TRUMPIANS AND TECHNOLOGY

 

Most Trumpians are
Technological goobers
They don’t understand how things work
Just rely on social media rumors
 
Thus conspiracy theories
Are how they view the world
Everything’s against them
But they’re happy in their peril
 
Modern day voting?
Way beyond their comprehension
Thus if they lose an election
Fraud was obviously the causation

GOOD WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT

 

The Orange Hoax has
The ideal situation
He has zero responsibilities
And a base giving unrestrained adulation
 
He found governing
To be a bore
But he loved coming through
The White House door
 
He thoroughly enjoys
Ranting and raving
Which he can do now
With no consequences intruding

AMERICAN INDIVIDUALISM

 

American individualism
Has been rejected
By a Republican Party element
That feels disrespected
 
The members have found comfort
In embracing a huckster
Who attacks opponents
With outrageous bluster

AMERICA FIRST TOUR

 

Believe the Orange Hoax
Won the election?
Think traditional Republicans
Are bad for the nation?
 
Then join Matt and Marjorie
On their America First Tour
Help them manipulate
The lowest common denominator

THE ONE-EIGHTY PARTY

 

What’s a one-eighty?
When you’re heading in one direction
Then abruptly turn in the opposite
With exacting precision
 
Like Kevin McCarthy
Condemning the Orange Hoax’s
Incitement of insurrection
And then heading to Mar-a-Lago
For a fawning conversation
 
Or Elise Stefanik
Going from moderate Republican
To a kowtowing hard-core
Boot-licking Trumpian

THE EMPEROR SPEAKS

 

The Orange Emperor indicated
“I want her gone”
His toadies responded
“Yes, Your Lordship, it will be done”
 
So much for
The home of the brave
Republicans have descended
Into a dark cave

RUBBERMAN

 

Kevin McCarthy
Is definitely a Rubberman
He has no solidness
Without help he cannot stand
 
He contorts and distorts
Slouches and slumps
Slides and glides
Oozes over the bumps
 
Sort of like
The Republican Party overall
No principles other than
Worshiping the Orange Hairball

TRUMPIANS

Americans pride themselves
On being free and independent
Trumpians pride themselves
On kowtowing to an Orange incompetent

21st CENTURY’S FIRST TWO DECADES

 

The 21st Century’s
First two decades
Had human-caused disasters
In spades
 
9/11 was the start
Middle Eastern extremists
Worked themselves into a frenzy
And attacked
People of the West
 
Then Bush2
Invaded Iraq
An action he probably
Would like to have back
 
The final blow
To his Administration
Was the economic slump
Known as the Great Recession
 
This produced
The tea party phenomenon
Which accelerated the Republican Party’s
Decades long decline
 
Which in turn led to
The devastating presidency
Of The Orange Hoax
And his incompetent cadre
 
And at the end of the two decades
The covid pandemic came onboard
Exposing The Hoax
As a world-class fraud
 
So two decades down
Eight to go
Most of us won’t be around
For the whole show

MR. REPUBLICAN GETS BOOED

 

New evidence that
The Republican Party has become third rate
Utah Republicans booed Mitt Romney
Once Mr. Republican incarnate

THE GOP SLIDE

 

Matt Gaetz and Rudy Giuliani
Examples of Republican propriety
Setting the example
For Republican immorality
 
How far the GOP has fallen
From Ronnie Reagan’s time
Scoundrels and dingbats
Available for a dime

TUCKER

 

Tucker Carlson
What a piece of work
Some would even say
The guy is a jerk
 
But he does have the welfare
Of kids at heart
Rip off their masks
Throw their parents in the slammer
It’s not much but it’s a start

JOE GIVES SPEECH

 

Joe gave a speech
Kamala and Nancy were sitting behind
The Hoax was watching on TV
What he was thinking was not very kind
 
It should be him
Addressing the nation
The election was stolen
There should have been an insurrection

CONSERVATIVES VERSUS REPUBLICANS

 

What is the difference
Between Conservatives and Republicans?
Conservatives have principles
Republicans have morphed into
Unprincipled politicians

NC GOOBERS

North Carolina Goobers
Versus the 21st Century
You Goobers need
To reconsider your strategy
 
Which in Elizabeth City is
To avoid factual inclusion
Showing only twenty seconds
Of body cam confusion

WHEN WILL NUMBERS GO DOWN?

 

More of the nation
Is getting vaccinated
But Covid cases and deaths
Remain stagnated
 
When will the numbers
Start descending?
That’s anybody’s random guess
Just keep your mask in place
And let Dr. Fauci handle the rest

ANTI-VAXXERS

 

Anti-vaxxers are becoming antsy
Most sane people are getting vaxxed
And those left are saying
“None of your beeswax”
 
Yes, that good ol’ American
“Don’t tell me what to do
That British king tried
And we showed him the loo”

WHEREFORE ART THOU JOE?

