SOCIAL MEDIA TITANS SQUIRM

 

In a Senate hearing
Social media titans received a tongue lashing
Senators said they were getting rich
While many of the nation’s youth were falling
Into the social media ditch
 
Mark Zuckerberg managed an apology
Seemingly somewhat begrudgingly
Not like back in 2004, eh Zuck?
When your creation Facebook
Was hailed as the inauguration
Of a bright new era of social affirmation

OVERHEARD IN HOUSE GOP CAUCUS

 

Let’s impeach somebody
Great idea! But who?
Maybe the border guy
With the funny moniker
Yeah, that would appeal to the MAGA zoo
And the Orange Huckster
 
Meanwhile, Elon Musk
Planted a brain chip in a human
Just what we need
Elon turning us into
Remote controlled vermin

NOT HIGH SCHOOL CIVICS

 

The Orange Huckster said
No border legislation
House Speaker Johnson
Rose to the occasion
The Senate will not have
The House’s participation
To enact measures needed
For better implementation
Of measures controlling
massive immigration
so much for the quaint notion
from high school civics class
of what’s best for the nation

NINE MONTHS TO GO

 

Over nine months until
The November election
And with the two candidates mostly chosen
This may be the longest campaign season
Since the world was frozen
 
Of course, with nine months to go
A lot can change
Particularly when the two likely candidates
Flirt with the limits of cognitive range

GOP CONFUSING ITSELF

 

The border issue is emerging
As a paramount matter
Thanks to the GOP takeover
By the chaos of the Orange Huckster
 
Responsible Republican Senators
Appeared ready for a bi-partisan examination
Of border security problems
And their long-term ramification
 
But the Huckster intervened
To prevent bi-partisan action
That might reduce
His chance for election
In other words
Huckster comes before
The welfare of the nation

EIGHTY-THREE MILLION

 

Eighty-three million dollars
Is what the Orange Huckster owes
In the opinion of a New York jury
For continuing to make
Statements very defamatory
 
Meanwhile, the Huckster
Has changed the GOP’s position
On border security
No longer is it a problem requiring
Immediate government action
But a political issue to be kept pending
To aid the Huckster’s election
 
The Huckster instructed
Mike Johnson, the House Speaker
“Don’t solve the problem now
I may need it if
The election is a squeaker”
Mike replied, “Yessa Boss,
You’re my Supreme Leader”

GOP FOR OPEN BORDERS

 

At the behest of
The Odious Orange Huckster
The GOP is poised for a one-eighty
Abandoning tighter border control
For a let’em in policy
Criminals, deviants, commie spies
The GOP welcomes the diversity
 
Meanwhile, want to assure
Permanent MAGA membership disqualification?
Then send Nikki Haley
A campaign donation
And the Huckster says he will register your name
In the forever banned classification

HUCKSTER LEGAL STAR

 

Alina Habba
The Orange Huckster’s hottie attorney
Had the defamation trial delayed
Because she was feeling poorly
Not poorly enough, however
To miss the Huckster’s victory party
 
Speaking of which, the Huckster
Was not as happy as he should be
He resents Nikki
For not kowtowing to his victory
 
Meanwhile,
Republicans in Congress
Are holding up aid to Ukraine
Apparently to support
Putin’s world domination game

PAINFUL

 

Early evening:
Done viewing the very early returns
Watching CNN and MSNBC
Is akin to being spectators
To a particularly painful colonoscopy
 
Best to check back later
After real counts are in
And forego John King’s meandering
Through the numerical din
 
Later:
Looks like the Orange Huckster
Has won as expected
But he’s plenty peeved at Nikki
Who has not yet exited
 
Having her around for awhile
Might be good for the nation
Maybe it will speed up
The Huckster's mental deterioration

ANOTHER TARGET FOR THE HUCKSTER

 

The Orange Huckster has inserted himself
Into the matter of border security
Congress is having enough difficulties
Finding a suitable solution
The Huckster’s kibbitzing is only
Adding to the confusion
 
But his MAGA followers
Enjoy his confrontation
With the forces of rationality
A thought process they view
With deep hostility

RON IS DONE

 

Ron’s calling it quits
Suspending his campaign
Endorsing the Orange Huckster
Maybe hoping for VP fame?
 
Don’t count on it, Ron
He’s probably forgotten your name
You’re aware, aren’t you
Of his deteriorating brain?
 
Or maybe that’s your strategy
Democrat or Republican
Whichever codger wins the Presidency in ‘04
Their VP has a good chance of ending up
Behind the Oval Office door

COGNITIVE DECLINE

 

According to the Orange Huckster
Nikki Haley was responsible
For not securing the Capitol
During the Jan 6 anti-democracy rumble
 
But he was thinking
Of Nancy Pelosi
He gets his women confused
More so as he loses his mental acuity
 
The next thing you know
Stormy Daniels will morph into Melania
Who will become E. Jean Carroll
Then Tiffany and finally Ivanka

HANKY-PANKY NIGHT IN GEORGIA

So much for the rainy night in Georgia
Now there are allegations of Hanky-Panky
Between prosecuting attorneys
Which may result in delayed
Or cancelled prosecution
And the Orange Huckster winning
The Presidential election

BUDGET REPRIEVE (TEMPORARILY)

 

Dems in the House
Joined with rational members of the GOP
To help Speaker Mike Johnson
Thwart a MAGA victory party
 
The MAGAs want chaos
Want the nation floundering
Want the government closing
Want the Orange Huckster
With his drama never ending

BORN IN REBELLION

 

America was born in rebellion
And the gene is still strong
Being against almost anything
Is the category describing
Where many citizens belong
 
Slavery was the ultimate cause
Of the Civil War
But the immediate trigger was
The Southern States’ expectation
They would be told slavery no more
Hence they rebelled
Against their own nation

IOWA CAUCUS CURSE

 

The Iowa caucus curse
Provides a glimmer of hope
For a nation facing the possible return
Of the Odious Orange dope
 
Before the Orange Huckster
The last three Iowa GOP winners
Ted Cruz ‘16
Rick Santorum ‘12
Mike Huckabee ‘08
Ultimately were not the GOP nominee
For the White House residency

IOWA EVANGELICALS BLESS THE HUCKSTER

 

In Iowa as expected
The Orange Huckster grabbed the pole
Can he do the same in a state
That Evangelicals don’t control?

MAYBE FINALLY, SOME REAL NUMBERS

 

In a few hours
The Iowa Caucuses will be history
Will the Orange Huckster
Be celebrating victory?
 
Marco Rubio has endorsed
The Odious Orange Huckster
Who once called him “Little Marco”
Hey, Little Marco
Ain’t you got no pride?
You’re endorsing the clown
Who dissed your sorry hide

NIKKI ON THE ATTACK

 

Haley called DeSantis
A “suck up” to the Orange Huckster
Wow, Nikki girl
You’re dimming Ron’s already dim luster
 
Meanwhile in the Middle East
Joe is piling on
The Houthis in Yemen
He wants them gone
 
He’s also calling for
Major changes on the border
Trying to establish
Law and serious order
And hoping to snatch the issue
From the Republicans’ larder

MAYBE DEMS TO THE RESCUE?

 

Here’s betting that the votes of Dems
Will be needed by Mike Johnson in the House
To keep the government operating
Too many House Republicans
Are occupied with agitating, baiting
Aggravating, complicating, and aggrandizing
