Russian to Judgment

October 19, 2026 Buck Banks


The United States and Ukraine no longer seem to be in synch,
After Trump lifted Russia sanctions with a grin and a wink.
Trump coordinated it with Putin,
Who ramped up the drone shooting,
After Trump and Elon Musk throttled Ukraine’s Starlink.

Zacharia, We Hardly Knew Ya

October 16, 2026October 16, 2026 Buck Banks


Trump probably hired Katie Zacharia ’cause he thought she’s a cutie,
But there’s more to press secretary-ing than being a blonde beauty.
She wasn’t fully vetted,
Now her hiring is regretted,
So her tenure was short — she didn’t even last a full Scaramucci.*

*Anthony Scaramucci was press secretary in Trump’s first administration for 11 days.

Damsels in Distress

October 15, 2026 Buck Banks


As speculation about Susie Wile’s future in the Oval swirls,
The administration’s dominated by goons, baboons and churls.
Trump’s hirings and firings aren’t based on competence,
But are instead fueled by a Y-chromosome sixth sense:
See, in Trump Term 2, the only ones who get fired are the girls.

The ‘Dumb’ in Martyrdom

October 9, 2026 Buck Banks


For many, a televised execution‘s a nonstarter,
They wouldn’t watch with a spouse, son or daughter.
And by the way, Secretary Hegseth,
If you shoot Nidal Hasan to death
On live TV you’ll make him another Muslim martyr.

Grecian Palm Grease

October 9, 2026 Buck Banks


In the diplomatic ranks, trained professionals toil,
To keep the peace and tamp down foreign turmoil.
But for Greek ambassador,
Trump picked an artful dodger —
The grifting, drunken blackmailer Kimberly Guilfoyle.

Explaining the Inexplicable
Buck Banks | Sep. 28, 2026

JD Vance must wonder sometimes what he got himself into,
Following behind Donald Trump doing rhetorical jiujitsu.
Taking all the dumb lies Trump said,
And telling what Trump “meant” instead,
As the midterms loom, JD has a lot of “Vance-splaining” to do.

Verbatim

    “With the war it’s just artificial, it’s a little bit high, it’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They could take out a city. Let ’em take out Los Angeles. Let ’em take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay and it’s going to be over very soon. It’s essentially almost over with.”

    — President Trump, quoted by NewsNation.

    “The cesspit of corruption that is Donald Trump’s presidency is finally getting the attention it deserves. It’s about time. And if a massive blue wave sweeps Washington on November 3rd as polls now suggest, Democrats should put corruption front and center of their agenda in Congress. … The level of corruption that Trump has engaged in and enabled in others is completely unprecedented – self-dealing that, as Trump would say, is like nothing anybody has ever seen before.”

    — Paul Krugman

    “We’re not talking about socialists, these are communists, Marxists and anarchists. You got to be kidding. They want us to call them democratic socialists, there’s nothing democratic about these people.”

    — Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN), quoted by Fox News.

    63% to 38%

    KFF Poll: “With the 2026 midterm campaigns in full swing and early voting about to begin, there is a wide enthusiasm gap between partisan voters, with Democratic voters 25 percentage points more likely than Republican voters to say they are ‘more motivated’ than usual to vote (63% vs. 38%).”

    29,000

    Wall Street Journal: “The U.S. added 29,000 jobs in September, far short of expectations, in a sign that the labor market remains steady but may not be able to deliver consistent and sizable employment gains like it did in the past.”

    13%

    G. Elliot Morris: “Voters aren’t confused about the motive, either. 62% say Trump made the promise mainly to win votes in November, and only 13% think he genuinely intends to send the money. … Moreover, 71% of adults say it is inappropriate for a president to promise government payments that depend on his party winning an election, including 53% of Republicans.”

    “Donald Trump made over a thousand stock sales and purchases worth between $79m and $270m in July,” The Guardian reports. “His two largest sales were of Amazon and Microsoft stock, selling between $5m and $25m each on 20 July. That same day, he also sold up to $5m worth of Oracle and Costco stock, $500,000 to $1m in Nvidia, and bought up to $5m worth of shares in Intuit and Salesforce, among dozens of other transactions.”

    “The unprecedented spate of mid-decade redistricting for the U.S. House has changed the congressional districts for one-tenth of Americans and significantly altered the makeup of at least one-fifth of districts, according to a new study,” the Associated Press reports.