 

What is Joe doing these days?
He’s mentioned every now and then
But the nation had come to expect
Its President to be a mad bull in a pen

KENNEDY V. ABRAMS

 

Senator Kennedy of Louisiana
Is a Good Ol’ Boy
But Stacey Abrams of Georgia
Played him like a toy
 
The Senator wanted to know
In Georgia’s new voting laws
Exactly what Stacey objected to
She responded in concise detail
Leaving the Senator munching goober stew

REPUBLICAN DISAPPOINTMENT

 

Some Republicans appear disappointed
That Derek Chauvin was convicted
They wanted acquittal
So they could loudly howl about
The resulting riotous rebuttal 

GUILTY

Verdict is in
GUILTY AS CHARGED
The nation can now move forward
The jury is discharged
 
Hopefully this is not
Just an aberration
That race relations will see
Continued positive progression

WE AWAIT

 

The trial is in
The hands of the jury
The nation awaits
The verdict with worry

ANGLO-SAXON REPARATIONS CAUCUS

 

Marjorie Taylor Greene
Wanted an America First caucus
To be established
In the United States Congress
 
Even a few Republicans
Had some objections
So Marjorie changed her plans
And is investigating other options
 
Maybe an Anglo-Saxon Reparations caucus
Which Tucker Carlson could monitor
Ensuring that pale folk
Are accorded proper honor

THE HOAX AND THE RUSSKIES

 

New reporting by
A New York Times reporter
Provides more evidence that
Russia was seeking American disorder
 
And the Russkies had the support
Of the Hoax’s campaign
Which was providing Russian operatives
With much to bring Hillary pain

GUNS TO THE RIGHT OF US. . .

 

Thanks in part to the NRA
The nation is facing an epidemic
Of mass shootings
But no cause for panic
 
Because the Founding Fathers wanted
The citizenry to possess
Enough firepower to put
Rebellion to rest
 
Only problem is
Goober citizens possessing
Today’s enormous firepower
Are rebels in waiting

MATT, WE’RE ROOTING FOR YA

 

Lotta troubling news these days
But fortunately we have Matt Gaetz
To keep us entertained
As he self-incinerates
 
And if we get tired of Matt
There’s always Jim Jordan
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley
Who together constitute

A true yuck machine

AFGHANISTAN

President Biden says
We’re outta Afghanistan
Enough with trying to bring peace
To this forlorn land
 
Bringing democracy and stability
To a culture not ready
Is a formidable task
With few successes in history

GAETZ UPDATE

 

Matt Gaetz’s buddy
Has apparently agreed to squeal
Matt might be in serious trouble
With little possibility for a deal
 
Unless he has something
On his mentor the Hoax
Wouldn’t that be great?
And a helluva joke

THE CONSTITUTION’S ABERRATION

 

The Second Amendment
Is the Constitution’s aberration
Adopted at a time
When today’s power of guns
Was beyond imagination
 

As guns have become

Weapons of massive destruction
The Amendment’s murky wording
Has stymied the nation
From enacting realistic measures
Of gun regulation

DUMB SOB

 

The Orange Hoax called Mitch
A dumb SOB
If that’s not the pot
Calling the kettle black
Then I’m a cicada in a tree

TOO SOON FOR HISTORIANS?

 

Too soon for historians
To judge the Hoax’s Presidency?
We shouldn’t wait too long
For a serious colonoscopy
 
Here’s a working hypothesis
He was the worst President in history
None of the preceding forty-four
Came close to his degree of incompetency

MATT ADDRESSES WOMEN

 

What’s the subject tonight?
Once more into the well
Rattling the Republicans’ crates
And ringing Matt Gaetz’s bell
 
Matt is speaking this evening
To a Women’s group in Florida
Under the auspices of the Hoax’s
Assault on law and order
 
Hope Matt checked at the door
The nude pictures of his many conquests
Or maybe he’ll ask the ladies with a wink
If they have any requests

MODERATE REPUBLICANS’ QUANDRY

 

Should moderate Republicans
Cut their ties
To the party that has morphed
Into a conglomeration of lies?
 
