Oh, that military parade Xi that put on for Putin and Kim…and Trump.

China showed poor Donald how dictatorship is done:
’twas demoed in a big parade that dwarfed the U.S. one.
Donald didn’t get his kicks from tanks and armor plate.
Instead he got instruction on how soldiers challenged fate.

Who gives a shit about those men and how they lived and died?
Surely not our Donald, in whose int’rest they don’t lie.
The only thing he cares about is, can they help his brand…
I dearly hope one day he finds his empire’s built on sand.

Trump: Fatso, spend time at the gym. Pritzker: It takes one to know one.

Hey, Fats up there on your shelf…
You don’t care about Pritzker’s health. 
Dumb that you tell him
“Get to the gym!”
when you’ve never been down there yourself!

Oracle’s Larry Ellison surpasses Elon Musk as world’s richest person.

Elon, does this mean we’re through?
Wall Street just told me what’s new.
We’ve all seen the sign, man:
You’ve fallen behind, and
no shit man, you’re now Number Two.

What’s that brown stink on my shoe?
You fell from your big hill of poo.
There’s so many fans of the
world’s richest man, but
in both ways, you’re now Number Two.

School children get mudered and J.D. Vance says it’s a sad fact of life. Charlie Kirk killed and Trump blames only The Left—forgetting all the right wing attacks. It’s our culture that’s poison!

From The Atlantic: Trump’s blame list “…goes back to the 2017 shooting of Steve Scalise, but omits the shootings of two Democratic legislators at their homes earlier this summer. It does not mention the 2020 attempted kidnapping of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, or the brutal attack on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband in 2022 (which Trump has used as a punch line to mock the victim).

“Notably, Trump’s list ignores the shooting just one month ago at CDC headquarters, in which a man protesting COVID-19 vaccines fired more than 180 shots at the building and killed a police officer, but includes “attacks on ICE agents,” which have not involved gunfire. Trump of course handed out pardons to supporters who brutalized police officers on January 6, 2021. This week, his allies in the Senate defended his bestowal of military honors upon Ashli Babbitt, who was shot trying to smash her way through the Capitol in the insurrection attempt.

“Every political movement in history, including the most bloodthirsty, has condemned political violence by its opponents. The only real test is whether you also oppose political violence by your allies. This is a test Trump has repeatedly failed.”

Gun deaths—a sad fact of life, says J.D.
Until they hit someone you like, you see.
But let’s be more kind,
try to change people’s minds
and not just add security…

Lincoln called for “the better angels of our nature” on March 4, 1861. Trump could earn the Nobel that he craves by doing the same.

Is this how the battle begins?
A war our poor country can’t win.
If you wanna keep score
Yes, one side will kill more.
But the U.S. will die for our sins.
