Could it be they were only a dream?

Unconstitutional Stench of Whitaker Appointment (Limerick)

Monday, November 19th, 2018

To Acting A.G.? I surmise
His appointment’s unlawful–
Unspeakably awful…
But just fine in Trump-bootlicker eyes.

Limerick Ode to Truth-Decider Trump

Monday, November 19th, 2018

Headline: “Trump Suggests Only He Can Decide the Truth”

That’s just one of his lunatic views.

Any claim by a source
That makes Donald look bad is “fake news.”

Trump. v. Schiff (Limerick)

Monday, November 19th, 2018

Sundry vulgar, cheap hits,
Passing juvenile schtick off as wit.

But the Donald is planning to feign
Some warmth for the victims

Unless he’s a victim of rain.

To explain the Dem’s House seat additions.

The truth, blaming trends;
Not its actions and dreadful positions.

The election last week
Might account for his pique…

Sunday, November 4th, 2018

Headline: “There’s Plenty To Stress Over In The ‘Anxiety Election'”

Leave the house? That entails getting dressed!
Pre-Election Day tension;
Fear, anger, dissension!
I might just pull a “Baldwin.” Need rest!

Are exploiting our cultural fears,
Using tactics divisive
And vilely derisive;
Throwing decency out on its ears.

Agreeing with either
Is painfully draining. Good night!

Causation; blame Fed. (He’ll tweet-bark it.)

On a guess as to why

Thursday, October 25th, 2018

“As wave of attempted bombing continues, Trump chooses to blame the victims.”

Who’s to blame for the bombs that were sent
To kill people Trump loves to torment
Via Twitter and speeches?
The victims, Trump screeches.
The Divider-In-Chief must repent!

The Divider-In-Chief Speaks Out Against Division? (Limerick)

Wednesday, October 24th, 2018

“Trump calls for unity after explosive devices sent to prominent Democratic figures”

He stokes violence with cocky impunity.
So Trump’s just-pretend qualms
When Dems are sent bombs?
Just another PR opportunity!

Leading By Example (Limerick)

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2018

Headline: “Man Cites Trump After Groping Woman on Flight”

Blame his tariffs? Ha! Blame Fed instead!

*****

(After I posted the following limerick on Facebook, Ryan Zinke (under pressure from Democrats, reversed himself and pretended that he’d never even fired Mary Kendall.)

Ryan Zinke is Trump’s kinda guy;
The Interior’s leader says “Why
Should I let an I.G.
Investigate me?”
Then he fires her: Kendall, buh-bye!

Monday, October 15th, 2018

My nausea from her just won’t wania.

Kanye and Donald, The Looney-Tunes Twins

Friday, October 12th, 2018

Kanye West simply can not refrain
From ranting; he’s soft in the brain.
Why does Trump seem to treasure
That man beyond measure?
Kanye ALMOST makes Donald look sane.

Stealing Georgia? (Limerick)

Friday, October 12th, 2018

Kemp’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.
