Headline: Trump Again States if He Loses, It’s Because of Fraud

To presuppose cause for an end

Is logic you cannot defend.

It’s called a Red Herring

It’s not only erring,

It’s now quite the Trumpian trend.

And knowing what Donald is spewing

And realizing what he’s pursuing,

And knowing it’s fraud,

You stand and applaud

You’re cheering this nation’s undoing.

Headline: Justice Department Labels New York, Portland and Seattle as ‘Anarchy’ Jurisdictions

The Justice Department? How quaint.

Don’s freed it from any constraint.

In the hands of Bill Barr

Bid the name au revoir,

It’s ‘Just Us’ now. Justice, it ain’t.

Headline: Trump: Covid-19 Affects ‘Virtually Nobody.’

I’m Virtually No One. I’m dead.

“So what? Sick and old!”, Don has said.

I’m Two Hundred Thousand!! —

But you’re taking bows and

Ignoring me. Bragging instead.

Headline: Trump Claims Democratic Politicians Wrote Judge Ginsburg’s Dying Wish

You blot without morals or shame

Who seeks to divide and inflame.

Do not invoke Ruth

In your war against truth.

You’re not fit to utter her name.

Headline: Lindsay Graham’s 2016 Words Come Back to Haunt Him

With Senator Graham’s permission,

We’ll honor his own proposition:

“Use my words against me.”

Well, now that’s commenced. We

Appreciate the ammunition.

Headline: McConnell Vows Quick Vote on Ginsburg Replacement

Mitch, you’ve got chutzpah to spare.

There’s no one who isn’t aware:

Your stunning hypocrisy,

Mocks our democracy…

But you’re too indecent to care.

Headline: Trump Demands Schools Teach ‘Patriotic’ History

We’re perfect. Accept. Be robotic.

And that will make school ‘patriotic’.

And so our friend Mister T

Whitewashes history,

As common among the despotic.

September 18

Headline: Barr Calls Lockdowns “Greatest Intrusion on Civil Liberties” in US History “Other than Slavery.”

That Covid news needs diminution,

So cry, “Lockdowns are persecution!

They’re almost like slavery!

Resistance is bravery!”

(Now ain’t that a nifty solution?)

Headline: HHS says Spokesman Takes Two-month ‘Leave of Absence’ Following Conspiracy-laden Rant

HHS spokesman Caputo

Has made his career kaput. Oh,

Mike! Where to go

Where your madness won’t show?

Perhaps in some small town on Pluto?

Headline: Potential of Life Found on Venus

I tell you, my friend, just between us,

If there really is life up on Venus,

I hope it’s designed

Quite unlike humankind

And a less stupid species and genus.
