“Promises were broken, debt was imposed, dictatorships were supported and natural resources were depleted.”

–The United States. Or, according to Paul Farmer, Haiti.

The US Congress has been working intermittently but receiving full pay from 2020 to date. It seems there is taxation without representation here, what with Congress’s absence. This is an insult to all Americans who are not tax cheats.

In 2020, there was a lockdown due to a pandemic. Now the excuse is the disputes over funding of militaries under the president’s command. However, as should be well known, there are a total of five hundred thirty-five (535) elected officials in the US House and Senate, who have the power to impeach one (1!) president and also remove him from office altogether. He has been impeached twice before.

What might be the reasons for Congress’s failing to curb the president’s abuses of power in the past year alone?

• Greed (profiteering) of powerful members of Congress?
• Power hunger? (desire for reelection)
• Fear of doxing or death threats? (Congress members are allocated taxpayer dollars for security.)
• Lack of time? (If it’s important, you make time; if not, you make excuses.)
• Fear that the vice president who replaces the president would lack the talents and skills required to lead the country? (With his dementia, the president is becoming a useful idiot to his handlers, so that argument is invalid.) Anyway, it’s debatable whether it matters, who’s in charge of the country– this capitalist tool, or that capitalist tool.

How about, all of the above? The solution: Vote these slackers out of office, if they’re running again!

Here’s what most Democrat Congress members are singing now.

SHUTDOWN

sung to the tune of “Small Town” with apologies to John Cougar Mellencamp, and to whomever else the rights may concern.

Of-course I love the shutdown. I get full pay during the shutdown. We know why there’s a shutdown. Oh, there are secret unities.

Blame the GOP for the shutdown. My power is nil in this insane shutdown. My job’s easy in shutdown, while others work for free.

We’re-manipulative in the shutdown. Taught to fear DHS in the shutdown. I keep Instagramming, IN the shutdown, another social media fanatic, that’s me.

But I’ve seen the US fall in the shutdown. Having myself a ball in the shutdown. Arrogant Trump’s gall brought on THIS shutdown, he loves the shutdown, just like me.

No, I cannot forget where my votes and money come from. I get upset by the people who judge me. I’M not the one who’s prolonging the shutdown. People won’t let me be. They keep HOUNDing me.

We are against DHS in the shutdown. My paid vacation’s enough to say, let’s continue this shutdown. Senior leaders say shutdown, until we get back, democracy.

Well, of-course I love the shutdown. We all have phony outrage in the shutdown. People are dying in the shutdown. All I care about is me.

The most serious general action American “president” Trump has taken is to repeatedly ignore the rule of law. No, it’s not the Holocaust, but its negative impact on American society will be felt for decades to come.

What happened in Haiti in the late 1980’s is somewhat analogous, albeit on a smaller scale, to what is happening in the United States in the Trump Era. In Haiti, frontier justice punished some of the perpetrators of horrific crimes. In the Holocaust’s aftermath, the civilized world was so traumatized trying to process unspeakable horrors, that with its use of inefficient civil law to enforce rule of law, only a tiny percentage of the perpetrators were punished. Most Nazis melted into the general population, and were never caught.

Trump’s henchmen who are committing acts of vicious political retaliation and targeting foreigners for rough treatment, will probably never be punished. Additional insults to all law-abiding Americans include:

• Untold taxpayer-dollars are wasted in countless ways– to line the Trump gang’s pockets in his attempts to dominate the world and immortalize his name.
• Secrecy allows him and his henchmen to evade accountability for all their wrongdoing. Closed hearings, documents with redactions and refusal to release files are just a few of their tactics, along with total media manipulation. When there was frontier justice in a few recent shooting incidents– most against Trump’s side– law enforcement pulled a “Jack Ruby.” So even frontier justice is an insult to all law-abiding Americans in the Trump Era, due to secrecy.

One hopes another Bonfire of the Vanities is on the way (the Tom Wolfe version).

Here’s a little ditty about yet another of Trump’s infinite actions, that is an insult to all law-abiding Americans. It’s what Trump is singing.

TAKING IRAN OUT

sung to the tune of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” with apologies to whomever the rights may concern.

I’m-taking Iran out in the oil game,

making out with my crowd.

Defying strategists and black ops facts.

I don’t care if I forever get flak.

I’ll root, root, root for my Trump team.

We always win with no shame.

For I know, this is, my last hurrah in the old oil game.

The USA needs the actual, physical presence of a lucid and sane (not to mention, ethical!) leader, to return the nation to rule of law. This involves checks and balances on power, and due process. Not the same as law and order, which involves punishment and deterrence, fear and force. Of late, law and order has become misguided and excessive.

As usual, the “president” (senile Donald Trump) is bragging, and spouting: denials, proclamations, decrees, threats and pardons, and singing the following rubbish.

