ONLY HE CAN FIX IT


Hurricane in the South
Pandemic all over
Violence in the cities
Economy struggling to recover

And who has the answers?
The Odious Orange Outrage
Just give him four more years
And he will turn the page

Bringing the nation peace
Prosperity and health
And maybe a big basket
Of really good other stuff

Four years ago he said
Only he could fix it
He fixed it alright
By putting the nation in
A deep dark pit

MELANIA NOT IN TUNE


This time Melania didn’t plagiarize
She gave a commendable presentation
Expressing empathy for covid victims
And pleading for less political vituperation

Fat chance the Orange Hoax was listening
He was likely too preoccupied
Thinking up more nasty names
For the Dems on the other side

Indeed Melania was a voice in the wilderness
Saying reasonable things
Not like most of the rest
Who spoke like autocratic kings

KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE


Kimberly Guilfoyle
Brought it in heavy
Rambling, ranting, raving
For slash and burn she was ready

With exuberance and passion
She laid it on the line
Vote against Joe Biden
Or the nation won’t be worth a dime

The fate of the country
Is what’s at stake
At least that’s Kimberly’s view
And she ain’t no snowflake

Besides, she’s dating
Donald Trump Junior
Who left his spouse
For the Fox News boomer

KELLYANNE, PLEASE DON’T GO


Kellyanne Conway’s joining the crowd
And bailing on her beloved tRump
Wonder who’s next to go
Little Ivanka Trump?

Members of his own family
Have expressed negative opinions
About the Odious Orange Outrage
And his overly loyal minions

He may win the election
And burden us four more years
We’ll just have to adjust
And drink many, many beers

BIG SISTER SPEAKS


The Orange Hoax’s big sister
Cut loose on her little bro
Accusing of phoniness, cruelty, lying
And SATs taken by a guy named Joe

Hoax will be pulling out
All the stops this week
Striving for a blockbuster show
That sends the Dems up the creek

He’s planning to speak
Each and every day
The mere thought of such over-exposure
Makes you wanna pray

THUGS AT THE POLLS


Thugs “guarding” the polls
Taking copious notes
Nasty looking people
Might curtail the votes

Attacking the essence of democracy
That seems to be tRump’s game
He’s setting up that essence
If needed to take the blame

If the voters throw him out
After four years of his chaos
His ego will require a disaster
That threatens the entire house

ANOTHER TRUMPER TO THE SLAMMER?


Talk about sinking far
tRump’s one time cohort
The illustrious Hokie Steve Bannon
Is charged with fraudulent conduct

He and several pals
To build tRump’s border wall
Collected 25 million bucks
But allegedly a chunk of the money
Illegally went for their own yucks

Meanwhile, the Orange Hoax apparently
Plans to flood voting places
With law enforcement personnel
To intimidate non-white races

Between voter intimidation
And shutting down the mail
The Odious Orange Outrage
Should either win or go to jail

WHACKOS FINDING A HOME


Far right whack-jobs
Are coming outta the woodworks
Many Republicans are
Afraid to call them jerks

There’s a Georgia Congressional candidate
Marjorie Taylor Greene
She’s bought into QAnon
Seeking to be a conspiracy queen

The Orange Hoax calls her
A future Republican Star
The party of Lincoln, Eisenhower, Reagan
Has sunk pretty darn far

Q him/herself
Has volunteered to show her around
If she wins her election
And comes to DC town

SENATE INTEL COMMITTEE, BUT FIRST. . .


There once was an autocrat named tRump
Our Postal Service he would dump
We fell once for his siren song
On November 3 let’s tell him he’s gone

The Senate Intelligence Committee
A bipartisan respected organization
Reports that the Russkies did indeed
Interfere in the 2016 election

And are actively engaged in
The current election cycle
Supporting tRump’s efforts
To become an autocrat idyll

(With a shoutout to CC)

OVER HIS HEAD


Michelle Obama hit
The nail on the head
The Odious Orange Outrage
Is in way over his head

In his private sector days
He covered his incompetence and corruption
By lying, slipping, sliding and
Here and there a bankruptcy reorganization

As President, however
Bankruptcy is not an option
His incompetence and corruption
Are borne directly by the nation

Monday, August 17, 2020

SUBURBAN HOUSEWIVES


Where can I find me
One of tRump’s suburban housewives
These modern assertive women
Give me the hives

Oh for the good ol’ days
When women wore aprons and high heels
And spent their time in the kitchen
Preparing the meals

tRump is planning fireworks
for his nomination acceptance speech
entertaining the nation
is the only goal he has reached

WHO’S MAILING VOTING STUFF?


