T-Rump Never Knows …

“Hi, guys. How is everybody?”

“Who are you?” asked the Moscowmitch.

“What? Um, you know. The, uh … Johnbolton. Remember me?”

The dinos in the Sin Hut Cave rolled their eyes as one. The embarrassing welcome mat rolled up in Bolton’s face with a snap as the Moscowmitch, the Jimjordan and the Louiegohmert all stared in disbelief at the former dino security advisor. The Moscowmitch was in a positively biting mood.

“What the hell are you doing here?”  

“Well, as you remember, I didn’t spill the beans during the T-Rump’s impeachment. As a result, the Donkeykongrus dinos, they all hate me with a passion. Just because I wrote my memoirs about that, uh … last job I had. So there’s that.”

“You completely trashed the T-Rump!” snorted the Jimjordan. “How could you say all those horrible, terrible, nasty things about our divine leader?”

“We should just gobble you up and swallow you whole,” said the Louiegohmert. “And swallow your bones too, so there won’t be any left to bury.”

“Ha-ha. You’re joking, right?”

The sour puss on Gohmert’s mug said anything but.

“Guess you’re not. Aw, c’mon, guys, I was a good dino. I could’ve destroyed the Grandoldparty but I kept my mouth shut.”

“Hardly. You just put the world on pause so you could make us all look bad later, as you lined your nest with a big heaping pile of crisp, green moolah-moolah leaves,” said the Moscosmitch. “We know how you’re sleeping at night.”

“But you all sleep the same way. The Grandoldparty way. Grifting and lying and deceiving and stonewalling and denying and deflecting and projecting …”

“You’re preachin’ to the choir, Johnny,” growled the Jimjordan.

“So just shut the hell up,” finished the Louiegohmert. “You’re makin’ me feel guilty all of a sudden. Don’t know why. Ain’t no need to talk to you. We don’t need your damn memoirs part two.”

A light went on in the Johnbolton’s walnut dome.

“Well, if that’s the way it’s gotta be, I guess that’s the way it’s gotta be.”

“What, I say what are you talking about?” said a worried Moscowmitch. “Which scandal are you talking about?”

“Jeez, Mitch,” interrupted the Jimjordan. “I thought we were supposed to call them issues. Or fake news.”

The Moscowmitch stared him down and turned back to the Johnbolton.

“Which scandal, dammit.”

“Oh, well, we don’t need to go too far back in time. I mean, we are talking about the empty chair in the Oval Dwelling. If you’re thinking the latest conga line with the Putinodon and the Russodinos, you wouldn’t be far off. Crazy stuff. Can you believe it? The Putinodon giving the Taliban dinos moolah-moolah leaves to – to …. the thought of it just makes me want to lose my lunch. But alright then, if you dinos will be my friends, I’ll tell you. First, I just need to get off a couple of good roars to scare up the wildlife. To set the mood.”

So the Johnbolton roared twice, sufficiently scaring up said wildlife and effectively setting the mood. 

 

The T-Rump had the facts, as did his team 

Why are they lying?

About those dying?

A Putin plot, the bounties were deployed

It is defining

Morally blinding

So months ago, the meeting was within

We are seeing

We are seething

 

Moscow 2-9-1-5-5 hit-and-run

We all are knowing

Whose line he’s toeing

His ignorance, moreso his Russian dread

It is deceiving

It is demeaning

But missing is the courage of his team

They are not giving

So unforgiving

The ear of Putin he has yet to bend

In the headlining

T-Rump’s still whining

His polls declining

He’s still maligning

He’s still dividing

The silver lining?

Time for resigning

Where Have All the Trumpers Gone? …

The two Okla-Tulsa workers went about their mundane task, taking turns with their tails, knocking down rock-by-rock the auxiliary flat rock lectern. Disgust weighed down their grunts. This was make work. The lectern had been set up for the secondary Tyrumposaurus rally point that never happened. The two dinos were locals, the Greenwood — a herbivore — and the Blackwallstreet. They went by Woody and Wally.

Woody’s tail stopped knocking rocks for a moment so he could catch his breath.

“I hear the T-Rump was mighty upset when he looked down from the cliff and saw such a small crowd of his dinos.”

