ACTING COWARDLY?

The Odious Orange Wannabe Emperor
And his numerous sycophants
Are looking to make a spectacle
Of vote acceptance on Jan six
 
Many Republican politicians know
That the Orange Hoax is a fraud
But they’re concerned about reelection
So they pretend to applaud
 
How should rational ethical citizens
View such dishonesty?
Is that what politics should be
Careers based on being cowardly?

JOSH HAWLEY SEES THE BRIGHT LIGHTS

 

Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri
Is reaching for his moment in the sun
He will join the Trumplicans in the House
In search of fame and fun
 
On January six the motley crew plans
To contest the Congressional vote certification
Thus delaying the process
Of Joe Biden’s Presidential affirmation
 
Will other Trumplican Senators
Jump on the train
In an attempt to maintain their bona fides
For a future political game?

SIX HUNDRED VS TWO THOUSAND

 Six hundred dollars versus two thousand
McConnell versus the Orange Outrage
Democrats versus Republicans
Please, please turn the page
 
Can our super competitive politics
Really be good for the nation?
How do we scale back
The hyperventilation?
 
Politics has always had
A blood sport aspect
Today in America
The blood flow is unchecked
 
The Orange Hoax reportedly
Is unhappy with Mar-a-Lago renovations
But what about his many contributions
To this year’s national devastations?

NOT LEAVING QUIETLY

 

He’s not leaving quietly
The Odious Orange Huckster
He’s departing in a cloud
Of fiery buff and bluster
 
His hatred has expanded
To cover almost everyone
Democrats, Republicans
He wants them all on the run
 
The majority of voters
Rejected his act
His incivility and pomposity
Irritate like a painful skin crack

ORANGE HOAX TO THE RESCUE

 

Word has just come in
The Orange Hoax has signed
The major financial bills
That to limbo he had consigned
 
So after much political theater
No government shutdown
Stimulus checks go out
All thanks to the Orange Clown
 
The whole kerfuffle was undoubtedly
Due to the Hoax’s desire
To remain the center of attention
Even as he’s forced to retire

MAKING THE NATION SWEAT

 

Pardon the crooks
That is the Orange Hoax’s strategy
Many of the crooks are his cronies
He wants them operating freely
 
Also part of his strategy
Is to make the nation sweat
Will he sign the funding bills
Or just cruise around in his jet?
 
The bills are Republican-supported
But that’s the Hoax’s problem
He’s jealous of the party’s election success
While he landed on his ample bottom

VP PENCE ON THE HOT SEAT

 

The Odious Orange Wannabe Emperor
Is trying to coerce VP Pence
Into declaring Biden ineligible
To cross the White House fence
 
On January six the VP
Presides over Congress’ receipt
Of the Electoral College results
Normally an event of little heat
 
But the Hoax sees Jan six
As being his last chance
He wants Republicans including Pence
To keep him at the White House dance

MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND ADIOS

 

Merry Christmas
To the Odious Orange Outrage
Thanks for four years
Of dominating the stage
 
Hope you enjoy your stay
In Mar-a-Lago
And instead of golf
Maybe you should take up polo
 
You on a horse
Would be quite a sight
Just the thing
To accompany an eggnog Christmas night
 
Here’s hoping you have
A miserable upcoming year
And as your departure nears (hopefully)
We give a mighty, mighty cheer

VETO!!

 

OOWE is certainly
Not going quietly
He vetoed a major defense bill
And then left town abruptly
 
Resentful that Congressional Republicans
Had a better election than he
So make them cut short
Their Christmas holiday spree
 
And return to DC
To override the veto
While he golfs away
At Mar-a-Lago
 
 
OOWE: Odious Orange Wannabe Emperor

OOWE

 
The Odious Orange Wannabe Emperor (OOWE)
His days are hopefully numbered
He’s provided us with drama enough
To last ‘til year twenty one hundred
 
OOWE has latched onto
Conspiracy theories galore
He’s wandered far afield
From the rational mind store
 
He’s dealing in fantasies
Really weird stuff
Even Evangelist Pat Robertson
Says enough is enough

THE ORANGE ONE’S REAL GRIPE

 

The Odious Orange Wannabe Emperor
Appears both desperate and irrational
He’s seeking to overturn the election
By whatever means possible
 
Perhaps the thing
That’s irritating him above all
Is that he’s one of the few Republicans
Who did poorly at the election ball
 
The Republican Party actually
Had a fairly good outing
The Hoax lagged behind
And some in the party
Are secretly gloating

ANOTHER DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY?

 

The Odious Orange would-be Emperor
Is focusing on January 6
As a viable option
For an election fix
 
On that day Congress
Ratifies the Electoral College decision
Previously a pro forma event
But this time a not so certain action
 
All the Hoax needs
To cause considerable disruption
Is a compliant Senator or two
To lodge an objection

MARTIAL LAW, SAY WHAT?