CRINGEWORTHY

sung to the tune of “Cracklin’ Rosie” with apologies to Neil Diamond and to whomever else the rights may concern.

Cringeworthy are the peasant HORDES.

I’m gonna take ICE as far as it will go. My legend will grow.

I’m your-overlord, you know.

I’ll have me a time with my power escalating.

Hitchin’ on twilighting states.

Everyone gets detained for every wrong, a law-and-order song.

Everything I want.

Get on your knees when you’re handled by my goons.

Oh, I love my low-down guile.

The money always makes me happy.

I love to see my rank and file.

Cringing hordes, you’re my hard-fought summit.

You’re making my realiTY-show from it.

So keep watching me. My name keeps running on.

Pay me now! Pay me now! Pay me now! My gravy.

Perverting laws makes me smile. The word is, I can make you cower.

Yes, that’s right. I’m all spite. I rule the Right.

Fox is so green it don’t ask hard questions, yeah!

When workers are responsible for leading a sprawling entity, where people’s lives or livelihoods hang in the balance, there can be extracurricular activity because no one is minding the store.

It appears that such is currently the case with regard to president Donald Trump, who is showing signs of dementia. The nation is rudderless for the next three years.

Two particular cautionary tales in the United States come to mind in connection therewith. The top leaders got blamed because one thing led to another on their watch, due to their impaired brain function. Even so, no one person, not even the top leader is entirely to blame when things go wrong.

Into the early 1980’s, senile Bill Paley, head of the international corporation CBS, would come into board meetings with a walker and two nurses by his side. Since he wasn’t truly running the company anymore, a rogue department at CBS, having zero experience, decided to try to make movies. That division generated disastrous losses that resulted in layoffs in unrelated departments, causing trauma for all stakeholders associated with CBS.

In the late 1980’s, senile president Ronald Reagan’s CIA director Bill Casey– whose mental faculties were worsening due to a brain tumor– allowed Oliver North to go rogue– play a large role in secretly selling weapons to Iran– supposedly an enemy of the United States. Reagan then diverted the arms-sales proceeds to help the Contras in Nicaragua. Reagan was accused of abusing his presidential powers by failing to get Congress’ permission for either endeavor.

In both of the above instances, there would have been a lot less trouble had the leader been removed when his incompetence due to reduced brain function became evident. Of course, the GOP and Fox News scream that the mental incompetence of his predecessor Joe Biden, was hushed up for three years– but they knew, and let Biden stay in power!

Here’s a song that Trump is singing to his vice-president, JD Vance. Trump’s still in power, despite the infinite number of reasons that numerous people feel that he should never have become president in the first place!

Trump is still keeping his job as president, and controlling his underling.

JD VANCE

sung to the tune of “Carrie Anne” with apologies to the Hollies, and to whomever else the rights may concern.

Hey JD Vance.

Hey JD Vance.

In my thousand-year rule, our games are simple.

I play the dictator, you play the messenger.

I HAVE-you play with my billionaire boys and diplomats.

We act like frat boys in what we’re doing.

Hey JD Vance, Trump’s your game now. I control your play.

Hey JD Vance, Trump’s your game now. I control your play.

You’re always, a useful idiot to me.

Never independent. Never daring.

You’re my PR arm as I am aging. There’s always attraction in what I’m doing.

Hey JD Vance, Trump’s your game now. I control your play.

Hey JD Vance, Trump’s your game now. I control your play.

You go, go to cover for me. Go to cover for me. Go, go, go, go to cover for me, cover for me.

Hey JD Vance, Trump’s your game now. I control your play.

Hey JD Vance, Trump’s your game now. I control your play.

Sheeple never learn so they’re still burning.

My pockets are lined and I’m a force of nature.

When democracy’s over, you’ll be rich-with me,

but then you WILL, still, hear me saying,

Hey JD Vance, Trump’s your game now. I control your play.

Hey JD Vance, Trump’s your game now. I control your play.

JD Vance. JD Vance. JD Vance.

This is what president Donald Trump is singing in the throes of his dementia.

RIGHT-WING HATE

sung to the tune of “Norwegian Wood” with apologies to the Estate of John Lennon, Paul McCartney and to whomever else the rights may concern.

I, still have the world, or should I say, it still has me.

I’ll, own all states soon.

Isn’t it great, Right-wing hate?

You’re going to beg me to stay,

and my name will be everywhere.

I’m litigating ’cause my foes are so unfair.

I’m, planning with Musk, biding my time, tweeting his lines.

We, talk of our coup, and then he says, I need my meds.

He told me his AI does porn and started to laugh.

I said I hope you skate, but I am taking a bath. And no one need vote.

This is my throne. Fox echoes my tone.

