Resisting Trump’s ‘Denali’ Folly

February 14, 2025 Buck Banks

Two Alaska senators are starting a GOP mini-rally
To reverse Donald Trump’s nomenclature folly.
They are bucking the trend,
So we’ll see where it ends
When they try to change “Mount McKinley” back to “Denali.”

Senate Confirms Box of Rocks

February 12, 2025 Buck Banks

Among quislings, Tulsi Gabbard stood out among many.
But 52 GOP senators confirmed her — a fulsome plenty.
Why they backed her remains a mystery,
So now for the first time in U.S. history
We have a director of national intelligence without any.

Dictator of Culture

February 10, 2025 Buck Banks

When it comes to culture, Trump thinks he knows what’s best.
He’s taking control of the Kennedy Center at no one’s behest.
Gone will be the orchestras,
The virtuosos and the operas,
And in their stead we’ll get Kid Rock, Carrie Underwood and Kanye West.

Lying Liars of Loyalty

February 9, 2025 Buck Banks

Please answer the question, “Who’s your real boss?”
This is serious — not just partisan dross.
If you want a job with the FBI,
You have to be loyal enough to lie.
It’s your employment gain, but it’s democracy’s loss.

The Buyout Strikeout

February 6, 2025 Buck Banks

Trump and Musk think federal employees are shirking,
But we think their approach is disconcerting.
Don’t you think it’s funny
That they think we’re saving money
By paying 40,000 people for eight months of not working?

No Qualifications, No Problem

February 6, 2025 Buck Banks

Seems like senators are no longer on the fence,
The Rs are approving Tulsi Gabbard without pretense.
She’s a proven liar,
But Trump wants to hire her:
So, you don’t have to be smart to be Trump’s director of intelligence.

Threat’s as Good as a Tariff

February 3, 2025February 3, 2025 Buck Banks

Trump’s “Art of the Deal” is negotiations’ dregs:
You strong-arm the mark until he gives up and begs.
It’s not good for inflation,
Economic growth or the nation.
Hey, wasn’t he going to bring down the price of eggs?

Leave It to Leavitt??

January 30, 2025 Buck Banks

It takes a special person to shovel Trump’s bullshit,
They have to stand there and lie like they believe it.
While youth isn’t a crime,
Experience does take time,
And it simply ain’t prudent to leave it to Karoline Leavitt.

Just One More

January 28, 2025 Buck Banks

If you ask Donald Trump, nobody’s done more.
And as for MAGA, there’s nobody they love more.
But leave it to a Fox News panel,
Gushing on Trump’s favorite channel,
To float the “epic” idea of adding his face to Mount Rushmore.

Tantrum in Tallahassee

January 27, 2025 Buck Banks

“Come to Tally for my extra special session!
“It’s a DeSantis Decree — comply without question!”
But lawmakers told Ron to take a dump,
They’d rather take orders direct from Trump.
Ron’s just a “flailing guy, losing relevance,” with indigestion.

Dishonest to a Fault
Buck Banks | Jul. 22, 2026

From Trump’s “stolen election” lies, we can’t get no relief,
He carps on about stolen votes, but he never names the thief.
Somebody needs to tell this guy
Americans aren’t buying his lies,
And that he’s turned us into the United States of Disbelief.

    $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.

    30%

    61% to 35%

    Wall Street Journal: “Around 40% of voters in the 2024 election said the economy was their top issue, far outstripping any other matter. And those voters favored Donald Trump by 60% to 38%. Many say they were moved by his pledges to tame inflation, rebuild U.S. infrastructure, cut red tape and trim government waste. … About a year and a half later, more voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy than approve, 61% to 35%, an average of polls by the Cook Political Report found this month.”
