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?)

Was it Schumer who caved? Was it Mitch?
These debt ceiling fights are a bitch,
And they never make sense.
Yes our debt is immense,
But to spurn obligations? That’s rich!

Headline: “McConnell says he’s ‘100%’ focused on stopping Biden admin”
Mitch McConnell has one loathsome goal:
It’s to block Joseph Biden; the hole
In his soul’s been exposed,
Mitch’s mind’s long been closed;
V. Obama, he played the same role.

The threats from McConnell are worth
Very little, excepting some mirth.
He’ll tie up the work
Of the Senate? That jerk
Has blocked bills from the birth of the earth.

My latest limerick was inspired by a recent Mike Pence op-ed in The Daily Signal. Here’s how he begins: “After an election marked by significant voting irregularities and numerous instances of officials setting aside state election law, I share the concerns of millions of Americans about the integrity of the 2020 election.”
Dear Mike Pence, I am forced to surmise
That you haven’t stopped backing Trump’s lies.
He endangered your life!
Yet your statements are rife
With Trump myths. That’s bizarre and unwise.

GOPers are weary and sick
Of defending that scurrilous Dick.
Yet they’re loath to abort
Their debased Trump support.
Are they cowards, or frauds? Take your pick!

Mitch is trying to have it both ways:
First he joins in the “Don’t Convict!” nays.
Then he spouts a critique
Of Trump’s actions, with pique.
For hypocrisy (rank!) he wants praise?

Mitch McConnell should show some contrition
For his way overdue recognition
That the winner is Joe;
This delay helped Trump sow
Mass suspicion and threats of sedition.

Headline: “Trump drags down GOP senators, giving Democrats more paths to the majority”
Mitch McConnell and Co bet it all
On the Donald, but in the long haul,
Having pinned hopes and dreams
For their vile, evil schemes
On that crook, they are bound for a fall.

Headline: “Trump Is Taking Down Names as Republicans Begin Jumping Ship on His ‘Totally Off the Rails’ Campaign”
Donald Trump has been taking down names
Of Republican pols whom he blames
For their last minute swipes
And anti-Trump gripes:
No more favors from Trump, he proclaims.

“Toobin: McConnell engaging in ‘greatest act of hypocrisy in American political history’ with Ginsburg replacement vote”
I despise all the brazen hypocrisy
From Republican pols. Seems democracy
Has been callously cast
Aside. I’m aghast
At their theo-and-corpora-tocracy.

I’m too sad to write humorous verse;
Things have gone from horrendous to worse.
R. I. P. RBG!
You’ll be much missed by me,
As I watch Mitch McConnell and curse.

“New documents show why the president has been trying to hide evidence from Congress.”
New proof’s in the public domain,
Which may prove to be Donald Trump’s bane.
So though Nancy’s demand
Was not met, those who’ve panned
Her may rue this large evidence gain.

Hill Headline: “McConnell has the votes to block Democrats’ witness demands in Trump impeachment trial”
Donald Trump’s taken actions illicit,
But Republicans scoff and dismiss it
As perfectly fine
While they toe Mitch’s line…
And that makes them corruptly complicit.

Headline: “A very annoyed Mitch McConnell would like everyone to stop calling him ‘Moscow Mitch'”
When the name “Moscow Mitch” is deployed,
Mitch McConnell is vexed and annoyed:
It’s “not fair” — not a keeper.
(He’s fine with “Grim Reaper.”)
Where his conscience should be, there’s a void.

Some stories cry out for a limerick:
“The hashtag #MoscowMitchMcTreason began trending on Twitter Tuesday morning after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) fired back against the nickname ‘Moscow Mitch’ in a fiery speech from the Senate floor.
“MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, a former GOP lawmaker, dubbed McConnell ‘Moscow Mitch’ after McConnell on Friday blocked two election security measures.”
Mitch McConnell’s new name makes him twitch
And complain; he’s been dubbed “Moscow Mitch.”
I’m surprised that he’s peeved
And not rather relieved;
Trump’s received the much worse “Putin’s Bitch.”

“Members of President Trump’s inner circle are frustrated that the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee subpoenaed Donald Trump Jr.,” according to CNN.
It’s over and done, so “case closed,”
Says McConnell, yet Burr has imposed
A subpoena on one
Of Trump’s sons. (NOT so done!)
Here’s hoping Don Jr. is hosed.

The GOP’s whining. They’re mad!
What a “sore winner” streak they have had!
They’re “the victims,” they wail
With an “angry mob” tale.
We were “mean” to their dissolute cad!

Republican pols like to claim
They believe an accuser; their aim
Being sympathy feigned,
Which quickly is drained
By their “victim’s confused; wrong guy” game.

Brett’s “forceful denials” to smite
Sundry claims as untrue.
But since when do a few
