Jackass the Ripper

Jackass the Ripper

“Reason obeys itself, and ignorance submits to
whatever is dictated to it.”--Thomas Paine.

Most of us were shocked, even embarrassed, 
when Trump stole (won) the Presidency in 2016,
because every poll labeled him a joke and a loser,
even he did not believe he could win, yet way too
many Hillary-haters who had voted for Obama,
dropped their votes into Trump’s shit-stained lap,
catapulting a cosmic moron, a Populist pussball
into the most important job in the free world, which
he pissed on immediately as he launched his
larcenous litany of pernicious and asinine lies,
acting like a madman taking over the asylum,
projecting his ignorant world-view, his immoral
behavior, his racist, xenophobic, misanthropic,
wanna’ be autocratic, treasonous, Godfather
complex onto the blindfolded lemmings in
America, gathering to himself a cunning cadre
of dishonest bought henchman and most of the
shell-shocked fearful subservient sychophantic
Republicans, hiding behind the new ruling that
a sitting President can not be prosecuted and
that he is permitted to use the DOJ, CIA, and
the FBI as his personal lap dogs and thugs, to
strong-arm, silence or manipulate anyone with
the temerity to stand up to him, spending two
years attacking the Mueller Report, laughing
at the nine counts of abuse of power it outlined,
declaring it an exoneration, paying no attention
to the hundreds of lawyers who signed a letter
stating that if he wasn’t the President, if he had
been anyone else he’d have been put in prison
scoffing at the 23 women who are united in a 
law suit accusing him of rape and harassment,
disregarding the dozens of pending litigations
regarding his questionable business practices,
successfully hiding his tax returns--all this
overshadowed by his belligerent bellicose bullying
on the world stage, his insane saber rattling and
his propensity for threatening nuclear annihilation
of Korea, Syria, and Iran, because many believe
that in one of his immature blind rages he could
actually start WWIII--and even if he failed to do 
that, it’s painfully evident that he desires to
become “President for Life”, and he is not
afraid to handcuff Lady Justice, pardon Roger
Stone, continue to add to the coffers of the
very wealthy, to sell out the middle class, to
gang-rape Lady Liberty, to disembowel the
sacred cow of Democracy, to outlaw freedom,
the press, and all forms of dissent, finally
ripping the throat out of the Republic.

So you did it, Glenn, you actually did come up with a theme about the possible real end of the world as we know it. Phew!!! Too, too depressing..

Glenn, you're too kind. And you forgot that he wanted to "date" his daughter.

I couldn't agree more! Now to share your poem with the rest of the word, and the message to be afraid - very afraid!

Methinks you are too kind with your poem and used too passive a voice.

I wonder how many will claim that they only followed order afterward... I am scared from the sheer speed of change, and I wonder who is the end benefactor of such a change.

It is still beyond my understanding how ONE ass can be allowed to ruin so the lives of so many individuals, openly degrade and bully other countries and threaten the well-being and safety of our whole world. If ONE ass did that on my street, he'd be arrested.

I live in a constant state of disbelief where he is concerned. Well done Glenn.
