Musk with help from a team of six engineers aged 19-24 have taken control of government agency computers including the Treasury Department, US Agency for International Development, General Services Administration (they sent an email to managers telling them to begin ending the leases on federal offices), Small Business Administration, and Department of Education. This coup puts the billionaire class in a position to carry out policies in their self interest--not ours. While this receives fleeting coverage in mainstream media, the billionaires want to create a scenario of perceived savings to justify a huge tax cut, which will transfer money from the middle class to the mega rich. Not so bad for the typical worker in a trickle down economy who builds mega yachts.

Thanks Sally, I do speak to people working for various departments in the Federal Government, and there are many under stress right now. I hope your niece and many others affected will be OK...it is hard to understand how leaders can be so cruel, but then again, money and greed are strong motivations for Trumpenstein and his Victor Orban model.

Public appearances by political personalities, especially the former president (POTUS), are the unpredictability of Fabulous Limerick, my friend Duke. In a humorous and satirical way, the poem alludes to "Trumpington DC" as a fanciful and hypothetical option, while implying that places like Mar-a-Lago and Chicago may be ruled out. Geography, celebrity culture, and political power are among the topics that the subject touches on.

SP, thanks so much for reading and commenting! I couldn't decide if it should be Trumpington or Muskington! George Washington could not tell a lie. These psychos can only tell lies. They also grab my attention span, which bothers me a bit. We'll just have to let this play out and see what happens when they start ignoring the court decisions that go against them. I feel badly for the founding fathers and the connection many of us have to their wisdom becoming lost--the benefits of divided government.

IE, that was a strange press conference. Netanyahu had quite a smirk on his face. It seems some people don’t matter. Only money matters. We helped Israel destroy Gaza, and now we want all the residents to relocate? This all reminds me of how we treated native Americans and slaves. In the meantime, parts of our government are being shut or curtailed by the richest billionaire on Earth. I’ve been spared so far, but this will ultimately affect a lot of us.

Your poem is well constructed yet not too long, like a musicians lyrics to a windsong. I like the intrinsic message best of all, in dead of winters historical undoence haul. Keep warm ~ Living in the USA

Thanks Anaya, A group of us here in the eastern US are looking for a place to protest this coup in person. While some inefficiency exists in government, it's up to Congress to pass legislation to fix it. What we have now is a power and money grab by some very well-to-do oligarchs...the kind who are building survival bunkers and buying huge yachts. Seems like they are expecting some kind of blowback. The sadness to me is that the humility of George Washington (who would never tell a lie) has been displaced by the current psycho-narcissistic dictatorial monsters.

I know where he SHOULDN’T be…sitting in the Oval Office. A War of narcissists is taking place between a Muskrat and a Dirty rat. Your Limericks and AI pics are so well created, Duke.

and now he wants to end the war between Palestine and Israel by taking charge of the Gaza Strip. Seriously, let him make that trip on Air Force One and then we'll see T rump on the run.

Thanks Lin, we knew this was coming and here it is. So far, we're told to expect it's going to be great. What happens when it's not? That time is probably not so far off. The people in charge have a rather derogatory view of ordinary people. They've been able to hide that from people for now. Anyone who has any knowledge of history knows this doesn't end well.

Another great limerick, you do these so well.. a lot of strange news coming out of the states.. I do wonder how much of it is true and how much is blown out of proportion...

Hi there SO. Apparently Musk and company now have access to several government agency purse strings and they are making decisions on their own. It's quite serious and a form of coup. Some work done by federal employees is on hold and some have been fired in a manner that appears to be illegal. There's so much noise here, it's difficult for average citizens to make sense of it all...which is what the people in charge are banking on. We have a psychotic sociopath in charge, a Congress that won't do anything to stop him, and a judicial system that won't be able to stop him either.

Most of it is true and there’s no telling what other things we don’t hear about that shouldn’t be happening in the circus that DC has become.
