Numb. 1225 Donald, The Cabinet Maker

Why do my picks need FBI checks?

Vlad said they’re okay by him.

And though I am pissed, if Dems insist,

I’ll run ’em by Xi and Kim.


Last time, remember, there was a problem.

Many around me were lacking in loyalty.

Lesson learned, time to move on.

Nothing but lackeys who treat me as royalty.

Numb. 1224 Trump & RFK Jr Will Not Leave Us Breathless

Inedia (Latin for 'fasting') or breatharianism (/brɛˈθɛəriənɪzəm/ breth-AIR-ee-ən-iz-əm) is the claimed ability for a person to live without consuming food, and in some cases water. It is a pseudoscientific practice, and several adherents of these practices have died from starvation or dehydration. — Wikipedia


Coming next from Donald, RFK Jr, & Co.:

do away with all food.

(Also, maybe water?)

Imagine the savings to be accrued!

Plus no need for illegal crop pickers,

busboys, or food deliverers.

And there’d be a definitive end to E. coli food poisoning.

And we could empty reservoirs and use water for fracking.

(We’ll figure out later what to do about fires.)


If we don't need food,

then we don't need farmers

which will yield a surplus of farmer's daughters.

Their make-great-again savior? A.G. Matt Gaetz,

rescuing them from worse-than-death fates!


This is butt a few of the many ideas,

these geniuses provide us out of their rears.

Numb. 1223 Thoughts For The End Times

You needn’t be dense to deny climate changing

as you watch while Antarctica melts.

I repeat, YOU NEEDN’T BE DENSE!

However, it sure as hell helps.



You cannot o’ercome plate tectonic subduction

by having the state own the means of production.



The human attention span, if it exists,

is somewhat less than that of a goldfish.



Had we stayed in the trees

eating fruit, bark, and leaves,

we could have never become

“Destroyer Of Worlds” —

our worst ever notion,

seeing we have only one.


Nevertheless, from trees we descended

and, as a result, the planet upended.

Starting all over? NOT recommended.
Given the messes we keep creating
our continued existence is exacerbating.

Numb. 1222 Caesar's Wife

Trump wasn’t there

when ex-wife, Ivana, 

died in her duplex,

having tripped on the stairs.

Nevertheless, 

subsequent wives

would be well-advised 

to take elevators

going downstairs.


Numb. 1221 Trump On Firmness

I am always pro-Israel

when I’m with Jews.

Tho’ pro-NAZI otherwise.

Why shouldn’t I

maintain different views,

dusting them off

as incentive advises?


Numb. 1220 Trump On Picking His Cabinet

Picking a cabinet is never easy,
still I have to follow MY rules.
Tho’ how do you know a rando’s convictions
if he has not been accused.
Let alone indicted and tried,
convicted and sentenced,
exhausted all his appeals.
If he has, I know he's a hard 'un,
who'll do what he's told
OR GOOD-BYE, NO PARDON.

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.