A large number of American voters
Are being mailed voting solicitations
Many do not realize
These aren’t official communications

They are efforts by
Non-government groups
Including political parties
Looking for dupes

Such a solicitation is really
Aimed at voting registration
Which in the past has required
Voter-initiated participation

So if you receive
A confusing bit of mail
About voter registration
Maybe you should get off your butt
And contact your
Official local voting organization

Saturday, August 15, 2020

Q HERE


Q has some instructions
For his/her intellectually challenged followers
If you are seeking truth
Fork over some dollars

Send a contribution
To the charity of your choosing
On second thought choosing
You will likely find confusing

So instead send fifty bucks
To the ASPCA
Save a poor puppy
Rather than cause more social disarray

And when that Republican Congressional candidate
From Georgia comes to town
Q will meet her at the airport
And show her around

SUPPRESS THE VOTE!


Yeah, the fewer votes the better
Keep voters from the polling place away
Make impossible voting through the mail
Citizens should stay home on election day

tRump wants voting limited
to his voters only
you other citizens
can go ride a pony

The Postal Inspector General
Has started an investigation
So how long before tRump
Fires the IG for insubordination?

BIRTHER REVIVAL, AND THE POST OFFICE


Fueling the Orange Hoax’s political rise
Was a birther conspiracy about Obama
Now the Hoax is intrigued by a similar conspiracy
Developing around VP candidate Kamala

And tRump has ‘fessed up that
He wants the Postal Service done
If the Service is kaput
Voting by mail won’t be much fun

The Hoax’s attack on the Post Office and
His embrace of another birther conspiracy
Gives him a leading chapter
In sleazy political history

KAMALA GETS FOX IN A DITHER


Tucker Carlson got into a thing
About Kamala Harris’s name
How is Kamala pronounced?
He wanted to make it a game

Best tread lightly, Tucker
Your name is very tempting
Replacing the “T” with a Fox News “F”
Would result in much guffawing

tRump’s presser on Wednesday was
A repetitive mix of “successes” and allegations
All of which were questionable
And many just fabrications

Tuesday, August 11, 2020

KAMALA GETS THE NOD



The Odious Orange Hoax called
Kamala Harris “nasty”
One of his favorite words
About women he finds a tad testy

Kamala will now be attacked
Relentlessly and unmercifully
By bigots, racists, and Republicans
Words sometimes used interchangeably

The Orange One praised VP Pence
But you could tell he was thinking
“Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley
Is it too late for changing?”

UNCONSTITUTIONAL SLOP


“Unconstitutional slop” was the output
Of a tRump weekend signature party
As described by a Republican Senator
The party being at a golf club in Jersey

Meanwhile, the order was apparently given
“slow down the mail”
Particularly election mail
Or you’ll go to jail

Neither rain nor snow
Nor dark of night
Unless tRump’s postal appointee
Says “losing some mail is alright”

REPUBLICAN DILEMMA


A Republican with a modicum of integrity
Needs to ask himself or her
What if the Odious Orange Outrage
Is reelected in November?

Could our Constitutional system survive
Four more years of near autocracy
Deep corruption and general incompetency
Without imploding significantly?

Meanwhile, on TV senior economic advisor
Larry “Wrong A Lot” Kudlow
Showed appalling ignorance about
The Orange Hoax’s mathematical judo

Saturday, August 08, 2020

TAKING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT


The Orange Hoax wants to dismantle Congress
Signing executive orders right and left
Next on the agenda
Sending the Supreme Court a farewell gift

His goal is to eliminate
Constitutional checks and balances
He wants total power
So no one can impeded his ravages

Living Americans are experiencing
The most incompetent, corrupt President in history
How they respond in November
Will determine if they can rise from this misery

MARK STOMPS OUT


Nancy says Mark Meadows
Slammed the table and walked out
Thus the covid relief efforts temporarily
Ended with a whimper and not a shout

Mark is an original
Tea party maverick
Representing backwoods of North Carolina
And is a lover of havoc

Indeed, that describes
The tRump approach to governing
Create a little havoc
And enjoy the resulting rioting

CORONAVIRUS BROADCASTER


The Odious Orange Hoax
Is a coronavirus broadcaster
Politicians he’s scheduled to see
Are likely to join the covid roster

Governor DeWine of Ohio
Became a victim of the bug
As did Representative Gohmert of Texas
Both just prior to receiving
The Hoax’s hello hug

