Crazy Inside the Beltway

Oh, for a while it’s been crazy inside
the beltway,
no telling what insanity arises each day,
with a seemingly psychologically challenged
Prez,
for crying out loud listen to some of the
gibberish he sez!
He cares nothing for the environment,
he takes a wrecking ball to it, I’m spent.
Grocery prices can’t go down,
with our poor Earth’s global warming,
you clown.

Hey, the shutdown is hurting many
Including veteran troops,
as government workers are your target
you nincompoop.
We need to find migrant children who
disappeared,
not you worrying about suspending
late night hosts you jeered.

What’s with the bizarre hairdo,
and the orange makeup that looks
like you’re a new species in the zoo.
It’s crazy inside the beltway,
can we as a country find coherent
and thoughtful candidates, not goofs,
instead of a real life Mad magazine spoof. ~

I don't agree with all the things "T man" does but I respect his negotiating abilities and how he's conquering crime. This shutdown has me a bit baffled.

Hi Sara, Trump just laid off/furloughed a lot of government workers today. Two months before Thanksgiving/Christmas. I hope you have a cozy October night with Bill, blessings to you both.