“Yeah, them Firemarshall dinos were johnny-on-the-spot to say only sixty-two-hundred-and-thirteen dinos showed up. That’s some high countin’.”

“Not near enough for the T-Rump. They was expectin’ a hundred, then fifty, then forty thousand to show up. They was beggin’ that last coupla hours, Wally. Beggin’ they was.”

“H-o-o-o-e-e-e-e-e. That Brad Parscale, he started it all by predictin’ a million dinos was gonna show up. The Tyvankanatrix an’ the Kushneratops, they be P-O’d at him big-time.

“Capital P. Capital O.”

“Uh-huh. He be lucky if he can get a job promotin’ baby dino birthdays.”

“I don’t think so, Wally. He just leave cryin’ babies in his wake, he would. You know what that Daveyaxelrod says, a good Politicodino under promises and over delivers, not the other way around. That pooper-scooper Parscale, he’s got it the other way around.”

“Got his tail on backwards.”

“Thass right. And they had the privilege nerve, you know the nerve I’m talkin’ about?”

“Lordy, I do.”

“The nerve to say it was them protesters who kept them all out.”

“Them? Who dat? There was all of one little dino squattin’ there, causin’ no ruckus. Not one peep. She just had the wrong colored skin is all. No matter with that. Unh-uh. Still a free Dino Nation last time I checked.”

“Sure be. I hear those Tiktokkitytiktok dinos done punked the T-Rump. Imagine that. Little kids pullin’ one over on the most powerful dino in the Trumpassic Period. Wasn’t that special, Wally?”

“It sure was, but I gotta ask you somethin’.”

“Ask me what?” 

 

Where have all the Trumpers gone?

I’m just asking

Where have all the Trumpers gone?

They sink so low

Where have all the Trumpers gone?

They became bigots, one-by-one

When will justice return?

When will we ever learn?

 

Where have all the bigots gone?

I’m just asking

Where have all the bigots gone?

They hate to know

Where have all the bigots gone?

They became yes men, every one

When will justice return?

When will we ever learn?

 

Where have all the yes men gone?

I’m just asking

Where have all the yes men gone?

Say it ain’t so

Where have all the yes men gone?

They became grifters, one-by-one

When will justice return?

When will we ever learn?

 

Where have all the grifters gone?

I’m just asking

Where have all the grifters gone?

Our money they did blow

Where have all the grifters gone?

They became convicts, every one

When will justice return?

When will we ever learn?

 

Where have all the convicts gone?

I’m just asking

Where have all the convicts gone?

Pardoned like so

Where have all the convicts gone?

Back to Trumpers one-by-one

When will justice return?

When will we ever learn?

Back to Your Bunker …

“Okay, Stephen, battle plans. Where are we?”

The Stephenmiller grinned devilishly. Inwardly his evil heart did cartwheels through rings of fire as thoughts of indiscriminately tossing immigrant babies to land where they may danced in his head. He absolutely loved his job.

“Well, T-Rump. We’re still getting great mileage out of your, heh-heh … walk in the park. Because that’s what we need to call it.  All those dinos are protesting and you just took a walk in the park.”

“Ahem, T-Rump?”

“What is it, Milley?”

“I just want to say on that point, that I was out of line. I had no business being there. I want to apologize to the Dino Nation for politicizing my position. It, uh … seems I have morals after all.”

“Oh, stop it. I don’t care what your morals look like. Go put’em up on the damn wall.”

“Uh, sir?” It was the Markesper. “You mean murals.”

“Don’t you start with me, Esper. It’s you who got him going on this, wasn’t it? I don’t want you speaking to him any more.”

“But that’s my job.”

“I’ll tell you what’s in your job description. I make this up as I go. You’re already on thin ice. Well, double that. Double thin ice, that’s where you are. And Milley? Where does that leave you?”

“Uh, single thin ice?”

“Don’t get cute with me. Dog House. And you remember that for me because I don’t take notes, I don’t read, I just give the orders and … you two … oh, you two. Your days are numbered. And you can just keep guessing as to what day that is. I’ll get back to you on that. Don’t you worry. And do NOT forget to remind me. Damn generals. Can’t win with them. Can’t win without’em. Carry on, Stephen.”

