the 40 days of trumpmas - a surreal serial poem
Remember, remember! The fifth of trumpvember
the 40 days of trumpmas - a serial poem
for 40 days the trumpeter reigns,
his lies and hate on whom he disdains,
but election day will come so soon,
we'll no longer hear the orange baboon;
in 39 days full of world wide problems.
we could elect him to get rid of the muslims,
but as he'll rant on trivialities of his presidential life,
what could be worse? - you could be his wife;
in 38 days just what will you do?
the donald has said he likes lgbtq,
but as he bullies his women and all his men too,
if youre questioning, what stops him from bullying you?
in just 37 days, some people are saying,
(or pleading or hoping or some even praying)
the duke of prunes will dye his forelock purple my friend,
and thus make america grape again,
our days are down to just 36,
before our problems the don will fix,
he will on day one do what hes said - true,
he'll wall out our enemies - and fat women too!
on the 35th day of trumpmas
yes just seven weeks remain!
will the polls and tallies deliver us
donald with his golden mane?
34 days and the vice-pipers have piped,
though pence didnt say why donalds suit shouldnt be striped,
he wouldnt defend his master's string pulling,
to make america great? - who do they think they're fooling?
just 33 days till the macho tornado,
unless its blown away by hurricane machado,
with women and voters he has so much to loose.
keep your mouth shut donald (unless youre changing your shoes)
32 days and we’ve been hit by the big blowhard,
donald spoke here in fla (oh, we had a hurricane too)
this administration gives us playing the race card, a weak economy, and unemployment
but if you want a job you could be donald’s campaign manager (unless youre a jew)
31 days, just a month, remains;
will the donald say hes sorry, and his baser impulses restrain?
or keep blaming bill clinton for our moral demise;
when trump speaks to us, our NO votes must be our replies!
election comes this time (in 30 days) each 4 years,
time for praise and tears and fears;
as polls will open in many states,
vote early, please dont vote late!
down to 29, just a leap february,
and theres still the donald quite
contrary;
donald donald, how does your garden grow?
quoth the master debater, "with pretty maids groped in a row"
just 28 days - later or soon,
and the zombies will rise, led by the big goon;
unless everyone gets a reality inoculation,
i might have to move to canada for a well deserved vacation;
now just 27, less than 4 weeks,
no time for you to say 'yikes!' or 'eeeks!'
obama wants to go to mars and colonize it for man,
lets send trump tomorrow! and colonize it for orangutan!
26 days are all that remain,
will our democracy and economy go down the drain?
if we all keep listening to the blustering oaf,
will he give jobs and prosperity? - or just half a loaf
25 days - will more women speak?,
of the antics of donald who the presidency seeks,
dating 14 year old girls or groping their mothers,
how did the gop pick him over the others?,
24 days - were down to two dozen,
the next woman who speaks just might be your cousin,
or mother or sister, aunt, niece, even daughter,
describing the circumstance in which donald caught her,
23 days left and trump doesnt yet have as many accusers,
as cosby, but he assures us that they are all really losers,
sent by bankers or hillary with secret agendas,
to disrupt our election of him - our defender!,
22 days and we know charity begins at home,
but donalds attention is so prone to roam,
his gift that disappeared to 911 survivors from his foundation?,
oops! maybe donald spent it on a vacation,
21 days and trump says the election may be rig-ly,
if hes not the winner and his total's not big-ly,
tremendously higher than hillary gets,
he warns his supporters may all lose their wits,
20 days left and while george zimmerman still walks free,
the man who shot at HIM got 20 years - while trayvon got eternity,
trump wants us to support our cops and maintain law and order,
he'll put all the inner city dwellers in jail, and send the immigrant criminals far across the border,
19 days left till we all go to pretend,
to elect someone to lead us, as if on it our lives depend,
but wise man, donald trump, already really knows,
who we really voted for - a wolf in president's clothes?,
18 days and we bad hombres demand a rebate,
on the ill feelings left since the comments of one candidate,
the debaters have met in their final grudge match,
but only donald can say from whose hands victory will be snatched,
17 days and our government is corrupt with quid pro quo,
did you take latin at wharton? is that how you know?,
donald wants us to fire at them all - the bureaucrats lined up in rows,
and believe me, corruption is a subject. that donald really knows,
16 days - lets set term limits on all our office holders,
and put all our women in binders - or maybe in folders,
donalds endless complaints are becoming a sour whine,
have a little cheese with that, from wisconsin, where
hillary's doing fine,
15 days and on stocking covered thighs did linger,
two miniature hands with two thumbs and eight tiny fingers,
they belonged to the donald who believed that he owned,
any thing that he wanted - or anyone he got alone,
14 days yes only two weeks,
till the duke of orange assends to the throne he seeks?,
to rule all americans, the strong and the weak?,
and dominate the globe with power that's peak?,
the 13th day to go - does that seem unlucky?,
not for donald whos lately been appearing quite plucky,
claiming media, polls, and parties are against him,
and rallying his multitudes with wit waxing dim,
on the 12th day of trumpmas donald awoke with a jerk,
promptly fired his latest campaign manager (who considered that a perk),
if youre "AAAfroAAAmurikan" and unemployed i can put you to work,
barked donald the businessman from behind his sly smirk,
it's the 11th and engineer casey trump is in the caboose,
i hear some of you saying oh no! what's the use,
our campaign will probably just go off the tracks,
but donald says its ok - cause he's got "the blacks",
just ten days left yes only one-zero,
til donald is hoping that he'll be your hero,
as new hillary emails come under investigation,
donald hopes to rename camp david to camp donald for
his vacations,
like a cat has nine lives we're left with only 9 days,
till we're subject to donald? and his old wicked ways,
on foreign affairs he says he'll save us from isis,
but his domestic affairs are misogyny and crisis,
our days are numbered - yes only eight,
till once again we make america great,
by getting rid of candidates who have nothing to add,
goodbye donald you wont make america sad,
just one week to go - its day minus seven,
till america's lifted above - to trumpty dump heaven?,
where for rich folks like donald opportunity abounds,
and we keep the working poor with a wall that surrounds,
how the time it does fly its already day 6,
till americans problems the donald will fix,
his solutions begin on trumpday number one,
dont you like them? they'll come at the barrel of a gun,
Five days to go, baby, One in five,
No one here gets out alive, now,
david dukes not opposed to all jews,
he backs trump - who are you going to choose?,
only 4 days left till the armaged-don,
he'll seize power by the horns once he has won,
and donnie will be what he longs for - a winner,
using the FBI to wreak havoc on hillary the sinner,
only three left, just a triad of days,
and the donald his supporters continues to amaze,
with hoopla and folderoll made up in his head,
his winning temperament will leave us all dead,
just a pair of days - 2 - till trump paradise,
since these words you're reading please heed my advice,
the creatures that surround us are beginning to bite,
'blacks for trump' fear the Illuminati so lets turn out their light,
just a single day left till our thanksgiving,
deliver us from donald and preserve the living,
forget sanity and disgard your misgivings,
but pray hard to your gods that they'll be forgiving,
since we've got the nukes why can't we use'em?,
on the road to 2016 why couldn't we lose HIM?,
and trumpmas now has finally come,
the tallies will count up to a winning sum,
unless the earth is struck soon by a cataclysmic comet,
to elect a candidate who just makes you want to vomit?,
we wish you a merry trumpmas at this time each 4 years,
if you have'nt voted you've lost the chance to mitigate your fears,
cause donald duck is ready to lead, forget your crocodile tears,
so you'd better get the vaseline and lubricate your rears!

Van Hollen speaks on vote to demand accountability from Trump
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLRrXQxfIpw
U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) speaks at a press conference on his privileged legislation with Sens. Kaine (D-VA) and Schumer (D-NY) to require the Trump Administration to produce a report detailing the Administration’s steps to comply with court orders applicable to U.S. citizens or residents wrongfully deported to El Salvador. This resolution would also require the Trump Administration to confirm whether U.S. security assistance has been used to support the illegal detention of U.S. residents and provide an assessment of El Salvador’s human rights record. Because the legislation is privileged, all senators will be required to vote on it and publicly demonstrate their commitment to Americans’ Constitutional right to due process.
Transcript
i want to start by thanking my good
friend partner across the battoomeac Tim
Kaine as he said we work on lots of
issues together for this region for our
states but we also work very closely on
foreign policy issues uh and there's
nobody who knows uh the Western
Hemisphere and Latin America better than
Senator Tim Kaine uh he as you know
chaired and now is the ranking member of
the subcommittee on the western
hemisphere and that jurisdiction also
includes human rights and and democracy
so thank you for your passion for
universal human rights in our hemisphere
and around the world and that's what
this is all about because the right to
due process is a bedright bedrock
American principle and in his first 100
days Donald Trump is shredding the
Constitution of the United States he's
violated these rights in many instances
including the illegal abduction and
deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia who
was snatched off the streets of Maryland
while driving with his 5-year-old son
who has autism and he was shipped to
Baltimore then Texas and then shackled
and handcuffed put in a plane not where
he knowing where he was going and ended
up in the notorious prison of Secot one
of the real goologs of Latin America the
Trump
administration admitted in court
admitted in court that ago Garcia had
been wrongfully shipped to El Salvador
and the Supreme Court by a nine to
nothing vote ordered the Trump
administration to facilitate his return
you don't see nine to nothing rulings
out of the court very often and of
course Donald Trump could easily bring
him back by simply picking up the phone
on the Resolute desk how do we know that
because President Trump said so himself
within the last 48 hours
so we also know that the government of
El Salvador is prepared to release
him if they can hear from the president
of the United States and they facilitate
his return how do we know that because
when I spoke to the vice president of Al
Salvador he was very clear he said the
ball is not in El Salvador's court the
ball is in the Trump administration's
court and he said that the only reason
the government of El Salvador is holding
him is because the Trump administration
is paying him to do so
so Donald Trump should stop trampling on
constitutional rights of people who
reside in America and the government of
El Salvador should stop conspiring with
the Trump administration to violate the
constitutional rights of those who
reside in America including Abrego
Garcia and others president Boule and El
Salvador are complicit in this illegal
scheme
this is a cash for collusion
deal not surprisingly Donald Trump chose
President Boule as his co-conspirator in
this effort president Buhy has referred
to referred to himself as the world's
quote coolest dictator
when I traveled recently to El Salvador
I met with many Salvadorian human rights
groups who described the gross
violations of human rights and due
process in El Salvador by President
Boule and his government and the 2023
State Department human rights report
found that in Boule's prisons there were
credible reports of and I'm quoting
torture and other cruel inhuman or
degrading punishment they went on to say
in that report that that degrading
inhuman punishment
includes beatings with bat batons
electric shocks on wet floors to shock
an entire cell overcrowding underfeeding
and life-threatening medical neglect
that was the 2023 State Department human
rights report
no one can communicate with ago Garcia
or others in those prisons of El
Salvador either not his wife not his
mother not his lawyer that is a
violation of international law and yet
that is where the Trump
administration dispatched this person
because of an administrative
error
and now we've learned that the Trump
administration wants to excise those
provisions from the human rights report
regarding prison conditions and actually
give El Salvador preferential treatment
so that's why we're introducing this
resolution today and again I want to
thank my friend and colleague Senator
Kaine i want to thank Senator Schumer
Senator Padilla and our House colleagues
we're doing this both to require the
Trump administration to answer for its
unconstitutional violations of due
process and send a message to President
Bali that no it is not cool to collude
with Trump to provide to deprive people
living in America the right to due
process donald Trump he may want to
adopt El Salvador's approach to
violating human rights but we don't we
will not model our judicial system on El
Salvador's kangaroo courts in addition
to this resolution I've called upon all
Americans who care about their due
process rights to vote with their
feet don't go to El Salvador as tourists
so long as the government of El Salvador
is violating the constitutional rights
of people who reside in America there
are lots of other nice countries in the
region like Costa Rica or Guatemala or
others i've also called upon states to
divest pension fund holdings from
companies that do business in El
Salvador and I was pleased to see
Governor Prit Pritsker of Illinois
announce the plan to do that and finally
stay tuned because Senator Kaine and I
along with Senator Schumer and others uh
are planning to also
introduce sanctions legislation
targeting President Bali and all those
who are part of his government
conspiring with Donald Trump to deprive
residents of the United States of their
constitutional rights and thank all of
you for being here and again thanks to
my friend uh Tim Kaine for um all his
leadership on this and so many issues
great

the White House ignored a judge's order to turn back deportation flights
The Trump administration says it ignored a Saturday court order to turn around two planeloads of alleged Venezuelan gang members because the flights were over international waters and therefore the ruling didn't apply, two senior officials tell Axios.
