A fractured nation
controlled by foul maniac;
Trump’s evil, unchecked.
A fractured nation
overtaken by evil,
as Putin’s Trump reigns.
A fractured nation
victimized by Trumpy myths
and cowardly pols.
A fractured nation–
Endangered Constitution–
The courts our last hope.
Mayor Eric Adams has made a deal with Donald “The Devil” Trump: In return for Trump’s making Adams’ pesky indictment go away, Adams will violate NY law by cooperating with Trump’s immigration (and perhaps other) policies. To make matters even worse, Trump has ensured Adams’ cooperation by making the indictment’s dismissal “without prejudice.” In other words, if Adams stops cooperating, Trump can get the indictment reinstated.
Fortunately, Governor Kathy Hochul has the legal power to remove Mayor Adams from office. But so far, she’s still weighing her decision. My limerick urges her to do the right thing and fire Mayor Adams right away.
Mayor Adams is now owned by Trump.
He’s been bought, so when Trump tells him “Jump,”
Adams asks him “How high?”
And so I must ask “Why
Doesn’t Hochul give Adams the dump?”
Headline: “Trump Keeps Floating A Possible Third Term”
Trump is eyeing a THIRD term. (Big Sigh!)
Is it likely that Donald will try?
Experts deem it illegal,
But Trump thinks he’s regal–
That there’s nothing his power can’t buy.
Washington Post Headline: “Republican skeptics cave on Trump’s most controversial Cabinet picks”
The Republican Sens. are compliant;
Against Donald they’re rarely defiant,
Which means bad nominees
Are approved with great ease…
Although each one’s the inverse of giant.

Our Constitutional Collapse (Limerick)
Thursday, February 6th, 2025I used to be able to write funny limericks. But these days, most of them are serious and depressing. This excellent Karen Tumulty column largely inspired this one:
An Executive Branch run amok!
Sen. “Advice and Consent?” No such luck!
Our Democracy’s hacked
And our nation’s soul’s cracked.
So what else can one say except FUCK!?!
