One Dummy Controlling Another

Mike Johnson,° do you like

Being Trump's dummy, for you persist

In letting him manipulate you?

He's not a subtle ventriloquist.

 

How he takes control of your mouth!

There is really no denying

That you say what he wants you to

And have become so good at lying.

 

For causing dysfunction and passing the blame,

You definitely have the knack.

Your smug appearance gives you the face

That many folks would love to smack.

 

The puppet master doesn't care

If you are making a bad impression

By not doing what should be your duty:

Calling the House back into session.

 

By failing to negotiate

And work with Democrats in the House

To end the shutdown, you would rather

Be Trump's little subservient mouse.

 

Can you tell us why you're being

So protective of pedophiles

That you will stop at nothing so as

Not to release the Epstein files?

 

You won't seat a newly elected

Member of Congress because you're afraid.

By hiding the truth for Donald Trump,

Once again, you come to his aid.

 

To let the shutdown be as painful

As possible must be your goal.

In Trump's disastrous puppet show,

Do YOU like having a starring role?

 

If he tossed you aside, we know

That THAT wouldn't go according to plan.

But would you lie there in a heap?

Or would you get up and be a man?

°Trump lackey and Speaker of the House

PEGASUS

Have you heard of Pegasus?°

I mean the spyware, not the horse.

For Trump's assault on our privacy,

It is merely a matter of course.

 

It's a sophisticated tool

Used for surveillance. Unlike drones,

It is used to spy on people

Simply by hacking into their phones.

 

Without your being aware of it,

The hacking's as easy as one, two, three.

The spyware infects your phone, and then

Say good-bye to privacy.

 

The hackers get into your phone by using

What's called a zero-click technique.

When they want to see what you're up to,

Well, they merely take a peek.

 

The spies have access to everything

That's on your phone. Oh, how handy!

They can use the information

However they want to. Ain't that dandy?

 

Knowing the program's deadly potential,

Biden had its usage banned.

He knew that in fighting opponents, a tyrant

Could use it to have the upper hand.

 

Trump reversed the ban! Surprised?

Just imagine: your device

Can now potentially be hacked

And all your data be seen by ICE.

 

Your own cell phone becomes a spy!

Imagine the giant database

The Trump regime can build on you.

Just think of what could then take place!

 

Update your operating system

Often, and also update your apps.°°

Be vigilant, and do not let

Our country's democracy collapse.

SNAP! And It's Gone!

Trump and fellow Republicans

Are spreading lies to get their way

And not funding programs that help

Americans who are struggling today.

 

They blame the Democrats for shutting

The government down and hope they'll cave.

Republicans, by cutting programs,

Are only digging a giant grave.

 

One of the programs in jeopardy

Is assistance that we call SNAP.°

By doing away with it, they widen

America's economic gap.

 

SNAP puts food on tables and helps

Smaller businesses survive.

Once again, as people suffer,

More million- and billionaires thrive.

 

To add insult to injury,

Government websites are spreading lies

And violating the Hatch Act,°°

Which happens to come as no surprise.

 

Trump's major concern right now

Is building a ballroom while people are hurting.

To end the shutdown, we can see

The zero effort that he's exerting.

 

And why are we sending billions of dollars

To bail out Argentina, while here

Many people are suffering?

Oh, well, the answer is clear:

 

Trump thinks only about himself,

And his priorities are skewed.

As long as he can make a deal,

He doesn't care if people get screwed.

Recruiting for ICE

Looking for a job?

One that's really nice?

Then step right up and join the team

Simply known as ICE.

 

Got a record maybe

That's disqualifying?

That's no problem. Just be good

At bullying and lying.

 

Cannot pass a drug test?

Something's got you hooked?

That's all right. We will let

That be overlooked.

 

Are the academic

Requirements too tough?

We'll take that into account

And waive them. Good enough?

 

The physical requirements:

Too hard? That's okay.

When you do your pull-ups, we

Will look the other way.

 

Is one of your talents

Harassment? Then, of course,

You will fit right in, for you

Can use excessive force.

 

The ICE directors want

You to serve with pride

While YOU'RE inflicting pain upon

The people nationwide.

 

If you have a conscience,

Leave it, please, at home.

You won't need it when you serve

The likes of Kristi Noem.°

 

If roughing people up

Lifts your spirits high,

Then ICE needs you to terrorize

The nation. Come apply.

°Secretary of Homeland Security

Good-bye, East Wing

The Rose Garden disappeared first;

The East Wing has left us now.

Say good-bye, auf Wiedersehen,

Au revoir, adiós, and ciao.

 

The king requires no approval.

He can do whatever he chooses.

As he demolishes history,

He gets his way; America loses.

Despite the fact the people are struggling

To make ends meet and feeling despair,

The king is bailing out other countries

And spending money 'cause he doesn't care.

 

If he doesn't like you, watch out.

If the king thinks you're his foe,

He'll order his henchmen to find you, and then

Into the dungeon you will go.

But if you are a criminal--

Base and vile--whose heart has hardened,

Pretend that you admire the king,

And, lo and behold, you'll be pardoned.

 

If you're on a boat on the ocean,

He won't give it a second thought:

There's no need for captures and trials;

He'll have you killed right there on the spot.

 

Back in the past, some of his current

Sycophants wouldn't go near him.

Now they grovel, kiss his ring,

And do his bidding because they fear him.

 

With tacky trinkets surrounding him

Within the Oval Office, he

Makes his decrees, ignores the laws,

And rules by revenge and sophistry.

 

What will the king demolish next--

More institutions, legal protections,

Jobs, healthcare, social security,

Income for farmers, or fair elections?

Inadvertent Honesty

After the recent protests, Trump--

In typical Trumpian fashion--showed

How much he cares about the people.

Another obnoxious episode.

 

He posted a video of himself--

Generated by AI--

Sitting in a fighter jet

And dropping feces from the sky.

 

As people are marching down below,

He is gleefully dropping poop.

His disgusting lack of taste

Shows how low the man will stoop.

 

Unable to handle criticism,

He thinks that he'll excite his base;

Although, in actuality,

He merely proves that he's a disgrace.

 

However, for ONCE he's being honest

In what he's posting for all his dears,

For he's been crapping on all of us

Americans for many years.

October 18, 2025

Once again, millions of us

Took to the streets, undeterred

By threats and intimidation from Trump

Who didn't want our voices heard.

 

Violent insurrectionists

And thugs and terrorists in the extreme--

That's what we are to Donald Trump

And to his fawning admin team.

 

According to them, we are Marxists

Who hate the country. It's a game

That they are playing to dupe the people,

And it is a real shame.

 

We weren't invading the Capitol,

Attacking cops and storming the halls,

Yelling threats and racist slogans,

And defecating on the walls.

 

We protested peacefully.

It's NOT the country that we hate--

We hate the growing autocracy

That Trump and his sycophants celebrate.

 

We want to preserve the rule of law

And keep the freedoms to which we cling.

We want checks and balances

And NOT to be run by an insecure king.

 

Trump dislikes it when we say

We're anti-fascist. I wonder why.

Could it be because it hits

Too close to home? My, oh, my!
