CHIEF TWIT REVEALS APPROACH

 

If you think Twitter
Has been a major contributor
To public discourse deteriorating
Tighten your seat belts
The fun may just be beginning
 
Elon Musk, the new Chief Twit
Showed the direction he might take
The Twitter organization
By passing on an unsupported allegation
That the attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband
Was due to some sort of moral deviation
 
Just what Twitter needs
The abandonment of all goals
About truth, conspiracies, and
The ramblings of lost souls

GUNS AND VOTERS

 

Wannabe bullies with guns
Are trying to intimidate citizens in Arizona
Hanging out near voting places
Ostensibly to maintain order
 
Their real motivations, however
Are likely decidedly mixed and varied
For some, guns establish their identity
For others, the possibility of mayhem and anarchy
Is what wags their needles fundamentally

ROUSING THE RABBLE

 

The political rhetoric
Particularly from the right
Is motivating the whack jobs
To violence, crimes, and fight
 
Tone down the rhetoric?
Not likely possible
Too many pols enjoy
Rousing the rabble
 
The Orange Hoax’s legacy
Will likely be
A polarized nation
Mired in threatening, belligerent oratory

LOCAL POLS AND YOUR MEDICAL CARE

 

Doc Oz wants local political leaders
Involved in your medical care
Turn your head and cough
A City Councilman has hold of your pair
 
The Mayor is giving
A rectal examination
The Town Treasurer is checking
Toe fungus penetration
And the City Manager is focused
On the pelvic location
 
Meanwhile Doc Oz
Is trying to convince
Pennsylvania voters
He’s not a New Jersey Prince

BETTER THAN THE HOAX

 

Fetterman did some word-stumbling
But it could have been worse
He wasn’t as bad as the Orange Hoax
Who’s often verbally lost

😈

SUPPRESS THE VOTE

 

“Get out the vote”
Not Republicans motto
“Suppress the vote”
Is where they want to go
 
If you’re not a white male
They prefer you don’t vote
Because you’re less likely
To vote for their bloke
 
There are exceptions
If you’re a Kanye West
Or a Margorie Taylor Green
You’re more likely to meet the MAGA test
Of being bigoted and mean

TWO WEEKS AWAY

 

Lindsey gets a break
Justice Thomas say not yet
Meanwhile, election day
Is two short weeks away
 
Armed poll watchers
Are intimidating Arizona voters
Is that what's become of democracy
Running a gauntlet of trigger-happy loafers?

HOAX ON THE HOT SEAT

 

Liz Cheney is a party pooper
She says no live TV
For the Odious Orange Outrage
If he decides to give testimony
 
But Liz, it would be
Such a terrific blast
And your team should be able
To make the Hoax choke and gasp
 
Just say,
“We didn’t get you here
For pontificating
You’re here to answer questions
Otherwise the TV cameras stop operating”

Saturday, October 22, 2022

REALLY WANTS TO TESTIFY

 

The Odious Orange Hoax
Is probably very much tempted to testify
It would be a TV spectacular
Which is his favorite pie
 
One more chance to be
The center of attention
The nation’s eyes on him
As he spars with the investigation

Friday, October 21, 2022

ECONOMIC CONUNDRUM

 

Recession and inflation
Are not expected to occur together
If you want to know why
Ask an economist
But likely you won’t understand the answer
 
Into this economic conundrum
Steps the ambitious unscrupulous politician
Claiming to have the solution
Which they’ll disclose
Only after winning their election


Thursday, October 20, 2022

HARDLY KNEW YA’

 

Liz, we hardly knew ya’
Sorry things didn’t work out
Next time don’t come on so strong
Take a less provocative route
 
Does this mean Boris returns?
Let’s hope not
One session with that clown
Caused a national blood clot

HOAX CAUGHT FIBBING


A Judge said the Odious Orange Hoax
Knew voter fraud numbers in a court filing
Were wrong
But hey Judge,
Give the Hoax a break
He was just trying to avoid
His swan song


Tuesday, October 18, 2022

WARFARE PUTIN STYLE

 

Comrade Putin’s strategy
Is to murder indiscriminately
A strategy his armed forces
Are carrying out with alacrity
 
The question presented is
How in the Twenty-First Century
Does the world deal with
An amoral war-making mentality?

