HOW TO IMPEACH YOUR OWN SELF


The American people
Were reluctant to impeach
But the Loose Orange Cannon
Just might bring the action within reach

Instead of doing his job
And ignoring the impeachment activity
He’s flaying and storming around
Calling attention to his questionable sanity

By buddying up to
Various foreign sources
He’s displaying the discipline and intelligence
Of a team of very wild horses

His skin is so thin
That it’s almost transparent
And you can practically see
The absolute lack of judgement

ROUGH RIDE


The American political system
Is having a rough ride
The President is a joke
And the Dem contenders for the job
Mostly make you wanna hide

And then there’s the Fox talking heads
Spouting countless lies
And CNN’s town hall meetings
Giving you the hives

A major cause of the decline
Is the proliferation of social media
Which has given voice
To the lowest common denominator

The Internet was supposed
To advance civilization
It seems more and more
Like a retrograde operation

LOOSE LIPS


The Odious Orange Outage is strategizing
On how to beat the rap
That resulted from not being able
To close his enormous trap

Loose lips sink ships
Is a World War II warning
On the consequences of not being careful
About what you were expounding

If the Odious Orange Outrage
Had been in charge back then
Our enemies would have known precisely
What we had planned for them

He accuses talkative subordinates
Of being treasonous spies
But no one spills more secrets
Than he does between his lies


😕        😕      😕      😕      😕

EASTERN EUROPE’S ATTRACTIONS


Rudy Giuliani
Formerly America’s Mayor
Now a national joke
A part of the comedic layer

What is the attraction
Of Eastern Europe
That has American oligarchs
Salivating in a group

They envy the corruption
The back-scratching deals
The ease of buying influence
The wobbly legal wheels

For New York politicians
And real estate developers
Easter Europe is paradise
A place to binge on uppers

FOLLOW THIS LEADER INTO BATTLE? HA!


Would you follow
The Odious Orange Outrage
Into battle with an enemy
He sought to engage?

First of all
That situation would never appear
The Orange One is not a leader from the front
He brings up the rear

But in any case
Could you really fight for
Such a dishonest, corrupt, alleged leader
Who should be out the door?

A leader earns respect
The Orange One has earned zilch
Except lots of ridicule
For his wall that is no better than a ditch

FILIBUSTERING FABRICATOR


The Filibustering Fabricator
Today displayed his greatest talent
Bloviating without pause
And being mostly incoherent

He utters buckets of words
Yet says so very little
How this guy became President
Is certainly a riddle

Maybe social media
Has changed the role of language
Truth and logic are no longer necessary
They’re just excess baggage

As long as you’ve got the mike
Just ramble on and on
Eventually the audience
Will give up and be gone

MAYBE IMPEACHMENT?


So the House wants to pursue impeachment
Fine and dandy
But the support of the Republican Senate establishment
Is highly unlikely

Do you really think
Moscow Mitch and his flunkies
Would turn on the Odious Orange Outrage
In his spate with the Democratic donkeys?

But maybe conviction is not the point
Exposing Republican hypocrisy
Might result in a Senate of the people
In place of the current monstrosity

WHAT CLIMATE CHANGE?


The Odious Orange Outrage and his ilk
Do not buy climate change
Their lives rarely leave
A climate-controlled range

Air conditioning, thermostats
An artificial bubble
How can there possibly be
Environment trouble

Category 5 hurricanes
Wild fires galore
Disappearing rain forests
That stuff is outside their door

So stop worrying
About the planet
It’s been here for eons
As dependable as granite

COULD THE ORANGE ONE GET A SECURITY CLEARANCE?


Not only is the Odious Orange Outrage
Not acting Presidential
If he needed a security clearance
He would not even receive a Confidential

Discretion and honesty
Are necessary attributes
For federal employees
In their clearance pursuits

The Odious Orange Outrage
Has the discretion
Of a talkative four-year old
And the honesty
Of a conniving criminal with no soul

Indeed, conniving criminal
With no soul
Is an apt description of
The Liberty University hero

WITCH HUNT FINDS WITCH


The Odious Orange Outrage
Thinks he’s a Mafia boss
Plotting, conspiring, corrupting
To avoid an election loss

Whatever it takes
In his corner of the world
Bribery, lying, cheating
He gives them all a whirl

Threatening and strong-arming
A sovereign foreign leader
To manufacture evidence
For his domestic agenda

That agenda being
Staying in the public’s eye
Always the main attraction
Never allowing the attention to dry

CONSPIRING WITH THE UKRAINE


The Odious Orange Outrage
Is conspiring with the Ukraine
To prevent Joe Biden
From interrupting the Orange One’s reign

Giuliani says
It’s no big deal
What are elections for
Other than to steal?

Dems are arguing
It’s all very illegal
But Republicans don’t care
Legality doesn’t wag their needle

BARK BUT NO BITE?


Iran attacks Saudi Arabia
Kim Jong Un continues testing missiles
Putin votes in our elections
But the Orange One just whistles

Could it be that
Despite his threats and tough talking
The Odious Orange Outrage
Is no bite only loud barking?

