No. CLXV.i: EXTRA!: 1984 (Again)


US President Donald Trump has deleted several tweets endorsing a candidate he backed in an Alabama election after he crashed to defeat on Tuesday.

There is no tellin'
just how Orwellian
Resident Lump is gonna act.
Erasing tweets
demonstrating defeats
does not hide the fact
that his choice was rejected
another selected,
who matter of fact's even worse.
Does this mean that the racists
who make up his bases
consider his blessing a curse?

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.

*Why should we led by he
who rules by decree.
(Boys and girls, can you say,
"Signing ceremony"?)
