DORIAN UPDATE


Looks like Mar-a-Lago
Might dodge the bullet
Dorian’s turning north
Searching for a different target

So the Odious Orange Outrage
Can get back
To trashing all who stray
From his track

Which at some point
Includes almost everyone
Associated with him
The Chosen One

TIFFANY OVERWEIGHT?


Tiffany is overweight
Allegedly said the Odious Orange Outrage
As related by a staffer
In an off-the-record disaster

Well, bye-bye Sweetheart
Hope you find something new
Working for a boss
Who does not create such a stew

Reporters are not your friends
Just keep that in mind
They talk ethics and morality
But they will expose you for a dime

But before you depart
Give us some more juice
What do Ivanka and Jared
Really think about the Orange Goose?

MAR-A-LAGO NEXT?


Hurricane Dorian
Gave Puerto Rico a break
Just side-swiping the island
And is searching for something to rake

If Dorian selected
Mar-a-Lago for landing
Wouldn’t that just be
Absolutely outstanding?

A little rough justice
For the U.S. citizens of Puerto Rico
A little tit for tat
For the Raging Roaring Rat

IS THERE STILL A REPUBLICAN PARTY?


How many Republicans have a pair
And would tell the Orange One
To take his latest whacky thought
And stuff it in a bun?

The party of fiscal discipline
Has deteriorated to zero
Other than supporting the most
Undisciplined character since Nero

      ******************

Puerto Rico one of the most
Corrupt places on earth?
How about Trump Tower
Where corruption has a permanent berth

HURRICANE; AG BARR


Puerto Rico is again
Facing a hurricane hit
Time for the Odious Orange Outrage
To revive his paper towel bit

Let’s see how long it takes
For him to bad mouth U.S. citizens
For the crime of being Hispanic
And not Scandinavians

Attorney General Barr
Is paying his boss 30 Grand
To rent a place for a party
Complete with a band

It may not be illegal
But it certainly is questionable
And gives the 99 percent
A bad example to follow

NUKE THEM HURRICANES


The Bloviating Blondish Buffoon
Wants to nuke hurricanes
Thinks it will deter them
Not concerned about fallout rains

Well, it might be worth a try
After all, what could go wrong?
And if the timing is right
Mar-a-Lago might end up gone

ORDERING BUSINESSES AROUND; AND G7 UPDATE


If the Odious Orange Outrage
Can order businesses out of China
Could he also order them
Out of California?

That state is certainly
Not supportive of his presidency
Opposing most of his efforts
Left, right, and centrally

To hear the Orange One tell it
Things at the G7 are swimmingly
Good stuff is happening
And everyone is happy

However, some of his peers
Are a bit more pessimistic
Qualifying his assessments
With a “Let’s be realistic”

And he doesn’t have many allies
For his debilitating trade wars
The appeal of such shenanigans
Being lost in distant stars

G-7 DISRUPTION?


Putin messaged Trump
“Have you disrupted the G-7 yet?”
The Odious Orange Outrage responded
“I’m close but not there yet”

“Well, get a move on, you Twerp
Or else you’ll never get
Your Trump Tower in Moscow
Which you would regret”

“Because after you have devastated
Your own homeland
You’ll need a place to retire
And Moscow would be grand”

“You could bring along Moscow Mitch
To be your aging companion
Kentuckians are tired of him anyway
And his re-election effort is floundering”

TRADE WAR!


Hot Damn!
We got ourselves a trade war!
Now the Odious Orange Outrage will show them
Who’s the toughest thug in the bar

And as an extra
The little weasel he made
Chairman of the Fed?
He’ll stomp that twerp
‘til he’s rearranged his head

Yeah, it’s certainly a comfort
To have someone in charge
Who knows how the economy works
And is not reluctant to ignite a barrage

WHO ACTUALLY CHOSE THE CHOSEN ONE?


