[Bro] With No Hoes...

 

What's Up With Lindsey Graham? Andrew Prokop, Vox

Ms. Lindsey had a hissy fit,

During the Brett “I like beer” Kavanaugh confirmation,

Never mind,

The 4,500+ credible tips,

Or the tearful testimony by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford,

(Coming out of hiding from online death threats)

It was Clarence Thomas and Dr. Anita Hill in whiteface,

“High tech lynching” accusations to white male privilege histrionics,

All of it FBI Director Christopher Wray,

Ignored,

Because he and “Beer Brett” went to law school,

It makes you wonder if we’ve ever HAD the “rule of law” or justice?

 

So, he repeated it,

For Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s

Historic confirmation hearing,

The FIRST African American woman,

In the entire HISTORY of the Supreme Court,

And more qualified than the sitting Justices,

That includes Chief Justice John Roberts,

Playing to the dwindling demographic,

Of Fox Propaganda viewers,

Anti-vaxxers,

Flat Earthers,

Science deniers,

QANON,

And other conspiracy theorists,

(I’m looking at you, Alex Jones)

 

Lindsey thinks that’s his shtick,

Because he pushed another sexual deviant,

Onto the sullied Supreme Court,

With “Uncle Ruckus” Clarence Thomas,

Whose wife Ginny appears to be straight QANON,

Mad texting Mark Meadows about overturning an election,

Because her preferred fascist candidate,

Dumbo Gambino lost,

 

“Cancun Cruz” had a hissy fit,

Talking about something that doesn’t exist,

Theodore Raphael, a hint:

Racist babies aren’t racist babies unless they have racist parents,

It then behooves us to teach them different lessons,

But that discontinues 400 years of the superfluous grift,

Of concentrating wealth and power,

In the hands that don’t deserve it,

In the hands that didn’t build this nation with their blood and sweat,

Like Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson’s ancestors,

Cancun wasn’t interested in interrogating

Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson’s judicial record,

The only verdict he cared about,

Was whether, like a supreme narcissist, he was trending on Twitter,

And he was: hashtag - Ted Cruz is an idiot.

 

I could talk about “Toy Story Woody” fisting insurrectionist Josh Holly,

Asking if Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson would be “soft on crime,”

The sheer gall, challenged by an insurrectionist,

I could talk about the 80s “big hair” Masha Blackburn asking Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson to “rate Christianity” over other religions,

Like she’s conducting a class in kindergarten,

And not her duties in the senate,

Forgetting about that clause in The First Amendment:

 

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,”

 

Or, nice guy “reasonable republican” Ben Sasse from Nebraska,

Who’s going to vote against the next Supreme Court Justice,

Following the lead of the Kentucky racist, fascist evil turtle, Moscow Mitch,

Mike Lee doesn’t even bother a mention,

 

I want to return to the enigma of Ms. Lindsey,

 

Questions:

How is a 66-year-old avowed bachelor,

Never married and still lives with his mother?

 

How did he promote to full bird colonel,

In the Air Force Reserve,

As a member of the Staff Judge Advocate,

When the main requirement is you deployed to a war zone,

Please list the conflicts where you’ve been in combat,

What’s that?

Crickets are chirping in the distance,

 

Senator Shelton Whitehouse coined this:

You’re the “bro with no hoes,”

No “little Grahams” will follow you after your earthly loss,

You’ve never had a wife or a girlfriend,

Your sister was going to be First Lady had you won the primary and presidency,

Yet you say, “I’m not gay.”

Well, are you a hermaphrodite?

Nothing’s wrong with either state,

But you seem intent on aiding fascists,

That would as soon hang you as Mike Pence,

 

You glom onto the republican “flavor of the month” when it suits your interests,

First, you were all about Ronald Reagan,

Next, you sidled up next to John McCain,

When you lost the Republican Primary to the same miscreant, who YOU said:

“He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic bigot,”

You, like Cancun and your spineless jellyfish party,

Allied yourself with Orange Julius,

Who thinks he’s Caesar,

Instead, he and the party are Russian assets,

And in spy parlance, “useful idiots,”

 

You were impeachment manager for a blow job,

“What about the children?”

The blow job saw acquittal in the democratic senate,

A generation later,

Awarding acquittal under Moscow Mitch over a [not] “perfect phone call” to the Ukrainian president,

Making mob shakedown political precedent,

Now, we’re tiptoeing an existential precipice,

Speculating about Armageddon,

Now, you’re calling for the assassination,

Of the same psychopath, your party’s alliance gave us the Manchurian Candidate,

 

Quote:

“We’re not going to have enough angry white guys in the long run,”

So you made one president,

 

I guess no one will know the sins of,

Ignoring climate catastrophe for profits,

Dark money as “free speech” accepted,

Blocking the marginalized from voting,

Failing to address a deadly pandemic,

Reducing the “party of Lincoln” to no stated platform in 2020,

(And none for the midterms, or going forward)

When we’re all reduced to radioactive ashes,

That takes CYA to another level,

Ashes won’t care whether you were in the closet,

 

Your legacy will be as a living sample of [political] silly putty,

Weather vanes have more stability,

I cannot diagnose your psychological woes,

But you are forever, “the bro with no hoes.”
