Elon Musk and Nigel Farage went from love to hate quicker than a Brit can say, “Thanks Nigel, Brexit sucks.”

Musk trading barbs with Farage
earns them the label “garbazh”…
The occasional gem
surfs this ocean of phlegm
but it’s mostly a shit-filled barrage.

Now Bannon wades into the fray
demanding that *he* get a say. (uh, why?)
It’s never enough
and always so tough
to distinguish his comments from spray.

Zuckerbeg announces the end of serious fact-checking on Facebook. It’s crowd-sourced now, just like Sewer Twitter X. Ooo, classy!

Zuck aims to stroke Donny’s dick
by ditching the “censored” yardstick.
Facebook will fill | with MAGA-head swill.
You’re really okay | with whatever we say?
So let this one stay, you soft prick!

Facebook will soon be like X…
trash with no decency checks.
Emotions obscene
and language unclean…
an encounter like gangrenous sex!

Trump plans to pardon January 6 insurrectionists, and God knows who else.

Some pardons by Joe went too far.
The truth is, it’s where we now are.
Compared to Trump’s trail
it’s a question of scale
and will only get far more bizarre.

Waiting for January 20th is depressing.

I’m trying to lay off The News
‘cause reading it gives me the blues.
Guessing what’s next
is just leaving me vexed
and forced to combat it with booze.

The mood of the U.S. has changed
and so many folks act degranged.
Now lying’s okay
and polite is passé…
the whole fuckin’ country’s estranged!

And finally, a revision of a 2019 lament…

Trump thinks he wants to own Greenland. 
He covets that icy, pristine land. 
But we discard our junk 
out the door like a drunk. 
As ours, it would soon be “latrine-land!” 

From The Guardian’s Ben Jennings
