Poetic Justice
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
Verbatim
“The man is afraid of the voice of the people and that the people understand and know what he’s doing. He’s trying to stifle the ability of journalists to let the people of America know what’s really going on with their government.”
— “Kamala Harris called President Donald Trump’s ban of CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House ‘absolutely abhorrent,’” The Wrap reports.
“Not one of them is trained in technical skills. Not one research PhD, as opposed to China, where half the cabinet is science and technology PhDs. We’re led by grifters and fools.”
— Columbia professor Jeffrey Sachs, on X, on President Trump’s 35-person cabinet.
“Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far… The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today.”

Well its about time someone has finally publicly said it.
Somebody musta snuck up on poor old Harry Reid and goosed him unexpectedly with a HOT SHOT CATTLE PROD to get the old fart to spit that out.
Now wait for the retraction and apology which will be shortly forthcoming from Lieberman, Kerry, the Clintons, and John Kerry!
He is also the most evil, arrogant, vile, amoral, criminal, and sociopathic president ever.
However, as these traits apply in general to all the Republicans in Congress, it is difficiult to say he has distinguished himself.
Wasn’t it the Peter Principle that said “people will rise to their level of incompetence”?
He is also a war criminal who needs to be treated accordingly.
yeah , and half of the American population voted for that guy. don’t blame it on Bush he is the monkeyman, he don’t know better.
Busharaguans unite against this blashpemy. Is this what you gave your (poor) neighbors sons for? Somebody call Homeland Security! Mother Texas and her loyal American protectorates need to nuke somebody really brown over this. It will hasten the return of the Emir…I mean of the Lord.
This man is the worst president this country has ever had. I don’t think anyone will be as worse as Bush. This man has had us at war for years. And he keeps coming up with excuses as to why we are still in Iraq and Afghanistan! All of those soldiers killed and maimed at the hands of our President. The man is a joke! Bush a Pandora’s Box!
Anyone have any predictions as to when gas prices will go down? Maybe when Bush is out of office. You can spell Bullshit without Bush’s name being in the middle of it!
