CHECK THIS OUT! A big No King's protest organized by one of our own!

This No King's Day protest was organized by a DUer who wishes to remain anonymous, but of whom we should be REALLY PROUD! Great job, my friend!

The song's good too!

Congrats to Brian. It's an awesome song.
I got no band!!!!!


The oligarch blues

I ran into some poison oak
I really thought that I would croak
But I don’t need to scratch that itch
The money’s needed by the rich.

Without my heart pills, I’m so slow
I’ve lost my get up and my go
But I can manage comatose
If it richens Jeff Bezos.

The doc prescribed me boner pills
That gave my partner awesome thrills
But no one needs a "splendid truck"
I’d rather lower tax on Zuck,

My business just went up in smoke.
But FEMA tells me that they’re broke
Now I work from dawn to dusk
So we can give a break to Musk


------------------------

A song for our time.
Sung to "God enslave The King"



Vulgar the Flatulent

Thinks that he’s president

But he’s not a king.



He got the office back

Through a computer hack

But he’s not a king.



He isn’t hearing us

Sic Semper Tyrannus

Only hears ka-ching.



Drain the economy

Harming both you and me

Profit like a king



His job is never through

Till he bends over to

Kiss Lord Putin’s ring.



(optional)

Two-Fifty Years Ago

We fought to overthrow

A Fugazi King



For all the crimes he has

Lock him in Alcatraz

Where he’ll be the king



(Of a tiny bit of California.)

Unless it’s “reads really nicely!”

(Good to have both bases covered!)

These protests need to happen in all 50 states!

We need thousands of people taking to the streets and non-violently protesting VonShitzInPantz & his GOP enablers at least once a week all over America!

A great website for those who are willing & able to protest is Indivisible.org
(I rarely give out my email address; but I gave it to these folks because I want to know ahead of time when & where the protests will be taking place)

People all over this country are getting organized."