 

What is the Pentagon trying to keep
From the Biden Administration that is coming?
What nefarious activities
Are the tRump appointees concealing?
 
The martial law option
Is still being kicked around
Maybe the Orange Hoax appointees
Are commandeering the Pentagon ground
 
The Orange Hoax says
The computer hack intrusion
Is no big deal and anyway
China might be the culprit, not his pal Putin

LOW PROFILE TODAY, SCARY

 

The Orange Hoax
Has been quiet today
Thus far anyway
 
His Pentagon has ceased cooperating
With the Biden transition
Claiming a holiday vacation
Or maybe planning an insurrection
 
A number of fringe Trumplicans
Have called for martial law
Maybe the Pentagon Trump appointees
Are preparing something that bizarre
 
Obama has listed
His favorite books of 2020
Will the Hoax provide his list?
No doubt he has read plenty

PARTING GIFT

 

As a parting gift
The Odious Orange Emperor
Wants special counsels galore
To harass his successor
 
Weaponizing the legal system
Has long been in his repertoire
Of questionable business practices
That he wields like a crowbar
 
Leaving Joe Biden
Some nasty legal situations
Would be par for the Hoax’s approach
To interpersonal relations

TRUMPLICANS DON’T QUIT

 

House Minority Leader McCarthy
Is not following Mitch’s example
No “President-elect Biden” from him
He’s ensconced in the Orange Emperor’s temple
 
Republicans in the House
Have a sizeable Trumplican caucus
That is capable of producing
Quite a significant ruckus
 
Loud mouth Jimmy Jordan
Slippery Matt Gaetz
And just added to the screen
QAnon Marjorie Taylor Greene

MITCH STEPS UP

 

Wonder of wonders
Mitch McConnell acknowledged
President-elect Biden
As winner in the Electoral College
 
Will Trumplican diehards
Follow his example
Or will they remain sequestered
In the Orange Emperor’s temple?

PRESIDENT-ELECT BIDEN

 

Now that the Electoral College has voted
Will Trumplicans be willing to utter
“President-elect Biden”
Or will they continue to stutter?
 
Die-hard Trumplicans
Are likely to turn Jan. six
Into a circus
Of absurd politics
 
And the Orange Hoax himself
Is unlikely to subside
He has too many tantrums
Tearing up his inside

AUTOCRAT CAUCUS

 

January 6 is the day
When Congress is sent
The Electoral College results
Normally a pro forma event
 
But on this upcoming Jan. 6
Which Trumplican Senator
Might ally with a House member
In a final (?) desperate attempt
To save the Orange Emperor?
 
Lying Ted is a possible candidate
Or Tom Cotton could be the guy
Lindsey Graham has certainly shown willingness
To jump into the pigsty
 
Meanwhile on the House side
The so-called Freedom Caucus
Has morphed into the Autocrat Caucus
Rendering American democracy
Further out of focus

ANTI-DEMOCRACY PARTY

 

Over one hundred House Trumplicans
Joined Texas and the Orange Hoax
In trying to persuade the Supremes
That many votes were just jokes
 
So was this effort
To nullify an election
Merely misguided
Or a systemic rejection?
 
Were the one hundred really willing
To cripple democracy
By cancelling millions of votes
And installing an autocracy?

WASN’T THE ALAMO IN TEXAS?

 

The Supreme Court tells Texas
To mind its own business
Which means in the judicial system
The Hoax has been pretty much winless
 
The briefs Texas, the Hoax, and others
Submitted to the Supremes
Read like the content
Found in pyramid schemes
 
Will this be the end
Of the Orange Hoax’s assault on democracy
Or will he persist in the
Six weeks left in his autocracy?
 
Well, he still has Judge Judy
People’s Court, and the like
Certainly some court somewhere
Might entertain his plight

THE TRUMPLICAN PARTY

 

Encouraged by the Orange Hoax
Mobs are proliferating
And the electoral process is
In danger of deteriorating
 
The Republican Party was once
A staunch defender of states’ rights
But now it’s a staunch defender
Of whatever the Orange Hoax likes
 
And the Orange Hoax mostly
Just likes himself
So states’ rights have been
Consigned to the back shelf
 
The Republican Party has been replaced
By the Trumplican Party
Which is now asking the Supremes
To nullify election results
And fulfill the Hoax’s dreams

CIVIL WAR II

 

In the Supreme Court
Texas is suing Georgia
Michigan, Wisconsin
And Pennsylvania
 
Texas doesn’t like
Election outcomes in those states
It wants the Supremes
To issue correction mandates
 
Various Republican states
And the Odious Orange Outrage
Have hopped on board this effort
To destroy the electoral stage