Monday, October 17, 2022

HONORARY BADGE


Candidate Herschel Walker
Is no ding-a-ling
After all,
He has an honorary badge
That entitles him to free parking
 
And though his domestic life
Might leave something to be desired
He seems to have kept track
Of most of those he sired

GOP DETERIORATON

 

A few decades back
The Grand Old Party had
Some serious intellectuals
Many of their replacements
Appear to lack
Basic cerebral essentials

NANCY PELOSI, AMERICAN HERO

 

What is a hero?
One definition is an individual
Who in a time of great distress
Remains in control
Is not sidetracked by the mess
Performs their duties
And maintains their effectiveness
 
Speaker of the House
Democrat Nancy Pelosi
Has been a much ridiculed politician
But the latest Jan 6 videos
Show a competent leader in action
In a very threatening situation
 
As the Orange Hoax’s mob
Ransacked the Halls of Congress
Speaker Pelosi calmly but emphatically
Sought to extract the Executive Branch
From its Hoax-imposed lethargy
 
She was not alone
Others also acted
But she played a central role
In getting the Executive Branch machinery
into needed action
and onto its Constitutional duty

SUPOENA FOR THE HOAX

 

The Orange Hoax says, subpoena?
You should’a asked me sooner
But it’s too late now
I’m playing no longer
 
What you’re doing
Is a charade and witch hunt
I’m the Odious Orange Outrage
And I’m still on the stage
 
My followers worship me
Because I’m the greatest ever
You may deny that
But history will remember
 
Here’s my fourteen-page reply
It sets the record straight
Now stay away from
My Mar-a-Lago gate

Thursday, October 13, 2022

INCITING THE MOB

 

Video in the latest Jan 6 hearing
And on CNN Thursday night
Showed in gripping detail
The chaos that threatened democracy
And that was instigated by
The Orange Hoax from the Presidency
 
The danger currently remains
Smoldering in the irrational ire
Of aggrieved disturbed individuals
Hostages to the social media quagmire

Wednesday, October 12, 2022

RON AGAINST ROE

 

Dems are doubling down
For the upcoming mid-term tests
Striving to label Republicans
As anti-abortion authoritarian pests
 
The Senate Democratic candidate in Wisconsin
Is running ads against Ron Johnson
Saying “Ron Against Roe”
Which in the deep red Badger State
Is not likely to capture the rodeo

Tuesday, October 11, 2022

THE HOAX’S PRIORITIES

 

As a war rages in Ukraine the Orange Hoax
continues his documents comedy
His goal is not clear but it’s obvious
He’s missing the Presidency
 
Where he was the center of attention
All eyes were upon him
Overly loyal solicitous sycophants
Responded to his every whim

Monday, October 10, 2022

PUTIN THE HUN


With multiple attacks on civilians
Putin has upped the ante
He is challenging the world
With his crimes against humanity
 
In the twenty-first century
He is conducting war
As Attila the Hun did
Back in the year 444

 

Sunday, October 09, 2022

GOP CLOWN CAR

 

The Grand Old Party
Is barreling toward November eight
With a passel of candidates
Not all of whom are first rate
 
For example, there’s Oz in Pennsylvania
(Or is it New Jersey?)
Herschel in Georgia
And a collection of weirdos in Arizona
 
If come November
The GOP lands in clover
What would that say about America?
That maybe its time is over?

Saturday, October 08, 2022

WHITHER GOES THE ECONOMY?

 

Economists and commentators
Are pretty perplexed
How about inflation?
What’s the deal with unemployment?
Is a recession in the works?
Or maybe stagflation?
 
Those long-ago economics classes
Didn’t prepare us for this confusion
The future was supposed to be
Somewhat predictable
Not a murky illusion

Friday, October 07, 2022

NUKES

 

Putin’s backed himself into a corner
His “special military operation” is failing
The situation is so dire
That the nuclear trigger is calling
 
What’s holding Putin back?
It’s certainly not morality
He’s about as moral
As the proverbial cat in the alley
 
Will cooler heads prevail?
The last barrier to Putin
Going with a nuclear blast
Is probably within Russia itself
Are they up to the task?

