Bye, Corona …

The Tyrumposaurus, his mighty minions and a smarter-than-the-average dino or two sat back-cave. They were awaiting the T-Rump’s first address to Dino Nation’s Mediacircustops in over a year. The situation was dire. The Coronavirus was sweeping the dino world and had finally landed — with 60 cases — in the Milkanhoney Preservation. The T-Rump had briefed his heartless hangers-on of what he planned to say and they all wished he hadn’t.

“T-Rump, blessed T-Rump,” said the Mincepencenow. “I – I really don’t think it’s a good idea to go out and tell Dino Nation what you’ve shared with us. You’re a great leader, and I’d swim to the bottom of the worst smelling swamp for you, but …” He trailed off.

“Sure you would,” said the T-Rump, eyeing him with contempt. “I just bet you would. Why, I’ve a good idea to make you the dino czar of this whole thing.”

“No, please don’t. Mother wouldn’t like that.”

“Hey!” It was the Alexazar. “You said I could be the czar of this whole, uh … thing.”

The T-Rump frowned. 

“I don’t like your tone. How’d you like to be acting czar?”

The surprised expressions from his dino sycophants surprised even the T-Rump.

“Okay, maybe that straight-from-the-gut decision wasn’t the greatest decision ever. But it was good. Wasn’t it?”

Coughing up of phlegm all around. The Tymelania saw this as her chance.

“Donald?”

“Yes, what is it?”

“I only listen to one thing that Rickwilson says.”

“That’s good.”

“He says everything you touch dies. Don’t do this. You are playing with death. I don’t want to die. You, well. What can I say? Be best.” 

“Okay, I guess.”

He turned to the Anneschuchat, a dino who knew her way around sick dinos and then some. 

“Anne, what do have to say on this. Maybe more than me?”

“Maybe. But you see, the less I tell you, the better. You’re just going to say what you’re going to say, right?

“Straight from the gut. You know it.”

“So, T-Rump. I will speak after you. The clean-up will be much easier this way.”

“Clean-up? Did you say clean-up?” The germaphobe checked his hands. “What are you cleaning up? I don’t have the Coronavirus already, do I?  Do I?” 

Shrugs all around. Worried, some not-so worried and a couple surprisingly gleeful.

“Have you been to see the Chopstickchowmein?” asked the Anneschuchat.

“No.”

“Then you’re fine.”

“Oh.” A sigh of relief and long inhale of bravado. “Of course I am.” 

Flustered, he jumped up from his squat. There was no holding him back. As usual. He signaled for the intro and it began. He entered the briefing cave, dino tails raining blows against the wall. They soon had the knack.

 

Hoo, my little pretty sun, my pretty sun

Are you gonna burn up in time, Corona?

Hoo, you know it’s one and done, it’s one and done

I’ll be comin’ off lookin’ fine, Corona

 

Never gonna stop, give it up, gotta get this right

And Larry said it, yup, said that it’s pretty much airtight

Fifteen, five, two, one. Woo!

 

Buh-buh-buh-bye, Corona

 

Stay a little farther, huh, my wall, huh?

A quarantine I can walk by, Corona

Keepin’ it a mystery, it won’t get me

Findin’ you a nice, new fall guy, Corona

 

Never gonna stop, give it up, we’ve got brilliant minds

Nancy and that Chuck, just shut up, you should get behind

Fifteen, five, two, one. Woo!

 

Buh-buh-buh-bye, Corona

Buh-buh-buh-bye, Corona

 

When you gonna give to me, g-give to me

Is it just a matter of time, Corona?

Is it d-d-destiny, d-destiny

Or is it dementia of my mind, Corona?

 

Never gonna stop, give it up, til the cure we find

We’ll soon have it up, no mix-up, so just get in line 

Fifteen, five, two, one. Woo!

Fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fifteen, five, two, one. Woo!

 

Buh-buh-buh-bye, Corona

Buh-buh-buh-bye, Corona

Buh-buh-buh-bye, Corona

Buh-buh-buh-bye, Corona

 

Hoooooo … c’mon, Mike, bye, Corona

Hoooooo … don’t let me down, Mike, bye, Corona

Hoooooo … Hey, didya get your flu shot?* Bye, Corona

Revolution …

A revolution was sweeping Dino Nation. The first three battlegrounds of the spring-summer campaign before the November Battle Royale had come and gone. History had been made. The Berniesanders had done something no dino had ever done before. Besides being trapped in amber for 99 million years. But that’s only how Bernie felt. He had triumphed in the Iowa Corn-cob-us, the Newhamp Shires and most recently the Reno-Keno Ruckus. It appeared that after being thrown under the Priebusunderbus four years earlier by the Crookadillary, it was finally Bernie’s time to come out. Time for his revolution.  

