Who’s Got the Button?
“Go nuclear!” said the Trump to McConnell,
If his SCOTUS choice the Democrats do throttle.
With bravado and bluster —
Poof! No more filibuster!
Let’s just hope Trump doesn’t lead by example.

A Canticle for Arnold
Since Ike, every president’s had a National Prayer Breakfast,
But to date only one’s talked about “Celebrity Apprentice.”
Trump’s lamentations on its ratings
Were especially grating,
But his prayer for Schwarzennegger was just the tackiest.
Melania In Absentia

And her early absence from Trump’s side augurs ill.
Trump knows he’s uncouth
And we suspect he suspects, forsooth,
That Melania just ain’t First Lady material.
Ryan Speaks More with Trump than Obama — Duh!

Needless in D.C.
Donald Trump says we don’t need the Mexicans.
Mike Flynn says we don’t need the Iranians.

Gorsuch? Not Much.
Following a weekend of travel-ban outrage,
Trump tried to make us feel somewhat encouraged.
But liberals can’t expect much
From conservative Neil Gorsuch,
Though he promised “Impartiality and independence, collegiality and courage.”
