                                                                                        Another Pinocchio Politician

                                                                                          “In time of universal deceit—

                                                                                  telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”  

                                                                                                   —George Orwell

 

Fat cats, ‘watchdogs,’ hawks, lame ducks,

J6 wild Boers and other

Dangerous animals prowling Capitalist Hill,

War House and White Supreme Court…

Pariah—liar—pants on fire! Old kleptocrats

suffer no selfies with sloppy swindler.

Name dropper/big whopper, temporarily shunned.

Left alone with his phone. Avoiding eye contact of

Slicker, senior thieves texting White lies/alternative

facts. Jr.’s just 34. His lying, though, is already…

Presidential…

Jr. said he rescued 2,400 dogs; 280 cats…

Said as landlord—he lost money ‘cause

of COVID measures protecting tenants

‘Squatting’ on his properties…

Said he graduated from Baruch—but the

registrar’s office sounded like an orchestra of

Owls… Swore he’ll defend against foreign/domestic

Enemies—J6 selfie’s worth more than 10,000

words… Jr. says he’s a professor, but doesn’t unpack,

center or Contextualize like the rest…

Jr. says he’s Jewish with Latino lineage—

‘White’ but can still tan with the best…

Says his grandparents were holocaust

survivors. But if he’s a Boy From Brazil

maybe his grandparents were

Guards at Treblinka and Buchenwald?

The People are demanding his resignation!

Jr.’s stubborn! He plans to ride his scandal out…

The People are demanding his resignation!

Jr.’s stubborn! He plans to ride his scandal out…

Said 2/3 House vote’s required to oust him. House

is glass…Expect no thrown stones anytime soon…

Jr.’s just a leper—learning curve to over

come before welding Warfare State

Power…Before stealing Pentagon-style—like junk

metal-chested generals, greasy-thumbed accountants,

sleazy senators and other corrupt congress

members…

Jr. isn’t skilled yet for stealing like big boys and

girls— WMD company shareholders

who make money the old-fashioned way:

Koch Brother hands up their asses, moving smart-

ALEC mouths—

PASSING FASCISM OFF AS DEMOCRACY…
