now his buddy "Munchkin"
The Secretary of the Treasury
Says no to Democrats’ demands
For the National Emergency’s tax history

An epic Constitutional battle is brewing
The governmental balance of power is threatened
An inept President backed by the Supreme Court
Could move the nation in an autocratic direction

Sunday, May 05, 2019

WHO ASKED YA'?


Is there any subject he won’t spout off on?
Him being the National Emergency
The latest topic beyond his job description
Is the Kentucky Derby

Hey Orange Head
Nobody cares what you think
About a horse race in Kentucky
Stick to things you know about
The silence would be just ducky

GREAT ECONOMY, BUT WHOSE IS IT?


The economy has added jobs
For a record 103 straight months
Prompting some to proclaim
The National Emergency is no economic dunce

But only 28 of those months were his
Leaving 75 for Obama
Opps, must pause here for a moment
To consider the Republican dilemma

Regarding giving any credit at all
To the National Emergency’s predecessor
Who did the heavy lifting
Of capping the Bush-Cheney economic disaster

PHONE CHAT



Putin and the National Emergency
Had an hour-long phone chat
One thing they discussed was Venezuela
and Putin said “I want that”

The National Emergency said
Go right ahead
That country gives me a headache
And all its oil has turned to lead

And so Russian troops
Are possible in South America
Maybe they’ll do R&R
At the Mar-a-Lago border

AG BARR AND LEGAL ETHICS


When AG Barr
Went to law school
He apparently spent the ethics class
Sitting on a bar stool

Which means he fits right in
With the ethics challenged crowd
Of which the National Emergency
Is very, very proud

Did Barr lie to Congress?
Well, let’s put it this way
The truth, whole truth,
And nothing but the truth
Was not what he managed to say

Thursday, May 02, 2019

AG BARR VISITS THE SENATE


AG Barr
Paid the Senate a visit
Hemming and hawing
Meaningful discussion resisted

He definitely defines his job
As protecting the President
Who seems intent on
Breaking all precedent

Republicans are reaping the harvest
Of several decades putting party before country
The result is a President
Morally and ethically scummy

PRESIDENTS ONE AND FORTY-FIVE



One had some humility
Forty-Five had nada, zero, none
One served in the military
Forty-Five discovered bone spurs
And his military career was done

One never told a lie
Forty-Five can’t quit
One was honorable
Forty-Five’s life is a pit

One explored the wilderness
Forty-Five gets lost in the rough
One was the father of his country
Forty-Five is pathetic stuff
