№ 618: Liberal Incivility (or having it both ways)

HERE AND NOW AND THEN, June 16

Hypocritical liberals have been known to neglect
one aspect of knee-jerk political correctness.

When they mention the president they get a thrill
pointing to proofs he’s mentally ill.
They do not feel (at all) ill at ease
speaking of his disabilities
his movements arthritic, his brain syphilitic,
his need for treatment psychoanalytic.
(Unfair. Though true. Still, I say, too critical.)

Sarah Sanders, they smirk, dresses sloppy
while providing FAKE media hilarious copy.
Kellyanne’s cool chick look they ridicule shrilly,
insisting she's too old and looks awfully silly!
Which, I must say, is simply mean.
Though she’s 52, she looks like a teen
smartly dressed up as a Trump hotel tart.
(Except for the wrinkles, she could play the part.)

They love how Mnuchin is such a goof
and Pence’s Puritanism is easy to spoof.
And poor Wilbur Ross, who they love to scold.
If only because he’s stupid and old.
Her Highness Ivanka and Eric and DJ
on late night TV are constantly harried.
(To say nothing of Jared — unrelated
by blood, he's merely married.)

Desist, I say, all you sniveling Liberals.
Try to be nice. Try to be civil.
Turn your cheek and be meek when Donald attacks.
Do not mind him. Be kind. Do not hit back.
Whatever we do, he'll continue amiss,
while I with my quill will write rhymes like this.

№ 392: Forwards Runs Senescence Until Reveals The Mind

The Trumpublican Party now and forever —
no man-made activities affecting the weather! —
will proclaim always “America First”
come hell (in TIME) or high water 
from glaciers and cloudbursts.
It's only fair to pollute the air
if it results in a profit.
As to the water —
have you seen my daughter? —
I drink Diet Coke. I do not care.

I love the flag
and I love coal.
I have to brag
I'm not growing old.
I LOVE Viagra.
I don't need a soul.
Souls make no sense.
Just look at Pence!

There was NO COLLUSION! —
lock her up, lock her up.
Funny name, Mnuchin.
Yo', bro, wassup?
Us billionaires 
are fixed for life.
(Guy looks like that,
with such a hot wife?)

Glad Ryan's retirin'.
You would be, too.
Last thing I need:
a three-percent Jew.
Jared, Ivanka?
I know, I know.
I think they do it
bigly for show.
My Evangelicals?
We'll see, we'll see.
What good is God 
when you're got me?

No. 321: All Hands In The Till Until (the outing of Otting)

REUTERS

Exclusive: Trump's bank watchdog bought financial stocks up until taking office

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump’s nominee [Joseph Otting] for Wall Street regulator Comptroller of the Currency bought financial stocks until he took office in November. . .

“Nominees are supposed to shed investments before they take office, not gamble on stocks until the last moment,” said Richard Painter, who served as ethics adviser to President George W. Bush. “If I were handling this, I would have pulled the nomination.”

A former career banker and close associate of U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Otting is one of several Trump appointees whose ties to industries they regulate have raised questions about their ability to be impartial when enforcing rules.

With a fox in charge of our hen house,
we cannot pretend we're surprised
when the fox feasts on our chickens.
What else would we have surmised?

No. CLXIII.i: EXTRA! Kamikaze (Calm Or Crazy)

hit on a solution
to control demented
incompetent president
form a suicide pact
so he dare not attack.
If he goes after one,
the other two run.
A three person NATO
against head of state.

Crazy, but could it work?
Given the moron's a jerk,
They are but three,
not a majority.

The cabinet would have to decide
that time has arrived to choose sides.
Country or mad man?
Duty or bad man?
Provoked,
they'd invoke
Amendment 25
dump the mess
on Congress
as the relevant section provides.

Yes, that’s a joke.
Congress would choke
if they had to act.
And that’s a fact.

Report status.
Mnuchin?
Tillerson?
Mattis?
