In an op ed by Comey he detailed just why
Republican senators won’t even try
To hold Trump accountable for what they see
That Trump is destroying our democracy
Devouring their souls every time that he lies
They grimace and bear it and let it go by
It’s not worth a challenge provoking Trump’s ire
Or stir up Trump’s base forcing them to retire
Trump’s voters reside in the Fox network bubble
And Trump’s their messiah; outsiders are trouble
The senators fear challengers from the right
They must be supportive in Donald Trump’s sight
The AG Bill Barr has disgraced his department
Ignoring all norms of an AG’s comportment
Distorting on purpose Bob Mueller’s conclusions
Thus favoriting Trump causing public confusion
Meanwhile Trump has issued a blanket refusal
To honor subpoenas, a total dismissal
Of Congress’s duty to do oversight
Forcing the House to engage in a fight
Trump, in a phone call, discussed with Vlad Putin
The Mueller Report and dismissed its conclusions
That Russia invaded by cyber attacks
Our practice of politics warping the facts
In favor of Trump, helping him win the race
Now they’ll do it again; Putin’s hacks are in place
Not a peep from Republicans, they’ll not defy
Donald Trump as they watch our democracy die
