Santos Is Toast

February 3, 2023 Buck Banks

He’s proved a towering figure of mendacity,
With audacity and opacity, but not veracity.
George Santos is leavin’ ’em,
But should we believe him
That he won’t serve on committees in any capacity?

Weaker Speaker Squeaker

January 9, 2023 Buck Banks

McCarthy’s win last week was a squeaker.
The wingnuts got strong while McCarthy got weaker.
They handed Kevin his nuts
And a thousand small cuts,
Now he’s less of a man and even less of a Speaker.

Trump’s Preferences

December 20, 2022 Buck Banks

When golfing, he likes stories that are uplifting.
With documents, he likes to keep the FBI sifting.
Of course, it’s plain
Why he’s running again:
When governing, he likes to keep up the grifting.

Again and Again

November 16, 2022 Buck Banks

So, Donald Trump is running for president (again).
He really wants to be Grifter-In-Chief (again).
But his donors are tired,
The GOP’s uninspired,
And everyone expects him to lose (again.)

Cruz Bruised by Boos

November 10, 2022 Buck Banks

Poor Tailgunner Ted is singing the blues,
On Yelp, he only gets negative reviews.
He’s all hat and no horse,
Detested in Houston, of course,
Where, instead of cheering the Astros, they booed the Cruz.

An Evil Place

November 2, 2022 Buck Banks

They joked and mocked when Paul Pelosi was attacked,
They deleted their mean tweets, but did not retract.
It seems that Republicans
Have devolved into subhumans
Inhabiting an evil place from which they can’t come back.

One-Sided Violence

October 31, 2022 Buck Banks

Violent rhetoric is like a rising tide,
And it’s put our democracy in a downward slide.
Republicans say, “Look,
That guy was a kook!”
But where is the violence on the Democrats’ side?

McCarthy’s Ukraine Mess

October 27, 2022 Buck Banks

Seems Kevin McCarthy’s had a change of heart,
Claiming his defund Ukraine comment was a brain fart.
And while Republican chicken hawks
Love to strut, bluster and squawk,
They still prefer to support wars that they start.

GOP Quislings

October 21, 2022 Buck Banks

While in Ukraine there’s still fightin’ and shootin’,
A midterm win’s what the GOP is computin’.
If they take back the Congress,
When it comes to the Ukraine mess,
The Republicans will hand a win to Vlad Putin.

He’s No Ferengi

October 20, 2022 Buck Banks

Donald Trump’s fundraising chops once were sublime,
But it seems donor fatigue’s set in over time.
Nowadays he spends a fortune
To generate a tiny profit margin.
It’s like he’s saying, “Hey buddy, give ya a dollar for a dime.”

Finger-Lickin’ Fascist
Buck Banks | Mar. 29, 2023

Like Rudi, maybe Ron should compete on “The Masked Singer.”
That might dispel the strong scent of fascism that lingers.
But one thing we know about DeSantis —
Just like a hungry praying mantis,
He likes to eat chocolate pudding with his fingers.

Verbatim

    “This has to stop now. This is bad for business and there is a lack of understanding what is happening in these shows. The audience is furious and we are just feeding them material. Bad for business.”

    — Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott in an email to Meade Cooper, executive vice president of prime time programming, regarding correspondent Eric Shawn fact-checking then-President Donald Trump’s lies after the 2020 election, reports CNN.

    “I don’t remember ever doing that, I’m telling you. Maybe when I was a kid. It’s interesting, there’s a lot of people, when they go at you, sometimes they have really good ammunition, like you’re a crook, you did this, you did that. For me, they’re talking about pudding. Really? Is that the best you got? Bring it on!”

    – MAGA Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis denying reports that he eats pudding with three fingers.

    “I have gone the full extent of my executive authority, to do on my own anything about guns. The Congress has to act. The majority of the American people think having assault weapons is bizarre, a crazy idea. They’re against that.”

    — “President Biden said that he’s exhausted what he can do through executive action on gun control as he called on Congress to act following the nation’s latest mass shooting,” USA Today reports.

    Comment » 

    “If we really want to keep our children safe, we need to spend less time banning books and more time stopping the horrific gun violence in our schools.”

    — Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), on Twitter.

    Comment » 

    “The clips and headlines coming out of the rally were enough to incite panic in any Republican concerned about the party’s ability to defeat President Joe Biden. The current president should be extremely politically vulnerable: Inflation is still hurting voters and some economists are predicting a recession. And yet, rather than attack Biden for those weaknesses, Republicans are held captive to Trump’s grievances.”

    56%

    Gallup: “Americans are more likely now than at any time over the past five decades to say there is more crime in their local area than there was a year ago. … The 56% of U.S. adults who report an increase in crime where they live marks a five-percentage-point uptick since last year and is the highest by two points in Gallup’s trend dating back to 1972.”

    $15 million

    Florida is leaving up to $15 million in federal money on the table that could be used to fight gun violence, reports the Tampa Bay Times. Florida was one of only six states that did not receive funding through a new federal grant to help carry out emergency risk-protection programs. Such orders are used by law enforcement to temporarily seize guns from people suspected of being a danger to themselves or others.

    44%

    A new Monmouth poll finds 44% of Democrats do not want President Biden to seek re-election, even though 74% have a favorable opinion of him. Also interesting: 51% of the Democratic electorate cannot offer a name when asked who they would like to see as the party’s nominee if Biden does not run. Among those who do have a preferred alternative, Vice President Kamala Harris (13%) is the only potential contender who registers above single digits.
