That just crosses the line

First of all, the Commerce Secretary has to resign.

Though he can hardly function, he’s not benign.

Second, of all the crazy authoritarian stuff

Is it really the weather when we say enough?!

Emoluments, environment, basic decency…

Nope! But a bad weather report gets no leniency.

A picture tells 1000 words

Fake news is evolving in sophistication

And posing a bigger threat to the nation.

As if fake stories weren’t bad already

Now deepfake imagery will make us unsteady.

If people believe the lies they read,

God help us when photos are in their feed.

Keep the camera on me

A terrific article which makes the case

That Donnie is the product of a place

Where the lack of empathy is what wins.

In reality TV, the makeshift plot always pins

The expected against the unexpected.

The latter boosts ratings… and gets you elected.

You don’t say?

BoJo is in fact something of a mystery,

There aren’t many like him throughout history.

He’s the dog that has actually caught the car.

“People are offended by bonuses.” Really?

But why shame others before he could face it?

Who makes these up?!

Singapore has always had some laws

That are pretty messed up with tons of flaws.

Like spitting chewing gum on the street

Which, though disgusting, should not meet

With the whipping you get for doing so.

And now you’re arrested to see your wife go?

Is it real or is it memory?

Total Recall was an awesome sci-fi flick.

You could buy memories, which was just sick.

But now that fantasy is turning out real

Which makes it a totally disturbing deal.

All we are is memory in our head.

So how will we know what life we led?

He did not act alone

Another mass slaughter with a gun,

And again we all want something to be done.

Many believe there must be brand new laws,

While the NRA whips up support for its cause.

But to start let’s enforce what’s already in place!

The gun vendor is also guilty in this disgrace.

Forecasts

There is nothing funny about a big storm

And making fun of catastrophe is pretty bad form.

But… fair game to go after all the predictions

That result in these totally useless depictions

Of when it will land and in which state!

Weathermen just make economists look great.
