The pardon and release of cop beaters signal members of Congress that they better do as the monster says. The same applies to cancellation of security details for former government officials who are under threat of death. It's a clear message to all of us that we now live in a de facto dictatorship.

The proud boys fill Trumpenstein’s need
His pardons saw oath keepers freed
They’ll serve this nation
Intimidation
And feed our great narcissist’s greed

Thanks for your generous to support reading so many of my poems. You are a most gracious person and witty limerick writer.

I do not believe this. My nephew was at the Jan 6 protest. Many there saw opposite of what was told by media. My nephew is not a liar. He was escorted by a female cop through the gate. Just what really is going on? Biden can pardon his family members before their crimes are even brought forward? He can pardon the hideous Fauci? And yet people have a cow when Trump pardons people who mostly did hardly anything compared to rioters in other major cities? Why different sides to stories?

Andrea, there were many peaceful protestors there, but there were some who committed violent acts and should never have received pardons. The violent people are now part of an intimidation squad that DT might call upon again if he feels like it. That's not a good thing.

I am not excusing the few that were rowdy but people need to know many there were also peaceful

Thanks Anne-Lise. The world often suffers at the hands of a few with a lust for power. This time is no exception. Funny how it's so obvious to some of us. Smiles to you while we are still allowed that pleasure!!

It's going to be a long four years Duke, the attacks on the capital shocked the world, can't believe they've been let off. Tom

Tom, Hi there!!! Every day brings another set of disagreeable things, but it will never take away our inner feelings of strength and wellness for who we are, nor will it take away our search for truth. Letting off the criminals sends a threatening message to any who disagree with the monster. The freed criminals are just pawns as are anyone they hurt in the future. Just fodder for Dick Tatorial (DT). It's about making it easier for him to steam roller over the rest of us and rake in as much money as possible so he can have a Mars estate with neighbor Elon where they will live happily forever.

I'll just say that the photo is absolutely hilarious. Did you create it AI?

Thanks Tom. Yes, I submit what I write (with anything unacceptable removed) to Chat GPT and get an image back. It's made illustrating cheap, but has negative ramifications for a lot of commercial artists, sadly for many of them.

Too many narcissists, dear duke, i have seen some posts on X regarding this too, you are always so good with delivering your views on politics through this form! Absolutely love the rhymes here and how your words flow in such a seamless manner! Pleasure reading you today. Hope the weather is fine there. Sending you light today and always

IE, thanks for your comment. I am well. While the narcissism of Americans is blinding, light from you always makes me smile!! We need to consider that we are part of the same world and not isolated on a separate planet. I've been joking in a couple of comments that rich American oligarchs could go to Mars, but there's not way to build a yacht there or sail on one.

Thanks Arthur. We're in quite a situation. I think we'll see this all not end well. In the meantime, I wish you and other poets much solace! Smiles!!

His idea of justice is as completely backasswards as that word! What could be worse than a President who wants to rule the world? Those who would allow him to do so.

Lin, you raise an interesting and valid point. He would be nothing without his cult members. Hope you are well, of course. Knowing you are here makes me smile!!

The only thing darker than the humour is the reality. Spot on. A newly installed dictator with his vigilante militia. I would love to be wrong. xomo

Maureen, I wish to be wrong as well! But when it smells like a skunk, it's hard to deny what it is! Anyway, I expect Trumpism to become unpopular at some point...for example when prices don't come down. We need a competent leader on our side who can speak to the people! So far, I haven't really seen anyone who fits that bill.

Dear Friend, Duke. Your fantastic limerick poem provides a critical viewpoint on political power dynamics, notably the link between President Donald Trump and radical organizations such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. It implies that Trump's acts, such as pardoning persons linked with violence, represent a trend toward authoritarianism in the United States. The poem's wording is powerful and aggressive, with words like "pardon," "release," "intimidation," and "narcissist" conveying a feeling of urgency and danger. The term "monster" implies a dehumanization of power, whereas "great narcissist's greed" prioritizes self-interest over the greater good.

SP, I really appreciate your analysis. There will be many acts intended to instill fear in people. Many government workers will leave and many will be unable to do the work they love, which was designed to benefit and protect all. As change accelerates, I'm getting more of a bad feeling. We all breathe air that covers the earth, use water which does not respect international borders, and use food and medicine that comes from different places. So why not make the whole world great for every human and every species?

Thanks Jan. He definitely wants to be a global dictator. I heard he changed his mind on changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. He wants to call it the Gulf of Trump. I don't see how this will end well for him. However, many will suffer before he's seen for what he is.
