REALITY, April 8
If you think about it
it isn't preposterous
for you to conclude
the Earth is a hospice.
All life, all species,
of course, are ephemeral,
to try to deny it
is mental Demerol.
Believe if you must
in God we trust,
don't make a fuss,
we're essentially dust
from which we come
to which we'll go,
that is the game
goodbye, hello.
This hospice, however,
is poorly run.
(I assume that's not
news to anyone.)
Lacking in comfort,
lacking in calm,
chock-full of things
causing us harm,
indifferent as to
whether we're well.
You know what it is?
It's a hospice from hell.
A hospice designed
essentially
by Donald Trump
and his GOP
with the intent
to put in your head
this is so awful
you'd be better dead
rather than here
with hapless bystanders
who are so distressed
they'd elect Bernie Sanders
which is not a solution
in times like these
all it would be
is different disease.

On that great Re-pub-li-can Day
Won't it be fun after we've won and have things our way
Do away with anything that's gay

Universal Healthcare denied
When we kill your coverage

What a day for corporations
What a day for makin' workers crawl
Laughing at their lamentations
As we make 'em slavey
And rip off their balls
Says here
Bells will ring in every steeple
Gonna put the Bible
Back in school
All you white and
Gun-loving people
Forget about fair
And the Golden Rule
Says here
Come and get it
Come and get it
Come
There's gonna be a world shakin’
Deregulatin' day
Great day!

Sniper rifle?
Hallelujah!

Glory times

No. CLXIII.ii: EXTRA! Graham-Cassidy GOP Score
The
Congressional Budget Office released a partial analysis of the latest
GOP bill late Monday, concluding the number of people with
comprehensive health coverage would be “reduced by millions.” The
CBO also estimated that by 2026, the bill would cut about $1 trillion
in Medicaid spending, resulting in millions of people being left out
of the program.
under our plan
millions of
citizens
would lose health
coverage
says CBO
DUH! CBO
why you don't get it
killing folks off
is the way to go
we plan to fund tax cuts
with billions and
trillions
that would be
wasted
keeping lower
(and middle)
class riff-raff
alive
without healthcare
they
won't live to
retire
not a big deal
our donors will thrive
(and we survive)

Trump/Kim
nukes and sass
“No, I'll kick your ass”
all that remains

Trump/Nixon
one thing Trump won't
take from Nixon's playbook
who'd ever believe his

No. CXIX: Repeal Replace Stragedy
From: The Donald
To: McConnell
Mr. Majority “Leader”. What is the
deal?
After your brilliant Supreme Court seat
steal*,
I thought we were good with health care
repeal?!
Collins, Murkowski? Those two! Again!
Those damned bitches are such a pain...
I have to rely on John McCain's "brain".
(With Pence who may any moment get "raptured",
I gotta depend on a guy that got captured!)
Gotta repeal Amendment 19.
Women voting, Founding FATHERS! would find obscene.
Women are fine. In their place. If not pushy.
(For when you feel like grabbing some
[REDACTED].)
I think that's all. At least for now.
Love workin' with your wife, Elaine Chao†.
A seven! When younger, I bet...a WOW!
