GOP conventions always begin with lofty plans,
Though usually they wind up in places like Cleveland.
In sports or political chatter,
It’s the outcomes that really matter.
Cleveland may not get LeBron, but will settle for old white Republicans.
A king commanding Congress — an image quite surreal!
Though it’s a tempting fantasy, to see John Boehner kneel.
But a couple of executive actions
Don’t quite give us satisfaction,
And there’s not much about Obama that looks at all “imperial.”
If you’re down in the dumps and worried, feeling like we might be witnessing the end of the world as we’ve known it and there’s nothing we can really do about global warming and climate change, then you’ve got to watch this video. Seriously. Watch it now.
What’s a Fourth of July parade in Norfolk, Neb., without a racist, redneck float? The epitome of Cornhusker political commentary featured a pickup truck with a zombielike effigy of President Obama in overalls outside an outhouse with the words “Obama Presidential Library” on it.
To their credit, the commentators did spell all the words correctly, which means they are probably not Tea Party members.
The float apparently was approved by the parade organizers, the Odd Fellows Club, since it had an official float number in the windshield.
Pundits say that Trump’s $5,000 midterm bribe was an overreach,
And they agree that if lies were a crime, he’d be impeached.
Despite all the dividend promises he’s made,
The fact is, not one has ever been paid,
So even before the midterms, he already owes us $8,000* each.
*$5000 stimulus checks via “DOGE dividend”; $2000 stimulus checks via a “tariff dividend”; $1000-plus checks via “savings” from expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies
