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!
As Americans watch in horror as immigration goons are jailing innocent kids and killing U.S. citizens who dare to exercise their constitutional rights, President Donald Trump is flooding the zone with so much chaotic and horrific news in an effort to overwhelm the public.
Trump has employed the chaos strategy for years, doing so many awful things all at once so his political opponents can’t craft a message to address it all or successfully organize to stop his obvious wrongs.
But it’s especially terrifying now, as the strategy is an effort to get away with literal murder, financial heist, and election rigging.
Let me explain.
The killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis ginned up so much righteous anger that even Republicans felt the need to criticize Trump, finally saying that they are open to discussing changes to his immigration enforcement tactics.
It's a shocking development as Republicans have otherwise let Trump do whatever he wants, no matter how evil and lawless.
But as his grip on the GOP faltered this week, Trump unleashed a new torrent of horrors to change the narrative and once again overwhelm his critics.
He had the FBI raid the offices of Fulton County's election officials in Georgia on Wednesday, with agents taking boxes of ballots and voting equipment. It’s part of an obvious quest for Trump to muddy the waters with fake claims of voter fraud to justify making changes to the 2026 elections that could help Republicans steal the midterms.
Then on Thursday, Trump filed a lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service, seeking $10 billion of your hard-earned tax dollars—yes billion, with a “b”—in damages. Trump says he’s owed that enormous sum because his tax returns—which proved that he's a tax cheat—were leaked during his first term in office.

To put that into perspective, $10 billion is one-third of the money needed to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies to millions of Americans for one year. It’s also worth 25 White House ballroom projects, which Trump now estimates will cost $400 million.
If you think that Trump won't be successful in stealing your cash for his own personal benefit, remember that Trump has turned the Department of Justice into his personal revenge machine that does what he wants, no matter how lawless.
What’s more, the head of the IRS and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent would cut the check. Yes, the same toady who defends Trump's every move.
Then on Friday morning, Trump announced his pick for Federal Reserve chair, choosing Republican sycophant Kevin Marsh, who will likely bend to Trump's will on monetary policy.
He also had the DOJ arrest journalists for covering a protest in a Minnesota church, a gross violation of the First Amendment and his latest despicable perversion of justice to punish his perceived enemies.
Of course, Trump's horrific actions have taken a toll on his popularity.
A Pew Research Center poll released Thursday found Trump's approval falling to a second-term low of 37%, with even Republican support tumbling.
"Last year, 67% [of Republicans] said they supported all or most of Trump’s plans and policies. Today, 56% do," the poll found.
But if Trump can flood the zone to get away with stealing taxpayer money and changing election rules to rig the midterms, then public opinion won't matter.
We are long past a constitutional crisis.

Explaining the Right is a weekly series that looks at what the right wing is currently obsessing over, how it influences politics—and why you need to know.
Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota was attacked by a Trump supporter during a town hall on Tuesday. The assailant’s social media profile showed racial animosity toward Omar, who is a Black woman, echoing rhetoric from President Donald Trump and other Republicans.
Trump followed up the attack by continuing to smear Omar while also promoting the conspiracy theory that the event had been staged.
The episode was just the latest in a series of attacks that Trump has leveled against prominent Black women during his time as a national political figure.
For instance, as part of his longstanding feud with Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas—who has frequently called out his racism and authoritarianism—Trump has insisted that she has a “low IQ.”
Racists have historically asserted that Black people have lower IQs than whites.
In another episode, Trump tried to get his Justice Department to pursue a criminal case against New York Attorney General Leticia James. Trump has had a chip on his shoulder since James successfully pursued him in court, securing a guilty verdict on 34 felonies.
But the right’s attacks on Black women are not confined to just Trump.
Kamala Harris, who was the first woman and the first Black and Asian person to serve as vice president, was frequently the target of attacks from the right. During her presidential campaign, Trump’s propagandists at Fox News fumed that she used the word “holistic,” describing it as “Kamala Harris’ ‘Holistic’ Word Salad.”
Similarly, the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, as part of his legacy of racist remarks, went after Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson—the first Black woman to serve on the court. After she was nominated by former President Joe Biden, Kirk said that she was a “recipient of affirmative action” and that she was “unqualified.”

In a memorable moment of mass hysterics, the conservative movement pilloried Michelle Obama, the first Black first lady, because she had the nerve to advocate for healthy diets and exercise for children.
The modern conservative movement has its roots in racial animosity, particularly directed at Black people. But that animus goes into overdrive when the target is Black women.
Much of this likely stems from the central role that Black women play in the progressive movement, particularly the political strength of the Democratic Party. Without the support and organization of Black women voters, Democrats would likely not be a viable party.
Black women are the most reliable voting bloc for the party and have been the demographic most likely to support winning presidential candidates like Biden and Barack Obama. But even when Democratic candidates have lost, they have had the unwavering support of Black women.
For instance, when Trump defeated Harris in 2024, Black women voted for Harris by a margin of 92% to 7%. Similarly, when Hillary Clinton lost to Trump in 2016, she received 94% of Black women’s votes while Trump received 4%.
The demographic has historically shown little to no interest in Republican candidates, which no doubt has been a source of frustration.
Right-wing politics has historically centered the concerns of conservative white men over everyone else, and the party’s embrace of faux masculinity has set up a dynamic of subordination to white men. Often, as displayed by politicians like Trump, this animosity is expressed by targeting Black women.
It isn’t just the politicians who make this choice. Conservative media, most notably Fox News, serves a key role in portraying Black women as the villain in conservative morality plays. Politicians like Trump then play into this narrative, targeting leaders like Omar and Crockett to keep up support among his base.
In light of this institutional hostility and the clear consensus that Democrats are more open to their concerns, it is unlikely that Black women will join the Republican camp anytime soon.
So while Republicans continue to bash and demonize them, Black women will use their power at the ballot box.

The ICE List Wiki is a public, verifiable record of immigration enforcement activity in the United States.
It documents incidents, agencies, individuals, facilities, vehicles, and legal authorities involved in enforcement operations. Entries are structured, sourced, and timestamped to support verification, cross-referencing, and long-term analysis. The wiki is intended for use by journalists, researchers, advocates, and the general public.
This project was created by Crust News.
The ICE List Wiki is designed for public use. Journalists, researchers, and advocacy groups use the data to track enforcement patterns, identify repeat agencies or jurisdictions, and contextualise individual incidents. Pages may be cited with attribution.
Amazon’s Ring cameras are integrated into U.S. law-enforcement workflows. Police agencies can request footage directly from Ring users, allowing private home surveillance video to be shared with law enforcement.
In 2025, Ring partnered with Flock Safety, further linking consumer cameras to nationwide law-enforcement surveillance platforms.
Civil-liberties groups warn this expands surveillance with limited transparency or oversight. ICE List strongly recommends against purchasing or using Ring cameras.

Killing of Silverio Villegas González by ICE 2025-09-12 • Franklin Park, Illinois
ICE agents, including Moore, Arian S., fatally shot Silverio Villegas González during an immigration enforcement operation in a residential area outside Chicago. ICE claimed the shooting was justified by a vehicle-related threat, but body-worn camera footage, witness accounts, and independent reporting have raised serious questions about the accuracy of the official narrative.