The Reno-Keno Ruckus had been especially gratifying. Dinosaurs of all stripes and colors, from all dino demographics, had come out to support him, proving the 78-year-old dino was not a one-species specialist. They all loved Bernie. Unlike the scrappy Donkeykongrus dinos competing for dino leadership. They’d once numbered in the twenties but were now down to single digits. Of those remaining, the Elizabethwarren had peeled away from him to lambaste every dino in site. The Buddhajudge pleaded with dinos not to fall for Bernie and his too-much, too-soon beastly social dino trap. The Michaelbloomberg had called Bernie a Commiedino but dinos with their feet on the ground knew better.

All these attacks fell by the wayside as Bernie’s message resonated with dinos who for too long had felt left behind in that wayside gully dinos referred to grimly as the Long, Long Lurch

Bernie stepped to the flat rock lectern to address his volunteers, his followers and his appetizer hunting crew. Every dino loved appies. He smiled out at the dino multitude contentedly licking their lips of some salty Salamander-Iguana fresh kill. Bernie stared his get-busy stare and raised a hand holding a short branch.

“I’ve got news for the Grandoldparty establishment. I’ve got news for the Donkeykongrus establishment. They can’t stop us!”

He dropped the branch. That was it. A branch drop. That was all it took. 

The dinos before him rose as one. A hush spread over the audience. Then came a rustling and a rising of voices, chanting, “Not me. Us. … Not me. Us. … Not me. Us.” It was a movement of many coming to fruition. To take back their beloved Milkanhoney Preservation from the T-Rump. Tails began banging against the nearest solid object and dino roars erupted heartily into their new anthem. Their calling. Their raison d’etre.

So Bernie’s got a revolution

Well, he knows

He’s all set to change the world

He cannot wait for evolution

Well, he knows

Fossil fuels will kill the world

The time is now for the election

Bernie will surely get the vote out

Don’t you know you feel the Bern! Alright

Feel the Bern! Alright

Feel the Bern! Alright

For health he has the real solution

Well, he knows

It’s not another T-Rump scam

The rich must make their contribution

Well, he knows

They should give more than we can

But isn’t it funny Nevada showed us how great

Bernie is one of us, you cannot wait

Don’t you know you feel the Bern! Alright

Feel the Bern! Alright

Feel the Bern! Alright

He will wipe out the destitution

Well, he knows

You need a bed for your head

And what about the institutions?

Well, he knows

The ones T-Rump has left for dead

So if you are tired of pictures of Nunes’ cow 

You can turn to Bernie and take this vow 

Don’t you know you feel the Bern! Alright

Feel the Bern! Alright

Feel the Bern! Alright

The T-Rump Dig Podcast … Days 1124 & 1128

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-kcjr2-d484c1

A mixed bag this week for the hot mess that befell the Trumpassic Period. Up first: Day 1124 — “You Don’t Bring Me Justice” … the Williambarr receives some surprise visitors … and Day 1128 — “Undercover for the Rogerstone” … another T-Rump story that simply wrote itself. Dino tail wags to Neil Diamond and Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show!

Undercover for the Rogerstone …

The Donkeykongrus debate had gone off the rails the night before with the skinny Elizabethwarren raking punishing, non-stop body blows upon the smaller Michaelbloomberg. Then there was the Buddhajudge and Amyklobuchar trading snappy, in your face one-two punches, rocking each other to and fro. But it was the 40-month sentence handed down by the dino judge, the Amybermanjackston to the Tyrumposaurus confidante and con-artist, the Rogerstone, that turned heads and served notice to all in the Puhl-DePlugg Reservoir.

The T-Rump was as usual stomping mad. He stormed around the Oval Dwelling in front of his squatting sycophants, turning to his number-one henchman, the attorney dino general, the Williambarr.

“What the hell was that?! I thought you had things under control!”

“I – I can’t exactly tell the judge what to say.”

“Then what good are you to me? Huh?”

The T-Rump’s glare weighed upon him. The Williambarr again seriously considered quitting. But was this the truth or the party line? Reigning supreme over the DOJ to chaperone every T-Rump whimsy was surely ulcer-bound. The Mickmulvaney sensed this and thankfully intervened.

“He’s doing the best he can, T-Rump. I really think he is. Uh, hopefully, I mean.”

“What about that dino juror? She was totally tainted! Roger’s got a very good chance of exoneration. Doesn’t he, William?”

“Do you want me to lie to you?”

The Willliambarr winced. This false sense of bravado must be a byproduct of his inching toward quitting. Maybe he was serious. Maybe he was having a stroke.