“Ahem. I just want to say, I love it when you get mad, boss. It makes me want to lower migration levels. Where was I? Oh, yes. That 75-year-old dino from Buffalo-Shuffle, the, uh … Martingugino. Damn exotic species. He’s got a bad head wound from the authorities supposedly knocking him down, but the Antifasaurus angle and our domination theme is playing well with our base.”

“Good, dominate the jungle. And you call that a Buffalo shuffle? Are you kidding me? Worst Buffalo shuffle I’ve ever seen. Pure embellishment. The worst.” 

“Your trip to Dallas-Lone Star? I’ve lined up several black dinos. No radicals, I promise. And you’ll be discussing anything but race.”

“Excuse me, T-Rump?” It was the Bencarson. “I, um … I told the Jaketapper last week that you were going to make an announcement on … this, um … this race thing?”

“Oh you did, did you? Well, that’s what happens when you don’t speak to me first. Blindsided again. Dammit! What is with you dinos? How come I’m always the last to find out around here? You’re just lucky I don’t fire you all. It’s only because the Foxsquawkbox has told me they’re running short of dinos. I may have to ask the Hopehicksbagotrix if she has a cousin. Don’t tempt me. If you guys can’t stay on message then don’t give a message. Just shut up and walk away. All my senators are. How many times do I have to say it? Transparency is kryptonite. Stephen?”

“You’re gonna love this, T-Rump. Okla-Tulsa. I get chills just thinking about it.”

“Never heard of it. What’s so good about it?”

“We’ll schedule a rally there on Juneteenth.”

“What the hell is Juneteeth?”

“A big day for the black dinos. Get this, Okla-Tulsa had a big dino race riot a hundred years ago and there was death and destruction. Lots of death and destruction. On both sides. Wait, it gets better. The Mediacircustops will ask you to say something about the 300 black dinos that were killed there. We’ll tell them that with 1,000 dinos dying from Coronavirus every day now, when you think about it, well … 300 isn’t really so bad.”

“Good. That’s good, Stephen. What about the situation in Seattle-by-the-Sea? Did the dino mayor there listen to my advice and take back her region with brute force — big, dominating brute force — like I told her to?”

“Well, actually, she made the trip here to speak with you personally. Should I let her in?”

“Of course. Oh, you don’t have to leave. You’re all welcome to stay and listen to her grovel. I love the groveling part.”

The Seattle-by-the-Sea dino mayor, the Jennydurkan, entered the Oval Dwelling. A beetle on the wall busied his antennae, beating an imaginary drum in the air.

 

 

Chewin’ on your silly tweet that came to me

Did you even sleep last night?

Gotta say, your finger wag, was that at me?

You’re just looking for a fight

Go back to your bunker

You don’t know how yucky you are, boy

Back to your bunker

Coronavirus runnin’ right thru this place

We should all be stayin’ home

Except you keep ignorin’ facts in your face

Man, you need to change your tone

Go back to your bunker

You don’t know how yucky you are, boy

Back to your, back to your, back to your bunker

 

Well, the Georgefloyd death really knocked you out

You left your heart behind

But most the folks, gonna sing and shout

You gone an’ lost your my-my-my-my-my-my-my-mind.

 

Go back to your bunker

You don’t know how yucky you are, boy

Back to your bunker

Well, the Georgefloyd death really knocked you out

You left your heart behind

But most the folks, gonna sing and shout

You gone an’ lost your my-my-my-my-my-my-my-mind.

 

Show me where it says you push an old man down

Take the blame, you caused the harm

Can you hear the many voices ringing out? 

A nation sounds the alarm

Go back to your bunker

You don’t know how yucky you are, boy

Back to your bunker

Take Me to the Sinners …

“Sick and tired! I am sick and tired of being holed up here. Like I was some common criminal.”

The Tyrumposaurus’s nostrils were flaring. And dripping on his big feet.

“Oh, there’s nothing common about you, boss,” said the Dino of Defense Markesper, gathered in the Oval Dwelling with the dino general Markmilley, the Dino Attorney General Williambarr, the T-Rump and his Mediacircustops mouthpiece, the Kayleighmcenany.

The T-Rump turned to the Williambarr.

“Get out there and see if the coast is clear.”

“To where?”