Oh, liberals are liars. Isn’t it great, Right-wing hate?

A study cited in Dan Pink’s book entitled When asked different groups of subjects to evaluate the overall moral character of a fictional man who was hypothetically their boss. Different groups were given different scenarios describing his awful and good behaviors. “Indeed, they [the subjects] evaluated a life with 29 years of treachery and 6 months of goodness the same as a life with 29 years of goodness and 6 months of treachery.” When the last 6 months were good, the subjects were forgiving, and seemed to forget the character’s past sins.

The above is just one tactic used by president Donald Trump. He is forever exploiting human nature. The following song elaborates further.

TACO DONALD

sung to the tune of “Rockin’ Robin” with apologies to the Estate of Michael Jackson and to whomever else the rights may concern.

[chanted:]

mislead, deny and cheat

The following is what Trump’s handlers are singing to the American masses on his behalf, as Trump and his cronies continue to reap the gravy train.

I LOVE GRAVY

sung to the tune of “In the Navy” with apologies to The Village People and to whomever else the rights may concern.

My admin finds PLEasure, searches the world for treasure, makes money from technology. I have just begun to make our dreams all come true, pushing cryptocurrency.

My ICE is turning the tide. I boost our national pride. I’m savvy geopolitically. Vote with a GOP-slant, make a strong mid-TERM stand, or suffer economically.

I love gravy. Yes, dollar signs are all I see. I love gravy. Just keep calm and follow me. I love gravy. My party’ll take a stand, to back the gravy. I love gravy. I’ve got the whole world in my hands. I love gravy. Biden-has bankrupted our land. I love gravy. Biden was a swindling man. I love gravy. I love gravy. I love gravy.

[shouted: I’ll help you! I’ll help you! I’ll help you, get more loot!]

If you like to PAY tax, don’t you vote, just relax. Liberals waste your money FAST. I’ll stop the socialism-of-late. Welfare and homeless deserve our hate. I’LL make your wealth grow vast. Maybe you are TOO young to vote on election day. But read up on my candidates. I will make them incumbents, just wait. Then you’ll see my policies pay.

I love gravy. Yes, dollar signs are all I see. I love gravy. Just keep calm and follow me. I love gravy. My party’ll take a stand, to back the gravy. I love gravy. I’ve got the whole world in my hands. I love gravy. Biden-has bankrupted our land. I love gravy. Biden was a swindling man. I love gravy. I love gravy. I love gravy. I love gravy.

[the heckler’s spoken words are in italics and boldfaced]

I’ll help you! I’ll help you! I’ll help you, get more loot! Who me? I’ll help you! I’ll help you! I’ll help you, get more loot!

but, but, but… we’re all going underwater! Let’s see the books, man. I get sick even watching you on TV!

[Trump flips “the bird”]

I. Hate. You.

What are YOU going to do about our credit rating?

I. Hate. You. I. Hate. You.

I love gravy.

I love gravy. Yes, dollar signs are all I see. I love gravy. Just keep calm and follow me. I love gravy. My party’ll take a stand, to back the gravy. I love gravy.

Currently, this is what president Donald Trump’s handlers are singing on his behalf.

I’VE GOT YOUR BACK

sung to the tune of “I Want You Back” with apologies to the Estate of Michael Jackson, the Jackson Five, and to whomever else the rights may concern.

[whining]

Let me protect you now.

I have the White House to myself.

My messaging’s turning around.

Fox’s smears and lies always helped me, stand out in my crowd.

I gave my enemies the knockout punch when that was all it took.

Now’s the right time for me, to massage the history books.

Ooh, believe me, forget all my rants. I’ll show you I’m good.

Won’t you please help me stay, king of the world.

America, I must try, to let you know, let-you-know, believe me.

I’m still in-no-cent of everything.

I’ve got your back. I do now. I’ve got your back. Ooh believe me. I’ve got your back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ve got your back. Don’t you worry.

Trying to win my base’s love was one long reckless fight.

I need to show the world, that I know wrong from right.

Only cream and SOB’s, rise to the top.

In my conquest for the world, I never, ever stop.

Let me protect-you now.

Ooh, believe me, forget all my rants. I’ll show you I’m good.

Won’t you please help me stay, king of the world.

America, I must try, to let you know, let-you-know, believe me.

I’m still in-no-cent of everything.

You-you-you-you, you-you-you-you,

I-give you a lot, you-you-you-you, all you need, you-you-you-you, all you want. You-you-you-you, all you need.

Forget all my rants.

I’ll show you I’m good.

Ooh, believe me, believe me, believe me, forget all my rants. I’ll show you I’m good.

America, I must try, to let you know.

I’m still in-no-cent of everything.

Let me protect you. Forget all my rants. Ooh, I’ll protect you…
