To join Trump’s cabinet is to open oneself to ill-use and abuse,
They wanted power and prominence, and now they’re paying their dues.
They endure public humiliations
And suffer ongoing degradations,
But worst of all, they now have to wear those “goddamned Florsheim shoes.”*

Need a way around the Strait of Hormuz? Just ask Newt Gingrich.
We assume he didn’t know his repost was satire, which is rich.
He suggested dropping a few megatons,
And BOOM! Hormuz problem be gone!
Then you’d have a deep, wide and only slightly radioactive ditch.
As Trump & Co. press their war on Iran with relentless zeal,
Trump finds Marco Rubio’s “power free of principle” has appeal.
Rubio is taking his brand of neoconservatism,
And merging it with Trump’s transactionalism,
Creating regime compliance — not change — a “doctrine of destroy and deal.”
While Iran is closing down the Straits of Hormuz,
Trump’s buying cabinet members Florsheim shoes.
He’s not focused on the war,
But he’s on top of the decor,
Would someone please make Trump watch something besides Fox News?
At the Pentagon, the Fourth Estate is taking a battering,
With the top-tier media outlets reduced to woolgathering.
And as if to add insult to injury,
Pete Hegseth, in a narcissistic fury,
Banned photographers for taking photos he said were “unflattering.”
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.
