day ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED and FIFTEEN


Acquittal

“…a finding of not guilty…” —Dictionary.com

“McConnell and his craven Republicans established a precedent in which the president of the United States can do almost anything without being held accountable.”— Carl Bernstein


One by one, rethuglican lackeys
talk from both sides of their mouths,
admit the mango moron committed the crime
but that laws and the constitution
no longer matter.

After a kangaroo court
with no evidence, witnesses,
members of the brainwashed collective
eagerly fall into line,
lick the boots of their mob boss,
keep the senile pretender in power.

American citizens seethe.
Despise miscarriage of justice,
they vow to defeat and replace
every red troll,
deny Putin his victory,
bring regime change in November.

 --Jennifer Lagier