Thursday, October 06, 2022

WEED

 

Biden just made a major move
That will drive the moral right bonkers
He pardoned thousands convicted
Of federal weed possession offenses
Thus insuring the support
Of hipster voters

Wednesday, October 05, 2022

PAPER TOWELS MISSING

 

Biden’s response to hurricanes
Leaves a crucial element untried
There’s no throwing rolls of paper towels
Which his predecessor did with great pride
 
The people of Puerto Rico
Were very appreciative
That the Orange Hoax helped them
In a manner so creative
 
Don’t waste time trying to restore
Destroyed infrastructure and residences
The President’s job is to entertain
Not to ameliorate unfortunate consequences

Tuesday, October 04, 2022

JUSTICE JACKSON HITS GROUND RUNNING

 

In her two days on the bench
New Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
Has participated exuberantly
In the verbal give and take action
 
Indeed, in her first two days
She’s showed more energy
Than Justice Clarence Thomas did
In his first two decades of lethargy
 
She’s off and running
Leaving the grumpy conservative majority
Wondering, muttering, and sputtering
As they grapple with a new reality

Monday, October 03, 2022

PENNSYLVANIA SCHOOLS

 

Wow, pole dancing and pornography
At schools in Pennsylvania!?
Where does one enroll
To participate in this curricula?
 
Gubernatorial candidate
Douglas Vincent Mastriano
Revealed these attractions
During a campaign show
 
Three cheers for the Keystone State
It has always seemed so prudish
But now we know
That reputation is rubbish

Sunday, October 02, 2022

HOAX REACHES NEW LOW

 

Judged by his increasing
Online vituperation
The Orange Hoax is concerned about
Falling public attention
 
Weather and the panicking Russian Bear
Have taken center stage
Pushing the Hoax
Off the front page
 
So he lashed out
Describing Mitch McConnell
As having a “DEATH WISH”
And disparaging Mitch’s wife
With racist gibberish

Saturday, October 01, 2022

JUSTICE ALITO LECTURES

 

Supreme Court Justice
Samuel A. Alito
Is coming across
As a judicial bozo
 
In a WSJ op-ed
He said criticism of the Court
Was OK, but only a little way
Then it becomes not OK
But where the divide is
He didn’t really say
 
Reading between the lines
A conclusion might be
Alito’s boundary is between
The three Justices on the left
And the five in the conservative majority

Friday, September 30, 2022

THANKS TO THE ALMIGHTY

 

Thank you for sparing the Orange Hoax
Who was hold up in Mar-a-Lago
As Ian roared ashore
For its devastating show
 
The Hoax was very brave
To frontally face nature’s invasion
Oh, and he also temporarily avoided
A legal deposition

Thursday, September 29, 2022

JUDGE SHELTERS THE HOAX

 

The Orange Hoax’s judge
Aileen Cannon, the Honorable
Rendered the Special Master’s job
Virtually impossible
 
On Thursday she picked apart
The Special Master’s approach
To accomplish the task
Of investigating the Hoax
 
In law school she must have missed
The class on judicial responsibilities
And how judges are supposed to be
Impartial authorities

Wednesday, September 28, 2022

CAT 4


What can put Ukraine, Putin, politics,
MAGAs, conspiracy drivel, and the Orange Hoax
Off the front page?
A Cat 4 hurricane
Roaring onto the stage

Tuesday, September 27, 2022

LOOSE CANNON

 

Putin is a loose cannon
Nothing’s going right
He’s stepped into deep do-do
And threatens a nuclear strike
 
A wounded egomaniac
Is a real danger
Unfortunately, America has its own
Narcissistic dead-ender

Monday, September 26, 2022

RUSSIAN EMIGRANTS AND RON

 

Russia is depopulating
As potential conscripts head for the door
Maybe Ron DeSantis
Can guide them to a New England shore
 
Hey Ron, how many laws
Did you break
With your little prank
that caused many a headache?

