Month: August 2023

Just look at Trump’s mug shot and what do you think?
Of bursting blood vessels, he looks on the brink
Some say that he’s angry, ‘though truthful impaired
While some claim it’s evident he’s shitless scared

Will this be the first of a mug gallery
Of future such prexies indicted as he?
Has Trump’s deep corruption set new precedent
For future corruption by new presidents?

Whatever Trump’s fate as the future unfolds
His mug shot will be there; the Trump saga told
And on through the ages and all ‘cross the Earth
‘Twill be a reminder that Trump was there first.

Don Trump’s indictments now do total four
His charges, criminal, add up to ninety one
And ‘though that number’s very large
There’s more for which he won’t be charged
It’s just a fraction of the things he’s done
Where you and I would end behind jail doors

The last indictment, courtesy of A.G. Willis,
Included eighteen coconspirators, plus One,
Who violated Georgia’s law
On racketeering to defraud
The public, saying Trump had won
But years ‘twill take in court to witness justice

R. Maddow, MSNBC reporter ace
Said: history looking back on these events
Won’t ask how Trump’s behaviors were
Allowed so blithely to occur
Instead will question how as President
This con man was elected in the first place

It’s hard to say the impact of last Monday and today
Momentous, yes, but in what way?
Indicted and arraigned, a former President
Conspired against my right to vote, and yours
While still in office, Trump, who was hell bent
In office to remain the next four years and more

And death it would have been for our democracy
Elected leaders mired in deep hypocrisy
Near half the House and Senate G.O.P. did cast their votes
Against electors who the People clearly chose
This, following the storming of the Capitol
By mobs of MAGA ‘patriots’ whom Trump extolled

Jack Smith, the Special Counsel, of the D.O.J
Indicted Trump on three more counts as well that day
That Trump conspired so to defraud and to obstruct
The peaceful transferring of power; to construct
An autocratic government with Trump in charge
With dire consequences for the world at large

Due largely to the findings of the House committee
That Speaker Nancy formed to delve the origins
Of January-six, the insurrection
The D.O.J. gave Jack Smith’s team complete discretion
To ferret out the truth behind what happened then
Which led to this indictment of the former President

Accountability to law was on the line
Had not the Speaker formed the one-six team
I doubt the D.O.J.’d have followed through in kind
And Trump and his conspirators scot free would be
To try it all again in twenty twenty four
My hat is off to those who stood for all our country stands for
