I honestly can’t even think of a headline here …

The former President of the United States appeared to call yesterday for the death of Mitch McConnell, the highest-ranking member of his own political party.  Although Donald Trump’s reasons were characteristically confusing and poorly articulated, observers note that the apparent threat followed McConnell voicing support for reforming the Electoral Count Act.

The tweet below is from Trump’s Truth Social account.

and here, among other places:  https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/01/politics/trump-mcconnell-death-wish-democrat-bills/index.html.

Just for a little added madness, Trump took a swipe at McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao.  I’ve read on Twitter that the term he used is a racial slur — though I’ve never heard it before.  Elaine Chao was Trump’s own Secretary of Transportation.  (She resigned immediately after the January 6th attack on the Capitol.)

Donald Trump is a barely comprehensible psychopath who is inciting violence against the lawful United States government.  Have a nice day.

It’s a Christmas Twitter Political Limerick Miracle.

2 Comments

So, dudes, this really cool thing happened during the first wee hours of Christmas 2019.  I couldn’t sleep (yet again) so I was Twittering in bed — I wound up responding to the #Dimerick hashtag, where people were poking fun of Donald Trump with limericks.  I wrote four.

George Conway retweeted two of them. (As you’re doubtlessly aware, he’s the husband of White House spokesperson Kellyanne Conway — which is funny, because he’s an outspoken and highly visible critic of Trump.  He’s also a very smart guy — if you’re not following him on Twitter, then you should remedy that right now. )

The two tweets just took off.  I got 8,000 “likes” on the first one that you see below, and 5.8 thousand “likes” on the second one.  (Both got more than a thousand retweets.)  All sorts of people were retweeting them at Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the rest of the Senate GOP leadership.  (If the secret police come for me, I love you all, by the way.)

I know it’s a silly thing to be proud of.  But these limericks are … my most popular poems to date.  I might have finally found my real niche.

Just for kicks, I’m sharing the other two that I wrote below as well.
