Mr. Magog What’s New? “Oh, say, can you see?”

I.

Didn’t Lynne say something like, “The law’s

What they say it is…today…” (????????????????)

Didn’t Lenin say something like, “The state is an

organ of class rule…” (??????????????????)

Failed state Federalist Society sadists stress positioning,

waterboarding, force-feeding fantasies into Patriot Acts…

Rebranding women handmaidens; their bodies bathtub toys

for ham-handed boys…Black-robed Bassackwards

Tribes men

led by Thom-ass Clarence/Spinning Ginni handler

“Let The Eagle Soar” ‘round corporate revolving door!

‘Round walking conflicts of interests! ‘Round lawyers

not looking back at Banksters—“Too Big to Fail!”

‘Round Twilight Zone where Chiquita Banana disguised as

Perdue Pharma masquerades as Brown Big Brother and

The Holder Co.; ‘Round Outer Limit legal ‘theories’ crowning

Drone Ranger judge/jury/executioner…

“Let The Eagle Soar” ‘round corporate revolving door!

’Round something called Senate where Cowboy State half million=

Golden State 44 million… ’Round something called Electoral College

weaponizing war criminal, red nose, big shoe shows for the foreseeable

Future… ’Round something called White Supreme Court; War House;

Capitalist Hill—droning on ‘bout “Our democracy…” “Our democracy…”

“Our democracy…”

II. Boss Tweet’s behest, Beauregard busts up families at border—

low Barr unleashes death squads George Floyd Summer. But…

seeing stars, bars, swastika treason, Magoo moves like molasses

Iceberg/wrist-slap sentences… Yet, gumshoe Magoo—without a

Clue—

flew across the Atlantic for an Aussie named Assange…

What does Magoo know? When did he know it? What’sMagoo

Trying to blow? Why’s he trying to blow it?

Why’s Magoo mucking Boss Tweet’s $election $campaign up—his

Run for an hour’s exercise—on yards of Leavenworth or Lompoc???
