Headline: “No escape: Senators to be quiet, unplugged for Trump trial”
Juror-Senators told to be quiet?
Might as well be commanded to diet.
Keeping mum ain’t their thing.
Self-restraint’s bound to sting.
(So will jail should they opt to defy it.)
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.
Trump’s submissive to Putin and meek.
He is craven and shockingly weak.
Donald’s bluster’s replaced
By behavior debased.
And his party’s response? Piddlin’ pique.