More information is trickling in
On who to blame
For the Odious Orange Outrage’s
Chosen One claim

It wasn’t the Almighty above
Who made the selection
It was the horned one below
Where there are fire and friction

Yes, the Devil chose
The Odious Orange Outrage
To make plenty trouble
To put the nation on the edge

Of descending into the fires
That burn eternally
Fed by the evil
That mankind spreads pervasively

Wednesday, August 21, 2019

THE CHOSEN ONE


The Odious Orange Outrage
Proclaimed himself The Chosen One
If that is the case
The Almighty’s message is “You’re done”

“I’ve had enough of you clowns
You are an obnoxious sorrowful bunch
I’ve sent The Chosen One
To take away your lunch”

“if you people were living
Up to expectations
I wouldn’t be punishing you
With a quack of such dimensions”

INCONSISTENT OR WHACK JOB?


The floundering NRA apparently has
The Odious Orange Outrage by the short hair
He pretty much flipped on background checks
After talking to Wayne LaPierre

National debt and Federal budget deficits
Are things the Orange One thinks don’t matter
When making economic bets

To forestall the recession he says
Is not on the way
He wants more tax cuts
To keep it at bay

Inconsistent is the polite way
To describe the Orange One’s policy ride
The non-polite description is
The guy’s a bona fide whack job

NRA SPEAKS, ORANGE ONE SALUTES


The Odious Orange Outrage
Pretends to be uncertain
About whether background checks are good
Or an unconstitutional burden

But to say he’s in
The NRA’s pocket
Is not an exaggeration
It describes his docket

He says mass shootings
Are a mental health deal
More mental hospitals
Would solve the problem for real

Assault rifles and
Hundred round magazines
Not what the Founding Fathers envisioned
In their wildest dreams

Sunday, August 18, 2019

THANK YOU, MARK


The Odious Orange Outrage
Says he’s done more
In two and a half years
Than all Presidents before

Well, he has skyrocketed the deficit
Antagonized much of the world
Alienated a majority of the citizenry
And given corruption a whirl

His support is largely drawn
From the lowest common denominator
Whose power has grown
As social media became an agitator

So thank you Zuckerberg
And your fellow nerds
For empowering those who have
Given us the strangest of birds

THE SIMPLE CASE AGAINST RE-ELECTION


He lies
He bullies
He brags
He gives us the willies

Would we really give
The Odious Orange Outrage
Another four years
On the national stage?

We certainly aren’t perfect
But could we step so low
Take such a backward lurch
As to re-elect this bozo?

GREENLAND, HAVE WE GOT A DEAL FOR YOU!


At last, the Odious Orange Outrage
Is proposing something useful
He wants to buy Greenland
And get ice and mud by the boatful

You can take a real estate developer
Out of his real estate
But you can’t stop the craving
For wheeling and dealing whatever the bait

If the Greenland deal falls through
Other islands are handy
Mozambique, New Guinea
Even Bermuda might be ready

For an offer from the best
Real estate developer ever
He’ll fix you right up
If you don’t worry about the weather

OPENING ANOTHER FRONT


Not satisfied with
His trail of chaotic incompetence
The Odious Orange Outrage inserts himself
Into another matter devoid of substance

At the Orange One’s behest
Israel’s Netanyahu banned
Two Democratic Congresswomen
From visiting his land

The Orange One’s obvious hope
Is to portray all Democrats
As way far to the left
And thus undeserving rats

Maybe the strategy will work
The American electorate after all
Has shown it not always has
Its eye on the ball

DOW NOT HAPPY


The Dow is not happy
It keeps getting slapped
By the Odious Orange Outrage
And his undisciplined yap

The Orange One’s response?
It’s the Fed’s fault
Maybe also China, maybe even Mexico
But mostly the Fed as it controls the vault

Meanwhile Republican Steve King
Has an original take
Rape and incest
Do civilization make

Moscow Mitch, Steve King
The Odious Orange Outrage
The GOP is certainly performing
On a warped stage

POOR, TIRED, HUDDLED? TRY CANADA


Cuccinelli and the Odious Orange One
That’s quite a pair
Throw in Stephen Miller
And you have something rare

Three guys with views
On immigrants and immigration
Bordering on racism
And half-backed white guy glorification

No poor, tired, huddle masses
For these guys
Rich, white, country-club ready
Is what lights up their eyes

GOVERNMENT BY TWITTER


What would the Founding Fathers say
About government by twitter
About the Chief Executive
Thinking with his finger?

