What better way to recruit supporters

And guarantee coverage by reporters

Than to tell all the kids it’s totally cool

If you join the cause, you can cut school!

“This completely changes things” indeed…

A million new fans of the young female Swede.

It seems young Eric gets little respect.

Which means his lies don’t go unchecked.

But that doesn’t stop him from giving it a go

And setting the partisan bar so low.

I think I would feel some shame in his shoes

What with his dad always crying about fake news…

Have to say it’s a little bit ironic
That among Ronald Reagan’s most iconic
Policy positions (which will cause our decline)
Was that budget deficits are just fine!
Now his boyhood house may collapse
From debt and deficits… yes, ironic perhaps?

As far as breaking commandments goes
Donnie is deep into its throes.
There’s the adultery and telling lies
Behavior that’s not hard to despise.
But that’s not why evangelicals are sad
It’s the cussing that makes them so mad.

Black cats are passing across our path

As we assess the debate’s aftermath.

Few are gaining traction on the Big Three

While Bernie and Liz take cuts at Joe’s knee.

But I have a hard time seeing the way

To victory for any of them on Election Day.

These humpback whales do quite a thing –

They get together each year just to sing.

Who knows what they sing about?

Love won or lost or the size of their spout…

And I wonder if they also like

To tie one on before they take the mic?

Eighteen years ago today
America was struck in a terrible way.
Planes became missiles and crashed into
The innocence of a generation or two.
Yet, even today, so few have had to make
Many sacrifices for our freedom’s sake.

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.

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.

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.
