Poems Are How I Cope

Bad poetry is not a crime.
It provokes. And mostly rhymes.
I choose politics to post about.
It’s my way to scream and shout.
ICE Math Is Very Telling

2.1 million undocumented in Texas.
Florida is 1.6 million. What vexes us?
Minnesota’s 130,000 is a smaller population.
Why is ICE there? It’s not about immigration.

Trump Fears The Midterms

Rants about the Insurrection Act?
He’s afraid of being being sacked.
If Democrats win he’d lose control.
So cancelling midterms is his goal.

Is It Really About Immigration?

Who deported more — Trump or Obama?
Barack wins by a lot, with no ICE drama.
No masks. No guns. No one being killed.
It’s the TERROR that makes Trump thrilled!

“Very Disrespectful of Law Enforcement”

Lack of respect is what killed Renee Good?
That’s what Trump says he understood.
What this says is unbelievably dreadful.
Now they’ll kill you for being disrespectful!

Time For Congress To Act

It’s well known Trump should be impeached.
But now a drastic urgency has been reached.
His insane actions aren’t our American story.
Wake up — this is 25th Amendment territory!

War for Oil = Excellent Distraction

It’s not about drugs (see narco trafficker pardon).
It’s Venezuelan oil that gives Trump a hard on.
We’ll see a sham trial — lies to justify the attack.
Epstein! Economy! Healthcare! He has to distract.
January 3, 2026 at 10:20 PM
We All See What Trump’s Doing

Tariffs causing big economic failings.
Faltering health and awful ratings.
It’s all bad. Especially Epstein data.
How to distract? War with Venezuela!

Epstein’s Victims vs Trump’s Friends

Release the files about the Epstein pervert!
Trump, “No way! My friends will get hurt!”
Getting justice for the victims is what’s fair.
Hurting Trump’s friends — does anyone care?

GOP Thinks You’re An Idiot

Republicans cut Medicaid by a trillion dollars.
Then brought half back and expect honors?
Their dishonest governing it totally bogus.
They think Americans are too dumb to notice.

His Speech Was An Epic Disaster

Trump hasn’t lowered prices.
A big campaign promise in crisis.
His speech was mainly to frighten,
And blame his incompetence on Biden.
December 19, 2025 at 6:47 PM
Hurt Americans = GOP Win!

Republicans create a huge crisis.
They want suffering. They despise us.
Pay a big ransom to clean up their mess,
Or they’ll call the damage itself success.

Economic Gaslighting

Trump yells, “The economy is great!”
While prices rise at an alarming rate.
Everyone can see finances are grim,
But MAGA who, oddly, still believe him.

Why Is He So Mad He Wants Dems Dead?

Reminding military they can’t break the law,
Pissed off Trump so he says, “Hang them all!”
Why does he want the military to be awful?
Trump obviously wants them to be unlawful.

Which Party Threatens Violence?

Democrats have hated MTG forever.
But no security was needed. However,
Now that the right is angry and pissed,
She’s hired security. A very telling twist.

Distraction: Trump’s Epstein Vote U-Turn

He now “wants” a vote since he’ll lose.
Trump’s massive flip-flop is big news.
But no vote is needed. No need for trials.
Trump could easily just release the files.

ACA & Epstein: GOP In the Spotlight

More expensive ACA health care,
And hugging Trump like a teddy bear.
Their ugly failures are on full display.
A new reality the GOP can’t spin away.

Tech Giant Is Helping ICE

Google has decided to side with ICE,
By hosting an app to add to your device.
It looks at a face then notifies the police.
They’re helping ICE by okaying it’s release.

The Four Leaks Trump Must Plug

Epstein survivors will certainly tell.
There’s the estate. And maybe Maxwell.
And 1000+ DOJ folks told to hide his role.
Good luck plugging them all, asshole!
November 13, 2025 at 8:02 PM
Todd Blanche Has Some Explaining To Do

The Justice Department had Epstein’s emails.
Interviewing Maxwell he ignored those details.
She lied about Epstein and his gross buddies.
So Blanche sent her to a cushy prison with puppies?
November 13, 2025 at 6:51 PM
Epstein Emails: Three Trump Possibilities

Best: He knew about it but did nothing.
Medium: He forced investigation shutting.
Worst: On the island having sex with girls.
No wonder he’s freaking out as this unfurls.

ACA Vote Puts GOP in Box

YES feeds the Trump reality show.
Voters will remember if they vote NO.
Now the 2026 election begins.
Constituent vs Trump — who wins?

Trump’s Commanders Stadium Fail

See his face when everyone booed?
He was expecting a different mood.
The world isn’t full of right-wingers.
He better get used to middle fingers.
November 11, 2025 at 7:34 PM
His Vocabulary Has Expanded

Donald Trump says we have a “new word”.
Apparently it’s something he’s never heard?
No, it’s obviously not the word “civility”.
He just learned we care about “affordability”.
November 6, 2025 at 6:59 PM
Groceries Show He’s Clueless

No! ID isn’t needed at the grocery store.
Perhaps he’s never been there before?
With prices up, he won’t admit as much.
Donald Trump is shockingly out of touch.

“Sloppy Steve” Has Advice for the GOP

Steve Bannon is freaked by the election.
Insists the GOP shouldn’t change direction.
"You’re either with MAGA or you’re not!”
Dems agree — please continue to rot.
