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

NO LONGER ORANGE?

 

Have you noticed?
The Orange Hoax’s hair
Is turning significantly white
He’s beginning to resemble a polar bear
Whose belt is too tight
 
A flaccid sickly polar bear
Incapable of catching its own food
He has delegated that task
To supporters who think he’s a dude
 
Thousands of those supporters
Descended on Washington today
He gave them a wave
As he went to a golf course to play

TRUMP CONCEDES, SORTA

 

The Orange Hoax conceded
Ambiguously and with reluctance
At a covid vaccine update
Where he was bragging about his competence
 
He alluded to the possibility
Of an Administration other than his own
Which is an implication that soon
He might be off the throne
 
That’s likely the most
The nation will get
From the narcissistic vain Hoax
Who thought his future was set

THE ORANGE HOAX IN 2024?

 

Maybe the Orange Hoax’s vision
Is a return in twenty twenty-four
All well and good if
It gets him today out the door
 
But it’s hard to imagine
That the nation would give him
After his chaotic first term
A second chance at governing
 
Once he’s out the door
His base will likely evaporate
Only the diehard whackos
Will remain in their trance-like state

THE LOSER’S FIRST WEEK

 

In his first week of
Seeing the Presidency gone
The Orange Hoax began
Dismantling the Pentagon
 
Ushered out were several
Competent officials
Replacing them were
Trumpian residuals
 
So one week down
Ten to go
Time enough for a narcissistic buffoon
To put on quite a show

THE HOAX’S THINKING

 

“What mischief can I
Rain on the nation?”
Wondered the Odious Orange Outrage
As he fumed about the election
 
“I’m not a loser
So I will not accept this loss
I’m still determined
To be the nation’s boss”
 
“The people still want me
They just don’t know it yet
So I’ll subvert democracy
Until they get the hint”

MAINTAINING THE CHAOS

 

The Orange Hoax lost the election
So he fires his SecDef
How many more will go
Before he catches his breath
 
Maintaining the chaos
That has defined his Administration
Is apparently the goal
As he nears its truncation
 
Never mind the harm
That might befall the nation
As he slashes and burns
In his petulant frustration

REALITY

 

The Odious Orange Outrage
Is trying to comprehend
The humiliating rejection
That hopefully is his political end
 
Unfortunately
Few in his entourage
Have the gonads to say
“Get a grip Bozo
Come January you’re no longer in charge”
 
Assuming his judicial efforts
Are to no avail
Can he make a comeback
Assuming he’s not in debtors’ prison or jail

DID HE SHOOT PAR?

 

Biden is the winner
That is, unofficially
Paperwork and certifications remain
And who knows what judicially
 
The Orange Hoax got the news
While hacking around a golf ball
Lies and golf have defined his Presidency
And significantly contributed to his fall

READY FOR TWO MONTHS OF FUN?

 

Segregated ballots
Provisional ballots
Absentee ballots
Military ballots
Early ballots
Election day ballots
CNN’s John King and his many peers
Have driven this citizen

To many beers
 
A result might be called tonight
But only unofficially
The uncertainty will likely last
Well into January
 
Bottom line is
The Odious Orange Outrage
Will likely need be dragged
Kicking and screaming
From the center of the stage

CHEATING, FRAUD, CORRUPTION

 

The Odious Orange Huckster
Claims cheating, fraud, corruption
He will fight in the courts
To impose his victory assumption
 
If the Dems are so corrupt
Here’s the puzzling question
How did the Senate
Apparently remain Republican?
 
Answer me that
Odious Orange Outrage
You say the Dems are corrupt
But only when it’s you on the stage

DAY TWO

 

Wisconsin, Pennsylvania
Michigan, Nevada
North Carolina, Georgia
And of course Florida
 
These are the states
Still in various stages of uncertainty
Biden is awaiting the vote count
The Orange Hoax is awaiting the judiciary
 
The Hoax doesn’t want
All the votes to be tallied
Just the votes for him
The rest can be shredded

WAITING

 

Waiting out the counting
Looks like this will take awhile
Think I’ll hit the sack
When I awake
Should I have a frown or a smile?
Or maybe neither
Because the counters
Might be taking a breather

PARTY OF VOTER SUPPRESSION

 

The Grand Old Party has become
The Party of Voter Suppression
It has filed multiple court cases
All seeking voter exclusion
 
And if the Republicans succeed?
So much for democracy
We would be well on the road
To Mussolini-style autocracy
 
The Orange Hoax is not a believer
In the democratic system
A desire to be fair and honest
Just flat missed him
 
What he believes in is
His own self-importance
That and the greatness
Of his Presidential performance

DID ORANGE HOAX GO TO CHURCH?

 

Did the Orange Hoax make it
To church today?
After all it’s Sunday
And he certainly should pray
 
Pray for his soul, that is
Assuming he has one
The Creator may have short-changed him
Which is why he’s emotionally numb
 
Two days to go
And the Hoax is still equivocating
As to how he might react
If the voters reject him as debilitating
