Christie Bows Out

I’m sorry to see Chris Christie drop out

Because I sorta liked what he’s about,

Sticking with conservative policy

But without tearing down democracy.

Yet his fate is the same as all the rest

Since the GOP thinks Trump is the best.

But Still Teflon

The thing that just seems so very insane

Is that all of this simply helps him gain

More and more loyalty from all his troops

So the lower and lower that he stoops

The stronger his fan base in MAGA land…

So he’s right – there’ll be bedlam if he’s banned.

Because… of Course

Like any hero who has some powers

The strength of QAnon Shaman sours

When kept away from the important things

That give him meaning, when his soul sings…

It’s like making him wear a crown of thorns

To withhold his battle helmet and horns.

The Transformer

Of course it’s hard to raise money these days

With all the political junk and haze.

So what the GOP has decided

Is to go long on being divided

And just double down on all MAGA lies

EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT’S REALLY UNWISE…

Glass Houses

It does nothing to change the facts of the case

And Harvard has still got a very red face.

But let’s admit that it’s pretty funny

For blowhard Bill Ackman with all his money,

Who shouted out the plagiarism claim,

To discover his wife has done the same!

Happy Anniversary!

It’s been three years and everything has changed…

The nation’s united, no one’s estranged!

Oh how nice if that were only the case

But instead we’re doing an about face.

Doubling down on the nation’s Big Lie

And eager to give Trump another try.

Foreign Aid, Trump Style!

Another crime to add to the pile!

Though no one seems to have cared for a while.

It’s serious, the emoluments clause

Protecting the nation, one of our laws.

But just like everything that he pursues

Trump couldn’t care less about who he screws.

Oh, It’s a Pickle

The Dems have now shot themselves in the foot.

Any chance for a new guy is caput.

But one thing I think they surely could do

Is replace the VP with someone new.

At least then the public would feel more at ease

Should Biden keel over and fall to his knees.

Crimson-faced

It’s not clear to me how this has become

A political issue, seems kinda dumb.

I don’t think she was brought down by a mob

Rather how did she ever get this job?!

Forget her fueling of major schism…

You’re thrown out of school for plagiarism.

Low Leada’ Express

New names are out and oh what a surprise!

Two of the best at delivering lies…

Of course it’s not new that powerful men

Take advantage of everything that they can.

But it sure isn’t wrong that we would want more

Than leaders who are so dark at the core.
