Political Bash Balling



Pledge of Grievance:
I hedge my grievance to the gag of the divided fates of Scamerica; And to the blind public for whom it disbands, done invasion, undergone, divisible, with liability injustice for all.

Watching Congress bicker is like watching a sea urchin trying to hump a fig newton.

Politicians know that we know. They just hope we're too busy paying $18 for $4 worth of roided chicken wings to roid rage about it.

Freedom is a politician raising the white flag, owning its absurdity then crawling back under its dung heap.

Enslavement is a politician with its sleeves rolled up and a jack hammer in its hands looking for another right to pulverize.

Insanity defined: Voters lubing up because they expect to not be dry humped come election day.

Politics is to freedom the screaming discrepancy between a shit burger and Gordon Ramsey’s taste buds.
 
A politician is an agenda with a hammer in its hand chanting, “Let’s unbuild some shit.”

A politician is like a chameleon slathered in honey trying to change underwear on the fly as it stumbles ass backward into a badger barbecue.

Revenge is conspiracy theorists crooning, “I told you so” as Americans try to tackle 18-million illegal aliens bum-rushing its borders.

America is communism with a mint shoved up its ass and mintier farts.

Politics is democracy flicking the light on and off trying to assure itself no one else can see it lying, cheating stealing or napping.

Politics is corruption looking for another loophole to grease.

There are two types of people: Politicians and smart people.

Lunacy is, doing the same thing while expecting a voter to expect a different result.

Politics is greed with semen running down the crack of its ass.

There once was a politician who didn’t bullshit...said every bullshit politician who ever bullshitted a bullshitter.  

Politicians are useful. And by "useful," I mean "worthless."

Democrats and Republicans are two of America's most popular fruit toppings.

Politics is redundancy on repeat.

A Republican is a Democrat too lazy to wipe its own ass.

A Democrat is a Republican unashamed to wallow in its own shit while blaming the stench on other people's noses.

About this poem

Some rips and jokes I wrote due to an overload of constipation America is suffering due to a gaggle of politicians spinning America dizzy.

      No adjectives were harmed during the outpouring of my rampage. Always good to see one of the best poets on the site popping in. Hope you're well, Maestro, and thank you for the words.

    You are the best. “Watching Congress bicker is like watching a sea urchin trying to hump a fig newton.” is my new favorite line.

      Bottom line is, my sweet friend, I think Americans have all felt the sting of what's taken place in this country and we've all had just about enough from both sides of the aisle. It's all a show to keep We the People at odds and at bay. I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this country, so I'll be damned if I'll sit back and watch it disintegrate into a third world cesspool. That goes for Democrats and Republicans who do nothing but offer us lip service. I don't care what party people belong as long as they love their country and want what's best for it. We have worked too long and hard to simply give it all away. Not on my watch. I'm grateful for people like you and Robin and those who love our great country. Thank you for enduring my slop. You're the best. :-)

      you always have interesting commentary. So I should or should not cover my flag tattoo? Seriously, it’s from 20 years ago and has a much different meaning now :)

      American flag always good - very patriotic. I'm thinking of getting a tattoo of my face on my face, but then that would make me two-faced and who needs the disproportionate weight distribution what with me being so half-witted and such. Could throw the entire caboodle out of equilibrium. Like I need that taint on my resume'. :-P

    I look up to Katie Porters and her whiteboard. Also Hana Rawhiti Maipi Clark, New Zealand’s youngest and newest MP. Check her out. Moana vibes for sure. Great poem! I feel sad for the level of ignorance I hold for politics, but through time I will grow.

      This shit started off as a Republican, Democrat, Liberal and Conservative bash...BUT I opted to make it more generalized so as to not ruffle the feathers of any particular faction of adherers. "Politics" and "Politicians" replaced "Republican, Democrat, Liberal and Conservative" even though these were light years funnier aimed at ALL specific cults, mine included. I love taking shots at my own party as much as anyone else. The bottom line is, NO politician is to be trusted on either side of the insane asylum. I hope folks enjoy my mental vomit.