The Orange Hoax, Gaetz, Pompeo
Rudy, Ted Cruz, Steven Miller
Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor Greene
The Republican Party has become
Home for a really weird scene

GUNS

 

Guns to the right of us
Guns to the left of us
Guns in front of us
Into the valley of guns
He carried his 18th Century Blunderbuss
 
Which was one of the
Few types of guns that could be bought
Back in 1791 when the Second Amendment
Was a Bill of Rights afterthought

REPUBLICANS SINK TO THEIR ESSENCE

 

The Republican Party is sinking
To what is its essence
Which is opposition to anything
That makes sense

MATT, WE LOVE YA

 

Matt Gaetz is adamant
He’s guilty of nothing
He’s just an adult male
Looking for a little something
 
And he never paid for sex
Not ever never
Real men don’t have to
Women paying is better

THE THREE STOOGES

 

Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan
Marjorie Taylor Greene
The future of the Republican Party
That’s really keen
 
They’re certainly not the deep swamp
That has paralyzed policy-making
They’re more like noxious weeds
That need occasional trimming

MLB CANCELS GEORGIA

 

Major League Baseball
Tells Georgia no All-Star celebration
Obama gives a cheer
The Hoax calls for an insurrection

JOHN BOEHNER SETS GOP STRAIGHT

 

In an upcoming memoir
Former House Speaker John Boehner
Lights into the Republican Party’s
Degeneration into media-mania
 
The party’s become the captive
Of right-wing media
Which pulls the strings and calls the shots
Setting the GOP’s political agenda

CONGRESSMAN GAETZ

 

Florida Congressman Gaetz
Is testing the norms of his institution
Showing pictures of his sexual conquests
To his fellow Representatives
Is frowned upon by the Constitution
(Isn’t it?)

THE CIRCLE

 

The circle at the end of the street
Has developed into more
Than just a place to meet
 
Plots are hatched there
Gossip is ubiquitous
Children play there
Hierarchy is ambiguous
 
Trees, bushes, or flowers
Benches, stumps, or chairs
Grass, dirt, or mulch
A lean-to, tent, or hutch
 
Disagreements about what’s desirable
Has many factions looking to win
There’s even an alumni association
Of former residents weighing in

JUST WHAT WE NEED

 

The Hoax reportedly has a webpage
But so do pornographers
Thus he’s in good company
Maybe they can become collaborators

THE FILIBUSTER

 
The filibuster
A great thing to have
If you’re in the minority
Not so much
If you’re in the majority
 
Or is it
The other way 'round?
Whatever the case
If has the potential for running
Democracy into the ground
 
Parliamentarian Mitch McConnell
Knows how it’s done
Playing with the rules has provided him
Years of really good fun

SUEZ CANAL INTERACTIVE

 

What’s with this boat
In the Suez Canal?
Did the helmsman (or helmswoman)
Spill their coffee
And bend down for a towel?
 
On the CNN website
Is an interactive canal steering tool
Give it a try and see
If you can maintain your cool

JUST PEACEFUL PEOPLE

 

The Orange Hoax says
It wasn’t a mob at all
Just peaceful people
Out having a ball
 
Hugging the police
Exchanging autographs
Planning get-togethers
For the aftermath

BUT I REALLY GOTTA GO

 

If a person anguished and fidgeting
Is in a Georgia voting line
Don’t offer them a urine bag
That would be a crime
 
Georgia has made it illegal
To give gifts to a voter

Waiting in a line to vote

Thus no gift urine bags
For a waiting urinator

JOE’S FIRST PRESSER

 

Joe’s first press conference
Was a letdown for the press
Joe made no major gaffes
And avoided any significant mess
Takes all the fun out of being a reporter
When the object of interrogation
Maintains a modicum of order

SIDNEY POWELL, LEGAL EAGLE

 

Sidney Powell, quite the legal eagle
In defense of a defamation charge
She said in effect
My guilt is very large
 
Yes, I defamed
The voting machine company
But it was for a good cause
keeping the Hoax in control of the country

THAT LEAKY SOUTHERN BORDER

 

Joe’s got himself a problem
Down at the border
With the Hoax gone
Latin Americans think
Why wait any longer?
 
Is there a solution to the problem?
If so it’s not readily apparent
maybe the budget deficits
Will eventually cause an economic crash
And have Americans streaming into Mexico
Looking for stray cash

THE TIMES THEY ARE A’CHANGING

 

“Cancel culture,” “woke” capital or whatever
What language is this mess?
The trend setters are moving too quickly
For us ol' folks to stay abreast

DEMOCRACY? NO LONGER DESIRABLE

 

Lincoln’s Grand Ol’ Party has declared war
On the concept of democracy
Many of today’s Republicans
Want a replacement
Good ol’ dictatorial autocracy

TRUMP'S PLANE

 

CNN reports
The Hoax’s old plane
Has become a junk-yard dog
Sorta like its master
An over-the-hill hog

KEVIN TIES HIMSELF IN KNOTS

 

Kevin McCarthy says he didn’t
Try to overthrow the election
Notwithstanding the attempts he supported
To overthrow the election
 
Kevin certainly is
Quite a piece of work
His lack of honesty
Has him close to being a jerk

RAND “BULLY” PAUL

 

Immunologist Anthony Fauci
And Senator Rand Paul
Got into a to-do
Rand emerged looking like
The bully chimpanzee in the zoo

FILIBUSTER THIS

 

Mitch is worried
Schumer is threatening
Mitch’s favorite weapon
Which is filibustering
 
According to Mitch
Ending the filibuster
Would result in a
Scorched earth Senate legislature
 
Which raises the question
Isn’t the Senate now
About as scorched earth as
An over-roasted cow?

