day ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED and EIGHT


Rearranging Deck Chairs on the S.S. Trumptanic

Fifty-one percent
of the American public
want Ginger Judas convicted,
frog-marched to prison, locked behind bars.

Rethug lawyers and toadies circle their wagons,
circumvent the Constitution,
whine and spew disinformation,
claim day is night, up is down.

Their goal is to normalize corruption,
obstruct justice, hold and abuse power,
replace republic with dictatorship,
disenfranchise voters, suck taxpayers dry.

They posture, lie, protect their mad leader,
double down on culpability,
reinforce white male privilege,
rubber stamp whatever nonsense they’re told.