As for the Hoax himself
He seems covid immune
Perhaps that’s because
He’s not really a human

CHILDREN VIRTUALLY IMMUNE


The Odious Orange Hoax
Wants to accept his nomination
From the Oval Office in the White House
Which would be a political and legal abomination

tRump says children
Are virtually immune from coronavirus
Which appears to be fake science
Espoused by the Orange Rhinoceros

You say that’s not a fair
Description of our President?
Have you seen the guy on the golf course?
A Rhinoceros is definitely present

“IT IS WHAT IT IS”


The Orange Master of Empathy
Gave his thoughts on the pandemic’s effect
“It is what it is”
Sounding as if he just lost a small bet

And besides, John Lewis did not attend
The Orange Hoax’s inauguration
A slight the Hoax considers
An insult requiring vilification

In his coronavirus briefings
The Orange Hoax throws out
A wide array of numbers
That he obviously knows little about

He calls them all “great”
But he uses the word indiscriminately
Applying it right and left to whatever
Has momentarily grabbed his fancy

Monday, August 03, 2020

TIKTOK, AND PATHETIC DR. BIRX


tRump has become involved in
The sale of the Chinese app TIKTOK
A high tech matter well above
His meager mental stock

On Saturday and Sunday
As coronavirus raged
The Odious Orange Hoax
Was in his protective golfing cage

Dr. Birx says the virus is
“Extraordinarily widespread”
The Orange Hoax responds
“I think we’re doing very well”
And in addition, Dr. Birx
You’re “pathetic” as hell

THREE MONTHS TO ELECTION


Republicans are considering a closed convention
As in closed to outside eyes
That means no media
Who indeed they despise

So transparency in government
Is another victim of tRump
He and his cronies are giving
Democracy the middle finger thump

The election is three months from Monday
Three months for the Odious Orange One
To rattle the nation’s foundations
Just to have a little fun

Saturday, August 01, 2020

HURRICANE A'COMING


Hurricane coming ashore
Hope tRump is ready
With his towel roll jump shot
And his aim is steady

Republicans are beginning to show
A tiny bit of back bone
Not much mind you
Mostly a slightly different tone

The party’s future
Is not very bright
Recovery from the Orange Covid
Will not likely happen overnight

Friday, July 31, 2020

VOTE FOR ME OR ELSE


The Odious Orange Hoax
Continues his attacks on
The nation’s electoral process
He wants mail-in-voting gone

He’s laying the groundwork
For a nasty time at year-end
A protracted legal and political battle
Into which the nation might descend

If he lost how likely is it
That he would accept the results?
About as likely as
Him being attractive in swim trunks

In the three months between
Now and the election
We will be subject to
A ranting, raving selection
That likely will not be matched
Until a far generation

FINALLY, A FACT


After many fictions about accomplishments
The Odious Orange Hoax
Has finally done a fact
The largest quarterly GDP fall
He certainly can brag about that

So he’s no longer wholly fiction
He’s got a fact on his resume
Let’s praise him to the heavens
Golf he can now go play

His latest obsession is
A “rigged” election come November
And what would make it “rigged”?
Any loss for the Orange Pretender

ORANGE HOAX FINDS NEW MEDICAL EXPERT


Hey “Stellllaaaahhhh”
Was what Marlon Brando pleaded
In “Streetcar Named Desire”
And his call Stella sorta heeded

When tRump retweeted
Stella Immanuel’s coronavirus absurdity
He became Brando’s Stanley Kowalski
A whack-job for eternity

In short, tRump has found himself
A new medical hero
Dr. Stella and her demon sex
Has moved Fauci’s star toward zero

Tuesday, July 28, 2020

QUITE A DAY FOR REPUBLICANS


AG Barr verbally dueled
With the House Judiciary Committee
Arguing the fiction that
He was an independent entity

The Orange Hoax
Attempted another covid briefing
In which he pretty much retreated from
acceptance of truths in an earlier outing

And he showed his priorities
By wanting to know
Why his approval ratings
Are so very low

Meanwhile in the Senate
Mitch is losing control
The Kentucky frog is hopping
From inaction to a swamp hole

NECESSARY EVIL


Senator Cotton of Arkansas
Described slavery as a necessary evil
Sorta like for cotton the crop
A necessary evil could be the boll weevil

If this sort of thing is
What’s taught in Arkansas schools
Maybe they shouldn’t reopen
Just let the kids play in the pools

Meanwhile, the Orange Hoax
Skipped John Lewis’ Capitol Hill honors
Maybe a golf game required his presence
Or maybe he had to see some donors