THE RIGHT STUFF

 

At 97 Chuck Yeager
Went aloft one last time
Into the unknown
After a life sublime

HOAX’S LEGAL EFFORTS DEGENERATING

 

The Orange Hoax and his allies
Are all out for the finish line
Every possible legal route
From fraud, to theft, to lying
 
The Hoax seems to think
That bullying and insults
Will let him keep the Presidency
And continue his autocratic assaults
 
In a single sentence
The Supreme Court today
Told Pennsylvania Republicans
To just go away

DUMB AS DIRT

 

A large number of Americans
Are apparently dumb as dirt
They find something on social media
If they are in agreement
Social media becomes their encyclopedia
 
This group of Americans
Is enthralled by a buffoon
An individual with no morals
And the intelligence of a loon
 
He calls the election rigged
And the dumb-as-dirt crowd says
“Forget the Constitution
You should still be Prez”

THE COWERING PARTY

 

Cowering, trembling, dissembling
The majority of Republican politicians
Are dealing with their degenerating leader
By assuming fetal positions
 
They fear the wrath of
Both the Hoax and his horde
So much for the party of Lincoln
Principles have been thrown overboard
 
The Republican Party of balanced budgets
Of limited but effective government
Of personal freedoms, of honesty
Is no longer
The replacement seems to be
A meandering unanchored extravaganza

MURKY NIGHT IN GEORGIA

 

Covid is surging but
The Odious Orange Outrageous Ogre
Is fixated on the election
And he won’t give up in Georgia
 
His harassment of the Governor
Is approaching criminality
He has no sense of morality
No appreciation of propriety
 
In his Georgia speech Saturday night
The allegedly fraudulent election
Was his main topic of ranting,
Raving, unrestrained bloviation

HELLUVA WITNESS

 

Giuliani’s witness Melissa Carone
Is a tRump voter extraordinaire
And did you catch that head
Of really serious hair?
 
Mrs. Carone is probably
A very fine person
But as a credible witness
She’s really hurtin’
 
What will the Orange Hoax
Say Saturday in Georgia?
Will he continue demeaning
The state’s Republican Governor?

FORTY SIX MINUTES OF YUCK

 

The most important speech
Of his Presidency
Was how the Orange Hoax described
A forty six minute absurdity
 
He ranted and raved
About alleged election fraud
But offered no evidence
Just fabrications, and logic much flawed
 
The newly pardoned Michael Flynn
Has announced his return
With a call for martial law
The Constitution apparently of no concern

WILL THE SUPREMES GET THEIR SHOT?

 
When will the Supremes
Get to opine on the election?
When will the Orange Hoax
Push the matter in their direction?
 
Is he waiting for Giuliani
To select the best case?
If so it might be awhile
Before things get to first base
 
Maybe the Hoax is reluctant
To get a definitive Supreme Court ruling
The likely negative result
Would just leaving him stewing
 
Maybe better to have uncertainty
Than a High Court slap in the face
He can make uncertainty
Sound like he won the race

BARR SAYS NO FRAUD

 

AG Barr says no fraud
How soon will it be before
It’s “Former” AG Barr
And he’s escorted out the door?
 
So Republican state officials
And Republicans in the Administration
Are saying tRump is all wet
Will now finally Congressional Republicans
Get up off the deck?
 
Mitch and his cronies
Are certainly not a brave lot
But with the AG at their backs
It could stiffen their spines somewhat

DEMOCRACY’S SO FRUSTRATING

 

The Odious Orange Outrageous Ogre
Finds democracy frustrating
Not like his family business
Which he ran by dictating
 
Things weren’t going right?
Throw a tantrum demanding action
Ivanka, Eric, and Don Jr.
Would hop to attention
 
Daddy’s having a fit
We need to calm him down
Else our tottering organization
Will sink into the ground

JOE INJURES FOOT

 

Joe injured his foot
Watch your health, Buddy
Maybe sequester yourself
Until January twenty
 
“Biden did not get
Eighty million votes”
Has become the mantra
Of the Orange Hoax
 
When the Hoax is out of office
Will the media resist
The Siren call of covering him
Or will his ubiquitousness persist?

HIS OWN WORST ENEMY

 

The Orange Hoax is spending Thanksgiving
Hanging at Camp David
Cursing Biden, voters
And especially covid
 
He can’t decide what has been
His worst adversary
What has brought the most damage
To his Presidency
 
But all he needs do
Is look into a mirror
The image he sees
Is his adversarial superior

TINY DESK FOR A TINY PRESIDENT

 

“I’m the President of the United States
Don’t ever talk to the President that way”
I’m gonna sit at this tiny desk
Until my orange hair turns grey
 
A tiny desk for
A man with tiny hands
And perhaps other appendages
Such as reproductive glands
 
Is the Supreme Court
About to get its chance
To chime in on the election
And prolong the Hoax’s farcical dance?

