No. C: Mitch The Glitch

McConnell & Company

don't like democracy.
True patriarchs,

they prefer oligarchs.

The weak and poor
hold no allure.

(And furthermore,

we reek of manure.)

No. XLVIX: Quo Vadis?

POTUS with SCOTUS

is out to demote U.S.

to the status of a failed state.

All but Trump doters

hope enough voters

wake up before it's too late.

Congress in session

is mostly digression

from problems at hand.

Congress in recess

is an abscess,

heads buried deep in the sand.

Three government branches...

What are the chances

one of 'em will not come through?

POTUS/SCOTUS? No way!

The Congress? Oy vay!

I am not optimistic. Are you?

No. XCVIII: Senate "Health" Bill

Fire at will

at each GOP shill
for McConnell's health,

uh, moneyed-class wealth bill.

They thought they were good,

these reverse Robin Hoods:

rob the poor, feed the rich —

I mean...son of a bitch!

Can we blame 'em for tryin'

t' outdo lyin' Ryan

that blue-eyed can't-doer

with ideas daily fewer?

To be fair,

in the GOP lair

don't make no diff:

Obamacare, Trumpcare, 

Medicaid, Medicare

are in the same skiff

they would set adrift.

Whenever the GOP

gets law-making itch

all they do

is empower the rich.

Who, in turn,

provide money to burn

for re-election

of this protection.

In their income bracket

don't call this a racket.

That goes too far.
It is heaven's decree.

Things as they are.
Things as they should be.

No. XCVII: Trump v. "Illegals"

Diff #1 'twixt Trump and "illegals"? Fact is
they do and he doesn't pay income taxes.

Diff #2 'twixt Trump and "illegals"? They're shrewd.
They do and he doesn't provide our food.

Diff #3 'twixt Trump and "illegals"? Corruption?
It's him, not them allatime filin' bankruption.

Diff #4 'twixt Trump and "illegals"? Sex offender?
At the tic tac tip-top of Donnie's agenda.

So's it yer lookin' fer summun t' exclude
I nominate overweight queer-haired orange dude.

No. XCVI: GOP MCMLXXXIV for 2017

In order to make America great
first you dismantle the welfare state,
ending forever the healthcare debate.
(If you get sick it's something you ate.)

Pass one-percenter total rebate.
Parenthood planners? Show 'em the gate.
We'll make it legal if you want to hate,
and tell you exactly with whom you can mate.

All things unAmerican: Extirpate!
All immigration: Eliminate!
Democrats with the devil equate
and ban Liberal do-gooders who self-flagellate.

Third-rate dictators? Ingratiate!
Outlaw jokes about Donnie's pate.
Accomplishments? EXAGGERATE,
while destroying the planet. A spheroid. Oblate.

Our carnal desires we will totally sate,
as we extrapolate "facts" (read mutilate)
to manipulate voters in every red state.
Who gets to vote...we will evaluate.

No point to bother or agitate
if World War Three we initiate.
When Iran and Korea we incinerate, the dollar may greatly deflate or inflate.

You cannot stop us. No way to abate
our need to everywhere dominate
and give ourselves thumbs up, congratulate.
(The one thing we can't do is legislate*.)

Your objections, of course, we anticipate.
You want something different? Oh. Sorry. Too late.
Those not with us we leave to their fate.
If you don't like it...go self-copulate.
