What’s with a Pomade Man’s testosterone obsession?

“War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.” —Thomas Mann


It’s been an obscenely profitable Q3 for war-profiteers, posing
as patriots. At war with The People at home and abroad —
they’ve made a killing! Imposing hunger and homelessness here.
Reducing homes, hospitals, schools, bridges, roads to rubble there.

Operation Epstein Fury’s collateral damage, soldiers bodies,
arrive at Dover wrapped in red, white, and blue. And smothered in
stars and stripes. Fake faces of amateurish actors, Boss Tweet,
his Pomade Man, and other Cruel Corrupt Reich Cultists greet them.

Pomade man’s a Bloody Mary man. His 90 proof chain of command,
Captain Morgan, Jack Daniels, Jim Beam refutes the fog of wine.
But nothing exceeds his thirst for blood. Oh, how he loves blowing up
fishing boats on the high seas. And he’s cool bombing primary school.

Dear Lord, please forgive his TO. His Testosterone Obsession.
Forgive him like you forgave ranking Blacks, he’s yet to fire,
for making fun of him. For dubbing him “Vanilla T” and “Mr. T.
White.” Lord, you forgave them for mocking him cosplaying Mr. T:
“Hey, boy, gimme back those medals! Hey you, boy, you look
over thirty. Come here, boy, lemme test your T— if ya gon’ go
fight for me! Boy, your T levels look low. Suckkka, don’t
tell me ‘bout blood clots from the shots … I’ll bus’ you up!”

Testosterone Obsession of a Pomade Man, Vanilla T,
Mr. T. White, raises questions:
How much T does it take to blow up boats full of fish?
How much T does it take to bomb primary schools —
dyeing pink book bags scarlet? How much T does it take
to bomb bridges and blowup water treatment plants —
while, apparently, all the T in China is steeping on
shipments of solar panels and electric vehicles?
