The Lost Debate



A debate it was where neither won.
Both lost.
Their close supporters feel undone
And tossed
Trump lost the undecided with
His lies
His version of what’s real, but in
Disguise
Joe Biden lost their confidence
His fans
‘Twas clear he was a weak and tense
Old man
Regaining voters back, what might
He do?
I’d say to Biden time to fight
Anew
To demonstrate you’ve strength enough
Within
That you’re all there. Enough you’re tough
To win

Trump Bubble



Within the Trump bubble, what’s going on now?
He challenged Joe Biden, “Get mentally examined!”
But then his own doctors he mixed up somehow
Each day it’s apparent he’s mentally challenged

But that doesn’t matter to those in his bubble
Top G.O.P. leaders, the Senate, the House
Where once they denounced him as nothing but trouble
They now all embrace him; their ticket to power

These G.O.P. leaders, all true hypocrites
To maintain their power there’s naught they won’t do
If it means electing someone who’s unfit,
A felon, a rapist, misogynist too,

A liar, a cheater, who stoked armed rebellion,
Who says to embrace him you must buy his lies
And do what he tells you, no matter the outcome
And those who oppose him politically die

“Accepting all that to stay in? Count me in!
Unless I’m in Office, I’ve nothing to do
My stupid constituents vote me to win
And then I ignore them when Trump tells me to”

Let’s work toward the day that the Trump bubble bursts
When voters Republican vote people in
Who know how to govern; who’ll put people first
We’ll then have democracy; everyone wins

Thirty Four



Trump was convicted on thirty four counts
Thirty four times now a felon he is
A GOP campaign of terror they mount
Against all who helped to bring those verdicts in

Their families and they many threats have received
Death threats and verbal abuse; no one spared
Their purpose to hamstring the courts, I believe
Where future court jurors won’t join; they’ll be scared

Meanwhile in Congress Republicans claim
That our juris prudence has taken a fall
Trump’s trial was rigged and Joe Biden’s to blame
But no cited proof, empty verbiage that’s all

Trump is a felon, a rapist is he
Misogynist, racist; he’s mentally impaired
A full fledged dictator he intends to be
With vengeance toward enemies; poorly they’ll fare

This is the man whom the GOP wants
To lead us as well as the rest of the Earth
Who’d rule us by fiats and merciless daunts
We can’t let this happen, for all that that’s worth

Choices


Judge Aileen Cannon, way to go!
You’ll make it happen, we all know
Putting off the trial date
Indefinitely. How great!
This way when Trump becomes the pres.
And “I’m retiring”, Thomas says
You’ll be there ready then to be
Appointed to the Court Supreme

Her tactics, typical they are
Of fascist states distorting law
Where justice is an empty word
And freedom’s call can not be heard
Her selfish act to keep Trump free
Helps undermine democracy
It’s not alone in recent news
There’s much, much more; it is my view

Egregious, though, perhaps the most
Is what the RNC now boasts
To be a true Republican
One must espouse that Trump had won
In twenty twenty and should be
Our current president, you see
Thus leaders of the RNC
Won’t buy a Biden victory

The question raised by these events:
How then to choose a president?

Today’s



Supreme Court hearing, did you hear
‘Twas twenty twenty one that year
The year the presidential coup
Almost succeeded; Trump v. you

At issue here: Was Trump immune
From prosecution? ‘Twas his tune
Since he was President, you see
His acts were legal. He was free

Trump’s justices, the bush beat ‘round
With hypotheticals unsound
Did not address the issue’s core
Revealing biases galore

Their tactic: to delay, it’s clear
The trial of Trump until next year
Beyond elections in the Fall
And possibly no trial at all

The Court’s behavior does reveal
The dangers of this Court are real
Their claim of justice is a fake
Democracy, itself’s at stake

4/26/2024

Comparison



So stark today’s comparison
With Trump creating history
Deflated in his misery
First President to be on trial
Been charged with deeds felonious

While Biden with his counselors met
Deciding what’s the best response
To Natanyahu on Iran’s
Three hundred drones and missiles sent
At Israel – which were shot down

Who would you choose as President?

Tsavah

  • Tsavah

    It’s not the tsavah that I knew
    It’s not the Hel Avir, my friends,
    When Israel was still quite new
    And I designing things for them
    Then Golda was Prime Minister
    Unlike old Bibi, now P.M.
    Who’s actions board on sinister
    Who really doesn’t give a damn
    That three and thirty thousand died
    Block-buster bombs on Gaza dense
    Civilians found no place to hide
    Plus Hamas tactics, no pretense
    They used civilians as their shields

    One hundred thousand protesters
    Israelis taking to the fields
    And streets around Jerusalem
    Amounts to more than one percent
    Of Israel’s total population
    One percent, a delegation
    Telling Bibi to resign
    Maspeak! Enough! Now is the time!

Fake News


I am the author of news that is fake
I do it deliberately, make no mistake
I write to support the Republican cause
To Hell with democracy; damned be the laws
Within social media I like to post
With pundits on Fox News my lies carry most
My purpose is simple, to push Trump ahead
He’s my candidate, never mind what he’s said
He’ll govern like Putin; a man I admire
A strong man and tough, what this nation requires
You’ll find me on every news outlet that’s red
You’ll hear different names but it’s me there instead
I actually almost believe what I say
Fake news is the future; it’s now here to stay

Trumple Acolytes

In the course of time abounding
Bad the news around, resounding
Trumple this and Trumple that
Trumple donned his MAGA hat
With all his acolytes surrounding

‘Twas once the Grand Old Party bold
Thoughts not allowed now; do as told
Ignore the truth. Ignore the facts
Ignore the courts and their attacks
Or else you’ll end out in the cold

Trumple fined near half a billion
You must pay, he told his minions
You’re my golden patriots
Though I know you’re idiots
You’ll never know my real opinion

Just keep on lauding me and paying
‘Till I’m in the White House staying
Worry not how outcomes look
I will get in by hook or crook
You listen up to what I’m saying

Priorities

Priorities

I’m a MAGA Republican that’s who I am
And I’m damn proud to be one; I don’t give a damn
If you’re black, brown or otherwise you don’t belong
This country’s white Christian, t’was meant all along
And Trump? He’s our leader; we do his least whim
He’s strong just like Putin; no messing with him

I’m a member of Congress, the red side, of course,
I follow Trump’s dictates, there’s no other choice
We tried some impeachings, but they didn’t pass
Our Speaker behaves like his head’s up his rear
We can’t pass a budget, we can’t all agree
To Hell with Ukraine and with Israel, you’ll see

I am here in the Senate; I’m far to the right
We worked hard, bipartisan, many nights,
The Dems gave near all that we asked to include
The border, Ukraine and for Israel, to boot
But Trump gave thumbs down; don’t give Biden a win
That tells you the state that our Senate is in

What, then, are Republican priorities?
It’s Trump, then it’s Putin, last, Country it seems
