USAians, check in when you vote. Others, feel free to point and laugh.

Most campaigns have a get-out-the-vote strategy. Trump’s campaign has “three major voter suppression operations“. These, you must realize, are in addition to the registry challenges, the cuts to early voting or number of polling places, and the limits on acceptable ID, all tactics which systematically hurt minority populations, students, and other groups who tend to lean democratic.

As someday it may happen—the election will be done
I’ve got a little list—I’ve got a little list
Of the people who were working so that Donald might have won
They mustn’t now be missed—they mustn’t now be missed!
There’s the media who told us, every time that Donald lied
That it’s crucially important to attack the other side
They told us “both sides do it so they’re more or less the same”
And reinforced the narrative “they’re equally to blame”
There’s more to their transgressions, but that’s pretty much the gist
And so they’re on the list; and so they’re on the list
We’ve got them on the list; we’ve got them on the list
And they mustn’t be dismissed—They must not be dismissed! [Read more…]
The Pols down in DeeCee loved taxes a lot
But the Drumpf, who lived up in Manhattan, did not. [Read more…]
He’s razor-sharp, or even keener,
Calm and cool is his demeanor;
Ranting “Neener, neener, neener!”
Never was his style;
Poised and thoughtful, his debating,
Never stoops to low berating,
Turns aside barbaric hating
Merely with a smile.
Logic is the tool he uses,
Striking when and where he chooses;
Quick and strong, he never loses–
Always wins the prize;
Ready for a rough-and-tumble
Sure of foot; he’ll never stumble.
Through it all, remaining humble…
Problem is, he lies. [Read more…]
This race might be one that’s best tackled unshackled—
Unchain me, you losers, and let me fly free!
I think I might surge without Ryan—I’m tryin’;
The best course of action is “Let Me Be Me!”
We don’t need to mention how racist my base is,
Or how xenophobic I am on the stump
It’s anti-establishment voting I’m noting
And no one can play the outsider like Trump! [Read more…]
Trump is filled with Holy Spirit
You can tell, cos you can hear it
Every time the thin-skinned orange bigot sniffs
See, when folks start acting strangely
It’s because they’ve gone all angel-y
Says Pat Robertson (no ands, no buts, no ifs) [Read more…]
Burn it down and start things over
And the rich will live in clover–
And the poor? They won’t be living much at all.
When a problem needs some fixing,
You can bet my plan is nixing:
Burn it down and start things over, that’s my call! [Read more…]
So… roughly 2 years ago I wrote about Bridgegate–the Chris Christie scandal, wherein he supposedly ordered underlings to shut down a bridge… wait, never mind, I wrote about it here: [Read more…]
When comparing the opinions
Of the candidates (and minions)
One can see that the two parties disagree.
In a way, though, both are trying
To expose the other’s lying—
It’s the difference that’s instructive, we can see. [Read more…]
