Yesterday's news was that Donald Trump wishes he hadn't hired Jefferson Beauregard Sessions to be Attorney General. Sessions, who happens to be a lawyer actually read, or had somebody on his staff read the DOJ guidelnes which say the AG has to recuse himself from investigations into affairs in which he played a role. So now the president holds Beauregard in low regard as well. Comes around and goes around.
Low Regardā¦
by BAR poet in residence Raymond Nat Turner
He kept testi-lying ways less than lackluster
Feigned brain-farts for five-minute filibuster
Arch racist representing antebellum southā
Came whistling āDixieā out his other mouth!
Clever cracker reconstructing the Stonewallā
Oinking twenty-six times: ā I do not recallā¦ā
Tell me is it Blame Game or Race Card
Fueling my low regard for Beauregardā
Voter suppression, his crackling sound:
Like Black churches burning to the ground?
Maybe itās his framing of the Marion Three,
Longing to return to days of Robert E. Lee?
Is it his bogus prosecutions for āvoter fraudā
While sub-prime predators loot and maraud?
Maybe itās his belief in superiority of āwhites,ā
Or, waging Lighting War against Civil Rights?
Tell me is it Blame Game or Race Card
Fueling my low regard for Beauregardā
Voter suppression, his crackling sound:
Like Black churches burning to the ground?
Brooks Brothers klansman, in word and deed
Would sport sheetsāif they didnāt smoke weed
Olā Lizard, Imperial Wizard, Exalted Cyclops
Green-lighting klansmen called killer cops
Beauregardās stonewalling aināt no mystery
Historically the bassackwards side of history
Tell me is it Blame Game or Race Card
Fueling my low regard for Beauregardā
Voter suppression, his crackling sound:
Like Black churches burning to the ground?
