In reply to the discussion: Trump Calls for Barack Obama's Arrest Over Alleged 'Coup Attempt' During 2016 Election [View all]gfarber
(223 posts)83. Obama Response
There once was a prez with a phone,
Who rage-posted deep from the throne.
With a COUP! and a scream,
Caps-locked rage stream by stream,
He yelled ARREST HIM! alone and unmoored to the bone.
He swore there was treason galore,
From a decade (or two?) back before.
Proof? Vibes and old beef,
Reheated grief by the leaf
Same bullshit, just louder than yore.
Constitutional nerds spilled their drinks,
As they muttered, What the actual fuck thinks
This mans how it works?
They flipped case law, smirked,
And stress-Googled banana republics.
The base ate it up with a spoon,
Like ragebait lasagna at noon.
No trial? Who cares?
Lock him upwhere?
Somewhere with bars and a moon!
Obama stayed silent as hell,
Like a guy whos done ringing that bell.
Till treason crossed lines,
Went full feral with signs,
And forced a response: This is bullshit. Farewell.
A distraction, they said, icy clean,
From the chaos machine evergreen.
When shit hits the fan,
Trump yells CRIMINAL MAN!
And prays you forget what youve seen.

Poor, Don. I bet he knows if he and Obama opposed each other on a ballot it would be a wipeout for him.

Trump tweets all sorts of shit. The news should not be obsessively reporting it.

I don't know about that. Have you ever seen pictures of his mother? Would you fuck her?
