A Clown and a Shutdown

September 22, 2023 Buck Banks

Kevin McCarthy is a sad spineless clown,
Who’s letting the wingnuts kick him around.
The House right-wingers
Are just performative whingers
Who’re pushing the country toward a government shutdown.

Rapping Sap Slapped

August 29, 2023 Buck Banks

Vivek Ramaswamy is a smarmy little sap.
He’s got a smirky face you just want to slap.
But performing as “Da Vek” he
Went and pissed off Slim Shady —
And Eminem said cease and desist hustling my rap.

The Not-Great Debate

August 23, 2023 Buck Banks

It’s the night of the Republican primary debate,
And it’s likely to decide some candidates’ fate.
We’ll miss that big orange fucker
Who’ll be Twitter-chatting with Tucker,
So, as must-see TV it’ll probably just be … third-rate.

Smells Like DeSantis

August 17, 2023 Buck Banks

By now you probably have heard,
In New Hampshire Ron DeSantis is third.
In the current list he
Trails Chris Christie,
As his campaign circles the bowl — like a turd.

Old and In the Way

July 30, 2023July 30, 2023 Buck Banks

There’s a new meaning to “the world’s ‘oldest’ democracy,”
Where “who lasts longest” has replaced our time-tested meritocracy.
With Trump, Feinstein, McConnell and Biden,
We’re led by septa-, nona- and octogenarians.
Americans of all ages unite! And welcome to the gerontocracy!

Florida: Not a Slave to Truth

July 23, 2023 Buck Banks

When it comes to questions of compensation
Florida is ahead of the rest of the nation.
In case you’ve forgotten,
We taught Blacks how to plant and pick cotton,
So forget reparations, they should pay whites back for their enslaved education.

Hood’s Off, Tommy

July 12, 2023 Buck Banks

He is absolutely no Winston Churchill,
But he could be the mayor of Gooberville.
You know, that racist S.O.B.,
From down in Alabamy —
The white supremacist Senator Tommy Tuberville.

Large Marge Discharged

July 7, 2023 Buck Banks

Marjorie Taylor Greene has a rep for being obnoxious,
With her tenure in the House markedly rowdy and raucous.
The bottle-blond Georgian witch
Called Lauren Boebert a “little bitch,”
And got herself booted from the House Freedom Caucus.

Reigning (Raining?) Russians

July 6, 2023 Buck Banks

Was it a coup attempt or a revolution? No one knows.
Now Prigozhin’s back in Russia, testing how the wind blows.
Unless you’re a Rasputin,
There’s no escaping Putin.
Our advice? Hey Yevgeny, keep away from the windows!

SCOTUS — Lifetime (Dis)Appointments

July 1, 2023 Buck Banks

So the benighted Colorado christianist got her way,
Now she won’t have to make websites for anyone gay.
The Trump Supremes are creating a nation
Where affirmative action’s replaced by discrimination,
And the meaning of your vote is erased away.

A Clown and a Shutdown

Who’s letting the wingnuts kick him around.

Verbatim

    “This is not conservative Republicanism. This is stupidity. The idea that we’re going to shut the government down when we don’t control the Senate, we don’t control the White House. These people can’t define a win. They don’t know how to take yes for an answer. It’s a clown show. You keep running lunatics. You’re going to be in this position.”

    — Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), on CNN.

    Comment » 

    “Interviews with nearly two dozen lobbyists, political consultants and lawmakers revealed that DeSantis’ struggles as a presidential candidate have already eroded his influence in Florida. There is a widespread expectation that his candidacy will end in failure. His standing at home may depend on how long he slogs forward in the presidential campaign — and how he will manage his exit from the race if he eventually drops out.”

    — Politico

    “Our job is not to take orders from the president, from Congress, or from anyone else, about who or what to criminally investigate. I am not the president’s lawyer. I will add I am not Congress’s prosecutor. The Justice Department works for the American people.We will not be intimidated. We will do our jobs free from outside influence. And we will not back down from defending our democracy.”

    — Attorney General Merrick Garland, testifying before the House Judiciary Committee/Inquisition.

    “We always get the blame. Name one time that we’ve shut the government down and we haven’t got the blame.”

    — Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID), a senior appropriator, told Katherine Tully-McManus and Adam Cancryn of Politico.

    “Mmmkay! And I’m 110lbs and a virgin ?! I’m not a scale or a doctor but I have spent some time beneath 215lb men and Tiny was not one of them.”

    — Stormy Daniels, referring to Donald Trump’s claim at his arrest last week that he weighs just 215 pounds.

    The Florida Legislature (which last year passed a “Constitutional Carry” gun law) is spending millions of dollars beefing up security at the Capitol Complex with expensive bulletproof windows while also making it easier for people to carry weapons into those state buildings. The Legislature approved a $61.6 million window replacement project as part of a larger renovation of the Capitol, reports the Orlando Sentinel.