“I don’t know where. Anywhere! I told you I’ve got a bad case of Cave Fever. The biggest, baddest case of Cave Fever …”

“In the history of the world,” the other dinos finished his sentence together.

“Quit finishing my sentences, dammit! You make me sound predictable.”

“But T-Rump,” asked the Williambarr. “Are you going to at least give me some protection? The natives are, um … restless.”

The T-Rump looked the Markmilley up and down. The general had his best fighting sneer on.

“Hmph, you look ready for battle, Milley. What’s your call on this?”

“Well, you see, boss. We don’t normally pit our fighting dinos against our stay-in-the-cave dinos. It’s, uh … not a good look. This has never been done in Dino Nation history.”

“Great. There’s a first time for everything.”

“Uh, T-Rump?” asked the Kayleighmcenany. “What should I tell the Mediacircustops?”

The pregnant pause gave birth to boundless incompetence. The Markesper finally spoke.

“I’m just gonna tell’em I didn’t know where I was going. Uh, because I don’t.”

The Williambarr perked up.

“Can we all say that?”

“You can,” grunted the Markmilley. “But I have battle-ready dinos out there. I can’t have them running around bumping into each other. Some innocent dinos are gonna get hurt.”

He cast a wary eye at the T-Rump, who picked up on the negative vibe immediately.

“You militaristic dinos are kind of close, I hear. Has that Maddogmaddis been whispering in your ear again?”

Silence from the Markmilley confirmed his guilt.

“What did he say?” grilled the T-Rump.

“He called you the ‘I’ word, sir.”

“Idiot? Well, that’s not too bad.”

“No, sir. He called you, ahem … immature.”

What did you say?

Immature, sir!

The ground trembled beneath the T-Rump’s feet. The other dinos hadn’t seen him this mad in a day-and-a-half. The Kayleighmcenany bit her bottom lip, looking very worried.

“What are you going to do, T-Rump?”

“As you know, I just had my physical. The dino doc noted my high stress levels, the highest stress levels, uh … see my face turning red? To relieve pressure, he suggested that I sing.”

“Sing? Really? When you’re upset like this?”

“Of course. You forget. Power. I’m singing with power. C’mon, march with me. All of you. And hit your tail on the ground like you mean it.”

 

I don’t know what I’m expected to do

Crisis, what crisis? Nothing new.

Break their backs now, stay on their necks

They haven’t seen the worst of it yet

I don’t need you all to tell me

To stay away

Take me to the sinners, don’t forget my daughter

Take me to the sinners, put me on the altar

Washington down! Washington down!

 

I don’t know why they treat me so bad

I’m the best leader that they ever had

They can’t protest, but before I forget

To the bunker, it is time to inspect

I don’t need you all to tell me

To stay away

Take me to the sinners, don’t forget my daughter

Push me thru the sinners, let’s just make this hotter

Washington down! Washington down!

 

Slug them, tease me, shove them, please me

Till they can’t, till they can’t, till they can’t take more of it

Take me to the sinners, don’t forget my daughter

Push me thru the sinners, grab them by the collar

Washington down! Washington down!

 

I don’t know religion from two plus two

Small sacrifice, here’s what we’ll do

Across the park there, we will crawl

Then I will simply stand in front of it all

I don’t need you all to tell me

To stay away

Take me to the sinners and don’t forget my daughter

Push me thru the sinners, hit them good and proper

Washington down! Washington down!

Lie of the Shyster …

An anxious Tyrumposaurus took a quick peek outside before ducking his head back inside the Oval Dwelling. No dangerous dinos. Yet. He was on strict cave-based security status since the protest outside had gone from peaceful to disobey-the-curfew to rabble-rouser hour. His security dinos had considered digging him a hole to hide in but his fear of germs quickly ruled that out. He’d promptly fired the Dino who came up with that brilliant idea.

He took another peek.

“Anybody out there?  I know you’re out there. If you can hear me, Go away! And take your fake news, enemy-of-the-dinos Mediacircustops with you.”

He took refuge back inside the cave. Dammit. I haven’t slept a wink in five nights, I’m so paranoid. They’re all out to get me. This is all about them trying to take me down.

“Ahem.”

It was the Mincepencenow.

“Actually, there are 25 other dino regions where peaceful protests have all gone sideways as well.”