ONE PERSON ONE VOTE?

 

One person one vote?
Not the Republican slogan
More likely one vote
Only if you’re a Republican
 
Moscow is possibly behind
The efforts by Republican legislators
To curtail voting
Through super-aggressive regulators
 
Speaking of Moscow
If the lawsuits get too numerous
The Hoax might leave Mar-a-Lago
For the more favorable environs
Of Putin’s home Moscow

TUCKER AND TED

 

Ted Cruz wants
To berate the Pentagon
For saying negative things
About poor Tucker Carlson
 
Neither Ted nor Tucker
Has served in the military
Unlike the Orange Hoax
Who was in the Bone Spur Company

WISCONSIN’S MISTAKE

 

Senator Ron Johnson
Didn’t fear the insurrectionists
Because they were very white
And politically far to the right
 
Where did Wisconsin
Find this dingbat?
He’s up for reelection in 2022
Maybe the voters will say, “Sorry ‘bout that”

HOLD DOWN THE VOTE

 

Hold down the vote
Is the Republicans’ aim
They don’t want you voting
Unless you’re playing their game
 
Which is tax cuts for the rich
Less benefits for the middle class and poor
Less government for everyone
And for immigrants a closed door

CUOMO IN TROUBLE

 

Andrew Cuomo's in trouble
On the political bubble
Yeah, he played word games
With attractive young things
But that doesn’t mean
He was trying to have flings

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand

Destroyer of Al Franken

Has entered the fray

When’s Cuomo’s last day?

BIDEN’S FIRST PRIME TIME

 

Who was this guy
Expressing so much empathy?
A guy who told the truth
And not some murky fantasy?
 
Actually treating the audience
Like intelligent thinking allies
And not a bunch of rubes
Craving enemies to brutalize

1968 or 2020?

Which year was worse
In American history
1968 or 2020?
 
In 1968
The Communist’s Tet Offensive endeavor
Highlighted the futility
Of the Vietnam adventure
Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy
Were victims of assassination
Riots occurred throughout the nation
The Chicago Democratic Convention
Was a chaotic absurdity
Tricky Dick Nixon
Captured the Presidency
 
In 2020
A pandemic ravaged the land
American deaths were multiple times
Those in Vietnam
The Odious Orange Outrage
Polarized the population
And set the stage
For an attempted insurrection

GOP SINKS FROM SIGHT

 

What are Republicans
Doing these days?
They’ve been kinda quiet
Maybe their eyes are still glazed
 
From the conflagration in the wake
Of the Odious Orange Outrage
As he tried to keep
From leaving the stage

MEGHAN AND HARRY

 

Is this British thing
Of worshipping a no-power monarchy
An affront to democracy
Or just a bunch of malarky?
 
Maybe it’s something like
Our QAnon fetish
We pretend it’s absurd
But the conspiracies we certainly relish

COCKROACHES

 

The State Department staffer
Who took part in the Capitol assault
Says his cell has cockroaches
The judge said sorry ‘bout that
The judge got no heart

REPUBLICANS OPPOSE TO DEMOCRACY

 

Republicans want to make it
More difficult to vote
Instead of fighting that battle
Dems should go for the throat
 
Whatever the requirements
Focus on getting out the vote
Concentrate on moving voters to the polls
Provide bikes, organize caravans, rent trains
Get every Richard, Susan, Betty
On the voting rolls

NO MARCH 4 INAUGURAL

 

Well, no March 4 inaugural
QAnon has let us down
Could it actually be
That the outfit is just a clown?

RIOTERS COMMUNICATING WITH CONGRESS?

 

CNN reports
Some members of Congress
May have been communicating with rioters
As the latter charged the Capitol
Maybe confirming targets with insiders?

SOCIAL MEDIA MADNESS

 

QAnon says March 4
Will be the Hoax’s resurrection day
He will reappear at the White House
And he will come to stay
 
Being threatened by whackos
Living an online fantasy
Is that where social media
Is leading our history?

FABRICATION VACCINE NEEDED

 

A vaccine is needed
To control the fabrication disease
Running rampant through
The Republican House of Sleaze
 
As for the source of the pandemic
One suspect certainly is
The Odious Orange Outrage
Dropping falsehoods right and left
As he waddles across the stage

THOSE COWARDLY JUSTICES

 

In his tirade at CPAC
The Orange Hoax attacked the Supreme Court
Suggesting the Justices were cowards
For not protecting his Presidential fort
 
Yes, it must be
In the Constitution somewhere
That the Supreme Court should
Kowtow to the Orange Bear
