Sometimes It’s the Reverse

February 28, 2017March 1, 2017 Buck Banks

The swaztikas are multiplying by ones and twos,
Jewish cemeteries are defiled, but there are no clues.
We don’t know who’s doing it,
But Trump says he’d bet it’s
Being done by none other than the Jews.

A Chillin’ Villain

February 28, 2017 Buck Banks

Alarmed at the growing sense of unrest,
Trump seeks to blame some singular pest.
As he casts about for a villain,
He lights on one who’s chillin’.
It is Barack Obama who’s behind all the protests!

Bombast and Bluster

February 28, 2017February 28, 2017 Buck Banks

Republicans are pinning their hopes on Trump’s speech,
That he won’t berate or conflate, but preach.
They’re hoping for direction.
Not chaos and confusion,
But we bet a sane, presidential address is simply out of reach.

It’s Soooo Complicated!

February 28, 2017 Buck Banks

Donald Trump says Obamacare is overrated,
Whereas the Republican approach is understated.
In a month he’s learned one lesson,
And about this he ain’t jestin’:
It’s that healthcare reform is really “complicated.”

Never-Ending Dividending
Buck Banks | Sep. 12, 2026

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
