Um, actually I didn’t

This latest just continues a surreal trend

And makes you wonder where it will end.

The Attorney General sent out a release

Stating that Berman had resigned in peace.

The only little detail that it failed to convey,

Was Berman had not, and had said “no way.”

Fox Facts

The bedrock pillar of right-wing news

Took a poll showing interesting views.

The overwhelming majority of all folks

Aren’t too pleased with political jokes.

Get serious with important health tasks,

Don’t have rallies and wear those masks.

SCOTUS 2 – TRUMP 0

What a week for great surprises

As the Chief Justice hands out prizes!

First he dealt Donnie a pretty bad blow

Supporting the rights of the Rainbow.

Then he sided again with the liberal wing

To protect our Dreamers from ICE’s sting.

Not exactly manna, but…

Drones have mostly been annoying to me

They buzz overhead while the pilot can see

Whatever you’re doing in your little castle

So mostly I’ve thought of them as a hassle.

But this I must say is insanely cool –

Delivering books that children need for school.

Uh, then what WILL you do?

I just can’t say it makes much sense
No matter that things have become so tense
For any police unit to come out and say
That moving forward as of today
There is no longer an anti-crime team…
Is that not essential to the whole scheme?!

Left Field

Quite the surprise coming from this Court

Stacked as it is with Donnie’s cohort.

I wonder what his base will think –

That the majority opinion really does stink?

Or will this make them feel everything’s okay?

…or assume that Gorsuch and Roberts are gay?

This is Different

Don’t let the pendulum swing too far
And be irresponsible where we set the bar.
This case is nothing like George Floyd,
And reflects a massive thinking void.
The man was violent and started to run
It’s totally tragic, but justified a gun.

Wrong Waiver

It doesn’t get more interesting than this
A Trump rally you just can’t miss.
Of course it’s safe, there’s nothing to fear!
But sign this waiver just in case my dear…
They really need a different waiver instead
Since the worst infection is in Trump’s head.

Scheisse, maw problemz

The folks at VW are again in a jam…

Remember their diesel emissions scam?

Now they’ve launched a racist ad.

Who’d expect the Germans to act so bad?!

Their excuse, I must say, really does blow:

“Yah, so sorry, you see vee just didn’t know…”

Independent Arms

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

Has now apologized for his political gaff.

It’s heartening to see democracy work

And the military rejecting this circle jerk.

The armed forces are vital and only bound

To we the people, not a partisan hound.