“What did you say?” asked the T-Rump.

“Sorry, a feeble attempt at humor.”

“Not feeble. Weak. Very weak. I have an idea however to get to the bottom of this Rogerstone thing. Julian, the Julianassange.”

The Stephenmillerus cocked a sinister eye.

“Isn’t he kind of, uh … off limits right now? The Mediacircustops caught wind that we offered him a pardon if he would testify that the Russodino interference was a hoax.”

“Nobody is ever off limits to me. Remember that. Maybe ol’ Julianassange is going to get that pardon after all. But he’ll have to earn it. Here’s what I want.”

And so the plan was hatched. Dino news travels fast. Especially news that’s dastardly and despicable. The following morning, the dino guard at the Solitary Sinkhole at Thamesmead Belmarsh, where the Julianassange was holed up, informed him that the Wikileakibeak-disgraced dino would be going undercover for the Rogerstone

The Julianassange was positively giddy. He looked to the skies, raised his arms in sweet joy and danced a little jig. He had to dance on the spot however. It was after all a Solitary Sinkhole. But his voice rang out to nearby prisoners and faraway innocents alike …

 

Well, I’m a bombshell springer

I’m a big right-winger

And I’m loathed everywhere I go 

I stole messy secrets and I stole pressing truths

About a thousand leaks, y’know

I had all kinds of bills for Ecuadorian thrills 

But the thrill I’ve never known

Is the thrill when crap’s flowin’, when I’m set to goin’

Undercover for the Rogerstone

Rogerstone … Wanna see me go undercover?

Stone … “He’s so damn sloppy,” said his mother … Yeah!

“Why’s my son a disgrace?” 

Undercover for the Rogerstone

 

He’s got a freaky ole lady name a Naughty Nikki

Who’s emboldened, yes, it seems

He’s a dirty shyster … oh, so tricky

The two make quite a team

Now seven years is a lot of time

To go without your mind bein’ blown

But the blow I’m knowin’ is I’m set to goin’

Undercover for the Rogerstone

 

Rogerstone … Wanna see me go undercover? 

Stone … “He’s so damn sloppy,” said his mother 

“Why’s my son a disgrace?”

Undercover for the Rogerstone

 

Watch T-Rump roll!

 

I got a lot of little extradition matters

T-Rump said would go away

I’m like a genu-wine Indian Guru

With not really much to say

I’ve got no friends but I’ll never ask why

To T-Rump, I’m a welcome bone

And now he’s all crowin’ that I’m set to goin’

Undercover for the Rogerstone

 

Rogerstone … Wanna see me go undercover?

Stone … “He’s so damn sloppy,” said his mother 

“Why’s my son a disgrace?”

Undercover for the Rogerstone

Undercover of the Roger

Wanna see me go undercover?

 

Stone … “He’s so damn sloppy,” said his mother

Wanna see me go undercover?

Undercover for the Rogerstone

You Don’t Bring Us Justice …

The Williambarr rose from his afternoon constitutional squat, scratched his backside against the tree he was hiding behind, pawed the ground and waddled back into his cave. He was startled to find a pair of dinos sitting there waiting for him.

“The Chuckschumer and the Nancypelosi? To what do I owe this unfortunate embarrassment? Our paths were not destined to cross before your damn committee meeting in what, six weeks?”

“We felt it couldn’t wait, William,” said Nancy. “We see what’s happening.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Tell him, Chuck.”

“We caught you red-handed taking actions that attorney dino generals in the past have always steered clear of. You weighed in on the sentencing guidelines of the Rogerstone. You’re launching an investigation into a battle campaign that’s four years old, debunked, de-authorized and decidedly dumb. And you’re still going after the Hunterbiden from his time in the Ukraine Plain.”

“Are you done?” asked the yawning Williambarr. The Chuckschumer looked over to the Nancypelosi who readily took center stage.

“And, lest we forget, your treatment of the Michaelcohen has been very suspect. What are you doing — if anything — with the Rudygiuliani? He can’t keep his paws clean for 24 hours. And we are extremely worried with what you’re doing with the Flynnhasbeen situation. Would you care to enlighten us on the latest?”

“I’m just doing my job, dammit. Now get OUT of my home before I charge you with contempt of my courtyard, my garden and my compost heap.”

“You don’t compost,” sneered the Nancypelosi. “You keep all your garbage hidden away from prying eyes. That story you gave about being upset about the Tyrumposaurus’ Trollertweeties interfering with your daily work is laughable. Maybe you can cover your compost heap with that. See you next month. And if we have to send Subpoenasaurus number 72 after you, we will.”