Instead of a massive Doberman
He’s more an annoying Chihuahua
Yapping at your heels
As you wander where you wanna

CAPITVE AUDIENCE



My Generals, My Hispanics
My African Americans
The Odious Orange Outrage
Thinks we all are on his stage

And in a way we certainly are
Because he’s constantly in our face
He’s taken over our lives
He controls most of our space

Entertainer in Chief
Is what he is striving to become
We are his captive audience
Here for him to have fun

No other President
Has spent as much time
On narcissistic rallies
Partly funded by the taxpayer’s dime

NO LONGER OUTTA BULLETS


The Odious Orange Outrage
Said that when he took over
The military was out of ammo
And was as weak as clover

But under his leadership
The situation is now okay
We now have enough bullets
To last all the long day

We are certainly fortunate
To have such a talented President
But should we give him four more years
As Chief White House Resident?

LOCKED AND LOADED



A bone-spurred draft dodger
Should avoid such terms
As locked and loaded
Such words should be earned

Much more appropriate
For the National Emergency
Would be a phrase such as
“By golly we’re ready”

When your hair is orange
And your profile blubbery
Talking like a tough guy
Brings snickers from the shrubbery

IRAN'S MIDDLE FINGER


Iran apparently just gave
The Odious Orange Outrage
A middle finger salute
So now we turn the page

If Bolton was still around
The missiles would be in the air
Fire and brimstone on the way
To lay the desert more bare

But the Odious Orange Outrage
Prefers a war of words
Threats and bluster are his weapons
Actual action for the birds

Maybe this time is different
Maybe he’ll bomb some land
If so let’s hope the action
Is part of a larger plan

He began the present crisis
When he abrogated a treaty
Without having strategy or plan
Anywhere near ready

He inherited a Middle East
That was a cauldron of hate
Will that be changed at all?
A long way off is that date

‘BAMA AND THE STABLE GENIUS


‘Bama get ready
Humberto wants to be a disaster
And is just waiting for orders
From the sharpie-wielding forecaster

Who is really irritated
That Dorian disobeyed his instruction
To wander around Alabama
Causing chaos and destruction

Incidentally, not to wander
Too far from the base
But an opposite of stable genius
Is volatile mental case

Sometimes telling the difference
Is not very easy
But other times the difference is so frightening
As to make you really queasy

THE COMING TRUMP BANKRUPTCY


The Odious Orange Outrage
Has a federal budget deficit
Over a trillion dollars
That’s quite an accomplishment

And as part
Of his re-election hope
He’s considering a tax increase
So his followers won’t mope

He’s already bankrupt
A number of companies
Now he wants to add the nation
To his many deadbeat trophies

BALTIMORE


The Odious Orange Outrage
Is in Baltimore tonight
Attending a Republican event
Where he may have a bite

Of local rodent
Which he discussed awhile back
When he congratulated the city
On its tasty rat

So he’s sure to be welcomed
With open arms
By the many citizens
Who appreciate his charms

ME


Me, Me, Me, Me
Not you, Me
Was the Orange One’s focus
On a day of remembrance
A day for all of us

Nice to hear of his prescience
Of his immediate understanding
Of how history was changed
By events so far reaching

After a preemptory pause
He resumed his review
Of his many fabulous accomplishments
That were not getting the praise due

NATIONAL SECURITY 101



Bolton, Flynn, Tillerson
McMaster, Mattis, Nielsen
Rogers, McFarland, Kelly
Coats, Gordon, Haley

The number of individuals
Who have departed this Administration
Suggest a boss who lacks
Judgement, discipline, and organization

In short, the Odious Orange Outrage
Is an inept manager
Creating excessive chaos
And international danger

TALIBAN AT CAMP DAVID?


The Taliban was coming to Camp David
On the Anniversary of 9/11
Now whose bright idea was that?
Oh, the Chosen One from heaven

Wiser heads prevailed
Although he claimed cancelling was his
Which is demonstrably false
As his head is incapable of analyses

Why didn’t he invite them
To a Trump hotel?
Maybe because those places
Are hospitality hell

FORECASTER IN CHIEF


“Approved by the White House”
Is the stamp now required
For all weather forecasts
Or NOAA will have your hide

And because the Odious Orange Outrage
Is never wrong
Weather will necessarily
Have to play along

So if you’re watching
A weather person on TV
Shivering under an umbrella
Streaming with water
Don’t be surprised
If they claim the day is dry
The sun pleasantly warm
And shining high in the sky

NOAA ATTEMPTS A RESCUE


NOAA tried to rescue
The National Emergency
But its effort just
Added to the controversy

Only the most dense
Worshiper of Trump
(Talking about you Hannity)
Thinks NOAA’s defense
Is on the up and up

Most rational people
See a bureaucratic sharpie
Doing no more
Than making things murky

Meanwhile Mike Pence
Is trying to meet his goal
Of shoveling taxpayer money
To every Trump property
Between the North and South Pole

U.S. MILITARY, NOT MEXICO, PAYING FOR WALL


At first Mexico
Was going to pay for the wall
But the Odious Orange Outrage has now
Given the U.S. military the ball

Money appropriated by Congress
For troops and their needs
Is being diverted to ensure
The Orange One succeeds
In building an unneeded barrier
That technologically is inferior

And unlike British Tories
In dealing with their own whacko leader
Republicans in the Senate
Lack the spine to utter
“Bozo, hold on a minute”

BREAKING NEWS: DORIAN HEADING FOR ‘BAMA


Hurricane Dorian
Has done a one-eighty
It is now heading west
Alabama get ready

When questioned about
Its change of direction
Dorian replied, “Anything to shut up
The orange-headed infestation”

“I can’t handle another minute
Of his ridiculous insistence
That I was certain to strike
Alabama without hesitance”

“So let’s give him what he wants
And get on with our lives
Anything to shut him up
Before I develop hives”
