Context: Today, after weeks of moaning and complaining that there needed to be a defined open process for impeachment, the Democrats in the House brought a motion to define an open process for impeachment. Not a single Republican voted for the motion. NOTE: This was not a vote on impeachment. It was a vote to do what the Republicans had been asking for over the last few weeks. Their obsequious partisan fawning over a treasonous, cruel, inept President signals, I think, the death of the Republican Party.
UPDATE (1/29/2021). That was the context back then, when I didn’t think the Republican Party (I was born into a Republican family) would sink any lower. But I was wrong! Now, there are Senators and Representatives who claim to be Republican, who are openly lying about the election and some of whom went so far as to incite violence against the peaceful transition of power. Many embrace absurd conspiracy theories and openly call for the death of their political rivals. They openly support White Supremacists. A new verse or two needs to be added to the dingbat dirge they drone as over the cliff they happily plummet.
UPDATE (6/25/2022). Just when you are absolutely sure that the Trumputinists — who, by the way, are the *actual* RINOS — Republicans in Name Only — but that’s where we are — just when you’re sure that the Trumputinists cannot sink any lower — that they have licked the bottom of the septic tank and made themselves beholden to and in thrall of the very worst dregs of humanity and therefore must — positively must — be now on an upward trend, you discover, nope. They can sink still lower. The 1/6 Congressional hearings reveal that it wasn’t simply that an angry mob spontaneously tried to overthrow our government and replace it with a Trumputin dick-tatership — nope, it was *planned* to happen that way. The Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers didn’t even bother to listen to Trump’s rambling hate speech. They went, as planned, straight to the Capitol for recon & waited for his angry mob to show up to breach. Then, we discover that many if not all of the Trumputinists in Congress who voted not to certify the election were in on the coup plot! Then, just when you find it hard to even think about their treason without getting nauseous, you find that Extreme Court is in on the plot to destroy America as well! Recent rulings reveal Putin’s dual agenda: Divide the Country racially, economically, and by gender and at the same time flood the country with lethal weapons. That’s what the Trumputinists in the Extreme Court are up to.
UPDATE: August 27, 2022 Just as cancer of the body is ultimately self-destructive, so too is cancer of the society — AKA Fascism AKA Nazism AKA Trumputinism and sadly, at this point AKA the GOP which has indeed become a death cult worshiping the golden calf in the form of a fat, out of shape, old, bald white guy whose grasp on reality is non-existent. Yet, the Trumputinists are too cowardly to tell the truth — that the would-be emperor has no clothes — and no leg to stand on to defend his treasonous actions in stealing — yes stealing, not removing — TOP SECRET documents and then lying about it.
RIP GOP
I know a Grand Old Party
Who swallowed a lie.
Now, I don’t know why
They swallowed the lie.
Perhaps they’ll die.
I know of a Party
Who swallowed obstruction.
They swallowed obstruction to hide a base lie.
But I don’t know why
They swallowed the lie.
Perhaps they’ll die.
I know an old Party
Who’s now quite absurd,
They got absurd to hide obstruction.
They swallowed obstruction to hide the lie.
But I don’t know why
They swallowed the lie.
Perhaps they’ll die.
I know an old Party
That’s blind as a bat.
Think of that!
As blind as a bat.
They won’t open their eyes
Because they’d see lies.
But I can’t surmise why,
They swallowed the lie.
Perhaps they’ll die.
I know of a Party-
Who says they like dogs,
But they act more like hogs.
They pollute the sky;
They feed in their sty.
They swallowed the bat
(Think of that! To swallow a bat!)
To catch the absurd
Lies that they told.
Too afraid to be bold,
They embraced the absurd
To hide the obstruction.
They swallowed obstruction to hid the lie.
But I don’t know why
They swallowed the lie.
Perhaps they’ll die.
I know of a Party —
It’s full of old goats.
Truth gets stuck in their throats,
But I don’t know why,
They’d let our earth die.
To cover the lie
That hides the obstruction
That covers the lie?
But I don’t know why.
They swallowed that lie.
Perhaps they’ll die.
I know an old Party
Who once sued a cow
I don’t even know how
They once sued a cow.
They all swore an oath
To uphold the law.
But Barr and Mitch? They both
Said “naw, we’re now Putin’s kitsch.”
They swallowed their treason
The whole summer season.
They gave as the reason:
They swallowed the goat,
That caught in their throat.
They swallowed that goat,
To catch the dog.
Why such a hog?
To swallow a dog?
They swallowed a dog
To hide the absurd.
They claimed the absurd
To distract from obstruction,
They all know they heard.
They wouldn’t vote to protect our elections.
(Too worried about their own protections?)
They didn’t vote for needed construction.
But they swallowed obstruction
To hide the lie —
But I don’t know why
They swallowed the lie.
I know an old Party
Who swallowed a Trump.
Now it lies in the Dump.
As still as a Lump;
As dead as a Stump.
I know an old Party
Who lost an election.
And their teeny erection.
So they swallowed more lies
Adorned with sick flies
They brewed insurrection.
Without any reason,
They swallow his treason,
In every season.
They think a fascist state
Would help them masticate
The rotten meat of Putingate.
A party that once was grand and great.
Is now a mere degenerate.
RIP
GOP
(New Verses):
I know an old Party
Grown all fat and farty
Some love their beer and all fear the queer
They swallowed Trump’s lies
And covered their eyes
Held tight their noses
So poop on their faces
Might seem slightly less racist.
Lead Capitol tours for thug saboteurs
Said to women who get raped:
“Your vagina ain’t yours
We enslave you today!
If you’re poor or your black
We’ll place more on your back.
We cite the burners of witches
To prove you’re our bitches.”
But I don’t know why
GOP wants to die.
But they’ve gotten so bad
I’m not the least sad.
Treasonous cowards and traitorous sheep
They take the knife & plunge it deep
To stupid to see that when America’s dead
With a sulfurous head
Their own will be on the same chopping block.
The Civil War that they desperately seek
Won’t destroy just liberals or those who are geek.
The death will stink the entire landscape
The young and the old and most important of all
Even fertilized eggs will finally fall.
Not even the wealthy will find an escape.
Not a reasoning being on this planet earth
Can explain the cancerous GOP birth
That kills our sweet democracy
To replace with cruel theocracy.
I know an old party,
Who worships a warthog
Who cares not a whit
Instead he throws CONiption fit
Wallows in infinity snit
Trashes and thrashes both this way and that
Treasonous Season with no honest reason
Trumputinists dove through the deepest of slime
And just kept going double time
Silent as sin on sedition and crime.
Perhaps they’ll die.
I know of a Party
Who swallowed obstruction.
They swallowed obstruction to hide a base lie.
But I don’t know why
They swallowed the lie.
But now they can’t die.
‘Cause they’re already dead.
In the heart and the head
Just a cancerous mass
That’s a pain in the pass.
I know an old party
Who likes to like kids
In a way that’s not good
And how they should
They hide behind lies
Pretend they don’t see
They’re proud of their party
The Party is Not-See
Nor feel nor think nor build
Kill and steal is all they do
The bill is paid by me.
The bill is paid by you.
