NAILS FOR YOUR COFFIN, NAILS FOR YOUR COFFIN

You walked into the White House like you were striding onto a stage

Your red hat cocked above your eyes

Your makeup was orange rage

You had one on your daughter, but thought of your golden age

And all Repubs dreamed that they’d be your lover

They’d be your lover, Oh

You are scum

You probably think you’ll get away Scot free

You are scum (You are scum)

I bet you think you’ll always just win

Don’t you, don’t you?

 

You lied and cheated years ago when voters were all naïve

When you said that only you could fix things here and now you just will not leave

But you tried to end Democracy

And all your crimes we now see

Justice is coming with nails for your coffin, nails for your coffin and

You are scum

You probably think you’ll get away Scot free

You are scum (You are scum)

I bet you think you’ll always just win

Don’t you, don’t you?

Justice is coming with nails in your coffin, nails in your coffin and

You are scum

You probably think you’ll get away Scot free

You are scum (You are scum)

I bet you think you’ll always just win

Don’t you, don’t you?

 

Well, I hear you’re hiding at mar a lago

And holding court like you’re the king

And cheating when you play some golf

And repubs come to kiss your ring

Well, you’re where you should be until it’s time

But things will change real soon

And you must pay for your crimes, pay for your crimes

Pay, pay for your crimes, and

You are scum

You probably think you’ll get away Scot free

You are scum (You are scum)

I bet you think you’ll always just win

Don’t you, don’t you?

Justice is coming with nails for your coffin, nails for your coffin and

You are scum

You probably think you’ll get away Scot free

You are scum (You are scum)

I bet you think you’ll always just win

Don’t you, don’t you?

THE GIRL FROM MAR-A-LAGO

Pale and spooky and dumb and kooky

The girl that came from ivanka’s nooky

Is just as evil as daddy, and her two bros

 

But, although normal humans hate her

Her daddy says he would love to date her

And her sick hubby would not berate her

If he she chose

 

Lo, though she scares those around her

Most family members have crowned her

Treason and lies don’t astound her

For she’s lived with the grift and the crap

And any mark her dad treats as a sap

 

So,

Tall and ghostly

And odd but mostly

This wraith-like creature

Who should be toast, she

Is covering her bony ass

Against dad dt.

 

Saying she don't agree

With his big lie, you see

Hoping she can stay free

Distanced from old dt

No honor she...

MUSINGS ON SAYINGS

I've always enjoyed phrases that make you stop and think.

Here are a few oxymorons and silly sayings that I call:

'Lexicon-jobs.'

(Cue the drummer!)

"I heard you just had a little baby."

"Well, I'm married, so I already have a big baby!"

"Did you have a nice shower?"

"Nah, I decided to have an ugly one today!"

Big Pharma: "Do not take 'mxyplxt' if you are allergic to 'mxyplxt'.

"Why not? I love the way I look when my skin gets those bright red itchy polka dots."

"Have a headache?"

"No thanks, I already have one."

"If you cannot afford your drug, 'ABX' might be able to help you."

"Might??? JUST LOWER THE PRICE!"

"How about a spot of tea?"

"Uh, no thanks, I just cleaned this outfit."

Sports: "He's holding his own!"

He'd better be holding his own, or a fight could break out!

Lawn sign: "House for sale, By Owner."

As opposed to, "House for sale by neighbor down the block on the left. I hate the guy!"

Baseball: "The pitch was too high, for a ball."

Then what was it?

And of course, old favorites:

'Jumbo shrimp'

'Government Intelligence'

And sadly, 'Republican integrity'. 

SUFFER NOT JUST THE CHILDREN!

When a child brings home something a parent is proud of, such as an original drawing, or a great report card from school, it gets placed on the refrigerator. A friend, neighbor, or relative may spot it and comment, "You must be so proud."

And truth be told, the parent does feel a bit of pride, even if the item on display is not a Rembrandt or a piece of paper studded with "A"s.

After all, it represents the culmination, or at least the beginning of the journey toward what the parent had dreamed of for their child.

The parent, as mentor, has tried to point the offspring in the desired direction his or her entire life, and can now start to see the budding of their bidding, the fruits of their unselfish labor.

I wonder if the refrigerator in Mitch McConnell's home, or Ted Abbott's kitchen will display the achievements of the nurtured murderer of children in Uvalde, TX this week.

Will the headlines replace those of the deranged killer in a Texas church, or a Walmart?

Or will the photos of the grieving parents be tacked onto the appliance alongside the current massacre, leaving space for the next one, and the one after that, and on and on.

It is way past time for the Repub party to join the overwhelming majority of humans across America in their desire to end these senseless attacks on innocent men, women, and of course, children!

Take the bill, passed by the Democratic majority in the House, out of the freezer and place it on the table to be voted on!

Let the public see who is on the side of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, without fear of being gunned down in a movie theater, a church, a high school, or an elementary school, and which political party is, instead, in the pocket of the NRA!

Thoughts and prayers are not a substitute for seeing one's child grow up, get married, have children, and buy a house with a refrigerator upon which they can post wonderful works of art that rival a Picasso!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "WE" WHITE MAN?