CHAMPION OF FABRICATIONS

Thanksgiving is here

Whats to be thankful for?

That the Odious Orange Outrageous Ogre

Will soon be out the door

Many more pardons

A few more executions

And then it’s goodbye

To the Champion of Fabrications

PARDONS COMMENCE

 

The Odious Orange Outrageous Ogre
Is beginning his farewell pardon barrage
Given the corruption of his Administration
The final number could be quite large
 
Will he preemptively pardon
Members of his family?
Don Jr. and Eric
Think that would be dandy
 
Ivanka might also
Be quite grateful
Hasn’t she been running a business
From a White House cubicle?
 
And of course
There’s the Hoax himself
Given his uncertain future
He might want
A pardon in his quiver

REALITY SETTING IN

With the Michigan certification

And the GSA-authorized transition

Reality is setting in and the tRump era

May be approaching termination

 

Dominating our lives

For the last four years

The Odious Orange Bloviator

Will no longer be the source of tears

 

But we have

Two months to go

Time enough for

A grand finale show

SIDNEY AND RUDY

 

Sidney and Rudy
Make quite a team
Attempting to move the Orange Hoax
Against history’s stream
 
But today has stymied their efforts
GSA authorized the transition
Michigan certified results
And some Republicans have even
Cut down on the insults
 
But back to Sidney and Rudy
Rarely has a legal alliance
Embraced such a degree
Of outright incompetence

VOTING AND DEMOCRACY

 

The Odious Orange Outrageous Ogre
Is treating voting as a malignancy
And not as a fundamental
Component of democracy
 
And too many Republicans
Are not objecting to the strategy
Of disenfranchising voters
To create an autocracy
 
What will be the lasting impact
Of the Hoax’s mutation
Of Presidential conduct
For his personal gratification?
 
Hopefully he’s an aberration
A harmless blip on the screen
And not a permanent change
in the historic scene

FOUNDING FATHERS LOOK DOWN

 

The Odious Orange Outrageous Ogre
Is playing tough
He wants you to believe
He’s still got his stuff
 
Only OOOO’s stuff
Is mostly hot air
Very little substance
More like a wink and a prayer
 
The Founding Fathers are looking down
Kicking themselves for not foreseeing
The possibility of such a clown

TARGET: ELECTION WORKERS

 

Disrupting election certifications
Is the Orange Hoax’s latest strategy
If he can capture the process
He might retain his White House residency
 
No prior President
Has so blatantly tried
To subvert the electoral process
With such a direct broadside
 
Disenfranchising voters
Is the name of his game
Don’t count votes and let
Election workers take the blame

CHAOS, DISRUPTION, AND RUDY

 

The Odious Orange Outrage
Is exploring all possibilities
Personal, political, legal, judicial
In his search for election vulnerabilities
 
The resulting chaos and disruption
Are to him of no concern
If he can find an opening
Then burn baby burn
 
Meanwhile he is AWOL
From the covid tsunami
That is engulfing the nation
And leaving him living in infamy
 
And meanwhile again
Didja’ catch Giuliani’s hair dye
Wandering down his face
Like a drunken fly?

WILL HE PARDON THE TURKEY?

 

The Orange Hoax is scheduled to pardon
The Thanksgiving turkey next week
But so foul is the Hoax’s mood
The bird might end up as meat
 
The Hoax walks out with a knife
And grabs the bird by its long neck
Performs a decapitation
And creates a bloody wreck
 
The Hoax’s base explodes with applause
And words very vitriolic
The poor slaughter bird is
For the nation symbolic

HIT AND RUN PRESIDENCY

 

The Orange Hoax’s exit
Is beginning to resemble
A hit and run disaster
Leaving a mess monumental
 
Clinging desperately to
The Presidential spotlight
Trying to avoid the loneliness
Of the political night
 
And if he leaves a mess
For his successor
So much the better
It’ll punish the nation properly
For ending his autocracy

BIG ORANGE BABY

 

The Big Orange Baby
Has decided to end
The nation’s involvement in
Iraq and Afghanistan
He apparently sees it

as his legacy

Or maybe just a way
To flip off history
 
The Orange Hoax continues
To insist he won the election
He refuses to accept
That he sustained a massive rejection

REPUBLICANS GET D- IN MORALITY 101

 

Republicans are complicit
In the Orange Hoax’s obsession
To divide Americans by
Claiming a rigged election
 
Moscow Mitch especially
As Senate Majority Leader
He should be putting country before
The Orange Chaos Breeder
 
Far too many citizens
Are gullible for autocratic preaching
Republican politicians should not be
Contributing to the screeching
