This all was quite fine.
He drew a hard line,
However, at not doing war.

The demons inside him
Who taunt and deride him
With fears of a steel-slatted cell

While #Mueller is turning the screws

Day 660
Saturday 10 November 2018

Day 657
Wednesday 7 November 2018
Limerick
Sessions
The AG Jeff Sessions (“Magoo”)
Was suddenly told he was through.

The top legal chap in the land
Who balked at his boss' demand
To cause the expiry
Of Mueller's inquiry
And thus obstruct justice, was canned
Day 649

Limerick
TaxDollars
ButHerEmails
No wonder Don hid his returns—
This grifter hoards all that he earns.
We turned down a female
Because of her email,
Electing, instead, Mr. Burns.
Limerick
TaxDollars
As privileged wealthy elites,
The Trumps, in their taxes, were cheats.
Their goal as a squad
Was oftentimes fraud.
The NYT has the receipts.
Day 617
Friday 28 September 2018
Limerick
SCOTUS
“I’ve taken the time to assess:

He wrote of himself in the press.
Day 592
Monday 3 September 2018

To Stephen K. Bannon, who sucks.
Day 585
Monday 27 August 2018

On doing big crimes, as we’ve seen.

Are guilty at least of sixteen.
Day 573
Wednesday 15 August 2018
Limerick
Conway
The media liked Kellyanne
As well as George Conway, her man,

Day 572
Tuesday 14 August 2018
Limerick

Concerning which slurs he prefers.
Day 566
Wednesday 8 August 2018

Day 547
Friday 20 July 2018
Limerick

A Trump tape has come to the fore,
Creating excitement once more.

Day 544
Tuesday 17 July 2018
Limerick

Tuesday 26 June 2018

A fellow judged others by race
And grew a political base.
Those lands far away
Are shitholes, he'd say,
Neglecting the one in his face.

An absolute pro,
He just doesn’t know
What bills he endorses or why.
