Donald Trump and his GOP peers
Are exploiting our cultural fears,
Using tactics divisive
And vilely derisive;
Throwing decency out on its ears.

GOP Indecency (Limerick)
Friday, November 2nd, 2018The Divider-In-Chief Speaks Out Against Division? (Limerick)
Wednesday, October 24th, 2018“Trump calls for unity after explosive devices sent to prominent Democratic figures”
Donald’s rallies encourage disunity.
He stokes violence with cocky impunity.
So Trump’s just-pretend qualms
When Dems are sent bombs?
Just another PR opportunity!
Stealing Georgia? (Limerick)
Friday, October 12th, 2018Kemp’s afraid that more Georgians might vote,
So he blocks them from regist’ring. Note,
He’s intent on defeating
Ms. Abrams by cheating
To keep his Gov prospects afloat.
Donald The Prognosticator (Limerick)
Wednesday, September 19th, 2018WP Headline: “Trump’s insistence on an upcoming ‘red wave’ could make a blue wave higher”
I enjoy watching Donald emote
About upcoming mid-terms; he’ll gloat
About wins and successes.
My hope and best guess is
His base will think “no need to vote!”
Trump Puts Press At Risk (Limerick)
Thursday, August 9th, 2018Headline: “Media boost security as Trump ramps up ‘enemy’ rhetoric”
When the media covers Trump rallies,
It’s as risky as ent’ring dark allies.
Donald’s shown us his cards,
So the press now needs guards
Due to menacing crowds and threat tallies.
The GOP’s “Blue Wave” Blues (Limerick)
Thursday, August 9th, 2018Headline: “4 signs of a blue wave from Election Day: Republicans should be running scared”
Most Republican leaders see Trump
As creating a GOP slump.
But not Donald! He’ll brag
And pretend the “Trump drag”
Is “fake news,” as our “blue wave” odds jump.
Russia Meddling Quatrain Duo
Friday, August 3rd, 2018Donald’s lawyer is rather a cut up,
Saying Mueller should “put up or shut up.”
While Rudy tells lies and lets loose,
Mueller quietly tightens the noose.
*****
Stop trying to peddle
the weasel-word “meddle.”
‘Twas a Russian attack,
so soft-ped’ling it’s whack.
*****
Trump Trumped By Leaks (Limerick)
Tuesday, May 15th, 2018Trump Tweet: “The so-called leaks coming out of the White House are a massive over exaggeration put out by the Fake News Media in order to make us look as bad as possible. With that being said, leakers are traitors and cowards, and we will find out who they are!”
Though he frequently rails about leaks,
When he ran Trump aired NO such critiques;
Once a WikiLeaks fan,
Now an anti-leak man.
He’s the target? Trump bellows and shrieks.
A Hairy Rick Saccone Theory (Limerick)
Wednesday, March 14th, 2018Crazy-sounding, but true:
Why did Rick Saccone’s run turned to ash?
Why’d his edge disappear in a flash?
Here’s my fav’rite absurd
Excuse that I’ve heard:
Rick Saccone “should have lost the mustache.”
From the Washington Examiner:
Frustrated by Saccone’s performance, some Republicans have gone so far as to zero in on his mustachioed appearance.
“It’s a porn stache,” said one Pennsylvania-based GOP strategist. “He should have lost the mustache.”
Mitch v. Mueller (Limerick)
Tuesday, January 30th, 2018One of today’s many annoying headlines: “McConnell Sees No Need to Protect Mueller From President Trump”
No need to shield Mueller, says Mitch.
No chance he’ll be tossed in a ditch.
Undermine him? You jest!
No one has such a quest!
And if something goes wrong? Life’s a bitch!
Trump v. Kelly (Limerick)
Thursday, January 18th, 2018Trump is mad at John Kelly. Here’s why:
Re the Donald’s campaign, he let fly
Quite a wall-vow affront;
It’s surprisingly blunt.
“Uninformed,” though, sounds better than “lie.”
Trump’s Now and Future Limericks
Tuesday, January 9th, 2018You probably know that Trump’s chimed in on the “Oprah presidential run” conversation. But did you also know that Trump’s already composed two Oprah limericks — one for this year and one for 2020?
Fortunately for my readers, I managed to get hold of the only copy:
Trump’s 2018 Limerick:
Though Oprah’s unlikely to run,
I’ll beat her and have lots of fun.
I know her real well
And I think that she’s swell,
But she’ll surely be YUUUGELY outdone.
Trump’s 2020 Limerick:
Dopey Oprah is sorry she ran.
Being prez is a job for a man.
And besides, it’s not clear
She was even born here.
She’s a mopey old flash in the pan.
More BS From Moore (Limerick)
Saturday, December 16th, 2017Headline: “Roy Moore: ‘Battle Is Not Over’ in Senate Race”
The battle’s not over, says Moore.
All your calls to concede, I’ll ignore
The election was flawed.
I’m sure there was fraud.
So send money. Keep funding my war.
Limerick Ode To Roy Moore Sycophant, Pastor Flip Benham
Tuesday, November 21st, 2017Headline: “Pastor Says Moore Dated Teenagers for Their ‘Purity’”
A flip pastor says Moore dated teens
For their “purity.” I don’t know beans
About biblical teaching,
But what sort of preaching
Overlooks what indecency means?
GOP Pols Only Have Themselves To Blame (Limerick)
Friday, November 17th, 2017PoliticalWire Headline: “The Conservative War on the Media Backfires”
Republican pols have been training
Their voters, through lie-packed complaining,
To reject any news
That might challenge their views–
A great aid to Moore’s Senate campaigning.
Who Ya Gonna Believe? (Limerick)
Saturday, November 11th, 2017Russia meddled, our experts maintain;
Our Democracy’s suffered a stain.
But Donald would rather
Buy Putin’s false blather;
Trump’s owned by Vlad’s hard driving reign.
A Limerick For New York’s Mayor
Monday, November 6th, 2017Bill de Blasio’s reign has been poor,
And I’m desp’rate to show him the door.
But the others are worse,
So it seems (with a curse)
I’ll vote “Bill,” but won’t say “Je l’adore.”
Going Nuclear To Sell Books (Limerick)
Saturday, November 4th, 2017I never liked Donna Brazile.
But she’s worse than I thought — just a shill
For her publisher, spurring
Divisiveness, blurring
The truth, hurting Dems, selling swill.
Trump’s Next Move (Limerick)
Tuesday, October 31st, 2017Is Mueller about to be canned?
Does Trump have a “massacre” planned?
Will Congress preempt
Any heinous attempt,
Leaving Donald verklempt and unmanned?
