Business Insider: 'The most humiliating experience in decades': Trump pushed Jeff Sessions to resign after Mueller appointment
Current and former administration officials told the [New York] Times that Trump accused Sessions of "disloyalty," called him an "idiot," and said his appointment as attorney general was the worst decision Trump had ever made, leaving Sessions, in the words of the Times, "ashen and emotional."
As with "kittens" he fondled,
Trump does what he does because...
he's The Donald.
When he anointed A.G.
Jefferson Beauregard Sessions
he expected that Jeff
would allow his transgressions.
When Jeff recused — did he grow a spine? —
Donald, of course, thought he should resign.
Rumor has it that
that night in bed
Donald frothed at the mouth
shouting, "Off with his head!
I'd not pick this
idiot for A.G. again!"
No room in this country
for these two old men?

No. CLV.ii: EXTRA! Shall I Compare Thee To A Chimpanzee?
Guardian: It's an alpha male thing: what dominant chimpanzees and Donald Trump have in common
In the wild and in captivity, chimpanzee colonies organize themselves into tightly structured hierarchies....The alpha leader dominates all others through tactics of threat, intimidation, bluffing, and outright aggression – and importantly, by forming short-term, pragmatic coalitions (let us call them “deals”) with other high-status males.
Disgusting!
Revolting!
Disgraceful
Insulting!
Comparing a pure, sweet innocent chimp
to this primitive, bloated, "hairy" blond blimp.
If I were a chimp you know what I'd do?
Call up my lawyer and tell him to sue.
I'd call on Jane Goodall to testify
we're nothing like this disgusting guy.
Though...from what we've seen,
believe me, it's true,
Donald does know
how to throw poo.

No. CLV.i: EXTRA! Courting Disaster Hereafter?
Business Insider: McConnell calls for ending Senate tradition that gives Democrats with leverage on Trump's judicial nominees
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday told The New York Times that he thinks the "blue slip" practice should be scrapped for circuit court nominations, a move that would eliminate Democrats' only leverage against President Donald Trump's picks to the nation's second-highest courts
GOP planned their
grand gerrymander
a bet they'd never be
ever again in the minority
as Scarlet said, "Fiddle-dee-dee"
where fiddling's concerned
I hear-tell Donald's learned
just a little
to bow and to fiddle
welcome "home"
to Nero's Rome

No. CLV: Whither History Withers
look
think
no one's to blame
when things are different
they're still the same
say Alexander
does not die young
specifics get different
shifting among
genes and names
languages change
constants however
do not rearrange
winners and losers
villains and heros
tea-totalers boozers
Robert De Niros
history still
will reach its "goal"
without me (or you)

No. CLIII: What Fate Awaits Us
after these months —
which seem like years —
it is clear Trump
is playing at Lear
(Lear as in Shakespeare
not as in Norman)...
on the horizon
hurricanes storm in
will Trump magic
turn comedy tragic
with Ryan-McConnell
as Regan and Goneril
his crowd, Cordelia,
miss-iled by Korea —
good daughter, bad daughters,
Trump, us — all slaughtered
the curtain descends
la commedia ends...
makes fatal sense
to President Pence —
aglow in the dark,
the remnant's monarch

No. CLII: Four Forlorn Four-liners
The national psyche
took a lump dump
with the election
of Donald Trump
Doomsday preppers,
given to brood,
would hate to waste
expiring canned food
Hurricanes, droughts
give rise to doubts
if "In God We Trust"
benefits us
If West Coast expires
in forest fires
it does not matter
if Trump retires

No. CLI: WEEKEND UPDATE Analysis — Trump On The Couch
[Note to our reader(s): due to a clerical error, a draft version of the following was posted on September 6, 2017 at 8:34 p.m EDT. When the error was discovered, the post was taken down. That version is no longer operative.]
to understand Donald fully
recall your childhood
the school yard bully
that obnoxious rich kid
son of a bitch kid
whose daddy shelled out
for the damage he did
due to these bail-outs
("waste of good money!"),
that son was rather
despised by the father
(who found this progeny
a bit of a bother)
being unable his daddy to please
left Donald a permanent sense of unease
made him a bully who
pouts, boasts and shouts,
"I AM what everything is all about!"
were this NOT a danger
it would be "so sad",
the poor little rich boy
who never pleased dad
