Bothersome Biden Babble

May 30, 2026 Buck Banks

The Dems want to move on from 2024, but the Bidens won’t let them go.
Jill’s out with her memoir and making the rounds of the talk shows.
Joe’s suing the Department of Justice,
Hunter’s doing far-right podcasts,
Please just shut the F up Bidens, that means you: Hunter, Jill and Joe!

Pope Broke Kids’ Trope

May 29, 2026 Buck Banks

The pope is God’s earthbound representative of heaven,
He prays, shepherds his flock and offers communion.
But Pope Leo is cool,
He’s nobody’s fool,
Although he did just ruin the kids’ internet meme, “6-7.”

Latinos Still Not Flocking to Democratic Party

May 28, 2026 Buck Banks

54%

CBS News: “Some 54% of Latino voters plan to vote for a Democratic House candidate in November, and 27% plan to vote for a Republican, with 19% undecided, according to the poll of 3,000 registered Latino voters, which was conducted nationally and across 32 competitive congressional districts …. That 54% figure lines up exactly with the Democratic share of the Latino vote in the 2024 House elections, according to exit polls that year — which is a notable drop from previous cycles. Democrats won 60% of the Latino House vote in 2022, 63% in 2020 and 69% in 2018.”

The Great Negotiator

May 28, 2026June 9, 2026 Buck Banks

In negotiating with Iran, Trump can’t just pull a deal off the shelf,
Not after starting the war and then asking NATO allies for help.
The guy from “The Art of the Deal”
Is only good at the Art of the Steal,
And then he’s a great negotiator when he’s self-dealing with himself.

That Benighted Burgum

May 27, 2026 Buck Banks

Trump’s Interior secretary Doug Burgum is a dope.
Oval Office photo ops are the extent of his scope.
Still, he went on Fox News
To share his idiotic views,
And criticized the encyclical penned by the Pope.
