Numb. 1007 Toward What End?

Might not it BE BESTto let Donald stay?
Melanie lets him … tho' that's day to day.
He seems … disinclined? … to go away.
Casting aside our justified fears,
we let him hang on for four more years?
Or do we do the Solomon thing?
(Which could be a bit of a laugh.)
Donald becomes Confederate King 
we cut the country in half?
Naturally, we'd reorder borders 
lay down a whole lot more walls.
Tho' this gives rise  two domestic disorders 
what you'd expect when an empire falls.
(A ruler who has no clue what he's doin',
is bound to lead to everyone's ruin.)
Rome, as they say, did not fall in a day.
Tho' split in two, it declined anyway.
Eventually, everything  in the end  does.
That's how it is. (And always was.)
In the interim, betwixt collapses,
you have to choose between perhapses.

Donald stays? 
Or Donald goes? 
Which disaster
has him depart 
FOREVER! faster?

Numb. 1006 Whatever It Takes (the Business Mens' Political Creed)

We maintain everything's fine
if we can say the trains are on time.
If keeping on schedule involves kitten killing,
that is a sacrifice we will make willingly.
The economy requires reliable transport,
so kitty-cat lives are not important.
As with paws, so with the laws.
You do what you have to only because
anything that could diminish your profit
must be opposed, you have to stop it.
Best business practice always depends
on whatever means lead to your ends.

Numb. 1005 Points To Ponder

I find this an encouraging sign:
regardless how Republicans whine
Covid restrictions are very unfair”,
they do not propose the answer is prayer.

Also of interest, the curious fact:
no one among these GOP hacks
says a sure cure is lower taxes.

Where GOP sees no more than veniality,
reality shows Donald's amoral totality.

As you watch this grand denouement,
ponder not, What doth Donald want?
Waste no concern on this cretinous simian
as he sinks into deservรจd oblivion.

Numb. 1004 Vaccine Priority:The King's Gambit (or The Queens Bandit's Next Trick)

Who will be first to get the vaccine?
Naturally, those with the dough.
Then, perhaps, winning contestants
on a brand new TV reality show?
Hosted by (fanfare here, please)
the petulant president who caused this disease
to get a firm foothold, allowed it to spread,
until, as foretold, thousands lay dead,
who ignored the facts, who championed quacks,
who abandoned the combat to uninformed hacks,
who lied and denied while followers died,
gasping their last crying, “He's on our side.”

His ratings, of course, will go through the roof.
(If you're on TV, you don't need vote fraud proof.)
His fans will lap up whatever is said.
Instead of “You're fired!” he'll tell them, “YOU'RE DEAD!”

Numb. 1003 Now It Can Be Told (straight from a genius president brain)

There never was any virus.
Whole damn thing was a hoax.
Like the moon is made of green cheese
or allegations I binge Diet Cokes.

I cross my fingers whenever I “promise”,
when I take a vow or an oath.
I can screw whores and break all the laws.
On a good day, I often do both.

Three raw vaccines, I made them finer.
Perfected them to a T.
Thereby combating fake virus from China.
All LEGAL voters voted for me.

I remain the same: a sane stable genius,
not the least bit unhinged.
Everyone knows I won the election.
Just ask the lunatic fringe.

Rudy will show I was cheated
out of a victory.
General Mike Flynn says, Declare Martial Law”.
Will I or won't I? Maybe. We'll see.

About The BYSTANDER

My photo
When young I voted Republican. Democrats? Union goons and Ku Klux Klan. Camelot Kennedy? Not my cup of tea. (Frankly, I thought it a scam. I was, by default, a Goldwater man.) Through Johnson and Nixon I lacked conviction. For Ford and Carter I couldn't bother. Then came Ronnie. The smarmy carny, hominy nominee. Time to change party! Bush, Clinton, Bush led to Obama which led us twice to our present trauma. (Ignoring here Joe Biden's years, which Trump, the disgrace, will erase.) Labor's diminished. Perhaps even finished. The Klan is a GOP brand. Anger predominates. A felonious reprobate holds country's fate in grabby hands. Still NOT a Democrat, although I vote like that. An increasingly frail, flailing old man. I proudly am an anti-Republican.
