day THREE HUNDRED and FORTY ONE

sarah huckabee sanders gets paid $165,000

to lie for donald trump

to stand there spewing bullshit for

an orange-colored monster

to berate the press and make up facts

about immigrants and visas

and whatever other crap she can stick to the wall

sarah huckabee sanders gets paid $165,000

to sell her soul from the moment

she wakes up until the moment she goes to sleep

to turn a blind eye to history

and democracy and the basic truth

satah huckabee sanders gets paid $165,000

to stand at a podium and not believe women

who’ve accused trump of sexual assault

to not defend senators when trump degrades them

to swim in a swamp of sewage this country may never drain

but sarah huckabee sanders gets paid $165,000

to have so-called liberal men

call her ugly and fat and a fucking whore online

to have so-called liberal men in the press

call her a “chunky soccer mom”

because so-called liberal men

still know how to use the patriarchy to their advantage

still sarah huckabee sanders gets paid $165,000

to be only the third woman to serve

as white house press secretary

and though i don’t have anything else nice

to say about her that’s a feat in and of itself

so the next time

that sarah huckabee sanders gets paid $165,000

to go on live television

and spew lies for trump and try to tell people

that he’s not a racist or encouraging violence

or is the secret grand wizard of the alt-right

i’ll just shut the tv off and think to myself

well…at least i found one good thing about her.
