Semiquincentennial Hell

June 26, 2026July 22, 2026 Buck Banks


The retooling of Trump’s Freedom 250, where will it end?
The has-beens set to play decided they’d rather not attend.
How best to celebrate our 250-year-old democracy,
As it’s being replaced by a Christo-fascist autocracy?
How about the national anthem as sung by Kash Patel’s girlfriend.

Greenland Plan Saves Brand

June 24, 2026July 13, 2026 Buck Banks


When Trump speaks of Greenland, he sounds like a mobster,
He just wants all their resources so his mob can prosper.
But appointee Dan Stans has another plan —
We get all their seafood when we take Greenland,
Then we revive “Endless Shrimp” and save the treasured Red Lobster.

A Four-Score Bore

June 19, 2026July 12, 2026 Buck Banks


Since 1984 Donald Trump has been known as a “short-fingered vulgarian,”
And he’s proven himself to be a comically cantankerous contrarian.
Last week he turned eighty,
And we all paid for his party,
So now he’s just a fat, old, cranky, sleepy, short-fingered octogenarian.

The Scum Abides

June 18, 2026 Buck Banks


As building continues, resistance rises against Trump’s ballroom,
And his name on the Kennedy Center has been judicially doomed.
Seems the only things he’s really good at
Are boldfaced lying and wearing his MAGA hat,
Oh, and filling the Reflecting Pool with scummy green algae blooms.

The Inflation Lover

June 17, 2026July 9, 2026 Buck Banks


Donald Trump, totally unsurprisingly, said, “I love the inflation.”
That puts him in a tiny minority of the general population.
Yes, he’s one of the billionaire elite,
Who don’t worry about having enough to eat,
And to whom “affordability” is just another liberal ideation.

Elon’s Evil Intervention
Buck Banks | Oct. 27, 2026

Elon throttled Starlink because Ukranians were killing Russians,
But by throttling it, Elon enabled Russians to kill Ukranians.
So the world’s richest, weirdest guy,
Gets to decide who lives and who dies?
That’s too much power in the hands of a dude who wants to be a Martian.

    “Stephen Miller is a stone-cold racist. His track record speaks for itself, and I’ve got zero interest in working with that kind of individual.”

    — “House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller a ‘stone-cold racist’ and said he can’t work with him,” Punchbowl News reports.

    “Take, for example, the French Revolution. Remember when Marie Antoinette said, ‘Let them eat cake’? Now, is that a problem of accountability and tyranny, a corrupt government? Or is it a problem of affordability and standard of living? It’s both! Authoritarianism and tyranny are extremely expensive for the people. And it’s the exact same thing when you go down the line with Donald Trump. So, are we going to go after the corruption? Yeah, you’re damn right. And are we going to go after affordability and making people’s lives easier? Yeah, you’re damn right. We’re going to do both of them.”

    — Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), quoted by CBS News.

    “Here’s the problem with the red meat: It becomes an addiction. Once you go there and you put that out there, then you’re forced to defend it. So what do they do? They double down. They triple down again.”

    — Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed (D), quoted by the Washington Post, on Republicans relying on anti-Muslim attacks in the Michigan U.S. Senate race.

    .4%

    <2>U.S. inflation was higher than expected last month as the rising prices that powered sweeping Democratic victories in last week’s midterm elections appear likely to pose ongoing challenges for the White House and the Federal Reserve, the Associated Press reported. The consumer price index rose 0.4% from September to October, the Labor Department said Tuesday, down from 0.6% the previous month. The government did not report a yearly inflation rate because last year’s government shutdown meant no data was released for October 2025. But excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core prices rose 0.3%, the same as the preceding month. Both figures were a tenth of a point higher than forecast, and at an annual rate would be well above the Fed’s 2% target.

    32%

    President Donald Trump’s approval rating held near the lowest level of his political career, depressed by national concerns over rising prices that tanked his Republican Party in last week’s midterm elections, according to ?a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Monday. Some 32% of Americans approve of Trump’s performance ?in the White House, unchanged from two prior Reuters/Ipsos polls conducted between late ?October and early November. It was one percentage point higher than his 31% rating ?in a Reuters/Ipsos poll in mid-October, the lowest of his career in politics, reported Reuters.

    3,824

    A record number of women are running for state legislative seats this November, more than two-thirds of whom are Democrats, reports Florida Phoenix. Across the 46 states with legislative seats on the ballot, a total of 3,824 women are running — up from 2022’s previous record of 3,621 women candidates, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. Women make up 35.5% of all state legislative candidates this cycle. Currently, women hold about one-third of state legislative seats across the country — a record level of representation but nowhere near parity.

    $1.4 billion

    “Prediction markets about the 2026 midterm elections have surpassed $1.4 billion in trading volume as Election Day fast approaches,” CNN reports. “This year has seen massive growth in the prediction industry, where people can bet on real-world events like sports, entertainment and the weather. While small-scale election markets have been around for a while, they gained traction before the 2024 presidential election and have seen huge numbers for the 2026 midterms.”

    -35 points

    G. Elliot Morris: “Low-knowledge 2024 voters say they backed Trump by 8 points, according to our poll. Today they give him a net job approval of ?27, a 35-point shift. Compare that to Trump’s approval rating among voters who got both questions right: These voters backed Harris by 1 point and now give Trump a net ?24 approval, a 23-point shift. … Low-information voters have moved against Trump at a higher rate than high-information voters, by 12 points.”
