Babylon...

And another angel, a second one, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of the passion of her immorality." Revelation 14:8

 

The Manhattan Grand Jury,

They have requested the presence of Evan Corcoran,

Who searched for classified documents.

Certified through a proxy,

Hiding behind the legal skirts of Alina Habba,

Getting her to certify the lie that they returned everything to the National Archives,

To use an old gangster film reference:

The "jig" is up!

Jack Smith now has evidence that Corcoran's client, the ex-president,

May have committed a crime,

"No shit?"

Mark Meadows,

And Evan Corcoran's,

Attorney-client and executive privileges have been,

Eviscerated,

Each man has two options:

They can either start dropping dimes on this crime spree,

Or prepare for their orange jumpsuits in Sing-Sing!

 

Orange Satan,

Unhinged by the possibility of being held accountable for the first time in his life,

Rage-posted on his Twitter knockoff, "Truth Social":

 

Predicting "potential death and destruction."

If he is charged.

By the Manhattan DA,

In connection with hush-money payments to

Adult film star Stormy Daniels,

And Playboy Centerfold Karen McDougall,

Two extramarital affairs he willingly entered,

Made by his "fixer," Michael Cohen,

During the 2016 presidential campaign,

Right after the "grab em by the pussy” event,

Michael went to jail for "individual one,"

Moving him to prison during the no-vaccine stage of the pandemic!

 

Orange Juliet,

Posting a photo of himself with a baseball bat,

Next to a photo of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg,

Acting like Robert De Niro playing Al Capone in "The Untouchables,"

The New York Post cover photo had the caption: Bat Hit Crazy.

They misspelled the second word leaving out the "S."

 

Alvin Bragg received a letter that said:

"Alvin: I am going to kill you!"

Whoever did it is from **Florida **.

And mailed him fake anthrax,

A throwback to the scary days after 9/11,

Or, more recently, the MAGA bomber,

Cesar Sayoc,

Also, a **Florida** resident,

Sayoc got 20 years for 65 counts of domestic terrorism,

This evil nitwit has endangered Bragg, his office, the Grand Jury, and, more importantly, his wife and kids.

 

E. Jean Carroll's jury,

For her charge that he raped her in the 1990s,

She has a blue dress ("Lordy") that he refuses to give her DNA evidence.

He sounds like a man who thinks he's "innocent."

Also, for the jurors' safety, they have to be anonymous.

 

The Manhattan DA has only the responsibility to present evidence to the Grand Jury,

The Grand Jury will decide whether to indict him.

A membership whose roster is secret,

Paying off a porn star in New York is a misdemeanor,

Instructing your fixer to make the hush money payments during a presidential campaign is a felony!

 

Our faux billionaire had a "peaceful" political rally,

On the 30th anniversary of the Waco, Texas standoff,

I apologize to all my friends in Austin: he jammed up your traffic!

Less "dog whistle" and more mega foghorn,

He's calling 2024's election cycle "the final battle!"

The proverbial question is, "what's the worst that can happen?"

 

This man is a stochastic terrorist!

He's a malignant narcissist and psychopath!

Hat tip to Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib:

"We impeached the motherfucker” twice. Now jail him!

My Frat, Hakeem Jeffries, said the sadly obvious: "someone is going to get killed" if we don't do something about it.

Marjorie Taylor Greene said something that wasn't a lie:

"There is a two-tiered injustice system" (but she left out) that favors rich, deranged white men.

 

Like Sarah Palin, "Don't retreat: reload!"

Summoned Jared Lee Loughner,

Almost killed Representative Gabby Giffords,

Killing Christina-Taylor Green, a fan of Gabby's, on her ninth birthday,

 

Like Bill O'Reilly,

Remember, "Tiller, the baby killer?"

Dr. George Tiller was killed,

Performing as an usher in his universalist church,

By Scott Roeder:

White, male, cisgender,

The model of today's Christo-fascist,

Which is starting to equate to Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

 

Question: Why does a "billionaire" need you to send him money for [his] legal expenses?

Answer: Because he isn't!

 

He had no idea what the Grand Jury decided,

Let alone the date of their decision,

Which they haven't made yet,

His cult followers fell for the grift.

 

He's going to keep doing it until he's held accountable.

Other than Stormy Daniels, Donald has never been spanked,

Baby Huey has never been in time-out!

He's a man with no respect for boundaries,

 

"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there comes a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of  utter destruction; Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself to be God." 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

 

Or a cult leader.

 

I'm not saying that this is the end,

But we're teetering towards failed-nation status,

Climate change is straining resources,

And empowering authoritarian fascists,

Collectively practicing "Disaster Capitalism,"*

 

We may all be Katrina "refugees" soon.

Fleeing rising seas from warming weather patterns,

Storm exclusive Cul de Sacs and McMansions instead of the US Capitol,

The people with hoarding disorders that call themselves "billionaires" live there.

Who legally bribe their servants on Capitol Hill for their benefit.

They get ninety percent of what they pay for,

And "We The People" get the rest!

Our gun massacres put us in third-world category status,

But keep us too collectively frightened to do anything about it.

 

Grace Linn, 100-year-old World War Two veteran widow:

"They fear knowledge. Fear is not freedom. Fear is not liberty. Fear is control."

Grace Linn, in a wheelchair, is facing down fascism in Florida.

 

If we fail, her husband, who fought the Nazis, died for nothing.

If we fail, all world democracies become the dominoes of oligarchs.

If we fail, it is democracy's apocalypse.

 

Would you rather have dystopia or the closest thing to Star Trek?

Would you rather have Disaster Capitalism or species-saving cooperation?

Would you rather have modernity or the harlot Babylon?

*From "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism," by Naomi Klein – In the book, Klein argues that neoliberal free market policies (as advocated by the economist Milton Friedman) have risen to prominence in some developed countries because of a deliberate strategy of "shock therapy. "This centers on exploiting national crises (disasters or upheavals) to establish controversial and questionable policies. At the same time, citizens are too distracted (emotionally and physically) to engage and develop an adequate response and resist effectively. The book advances the idea that some manufactured events, such as the Iraq War, were undertaken to push through such unpopular policies in their wake. Wikipedia
