Byrdwatching

Justice for Ashli Babbitt? Hey, not here–
where murderers of unarmed girls are lauded
on both sides of the aisle. Inspiring fear
in citizens who know they’ve been defrauded
is good for politicians, blue of course,
but also red: there’s not much clear distinction.
One group wails Satan’s slogans till it’s hoarse,
one sucks up ill-shed blood, but by intinction.
Yes, over here that bastard Michael Byrd
is in the clear and widely celebrated.
Amongst the ruling class, no wrath is stirred.
Instead, those who complain are fiercely hated.
But elsewhere in the world, Byrd, folks are pissed–
and Comrade Putin has you on his list.

On the Moral Courage of Chris Christie

On the Moral Courage of Chris Christie

I never liked Chris Christie, I can say
with utter honesty. So when he cries
to bogus heaven for those Hohol guys,
I know he’s being fat, and fake, and gay.
Nor does Trump, whom I have liked, think my way.
Maybe he isn’t buying all the lies–
but he’s not praying that Zelensky dies
the way that I am. Ain’t no shades of gray
for me. I am on Mother Russia’s side
and think that Comrade Putin is a saint.
May NATO, now outmoded, be defied!
May history choke off the loud complaint
of every neo-con! Some have replied,
“You’re kidding, aren’t you, Riley?” No, I ain’t.

Counter-Reparations

Counter-Reparations

Some GOP clown calls for reparations
of his own. He repeats the stupid lie
about why all those Yankees had to die.
“To free the slaves!” he says. Such obfuscations
can’t hide the fact that Lincoln’s calculations
were otherwise. Such fictions cannot fly.
Why do these propagandists even try?
Can’t they anticipate the complications?
The war was fought to crush the independence
of any state that dared to raise its head
and not just join Leviathan’s attendants.
The Yankee plan: to rule the South through dread
and subjugate fierce liberty’s descendants.
The cause of freedom afterward was dead.

Wave Goodbye

Wave Goodbye

The Red Wave didn’t happen. No surprise
To me. It was a prophecy too good
For zombies such as us to realize.
We ain’t in no triumphant neighborhood.
Progressives cheated, sure. We knew they would.
But did they need to cheat to hold at bay
The promised wave? As if mere cheating could!
Truth is that cheating’s just the game they play.
They have to keep in practice. But today
It’s clear, if it was not quite clear before,
That, ever since the Blue Boys beat the Gray,
This country’s been an unrepentant whore.
Since then, there never has been power to save
In any damn imaginary wave.

Concerning Arms and Legs

Concerning Arms and Legs

Asked about arms and legs, abortionists
Are pissed that such a question should arise.
Their little hands they tighten into fists.
A hot flame flares behind their angry eyes.
Republicans must learn to recognize
That facts aren’t facts and can’t be certified.
When fetuses are slaughtered, no one dies.
Dismemberment, once earnestly decried,
Does not occur. And terms thus misapplied
Give grave offense to baby-killing docs.
Also, please now acknowledge on your side
That men have wombs and women can have cocks.
If you will not say this, you’re right-wing fools.
You will be judged by non-judgmental rules.

Official Republican Response

Official Republican Response

No, we don’t want to date you, you dumb cunt.

If we did, we would ask your price up front.

–Tom Riley

(AOC thinks Republicans want to date her.)

Cheneygasmic!

Cheneygasmic!

Unlike Kamala, Liz sucks no cock.
Up her ass she feels no phallic shock.
Is there joy on her face?
She’s betraying the base!
This alone makes her shudder: “Let’s rock!”

Return to Normal

Return to Normal

 

Back to GOP standard, alas!
Officeholders pretend they’re high class,
Dignified through and through—
Although that’s hard to do
With a Democrat prick up your ass.

Georgia Turns Blue

Georgia Turns Blue

 

RINOs backed China Joe and his whore
After Trump seemed to say: This is war!
Chumps would not get excited—
And the Left was delighted.
They got right to work stealing some more.

Defection Direction

Defection Direction

 

Stephen Schmidt has turned Democrat? Well,
He was trending that way, we could tell,
Since he lied for McCain.
The news causes no pain.
We Republicans think that it’s swell.
