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.
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.
Has there been a more precipitous fall than WaPo’s?
When will the capitulation ever end? Who knows?
When it’s Donald Trump you aim to please,
Focus on “free markets and personal liberties”
When writing editorials with the slogan, “Democracy Dies Under Bezos.”
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
