day SIX HUNDRED and FIVE

Crazy

Doubling down on cruel,

racist and stupid,

Klu-Klux-Klanner-in-Chief

bloviates via Twitter.

Calls for immediate deportations

of undocumented asylum seekers,

denying due process.

A clueless FLOTUS

negates her purported

compassionate field trip,

wins the Marie Antoinette tone-deaf award

by visiting child concentration camps

wearing a jacket bearing the slogan

I Really Don’t Care – Do U?

From coast to coast,

untethered authoritarianism

ignites growing bipartisan mutiny.

Awakened people of conscience

stand up, speak out,

refuse to accept one more extremist,

unconstitutional outrage.
