McConnellCare Postponed

Defeat or Retreat?  What’s the Death Panel say, Resuscitate or Cremate?  

They claim to be fixing our healthcare

Negotiations are at a point where

They’re forced to delay,

And I’m one to say

There isn’t a whole lot of care there. 

My rhyming dictionary only gives 3 rhymes for ealth, how could I pass up the opportunity?

To insure our best prospects for health

They’ll cut taxes for people of wealth

With attempts to conceal

The details of the deal

They wrote it with absolute stealth.

The Sessions’ Sessions

I really don’t recall anything so vapid after such a build up.  Are Ignorance, Memory Loss and Evasiveness longstanding Department of Justice policies that might or might not be written down somewhere?  Maybe someone could research that?  We know about the current Attorney General’s longstanding policies toward women and minorities.

Harris and Warren are PerSisters

Silenced by Cease and Desisters

They wished to say more

Were shut down on the Floor

By We-Run-The-Show-Ladies Misters.

I didn’t know that ‘sistere’ is ‘to stop’ in Latin.  And despite its origin hysterical is a neutral term, according to CNN commentators who used the word to describe Kamala Harris.

Harris questioned with unhurried pace

Polite and not out of place

But Sessions, who flustered

And McCain, who then blustered

Were the hysterical ones in this case.

Mission Accomplished

At the rate he’s passing legislation and getting things done he’ll be able to take the summer off.  And won’t it be nice when global warming makes summers last much longer.

Was this supposed to be Group Therapy?  - ‘let’s go around the table and say something nice about the guy who hired you and will fire you if you don’t.’

The Cabinet convened just to praise him,

That he asked to be praised didn’t faze him

It’s what he wanted to hear

And he grinned ear to ear

His accomplishments always amaze him.

He’s accomplished more than anyone, and he’s new to the job.

I think I’ll book Carnegie Hall

Though my musical skill may appall

Bad reviews won’t offend me

Paul Ryan will defend me

“He is just new to it all.”

 A Dive Back into the Swamp

I tried staying away from Politics, but it’s so all consuming.

The stories the media’s presenting

Are depressing, bizarre, unrelenting

They are sifting through bull

From a Twittering mogul

Who claims that he’s Presidenting.

The biggest source of #FakeNews?

His unfiltered spontaneous views

His must-see TV

His grandiose fantasy

Devoid of the truth he eschews.
