The Donald is meaner than mean.
His venom is base and obscene.
He’s perniciously vicious
And cruelly seditious…
Wreaking havoc while venting his spleen.

Meaner Than Mean (Limerick)
Thursday, March 28th, 2019The Press Messes Up Yet Again (Limerick)
Thursday, March 28th, 2019Eric Boehlert on Twitter: “the press is now doing postmortems on the Mueller Report, which they haven’t read.”
Dear press, do not do a postmortem
On the Mueller Report. Please abort ’em.
It’s unseen and unread,
So you can’t put to bed
Or assess it. Don’t write or report ’em.
DC’s TMZ’d (Limerick)
Thursday, March 21st, 2019Headline: “Trump Brought TMZ Politics to Washington”
When Trump went from prez-nominee
To our president, most hoped he’d be
A new man; changed, matured
By the job he’d secured.
But it’s Donald who’s altered DC.
GOP Still Stooping To Trump’s Level (Limerick)
Thursday, March 21st, 2019Donald’s John McCain smears are obscene,
And pettiness spews from his spleen.
Yet few GOPers
Denounce him, as fleers
From decency sink to his mean.
The Ultimate Diss (Limerick)
Tuesday, March 12th, 2019CNN Headline: “Nancy Pelosi: ‘I’m not for impeachment,’ slams Trump as ‘not worth it'”
That diss! How did Nancy unearth it?
It’s the ultimate slam! Did she birth it?
Despite fervent beseeching,
She’s anti-impeaching.
Her reason? Trump just is “not worth it.”
Is Golf A Path To Fitness? (Limerick)
Sunday, March 10th, 2019You’ve decided it’s time to commit
To golfing. Your goal? Getting fit.
But is golf the right fix?
Take a look at Trump pics.
I suspect playing golf isn’t it.
Trump Dumps Yet Another Press Chief (Limerick)
Saturday, March 9th, 2019Headline: “Instead of a New Press Chief, Trump Could Try Committing Fewer Crimes”
Trump’s approach to bad press isn’t wise;
He blames staffers, replacing the guys
And the women whose quest
Is good press. I suggest
Cutting down on his crimes and his lies.
Open Limerick to the Flag-Humper-in-Chief
Tuesday, March 5th, 2019Joy Behar, on Trump at CPAC: “If he hugged that flag any closer he would have to pay it hush money.”
Dear Donald, when out on the stump
Please don’t lunge at our flag and then hump.
Such an act’s unbecoming
And vulgar — mind-numbing.
What’s your next flag-act? Taking a dump?
The Harasser-in-Chief Feels Harassed (Limerick)
Tuesday, March 5th, 2019Headline: “Trump accuses Nadler of harassment in wide-ranging probe”
Poor Donald is feeling harassed;
All he’s done in his crime-laden past
And as president’s being
Examined. We’re seeing
The House do its job at long last.
Trump at CPAC (Limerick)
Saturday, March 2nd, 2019Sub-headline: “In an epic two-hour speech, the president claims the Russia probes are ‘bullshit’ as he regaled a conservative crowd after his North Korea summit failure.”
At CPAC Trump ranted and raved;
In a two-hour speech he behaved
Like a fellow who’s filled
With self-pity and thrilled
With his wing-nutty forum depraved.
Astray (Limerick)
Saturday, February 23rd, 2019The Donald has led us astray
In ev’ry conceivable way.
Is there any path out
From under this lout?
Twenty-twenty is TOO far away!
Sundry National Emergency Humor
Tuesday, February 19th, 2019Donald Trump breaches
separation of powers–
Republicans shrug.
*****
How To Lose A Case:
1. Declare national emergency.
2. Say “I didn’t need to do this,” as your lawyers tear their remaining hair out.
3. Stand by for courts to agree that you, indeed, “didn’t need to do this.”
*****
Unpersuadable,
Impervious to the facts–
That’s Donald Trump’s base.
*****
Today, Lindsey Graham defended Trump’s unconstitutional “national emergency” declaration:
“Let’s just say for a moment that he took some money out of the military construction budget,” Graham said. “I would say it’s better for the middle-school kids in Kentucky to have a secure border. We’ll get them the school they need. But right now we’ve got a national emergency on our hands.
What’s next for Lindsey Graham? Any day now, we just might be hearing this:
“Let’s just say for a moment that the President executed Nancy Pelosi, the person most responsible for blocking his wall.
“Yes, that would be unfortunate. But I would say it’s better for middle-school kids and all Americans to have a secure border. We’ll get them the new House Speaker they need. But right now we’ve got a national emergency on our hands.”
*****
DONALD TRUMP: “We will have a national emergency and we will then be sued and they will sue us in the 9th circuit, even though it shouldn’t be there…”
Hey Donald, if you don’t want cases to go to the 9th Circuit, stop screwing California.

Trump’s Fake Emergency Power Grab (Limerick)
Friday, February 15th, 2019A fake crisis; Trump seizes more power,
As obsequious ass-kissers cower.
He raids Pentagon cash
And a FEMA funds stash,
And democracy dies by the hour.
The GOP Tax Scam (Limerick)
Monday, February 11th, 2019Headline: “Many Stunned to Get Smaller Tax Refunds”
As our warnings re tax cuts come true,
Donald’s base is beginning to rue
That tax plan they backed.
They were duped. It’s a fact;
Those “big refunds” are NOT coming through.
Trump v. Biden (Limerick)
Wednesday, February 6th, 2019Trump to anchors, as quoted by the New York Times’ Peter Baker:
When I say something that you might think is a gaffe, it’s on purpose; it’s not a gaffe. When Biden says something dumb, it’s because he’s dumb.
When you think I am making a gaffe,
It’s on purpose to make people laugh.
But Biden is dumb,
Which explains much or some
Of the lame things he says — at least half.