Why does the US Constitution say, “We the people…” when the document really means “We, the white land-owning men…”?

You would have to get in your time machine, don your time appropriate garments and head back to 1775 Philadelphia for the answer.

Of course, the real answer lies many years, if not centuries or even millennia earlier when the ‘weaker sex’ relied on men to bring home the bacon, a beaver, or a buffalo and provide safety.

But before you make like Anne Boleyn, let me assure you this will not be a very long history lesson on the minority rule of men. It will merely be a roundabout way of showing that while ‘the squeaky wheel gets the oil’, ‘might makes right’ is still the rule.

There are several more aphorisms that could be used but after a while they may take the reader’s attention away from my purpose, so I’ll stop before it’s too late, and strike while the iron is hot!

(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

In law there is something called, ‘Adverse Possession’ which is generally used with regards to land ownership, but I will stretch it’s use a bit here for reasons which will become painfully clear.

Adverse possession states that if someone owns, or claims to own, or has in his possession, that which he was not originally entitled to, for a prolonged period, without dispute by the original owner, then ownership is given to the usurper.

The idea and practice comes from England, which just so happens to be where the United States came from.

So, where does adverse possession fit into the argument about “We the people”?

White, land-owning men have seemingly owned all other groups of human beings in America ever since arriving here from England, so, QED.

And since the above has only been disputed a handful of times, albeit successfully, the rule still stands and can be reinstated at any time!

Two such successful disputes involved 'squeaky-wheel' suffragettes, and equally 'squeaky-wheeled' African Americans marching for Civil Rights.

However, it now seems that the people noted in the Constitutionally cited, “We the People”, have decided that enough is enough.

They have started to rescind the hard-fought for and won rights of decades past.

Well, not all the “We the People´ have decided the above.

A mere five to four simple-minded; single-minded, simple majority on the Supreme Court of the United States is simply about to do so.

With a stroke of their conservative pen, those five individuals will strike down the first right from a list they should hold sacrosanct; that of women being allowed to control their own bodies.

The archaic reason is, after all, they have been possessions of white men since before this Nation even began and were merely on loan to themselves.

And once “We the People” have taken care of women’s health issues, their right to vote against their husband’s wishes could be next.

Rescinding the rights of those they consider inferior sects of our citizenry will follow, as all the dominoes will topple, and America will finally be ‘taken back’.

But no time machine is needed to stop that which would appear to be inevitable.

No new revolutionary war, or civil war be started, or rather continued.

The first shot heard round the world has been fired.

Now is the time for all good “We the People" - "All the People” to stand up and be heard before their voices are, like Poe’s Raven said, heard NEVERMORE!

GOP SPEAK

According to anyone in the know, words matter. But so do actions, intent, and votes!

Yet of all the above the one that has most consequence is actions!

The phrase that warns you to ‘watch what they do, not what say’, is more important these days than ever before.

The GOP says they are the party of freedom, then turn to their right and vote to remove your right to healthcare.

The GOP says the Democrats are the party of tyranny, then plan their next attack on your liberty.

The GOP claims that elections are being stolen from them, then legislate to gerrymander, redistrict, purge voter rolls, and generally make it harder for the ‘wrong’ people to vote!

And sadly, their tactics are working.

They have gotten so brazen that when a Repub candidate says ‘hello’ to a minority voter they’re really saying, ‘goodbye’!

The GOP playbook is straight out of Orwell’s 1984.

It is amazing to realize how far they have gone from the days of their sweet-talking, fast-talking “B” actor president Reagan who famously said, “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”

And by problem, Nancy’s husband was stating a fact about governance by the Repub Party ever since!

GOP speak has gotten so absurd that their last representative in the White House ran on the phrase, “Only I can fix it!”

He then proceeded to tear down this economy while building up a wall, to supposedly keep all our troubles away.

The ‘forget your troubles, come on get happy, method of ruling America proved to be as impotent as Reagans ‘trickle down economics’ plan for the middle class.

But they have gotten away with the gibberish and lies for too long.

If we wish to save our ship of state and right their 'wrongs' we must allow the Democrats to set us back in the right direction, as they have done so many times before.

The Democratic Party is the party of affordable healthcare for all.

The Democratic Party is the party of women’s rights.

The Democratic Party is the party of fair and honest elections.

The Democratic Party is the party of fiscal responsibility.

The Democratic Party is the party of children’s rights before and after they are born!

The Democratic Party is the party for the homeless.

The Democratic Party is the party of the majority of America.

And the Democratic Party is clearly the party of freedom for all citizens.

TRADITIONAL BALLAD OF djt

A grifter with a mouth untamed

Didst use it with a mob enflamed

And they with anger upon Congress came

And stormed that castle to kill and maim

And lo with order once restored

The grifter of his mob was bored

And hiding midst his stolen files

Close to coastal southern isles

Then those of his actions who did decry

Didst switch allegiance & spew his big lie

But now ‘tis time for those left behind

Make haste and be legally of one mind

Find nerve and yea I beseech the balls

Place these traitors behind prison’s walls!

WE THE PEOPLE???
