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.

How I wish we had some way to halt
Donald’s evil, persistent assault
On our land. But alas,
No one reins in that ass:
Ev’ry day spawns a new “Oy, Gevalt!”

Chicken Little spread fear day and night
With her tales of a sky-falling blight.
Her “catastrophe” spew
Caused a panic, undue.
(Chicken Little, these days, would be right.)

Is “potential” a positive word?
I once thought so, but now I feel spurred
To consider the fact,
That with each evil act
Trump’s destructive potential’s bestirred.

Dear Trump: Your behavior’s depraved!
You act as if all laws are waived,
Freeing you to engage
In a flag-waving rage
And wreak all of the havoc you’ve craved.

Though it feels like our nation’s degraded,
Don’t give up! Please try NOT to be jaded.
Our great battle’s not lost!
We must fight at all cost!
TACO Trump should in hell be paraded!

A fractured nation
controlled by foul maniac;
Trump’s evil, unchecked.
A fractured nation
overtaken by evil,
as Putin’s Trump reigns.
A fractured nation
victimized by Trumpy myths
and cowardly pols.
A fractured nation–
Endangered Constitution–
The courts our last hope.

I used to be able to write funny limericks. But these days, most of them are serious and depressing. This excellent Karen Tumulty column largely inspired this one:
An Executive Branch run amok!
Sen. “Advice and Consent?” No such luck!
Our Democracy’s hacked
And our nation’s soul’s cracked.
So what else can one say except FUCK!?!

“Tell me Sir, what’s your best resolution?”
Getting vengeance with each prosecution!
Also closing the borders,
Undoing Joe’s orders,
And trashing the damn Constitution!
Then there’s placing high tariffs galore
To give nations a giant what-for,
Getting rid of non-whites
And that dumb Bill of Rights,
Plus I’ll dump X-man Musk. What a bore!

A creative critique of Trump/Vance
Is they’re “weird” which, while true at a glance,
Is the least of their sins.
We must ward off their wins!
If we don’t, freedom won’t stand a chance.

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?)

Headline: “Senate Democrats Sue to Block Whitaker Appointment”
Will a judge block Matt Whitaker’s rise
To Acting A.G.? I surmise
His appointment’s unlawful–
Unspeakably awful…
But just fine in Trump-bootlicker eyes.

Headline: “Trump Bashes Paul Ryan Over Birthright Citizenship”
The Donald is having a fight
With Paul Ryan, and Ryan is right.
I’m in need of a breather;
Agreeing with either
Is painfully draining. Good night!

Donald Trump’s been rebuked once again:
For the second time in two months, two federal judges on Wednesday refused to allow President Trump to impose a travel ban, citing his campaign rhetoric as evidence of an improper desire to prevent Muslims from entering the United States.
Remember when GOP chatter
Taunted Dems with the sentence: “Words matter!”?
Yet it’s rare that they balk
At the Donald’s loose talk…
Which has flattened his bans with a clatter.

Guess who just got preliminary approval for 38 new trademarks in China — applications green-lighted with unusual speed, according to a Hong Kong intellectual property consultant.
Chinese trademarks that Donald has sought
Were approved. Seems high office has bought
Trump the branding he’s seeking–
Emolument-reeking!
But to cronies, alas, it means mean naught.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, formerly a Common Core enthusiast, now claims that the U.S. Education Department’s initiative is an Obama “power-grab.” He’s even suing the federal government, in an appeal to wingnutty Tenthers.
Ka-ching!
Sleazy To The Core (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Bobby Jindal has filed a fed suit
To get Common Core given the boot:
Obama, claims Bob,
Did a power-grab job:
A prez wannabe, raising some loot.

As the fight over Oklahoma’s ban on same-sex marriage heads to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, Colorado, Oklahoma Rep. Mike Turner (R-Edmond) is worried that gay marriage might prevail. And being desperate to combat the scourge of same-sex marriage, Turner has drafted a shell bill to use in case the case doesn’t go his way:
Mike’s Oklahoma “Solution” (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Mike Turner’s prevailed in his hunt
For an anti-same-sex marriage stunt.
If you’re gay or you’re straight
You can’t wed in his state,
Says his bill; Equal rights — Mike’s out front.