They certainly envisaged something more
When they gave the President
The executive power of
The whole darn government

They assumed a thinking coherent individual
Not a shoot-from-the-hip mentality
Not a loose cannon type
Not someone burdened by inferiority

CONSPIRACY THEORIES


The Odious Orange Outrage
Is treading dangerous water
He’s floating conspiracy theories
About his buddy Epstein’s departure

But for every theory he passes on
Three could be thrown at him
After all he has the power
To order nasty stuff on a whim

All he needed was
A few unscrupulous aides
And he certainly has those
Has them in spades

And Mister Epstein most likely had knowledge
Of unflattering activities
On the part of the Orange one
That would give his public the willies

So expounding those theories
Is maybe trying to throw us off track
For everyone you advance we ask
“What are you holding back?”

THE FOUNDING FATHERS HAVE SOME FUN


A long time ago
When the Founding Fathers were almost done
Drafting the United States Constitution
They decided to have some fun

We have a great document
It tackles many things
But we want to ensure future generations
Have at least a few games

Lets’s throw in some gibberish
About the right to bear arms
Who knows what arms will be
When most people are no longer on farms

Then they can entertain themselves
Trying to figure out what we meant
It’ll all be jolly fun
And we can watch from the grave in amusement

MITCH, WAYNE, AND KIM


The Odious Orange Outrage
Claims that Mitch and Wayne are ready
For serious gun control steps
Not something merely petty

We’ll see if Mitch and Wayne
Are really prepared to compromise
More likely they’re prepared
To load, lock, and let bullets rise

The Odious Orange Outrage
Got a three-page epistle
From Kim Jong Un the Dictator
After he fired another missile

Missiles don’t really matter
According to the Oval Orange Moon
What really matters are
Nice letters from his buddy Un

ALL ABOUT ME


The Odious Orange Outrage
Is mad about the reaction
To his pathetic narcissistic response
on El Paso and Dayton

He visited the cities
And apparently wanted public affection
Maybe even rallies
Where he could pursue re-election

Think there’s a chance
That he’ll push gun control
And anger the NRA
Which has a foot on his soul?

ACTING PRESIDENTIAL DIDN’T GET PAST LUNCH


The Odious Orange Outrage
Was Presidential for half a day
Then he reached his limit
And was back to the political fray

Insulting opponents and those
Who said anything critical
Counter-punching left and right
Just loving the spectacle

Not acknowledging for a moment
That maybe he was part of the problem
That his inflammatory rhetoric
Was pushing discourse to rock bottom

Tuesday, August 06, 2019

EMPATHY


Has there ever been a President
Who displayed less empathy?
Maybe Vladimir Putin
But he’s not in this country

Narcissism and empathy
Probably don’t comport
And the Odious Orange Outrage
Has enough narcissism to export

Empathy got in the way
Of his adulterous proclivities
And since they were many
Empathy remained undeveloped
In favor of more attractive activities

DOW HEADS SOUTH


The Dow falls 767 points
Good job, Odious Orange Outrage
You’re showing them who’s boss
But when are you gonna turn the page

To less chaos and some accomplishments
Disrupting the world’s economy
Except maybe for your Kremlin pals
Is not good for anybody

The wily Chinese
Have called your bluff
Anything up your sleeve
To counter their stuff?

They devalued their currency
And stopped buying turnips
Leaving you and your tariffs
Locked in ill-fitting stirrups