Sunday, September 25, 2022

PUTIN NEEDS MERCENARIES

 

His own countrymen don’t want to fight
His war of genocide
Thus Putin could use some mercenaries
To turn the tide
 
So if you desire a little adventure
And have no moral scruples
Head over to Moscow
And earn yourself some rubles

Saturday, September 24, 2022

RIGHTS VS RESPONSIBILITIES

 

Many citizens are quick
To identify their rights
From the right to bear arms
To the right to utter absurdities
To the right to scarf lucky charms
 
But what isn’t heard much about
Are the responsibilities of citizenship
And toward our fellow citizens
Indeed, admitting to responsibilities
Often results in a label of wimp

Friday, September 23, 2022

THE HOAX HAD A BAD WEEK

 

Bad week for the Orange Hoax
Loss in the 11th Circuit
Major lawsuit by the AG of New York
But not to worry
2024 will be a lark
 
MAGAs are looking to get even
For the way they and the Hoax
Have been dissed and mistreated
No one much likes either of them
So they’re really irritated
 
In the upcoming November elections
Much will be revealed
Will MAGAs emerge strong
Or will their hides be peeled?

Thursday, September 22, 2022

HIS MENTAL WORLD

 

In his mental world the Orange Hoax
Declassifies documents instantly
Always speaks truthfully
Wins a second term for the Presidency
Files his taxes accurately
Has an outstanding score intellectually
Interacts with females only platonically
Is beloved by the majority
And is not deluded by fantasy

Wednesday, September 21, 2022

RUSSIA MOBILIZES, MEANWHILE

 

Putin’s calling up the reserves
Many Russians appear upset
But enough to rebel?
Remember, Russia doesn’t tolerate dissent
 
Meanwhile, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals
Has ruled for the DOJ
In its attempt to escape the shackles
Of Judge Cannon’s judicial overplay

Tuesday, September 20, 2022

PUT UP OR SHUT UP

 

In his first action
As the Trump-nominated Special Master
Judge Dearie demanded evidence
On the declassification matter
 
Otherwise, he considers the documents
Classified per mark
Now let’s get underway
This ain’t no walk in the park

Monday, September 19, 2022

WANNABE SENATOR VANCE

 

The Orange Hoax says J.D. Vance
Kissed the Hoax’s rear protuberance
Which JD apparently did
With great exuberance
 
Just what Ohio needs
A MAGA butt kisser
To represent the state
As a U.S. Senator

Sunday, September 18, 2022

WHO WAS THE WORST?

 

George Washington
Was President first
Of the total of 46
Who was the worst?
If you say the Orange Carnage
You wouldn’t be far off course
 
He rode the dark channels
Of the nation’s psyche
Into the Presidency
And responsibilities beyond his competency
 
His leadership skills were nonexistent
He governed really ineptly
He insisted that subordinates
Follow him blindly
And give him unconditional loyalty
 
When defeated for a second term
He refused to concede
To assuage his injured ego
He encouraged a mob to intercede

Saturday, September 17, 2022

EXPRESSING THANKS

 

Texas, Florida, and Arizona
Are generously sending migrants elsewhere
What should the three states be given
To acknowledge such loving care?
 
Other states might consider
Paroling their incarcerated south
To pursue rehabilitation
In a pleasant environment that is often
A vacation destination

Friday, September 16, 2022

NEED AN EMPLOYEE?


Governors DeSantis, Abbott, and Ducey
Are trying to alleviate
The nationwide need for workers
The Govs should be thanked by
The many struggling employers
 
So if your business is floundering
Because of lack of help
And you’re getting desperate
Give the Govs a yelp
 
A bus or plane load of migrants
Will soon be coming your way
To expand your workforce
And save the day 

Thursday, September 15, 2022

THE HYPERBOLIC ORANGE HOAX

 

“Nobody’s seen anything like this”
And similar hyperbole
Are favorite expressions of
The former White House resident
Who’s again a Presidential Wannabe
 
Such hyperbole is appropriate, however
To describe one unpleasant condition
Which was the Wannabe President’s prior
Chaotic Administration

Wednesday, September 14, 2022

RAIL STRIKE


The Orange Hoax, MAGA, insurrection
Covid, Ukraine, inflation
Need some more chaos?
Well, how about a rail strike
To throw the economy for a loss?

Tuesday, September 13, 2022

DOES RUSSIA HAVE A SOUL?

 

Does the Russian nation
Have a soul?
Or is Comrade Putin
In complete control?
 
Some recent events suggest
Russia is not a monolith
But it’s probably too early to predict
A major internal rift
 
Still it would be outstanding
If Putin ended up in jail
Or ridden out of town
On a painful rail

Monday, September 12, 2022

SNEAKING INTO DC

 

The Orange Hoax was spotted in DC
Business he says was why
But speculation is rampant
In any case, what he says
Is usually a lie
 
Meanwhile, Judge Cannon
Is likely regretting the mess
She created in trying to accommodate
The desires of the Orange Abscess


Sunday, September 11, 2022

BOOK BANNING

 

Let’s ban some books
MAGA crowds chant
They’re not MAGAs you say
Then why do they rant?
 