The two Donkeykongrus leaders exited the attorney dino general’s cave just as an older dino arrived at the entrance. The Nancypelosi recognized him instantly.

“The Neildiamondsaurus? What are you doing here?”

“Well, uh … you know, I don’t do much touring any more. But I still love to sing. So I’m doing some singing telegrams on the side.”

“Oh, that’s nice,” said the Williambarr. “And who sent you?” 

“Oh, that would be the Geoffreyberman, the dino leader at the Southern District of Manhatinhand?”

“I’m well aware of who he is. I, um, find it rather strange that he’d be doing this. We’re not exactly on the best of speaking terms. But you’re here, so … go ahead.”

A cool breeze filtered through the underbrush outside the Williambarr’s quaint, suburban cave. Leaves rustled lightly, the Neildiamondsaurus licked his lips and began.

 

You don’t bring us justice

You don’t keep the law strong

You hardly talk to us anymore

You broke the oath you swore

A thousand say you stray

 

We remember when

There was truth and honesty

Our trust we gave for free

 

Now after watchin’ you be so tight

With all things T-Rump

And your saying what’s right

We won’t just roll over

We will stand and fight

‘Cuz you don’t bring us justice anymore

 

It used to be so factual

The who and what together

But evidence doesn’t count any more

It just lays on the floor

Til you sweep it away

 

And today, we remember

All the shame you brought us

We learned of each crime

And we learned how and why

While you learned how to shove

And you learned how to lie

 

So you’d think you would learn

It’s time to say goodbye

‘Cause you don’t bring us justice

Anymore

 

Well, you’d think you would learn

How to tell us goodbye

No, don’t say T-Rump now

You don’t keep the law strong

You don’t bring us justice

Anymore

This week’s T-Rump Traxx feature: Day 1117 — “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet” … Uh-oh. The Nostradamarus predicts the future for Dino Nation … and Day 1121 — “It’s In the Way I Abuse It” … More doom and gloom. The T-Rump trumpets his latest freedom to be who he really is. A wag of the dino tail to Bachman Turner Overdrive and Eric Clapton.

It’s In the Way I Abuse It …

It was a natural instinct for dinos to hide. Because big dinos ate little dinos. Other reasons to hide included open, profusely bleeding flesh wounds, two-timing dinos during mating season and of course, knee-knocking shame. Which brings us to the Susancollins, she of the Oh-I-kid-you-not-the-T-Rump-has-learned-his-lesson infamy. Ever since she had voted against impeaching the Tyrumposaurus for that flimsiest of flimsy reasons, the Manuraju, a most industrious Mediacircustops had taken delight in tracking her down to ask her just one more time, how did her wee walnut process that whimpering weasel of an excuse? A weasel that quickly splattered against the Tree of Truth two nanoseconds later when the T-Rump had embarked on a week of being emboldened that rivaled the Napoleonosaurus’ march on the vaunted Moscovian Bluffs

The Susancollins breathed a quick, hiccup-like sigh of relief as she laid low in the low-lying Depression de Preshun, a marshland for mush-minded dinos seeking instant refuge. Her nerves were shot. She was shaking like a leaf. Damn that Manuraju. He would be the death of her. She had a big November battle coming up. How could she show her face to the dino masses back on the Maine Plain? She’d tried changing her protect T-Rump excuse to it-didn’t-rise-to-the-level-of-impeachment but that was one expiry date that had long since passed and like a one-hit-wonder, she was now The One-Excuse Wonder. 

A Michaelbloomberg Trollertweety flew by overhead.

“Squawk! Hey, T-Rump! I have w-a-a-a-a-y more moolah-moolah than you! Which means my Trollertweeties will find you, to remind you that you are stupid, you are incompetent and you are a barking clown dino! And now I’m off to tell your friends before you can defend yourself! Squawk!”

The Susancollins couldn’t help herself. She tittered at the message, slightly slobbering down her front. Oh, she wished she could stand up to the T-Rump but she knew that would simply be the end of her. Why couldn’t she be more like the Nancypelosi? Now there was a female dino who had no problem standing up and roaring at the nasty T-Rump.

There came a rustling in the bushes. Was it the Manuraju? Or maybe another DOJ, that is, Dino Open-Jawed legal dino exiting the swamp post haste? She peered through the marshland bulrushes. 

It was the T-Rump!

And he was singing. Oh, no! He was singing that song. Again. The one that was positively driving her around the bend!

 

It’s in the way I abuse it,

Right under your nose

It’s in the way I abuse it,

For friends and my foes

 

And I tell Barr I will lose it,

I don’t tip toe

I play my fun game of Who’s It?

Who’s next to go?

