The Shutdown Clowns

November 10, 2025 Buck Banks


For 40 days and 40 nights, it looked like democracy might be saved.
The Democrats were united while the Republicans just looked depraved.
But faced with the GOP’s lust for cruelty,
Out the window went party fealty,
And without a concession or compromise, eight cowardly Democrats caved.

Timid Titans Temporize

September 26, 2025 Buck Banks


Capitulating to Trump requires an act of moral desertion;
It just emboldens the bully to double down on intimidation.
Look, bending a knee
Will not set you free,
It just encourages Trump to commit greater acts of extortion.

The Silent Republicans

February 2, 2017March 17, 2017 Buck Banks

As the Trump bulldozer buries the weak,
And havoc and chaos he continues to wreak,
Where are the disciples
Of Republican principles,
And why don’t they stand up and speak?

Dishonest to a Fault
Buck Banks | Jul. 22, 2026

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.

    $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.”
