\ The Great Perversion \ I’ll rewrite history, claim all the praise, Back to monkish ignorance as in olden days. Blame the radicals and ugly migrants in lines, To mask the deep greed of my family's crimes. I'll remake this nation to serve only me, A foundation of ruin my faithful can't see.

≠Immunity≠ I took a clerk who broke the law, The biggest mess you ever saw! I waved my hand and gave a speech, Though state court laws were out of reach. I squeezed the Guv to set her free, And bring her back to lunch with me! I’ll say she fought the phantom cheat, While helping me attempt the feat.

~ Mythical Menace ~ I painted the water a beautiful blue, But then it turned green with a yucky old goo! I say that bad people with razors and knives, Are ruining the pool and the rest of our lives. Now the coating is peeling, the budget is blown, Let's blame a vandal for the seeds I have sown.

\ The Grifter's Creed \ I fund my allies with the wealth you give, And curse the future so that we may live. I break the commerce, strip the fertile plain, And milk the country for our private gain. When all is ruined by our lawless crew, Our hollow monuments will look at you.

| My Massive Mighty Deal | Now the deal is almost done, It's clear I've sold out everyone! They say I stopped a giant boom, And saved the planet from its doom! When in a corner I take a stand, We'll steal the oil from every land! I want a shiny golden prize, To celebrate my mighty lies!

| Mr. Duper | I dropped a bomb in pitch black night, And swear I got the target right! Three mountains fell, or so I say, To hide the truth and save the day. Only China and I can dig so deep, To find the dust with mission creep. I speak to stoke America's fear, All this time there's nothing there.

| Mislead the Press | I send the bombs and tiny planes, And tell big lies about my gains! I tell a fib, I brag and boast, While making up a scary ghost. I say I built the army strong, But every single word is wrong. The enemy is gone, I swear, I fought a war that isn't there!

/¡\ My Barad-dûr /¡\ A grumpy judge is in the way, He will not let us go and play! I say he puts us all in fright, To hide the fact I am not bright. I twist the truth and play the clown, To burn the silly kingdom down! No more free will, no choice to make, I’ll rule the world and souls I’ll take.

~ Deflection Pool ~ A fancy pond, a pool of blue, I painted it and said it’s new! I say it never worked before, And then I lie a little more. With shiny arches in the park, I leave the country in the dark!

I boast of numbers grand and tall, To hide the fact I'll make us fall. I scream at stocks that go the wrong way, And make up history day by day! The market drops, the people cry, While I just sell a silly lie!

I tell a tale of grass and greed, Of golf and war and shiny tweed. I say the bad guy stopped the swing, But I just lied about the thing! The army doesn't care for greens, I'm just a clown behind the scenes!

Old Judge Jimmy tells a lie, He says he is a super guy! A hero in his army clothes, But everyone around him knows. He claims he protects the town, While acting like a legal clown. The courthouse is his silly game, Oh, Jimmy has no sense of shame!

Massie & Cassidy are litmus tests for the GOP cult. They’ve banned dissent to serve a leader who loots the country while despising his own base. The fact that MAGA can’t do the [very simple] math on this blatant exploitation is the height of "Hardcore Stupid."

MiddleClassCardiacArrest? Credit Card Delinquency Rates (%) 1991 (Recession): 3.2% 2001 (Dot-Com): 5.0% 2009 (Great Recession): 6.6% 2014-19 (Goldilocks): 2.4% *NOW: 8.4% *3x the "healthy" rate and well above the 2008 crash. Thank you President Pants-on-Fire! Throw another $1.776B log on the fire 🤯

RE: Massie loss in Kentucky. These people are so hardcore stupid, they’ll be penniless, starving, and eating each other’s pets for dinner, and still follow the will of their cult leader.