 

I’m always right and you’re always wrong

Justice is weak, I’m making it strong 

You were all losing til I came along

Don’t disobey me or you will be gone

 

It’s in the way I abuse it,

Right under your nose

It’s in the way I abuse it,

For friends and my foes

 

It’s in the way I abuse it,

Right under your nose

It’s in the way I abuse it,

For friends and my foes

 

And I tell Barr I will lose it,

I don’t tip toe

I play my fun game of Who’s It?

Who’s next to go?

 

Those I withdraw, you will like this

My revenge so raw, you will like this

My rewards bring awe, you will like this

Without rule of law, you will like this

 

It’s in the way I abuse it,

For friends and my foes

It’s in the way I abuse it,

And who’s next to go?

You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet …

The large-noggined Nostradamarus leaned back against the shady Holyoak Tree at the corner of Astrodon Avenue and Styracosaurus Street. It was a busy intersection of migration routes and a prime location to spout doomsday sayings. He watched intently at the dinos hurrying along, always on the lookout for their next meal. There was simply no time these days for existential thoughts.

That’s where the Nostradamarus came in. He made it his business to keep dinos up to date with the life-threatening news that may on the surface appear as harmless fluff in the grand scheme of things. The Nostradamarus had seen a lot hanging out at the Holyoak. He’d watched the Joemccarthy Red Dino Scare picked apart by the veteran Mediacircustops, the Edwardmurrow. The Nostradamarus had been watching when the Trickydickeroo fell into the dire Watergate Straits and been forced to give up his reign in the Oval Dwelling. But lately, with the Tyrumposaurus in power, he couldn’t wake up any day of the week without giving serious thought to slamming his eyeballs shut and just going back to sleep. 

But the Nostradamarus had a job to do. He’d opened his eyes and dutifully dragged himself out of his cave down to his doomsday domain to alert the masses that these were indeed desperate times. The Muellersavus investigation had not exonerated the T-Rump. On the contrary, the ten counts of obstruction of justice merely scratched the surface because the very day after the Muellersavus said, “Hey! This dino? Watch out for him. No, I mean really watch out for him,” the T-Rump had contacted the Zelensky to have him stir things up in the upcoming November battle. That is, if the Zelensky wanted help against the Russodinos in his backyard. The Ukraine Plain scandal that followed led to the recently completed impeachment trial in the Sin Hut where all the Grandoldparty dinos, all except the venerable Mittromney, agreed that the T-Rump was — horror of horrors! — innocent because a fair trial was after all possible without relevant witnesses. It was enough to make a dino choke on a Porcupinaurus.

What was next? How bad was it going to get? When would this end? Prospects were not good. The attorney dino general, the Williambarr was solidly entrenched in the T-Rump’s corner. Add in 50+ Grandoldparty Sin Hut dinos, all blatantly exposed as lapdog sycophants with the November battle still nine months away, and it was anybody’s guess. Ahem, the Nostradamarus’ guess. 

The prognosticating prong-horned dino sighed and looked overhead at the gleaming sun. Top of the hour. Time to again bring his message to the dino nation. Being a doomsday dino was a lonely job with few merits and fewer hand-outs. But bringing it meant singing it. Fortunately for him, it was a catchy tune.

 

I met the devil T-Rump

He stole my soul away

He said, I need more comin’ to me

Today and everyday

He thinks that any shove is good shovin’

So he pushed them out, no sweat

His walnut brain cracked one more time 

He said,

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet

M-m-m-maybe, you just ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet

Yovanovitch, you never gonna forget

M-m-m-maybe, you just ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet

Nothin’ yet

Your knees on the ground

That’s how you behold me

 

And if you are a bettor

You’ll win this bet for sure

They took him to a doctor

And he said there is no cure

T-Rump said that when push comes to shove

So he fired those a threat

Another complete reset

And then his walnut brain cracked one more time

 

He said,

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet

M-m-m-maybe, you just ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet

Hey, Vindman, here’s something you’re never gonna forget

Fired! You know, you know, you just ain’t seen nothin’ yet

You need educatin’

Did you go to my school?

 

Any shove is good shovin’

On Pete Rose, he was dead set

The Hall of Fame, his best bet

And then, and then, and then

And his walnut brain cracked one more time

 

He said

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet

Maybe, you just ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet

I’m stumbling, I’m bumbling

Gordon Sondland, you’re never gonna forget, maybe

Maybe, maybe, maybe you ain’t seen n-n-nothin’ yet

Your knees on the ground

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet

That’s how you behold me

He said, you need to join my cult, follow my rule

We know we ain’t seen nothin’ yet

We know we ain’t seen nothin’ yet