MAGAs are present-day contrarians
Successors to the ‘60s counter culture
Only unlike the MAGAs
The ‘60s crowd had
An iota of intelligence
And a wee bit of competence

Saturday, September 10, 2022

SPECIAL MASTER CONTINUED

 

This Special Master thing
Is getting much too complex
Few can discern
What happens next
 
Will Judge Cannon
Amend her weird instruction
That the DOJ cannot
Look at documents with a classification?
 
Who will she select
As the Special Master
A DOJ nominee
Or an Orange Hoax disaster?
 
And how about the time limit
Will the action be over soon
Or will we still be involved
At the next August moon?

Friday, September 09, 2022

MODERN WORLD INCOMPETENT

 

Are you among the few
Who don’t have a clue
As to how to tap your phone
To make it do?
 
Some folks were raised
In the tangible era
They know buttons and switches
Not waving at the air
 
Unfortunately, the world
Can’t cease “improving”
The next step is verbal
Human-machine communing

Thursday, September 08, 2022

DOJ CHALLENGES JUDGE

 

DOJ is appealing
Judge Cannon’s invitation to chaos
The Judge backed the Hoax’s effort
To throw justice under the bus
 
If the matter gets to
The Hoax’s Supreme Court
How successful might the appeal be?
Don’t count on an unbiased result
From Alito, Thomas, and company

Wednesday, September 07, 2022

SPECIAL MASTER ON THE WAY?

 

Wonder how the Hoax’s team
And the DOJ
Are coming with the recommendation
For a Special Master by Friday?
 
Maybe the DOJ
Is going to appeal
The weird ruling by the MAGA judge
That treated the Hoax’s request as real

Tuesday, September 06, 2022

THE HOAX’S REP

 

Judge Cannon has expressed concern about
The reputation of the Orange One
No need to worry, Judge
His rep is as fixed as the sun
 
The Hoax actually has two reps
For his worshippers
He’s the greatest thing since sliced bread
To most others
He’s an autocratic narcissistic buffoon
Who’s in way over his head
 
A Special Master’s actions
Are extremely unlikely
To alter either rep
Not even slightly

Monday, September 05, 2022

YOUR "ESCUTCHEON" OK?

 

Thanks, Judge Cannon
For prolonging the drama
Keeping the Hoax front and center
For a bit longer
 
On page ten of her ruling
The judge expressed concern
About the Hoax’s “escutcheon”
Which might be blotted
Without the Special Master option
 
But his “escutcheon” might already
Be blotted beyond repair
Let’s check with Melania
Who has probably seen it bare


Sunday, September 04, 2022

RANTING AND WHINING

 

In Pennsylvania on Saturday
In a two-hour tirade
Dripping with venom and vitriol
The Orange Crybaby dumped
On one and all
 
Joe Biden, Mark Zuckerberg
The FBI, the DOJ
Democrats in general
All were in play
 
If the next President is determined
By who rants and whines the best
Then the Orange Crybaby is
Head and shoulders above all the rest

Saturday, September 03, 2022

ELECTRIC CORD OF LIBERTY

 

In his “prebuttal” to
President Biden’s Sept 1 oratory
Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy
Spoke of the “Electric Cord of Liberty”
 
Pardon my French
But what the hell is that?
Makes one think of a cord
Chewed through by a now-fried cat

Friday, September 02, 2022

TEAM MAGA BENEFITS

 

The Orange Hoax says
He’s financially supporting insurrectionists
Where does one sign up
For these Team MAGA benefits
From the Orange Philanthropist?

Thursday, September 01, 2022

JOE AND KEVIN

 

Joe and Kevin spoke to the nation
Kevin went first with a boring lecture
Misrepresenting the Orange Hoax’s
Legacy of failure
 
Then Joe went to work
With a frontal assault
On the Orange Hoax
And his MAGA cohort
 
In the long term Joe’s strategy
Of separating MAGAs from the GOP
Might result initially in Dems on top
Until Republicans can clean house
And return to the conservative shop
