Dishonest to a Fault

July 22, 2026August 11, 2026 Buck Banks


From Trump’s “stolen election” lies, we can’t get no relief,
He carps on about stolen votes, but he never names the thief.
Somebody needs to tell this guy
Americans aren’t buying his lies,
And that he’s turned us into the United States of Disbelief.

Modern Populism’s Cynicism

July 13, 2026August 7, 2026 Buck Banks


From Donald Trump the world’s modern populists are taking a cue,
When scandal erupts they dish out a helping of “deep state” stew.
If a cabal of elites attacks democracy,
The modern populists cry out “WWTD!”
For when globalists attack, modern populists ask, “What Would Trump Do?”

Ersatz Filial Piety

July 12, 2026July 31, 2026 Buck Banks


Eric Trump got the Palm Beach airport renamed in honor of his pop,
But the vain attempt to curry favor with daddy was bound to flop.
See, the logo Eric provided
Has now widely been derided
As just another instance of half-assed Trump-produced AI slop.

20 Minutes with Mitch

July 8, 2026July 24, 2026 Buck Banks


The recent news out of Kentucky was just awful,
They found the senator unconscious and horizontal.
And since his hospitalization,
There’s been little news about his condition,
But now everybody’s having a 20-minute conversation with Mitch McConnell.

Trump’s Tree Legacy

June 30, 2026July 22, 2026 Buck Banks


After Trump’s gone, how best to erase the legacy
Of all the stupid things he’s done to Washington, D.C.?
For one, every re-elected president,
Or newly elected White House resident,
Should cross to Lafayette Park and plant another maple tree.

Semiquincentennial Hell

June 26, 2026July 22, 2026 Buck Banks


The retooling of Trump’s Freedom 250, where will it end?
The has-beens set to play decided they’d rather not attend.
How best to celebrate our 250-year-old democracy,
As it’s being replaced by a Christo-fascist autocracy?
How about the national anthem as sung by Kash Patel’s girlfriend.

Greenland Plan Saves Brand

June 24, 2026July 13, 2026 Buck Banks


When Trump speaks of Greenland, he sounds like a mobster,
He just wants all their resources so his mob can prosper.
But appointee Dan Stans has another plan —
We get all their seafood when we take Greenland,
Then we revive “Endless Shrimp” and save the treasured Red Lobster.

A Four-Score Bore

June 19, 2026July 12, 2026 Buck Banks


Since 1984 Donald Trump has been known as a “short-fingered vulgarian,”
And he’s proven himself to be a comically cantankerous contrarian.
Last week he turned eighty,
And we all paid for his party,
So now he’s just a fat, old, cranky, sleepy, short-fingered octogenarian.

The Inflation Lover

June 17, 2026July 9, 2026 Buck Banks


Donald Trump, totally unsurprisingly, said, “I love the inflation.”
That puts him in a tiny minority of the general population.
Yes, he’s one of the billionaire elite,
Who don’t worry about having enough to eat,
And to whom “affordability” is just another liberal ideation.

Upstaging the Nation

June 9, 2026July 6, 2026 Buck Banks


All the “third-rate artists” bailed, so now it’s all up to Don,
But Trump is a consummate performer who is taking the baton.
He says he’s bigger than Elvis Presley,
So he’ll turn the 250 party into a political rally,
And one thing we know, no matter how lame, the Trump Show MUST go on.

    +175,000

    $4,600

    President Donald Trump is asking for $1,500,000 million for the military for next year. That’s close to $600 billion (adjusted for inflation) more than we were spending on the military in fiscal year 2025, before Trump took office, Alternet reports. This increase is huge by any measure. It comes to around $4,600 per household. It is around 8% of the total budget.

    61% to 35%

    Wall Street Journal: “Around 40% of voters in the 2024 election said the economy was their top issue, far outstripping any other matter. And those voters favored Donald Trump by 60% to 38%. Many say they were moved by his pledges to tame inflation, rebuild U.S. infrastructure, cut red tape and trim government waste. … About a year and a half later, more voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy than approve, 61% to 35%, an average of polls by the Cook Political Report found this month.”
