“Trump 2028″ apparel is now on sale at the Trump Organization’s online store. Is he really planning an unconstitutional run for a third term? Or is this just another of Trump’s money-making cons?
Will the Donald attempt a third term?
It’s illegal, most experts confirm.
But a mere thing like laws
Rarely gives Donald pause.
So expect a 4th run from that worm!

Precious freedom, alas, is at stake!
Dire jeopardy! Each day we wake
To more headlines that scare us,
As Trump seems to dare us
To dodge each malevolent quake.

When I’m writing, I struggle to squeeze in
Lots of humor and wit and to season
All my poems with wordplay;
Perhaps absurd nerd-play.
I’ve failed? Donald’s treason’s the reason!

Though I try not to whine, moan, or mope,
I am finding it taxing to cope
With our nation’s ruination
And Donald’s castration
Of all who might lend us some hope.

A fractured nation
controlled by foul maniac;
Trump’s evil, unchecked.
A fractured nation
overtaken by evil,
as Putin’s Trump reigns.
A fractured nation
victimized by Trumpy myths
and cowardly pols.
A fractured nation–
Endangered Constitution–
The courts our last hope.

Headline: “Trump Keeps Floating A Possible Third Term”
Trump is eyeing a THIRD term. (Big Sigh!)
Is it likely that Donald will try?
Experts deem it illegal,
But Trump thinks he’s regal–
That there’s nothing his power can’t buy.

“Tell me Sir, what’s your best resolution?”
Getting vengeance with each prosecution!
Also closing the borders,
Undoing Joe’s orders,
And trashing the damn Constitution!
Then there’s placing high tariffs galore
To give nations a giant what-for,
Getting rid of non-whites
And that dumb Bill of Rights,
Plus I’ll dump X-man Musk. What a bore!

My latest 3-verse limerick was inspired by a CNN article that included this paragraph: “Roberts was shaken by the adverse public reaction to his decision affording Trump substantial immunity from criminal prosecution. His protestations that the case concerned the presidency, not Trump, held little currency.”
Poor John Roberts is in a deep funk;
His beloved court’s stature has shrunk.
And it’s largely his fault
For harsh rulings that halt
Basic rights. He’s a punk and a skunk.
About justice his court doesn’t care.
There’s no effort to ever be fair.
It treats stare decisis
Like trash. We’ve a crisis;
Sound rulings are brutally rare!
So if Roberts is sad, fine by me!
For the court must be changed. You agree?
Then be sure to vote Dem.
No more hawing. Don’t hem!
It’s the one way to stem the debris.

“Trump’s defense needs more time!” That’s the plea
From John Lauro, last week in DC.
But the judge should be tough,
Cuz oddly enough
John had time for “full Ginsburg” TV.

Though Donald’s the lowest of low,
His infamy slide’s been too slow.
But the courts are all humming,
And justice is coming;
Trump’s finally battling a pro.

Another indictment’s been filed,
And Donald’s both anxious and riled
And undoubtedly frightened.
The vise has been tightened,
And law shall prevail! (“Will be wild!”)

This confession will make me look mad,
But I simply can’t help being sad
That a debt deal is close,
Cuz it’s time for a dose
Of the 14th Amendment. (My bad?)

We the Dems must show full solidarity
To counter the loathsome barbarity
Of Republican stances,
Whose fright’ning advances
Account for this lack of hilarity.

A resolution
for GOPers to try:
Stop Being Such Dicks!
Nixing worthy laws
To preserve filibuster?
Hope for us busted.
Donald Trump invents
Conditional Endorsement:
“Avenge me, or else!”

Is Joe President?
That depends on who you ask.
Democracy weeps.
Right-wing Justices:
“When we like what the State does,
States’ Rights must prevail.”
If the unvaxxed die,
And allies don’t believe it,
Are they really dead?

Most Democrats are pleased that Harry Reid finally pulled the trigger on a filibuster rules change. Mitch McConnell? Not so much!
Open Limerick From Mitch McConnell To Harry Reid

Mitch to Harry: You’ll live to regret
The rule change you made. That’s a threat.
How dare you show fight!
Wreaking havoc’s our right.
Will we keep being evil? You bet!

Wow! When I wasn’t looking, President Obama apparently mugged the U.S. Supreme Court:
To the fainting couch! Obama attacked the Supreme Court and threatened it with a backlash, should it strike down his tyrannical scheme to impose a government takeover of health care on the nation!
That’s what many conservative writers and even some centrist ones are arguing. They are saying that Obama’s words about the Court yesterday were “unsettling” and a “witch-hunt,” and they’re likening them to F.D.R.’s efforts to pack the Court in retaliation for decisions striking down New Deal initiatives.
Please. If what Obama said yesterday is an “attack,” it’s pretty timid stuff indeed.
SCOTUS-Scolding Scandal? (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The very same wingnuts who blast
So-called “activist courts” are aghast
And are faulting Obama
With petulant drama:
“He’s attacking the Court,” they lambaste.
Seems those wingnut Supremes need a hug,
Cuz Obama’s a meanie and “thug.”
His complaint, although mild,
Is driving them wild.
Those guys are sure easy to bug.
