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.
