APP:  Another Pinocchio Politician

                                                                                                              APP:

                                                                                        Another Pinocchio Politician

                                                                                          “In time of universal deceit—

                                                                                  telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”  

                                                                                                   —George Orwell

 

Fat cats, ‘watchdogs,’ hawks, lame ducks,
J6 wild Boers and other
Dangerous animals prowling Capitalist Hill,
War House and White Supreme Court…

Pariah—liar—pants on fire! Old kleptocrats
suffer no selfies with sloppy swindler.
Name dropper/big whopper, temporarily shunned.
Left alone with his phone. Avoiding eye contact of
Slicker, senior thieves texting White lies/alternative
facts. Jr.’s just 34. His lying, though, is already…
Presidential…

Jr. said he rescued 2,400 dogs; 280 cats…
Said as landlord—he lost money ‘cause
of COVID measures protecting tenants
‘Squatting’ on his properties…
Said he graduated from Baruch—but the
registrar’s office sounded like an orchestra of
Owls… Swore he’ll defend against foreign/domestic
Enemies—J6 selfie’s worth more than 10,000
words… Jr. says he’s a professor, but doesn’t unpack,
center or Contextualize like the rest…
Jr. says he’s Jewish with Latino lineage—
‘White’ but can still tan with the best…
Says his grandparents were holocaust
survivors. But if he’s a Boy From Brazil
maybe his grandparents were
Guards at Treblinka and Buchenwald?

The People are demanding his resignation!
Jr.’s stubborn! He plans to ride his scandal out…
The People are demanding his resignation!
Jr.’s stubborn! He plans to ride his scandal out…
Said 2/3 House vote’s required to oust him. House
is glass…Expect no thrown stones anytime soon…

Jr.’s just a leper—learning curve to over
come before welding Warfare State
Power…Before stealing Pentagon-style—like junk
metal-chested generals, greasy-thumbed accountants,
sleazy senators and other corrupt congress
members…

Jr. isn’t skilled yet for stealing like big boys and
girls— WMD company shareholders
who make money the old-fashioned way:
Koch Brother hands up their asses, moving smart-
ALEC mouths—
PASSING FASCISM OFF AS DEMOCRACY…
