STARTING HERE STARTING NOW (December 8)

(with apologies to Phil Everly)

Such a cheater,

bottom feeder

Why can't you dump Trump?

Such a liar,

pants on fire

Why won't you dump Trump?

Is he even human?

Has he got a mind?

Orange-hued, hair askew,

he's all pulp and rind

Such a SAD clown

should be put down

Why don't you dump Trump?

Is he even human?

Has he got a mind?

Orange-hued, hair askew,

he's all pulp and rind

Such a cheater,

bottom feeder

Why can't you dump Trump?

Why won't you dump Trump?

Tell me,

Why don't you dump Trump?

North Korea 'executes envoy to US' after Trump summit failures – report

South Korean paper claims Kim Hyok-chol has been killed and senior negotiator Kim Yong-chol subjected to forced labour

TRUMPLAND, May 31

And you wonder why
I love this guy
and moreover why
he loves me?
His folks for him
are glad to die
just as mine would for me.
(If I set them the task
and had someone ask.)
True blood brothers
are we, Kim and me.
True blood brothers are we.

Nothing can shame us.
We are both famous.
Those who dare blame us
are ignoramuses.
I get inspired
when I say, “You're fired!”
Kim follows suit
and actually shoots.

What now should I say
to Bolton and Pompeo?
“If you two can't deliver
some real diplo clout,
I'll have you shot
and taken out!?”

№ 589: Pomp And Circumvents (Pompeian dreams of glory)

THE SWAMP, May 6

Great Cæsar had Pompey the Great,
Grate Trump has me, Michael Pompeo.

Pompey, of course,
in due course
lost his head.

Whereas I, Michael Pompeo,
may yet take to bed,
calling in sick
then retire quick
to some cozy nook
to write a book
that causes Trump
to tweet harumphs
saying I'm “lying,
not on the level.”
(That would be like
praise from the Devil.)
Surely his tweets —
off of the rails —
would be a boost
for my book sales.
Maybe a groovy
Hollywood movie
where I play me
and they TWICE pay me?

I do not wanna be
just another dumb chump
who loses his soul
working for Trump.

WSJ: Senior White House Officials Deny Writing Anonymous Op-Ed Piece (Paywall)

Top officials including vice president and secretary of state disavow anonymous New York Times column describing internal effort to contain President Trump

(with apologies to Simon and Garfunkel)

Who would write op-ed anonymously?

To criticize my presidency?

“Not I,” said Mike Pence,

“in no happenstence

would I be that dense

but then, yes, of course,

as history takes, its course. . .”

Who anonymously

would care to dare to criticize me?

“Not I,” said Pompeo,

“I would never fillet-o,

for what it's worth,
your enormous girth.

Upon my word. It is absurd.”

Who, for a negotiated fee,

will soothe and comfort me?

“Not I,” said the porn star.

"Take your NDA and shove it far

into the place where your brains are.”

Who will save poor little Don?

Somebody, soon, or I'll be gone.

“I will,” said Mueller.

“You overwrought, over-aged pathetic preschooler.

I will be far, far, far less crueler.”