“Your point? They all still hate me with a passion. They’re all Antifasaurae, every last one of them. Domestic terrorists, they are. I’m surrounded by domestic terrorists!”

He took another peek. He thought he heard something rustling.

“Release the hounds!”

“Uh, T-Rump, we don’t have any hounds. You got rid of them because it was an Obamarus thing, remember?”

“Sure, sure. I knew that. Geez, how long is this going to go on? It’s really starting to affect my flogging back swing.”

“Don’t you worry, oh Great One, I will be here every step of the way. You can count on me.”

The T-Rump’s scaly face wrinkled.

“Now that you mention it, you haven’t left my side now for what, five days? What’s up with that?”

“You know I’m here for you, T-Rump. I just want to be close, really close. Right. Here. You know, in case something, uh … happens.”

The T-Rump pointed outside the cave.

“That’s it. Out! I don’t need any dino in here trying to upstage me.”

“But, T-Rump. It’s the order of succession.”

“Great. Another order I have to rinse.”

“You mean rescind.”

“Easy there. Do you know how many dinos I’ve fired for correcting me?”

“437.”

“Don’t be 439.”

“Don’t you mean …”

“You’re forgetting mother.”

“Good gawd, please don’t tell her.”

The Mincepencenow glanced nervously outside the Oval Dwelling.

“But what if they attack me?”

“Oh, don’t you start. They want to throw me out a heckuva lot more than they want you. Let’s be clear. I’m the victim here. Now run along home to mother. Go. Shoo.”

The Mincepencnow meekly yet stealthily exited the Oval Dwelling. The T-Rump turned around just in case his number two dino should turn around with eyes begging for mercy. He had no mercy for begging eyes. None whatsoever. The T-Rump remained stock-still for an extra fifteen seconds to make sure the Mincepencenow was gone. He turned to face the entrance.

A sharp, smart, bright-eyed dino stood facing him.

“A-a-a-c-c-k-k! … Who are you?”

“I’m a survivor. The survivor.”

“Oh, really? Don’t push that Bohemian psycho-babble crap on me.”

“No, seriously. That’s what my friends call me.”

“You can’t fool me. You’re the extreme, radical, liberal, farthest-of-the-far left.”

“Does it show?”

The survivor smiled, baring his gleaming teeth. The T-Rump cringed. Was that false pain in his bone spurs?

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to bite you. I’m a peaceful, law-abiding dino.”

“How do I know that?”

“Well, I could sing to you.”

“I don’t have time for that. Don’t you know I have the attention span of a single cell amoeba?”

“No brain, eh?”

“I think I proved my point.”

“Do you remember what I just said?”

“Uh, no.”

“I mentioned a song?”

“Is it another stupid protest song?”

“Aren’t they all? And here you are, a captive audience.”

“I’m not captive. I’m just … hanging around. What makes your song different?”

“It’s about the very spirit of your actions these past few weeks in the Oval Dwelling.”

The T-Rump yawned.

“And it has a scary opening.”

“Hah. I don’t believe you.”  

The song began with a jolting bolt of a beat.

“A-a-a-c-c-k-k!”

 

Hiding out, only to tweet

About attack dog advances

No empathy, other leaders would meet

These dark times with the words to survive

His allies say, he’s not up to the task

He tries to fashion a story

He’s lost his grip, wants these riots to last

He will fight just to keep them alive

It’s the lie of the shyster, it’s the chill of his might

Stirring a cult-like religious revival

As a proclaimed protector chokes his prey in daylight

And he’s catchin’ us all with the lie of the shyster

Doubling down, projection complete

Not too tough, never manly

Pelosi says I kind of ignore his tweets

They’re just division he wants to drive

It’s the lie of the shyster, it’s the chill of his might

Stirring a cult-like religious revival

As a proclaimed protector chokes his prey in daylight

And he’s catchin’ us all with the lie of the shyster

Virus here, no mask to stop

Has no guts, just wants glory

All distraction, his whine goes to the top

A disgrace he became forty-five

It’s the lie of the shyster, it’s the chill of his might

Stirring a cult-like religious revival

As a proclaimed protector chokes his prey in daylight

And he’s catchin’ us all with the lie of the shyster

The lie of the shyster

The lie of the shyster

The lie of the shyster

The lie of the shyster
