The Low Road

August 11, 2026 Buck Banks


The contractor Trump hired was under-qualified and overpaid,
Though Trump says it was done by vandals with sharp blades.
But the damage wasn’t done by an Olympian vandal,
Trump did it himself, which is why it’s a scandal:
The Reflecting Pool was ruined by Trump’s 10-SUV motorcade.

Flight of Fancy

August 10, 2026 Buck Banks


Ron DeSantis once was one of the GOP’s rising stars,
But he fell from grace so very fast and so very far.
Congress gave Florida a $197 million allocation
Earmarked for electric car charging stations,
But DeSaneless would rather fund landing pads for flying cars.

Hey, JD, Can You Define Fraud?

August 7, 2026 Buck Banks

“If you are committing fraud against the American people, all of us in public leadership should be trying to stop it and throw you in prison for enriching yourself off the American taxpayer.”

— Vice President JD Vance, on Fox News.

Binds that Tie

August 7, 2026 Buck Banks


JD Vance’s social awkwardness extends into his married life,
Because he can’t stop referring to Usha as his “Indian wife.”
JD has also said he’s still wishin’
That Usha wasn’t Hindu, but Christian,
And that’s why JD’s looking down a very long road of marital strife.

‘No Gag Reflex’

August 3, 2026August 3, 2026 Buck Banks


He’s upended the traditional food pyramid, he wants you to know,
And he’s protected us from vaccinations, though not measles and polio.
He’s tackling the goal of food affordability,
He’s extolling roadkill, which is cheap — there’s plenty!
And now Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is going to have his own TV cooking show.

Another Broken Promise

July 31, 2026 Buck Banks


The Trump administration just ended a Medicare Plan D drug subsidy,
They repeatedly said, “Hands off Medicare,” so this is true treachery.
Coming on the eve of the 2026 midterms,
It’s making Republican lawmakers squirm,
So they don’t believe in “affordability,” but how about “electability?”

July 31, 2026 Buck Banks

Resting in Peace

July 30, 2026 Buck Banks


Donald Trump’s relationship to his “friends” is impugnable,
The late Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is a prime example.
Trump delivered a pro-forma eulogy —
A product of his diseased psychology,
And then he fell asleep during Lindsey Graham’s state funeral.

Poetic Justice

Ass in a Morass
Buck Banks | Jul. 24, 2026

Trump and the Iranians seem to be in different realities,
Though they share a callousness toward the war’s casualties.
Is Trump insane
Or just insanely vain?
And how can we extract ourselves from his “Quagmire of the Vanities?”

    “If any politician wants to get mothers on their side, they should adopt this issue. It’s such an obvious electoral winner. And what I’ve learned is there is no force in the universe stronger than mothers trying to protect their kids.”

    — Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, quoted by Politico, on the threats posed by social media and artificial intelligence.

    “Years before Natalie Harp became a key White House aide to President Donald Trump, she flooded her Twitter feed with posts demonstrating extraordinary devotion to him on January 6, 2021,” CNN reports. “Harp posted more than 150 tweets that day, urging Republicans to ‘FIGHT FOR TRUMP’ as he began his speech near the White House. She echoed the president’s talking points that the election was stolen, and amplified rhetoric of his allies, who also sought to undermine the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s election win. Harp’s X account appears suspended. It’s unclear when her account was taken down, and whether she or the platform removed her posts.”

    $4,600

    President Donald Trump is asking for $1,500,000 million for the military for next year. That’s close to $600 billion (adjusted for inflation) more than we were spending on the military in fiscal year 2025, before Trump took office, Alternet reports. This increase is huge by any measure. It comes to around $4,600 per household. It is around 8% of the total budget.
