Trump’s behavior is widely deplored.
Yet his wrongdoing’s largely ignored
By Republican pols
Who are vile wind-up dolls.
They’re the reason our nation’s unmoored.

Is there anything Donald can’t do?
Seems the Senate and House won’t say “Boo.”
And permissive Supremes
Keep fulfilling his dreams;
Willing allies in Donald Trump’s coup.

Donald’s Big Ugly Bill has been passed.
The calamitous die has been cast.
Enough holdouts caved in
To this national sin,
So the suff’ring to come shall be vast.

The Donald is flooding the zone
With horrors that none should condone.
But his party just cowers,
Supporting “Trump’s powers.”
No objections or gripes — not a groan!

The Republicans’ game is a mess.
Think they know what they’re doing? (God bless!)
At best, they are wreckers.
They’re NOT playing checkers.
And they’re certainly NOT playing chess!

Upon Elon’s command, Johnson’s bill
Was withdrawn. Seems it gives Musk a thrill
To rob Trump of his job.
And so (yessiree Bob!)
Trump and Johnson must swallow this pill.

The House GOP is a mess.
And it seems to be anyone’s guess
When they’ll fin’lly elect
A new Speaker. They’re wrecked!
Is it glee you detect? Oh my, yes!

And heated arm-twisting awaits.

By now, you’ve surely heard about Lauren Boebert’s Beetlejuice “performance.” Here’s an entertaining column about Boebert somehow managing to outdo herself in the indecency department.
And here’s my latest limerick:
“Pious” Boebert’s well-known for her rudeness,
Even crudeness (though surely not shrewdness.)
Her vulgar display
At a play made my day:
An infamous “born-again” lewdness.

Dear Kevin, a Speaker must lead
And inspire; not meekly accede
To demands from a few
Nihilist loons. You shall rue
Selling out to a crew with no creed.

And the time to take action is here.

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.

According to WP’s Robert Costa, Matt Gaetz says McCarthy must either “withdraw from the race,” or commit to a “straitjacket” agreement.
Come to think of it, straitjackets sound like a great idea for most of the House Republicans!
*****
As self-centered loons
impede race to be Speaker,
insanity reigns.
*****
This haiku, I swear,
is my last McCarthy verse
until tomorrow.
*****
Way too many pols
in Republican Party
naught but Pied Pipers.
*****
“Concession-Kevin”
becomes just-pretend Speaker.
Pyrrhic victory.

Good riddance, Paul Ryan. Buh-bye,

And your life’s a big deficit lie!

Crazy-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.”

Most press coverage about the “cleaning the barn” two-year “budget deal,” negotiated by Boehner as he was handing off his Speaker gig to Paul Ryan, is unduly optimistic. It tends to lull us into thinking that the opportunity for House wingnuts to wreak havoc has been largely eliminated for a substantial period of time.
But that really isn’t true. Why not? Because, generally speaking, there are three broad opportunities for Tea Party types to threaten or cause shutdowns.
1: Budget bills.
2: Debt ceiling crises.
3: Appropriation bills.
And, alas, only the first two items on that list were resolved, leaving ample opportunities for essential appropriation bills to be saddled with unacceptable riders. For instance, riders eliminating Obamacare or defunding Planned Parenthood, to name just two. In other words:
Right-wing Republicans can still pursue their goals through riders on appropriations bills—and, if they don’t get their way, shut down the government.
With Ryan as Speaker, don’t think
That we aren’t stuck right on the brink
Of Tea Party trouble.
It still can cause rubble
Through spending bills yet to gain ink.
The fact that the budget’s resolved
And the ceiling on debt ain’t involved,
Should not make you relieved.
If you are, you’re deceived,
Cuz the poison pill risk isn’t solved.
The House must appropriate cash,
Via bills which the wingnuts can trash
Through riders from guys
With Tea Party ties,
Turning programs we need into ash.
If that happens, then what can be done?
Only vetoes, and those aren’t fun.
But the blackmailing Hill
Can’t prevail on such bill!
Are there any good choices? Nay! None.

That GOP slug-fest of jeering
Was a stamina-trial of a hearing,
For the GOP goal
Was to rattle and roll
HRC. But instead? Pro-Hill cheering.
And for those thinking Clinton’s too old
To be prez, they need only behold
The results of that test
Of endurance — she’d best
Hill’ry’s juniors — Olympian gold!
