start the bidding

While D.T.'s old image was bold
His weird rants seem hoary and cold
If campaign funds fade
The next asset trade
Is having Melania sold

Why would he throw away caution?
Seems like he’s got brain exhaustion
While human slave trade  
Appears retrograde
This artifice needs an auction

Silent One Date: 8/28/2024 10:48:00 AM Your imerick offers a sharp, satirical critique of a well-known public figure, employing humour to comment on the perceived decline in his influence and behaviour. The poem uses wordplay and absurdity to highlight the speaker's opinion of this individual's current state, particularly the idea that his past bravado has given way to something far less effective or appealing.

It's actually a sad thing to watch as he is quite sick and needs serious remediation for his lack of empathy, self control, sense of fairness, and honor--all the qualities that make a viable society. There are about two months left...and we haven't seen anything yet! Hope you are well as you are very kind and thoughtful. I believe you deserve respect and happiness for your wonderful poems and comments.

Mike Gentile Date: 8/24/2024 5:53:00 AM Seems now days to not be so far fetched Duke! Good one!! Happy Saturday!! Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 9/2/2024 5:10:00 PM Thanks Mike....yes I am waiting to get my auction invitation in the mail or online. I imagine that if the election gets closer and Harris looks like she is going to win, then we will see all sorts of strange offers from he crazy candidate on the other side! I can only imagine what he will be offering for sale.

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 8/14/2024 1:36:00 PM Hi Duke, Politics are dirty whether on a higher or lower level, greed stinks and so do politics and politicians. Blessings, Jennifer. Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 9/2/2024 5:03:00 PM Jennifer, yes it's pretty awful what they have to say and do to have power. Some do have principles that they will not violate and those are the ones that if we agree with, we should try to keep in place. I'm thinking of the sacrifices made by the republican politicians who left office rather than go along with the Trump agenda and who are now supporting Harris because they know what is at stake.

Ink Empress Date: 8/12/2024 11:16:00 AM Politics is a very dirty and selfish game: so many in the world use religion and so many other things to manipulate the vulnerable to vote. I hope for better days but as i look around today, i see “ animal farm” by george orwell making more and more sense than ever. Always good to read you and see you post dear duke. Sending you light always Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 8/12/2024 12:02:00 PM IE, yes it can be very malicious. Our courts released unlimited funding into the election process a few years back and the influence buying reflects the desire of some to institute a higher and more stratified class structure with oligarchs on top. Their game is to convince people to vote for a demagogue and against the self-interest of the many. WIth religious influence a person like D.T. may be viewed in a messiah-like context as if he is the only one who can save us from immigrants and inflation. Animal Farm is definitely more on target than ever and I have no problem describing some of these people as animals. However, even that seems too kind.

Nette Onclaud Date: 8/11/2024 9:35:00 PM the circus comes to town with DT in debt and aging all the more... fun lims, duke! Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 8/12/2024 5:57:00 AM Thanks Nette. We are trying to maintain a sense of humor while watching this rather sad individual who models a character in a tragedy. I actually feel sorry for him and wonder if he will ever admit to us that he suffers from delusions.

Silent One Date: 8/11/2024 1:31:00 PM You are really clever with the limericks and that shows here... You could write them on anything.... I'm not sure even Trump would do that to Melanie.. She has been a loyal wife to him, even though he can do foolish things... Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 8/12/2024 5:45:00 AM Thanks SO. His absolute #1 priority is winning no matter what gets destroyed in the process. Therefore, I do believe he would actually would sell his wife if would increase his odds. As he declines in polls, his claims and rants become more and more insane every week. Sigmund Freud University has plans to award those of us studying him a honorary PhD in abnormal psychology after the election.

I Am Anaya Date: 8/10/2024 10:14:00 AM She sold her soul to Trump. Selling it again as a used gold digger sale. His craftiness cruel and cunning. Cheers to gut busting political poetry! The auctioneer was a fabulous idea. They are lining up by the thousands for Kamala/Walz. A stable 60% would be great* (not since Lyndon Johnson) not so impossible? Hoping for a landslide~Anaya Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 8/12/2024 4:33:00 AM I haven’t followed Liz’s tweets, but I thought she was marvelous during the hearings on Jan. 6. I don’t agree with a lot of her policy beliefs, but those are minor compared to Dick Tatorial’s ego, and I believe she would respond to scientific realities as necessary. I Am Anaya Date: 8/11/2024 2:17:00 PM He has, SILENT ONE. Melania Trump quietly entered Another Business Venture linked to something she blasted as First Lady Melania--Trump Gets Dragged for selling 'Shoddy' stuff. Um something about her immigration as well. I Am Anaya Date: 8/11/2024 2:13:00 PM I too would vote for Liz Cheney, her courage for what she has done as a republican congresswoman, do you follow her tweets Duke? She is hilarious! Love her. Duke Beaufort Date: 8/10/2024 12:23:00 PM Anaya, yes her existence serves as an ornament, which he would sell if it would get him elected. I am also hoping we can trounce the world's most selfish and psychotic individual (OK maybe tied with Putin). It's so sad that many (not all) members of his party capitulated to his mafia style of operation. I have said and will say again that I would support Liz Chaney for president if she were running against him since she has honor. He has none and is a real monster. I am ashamed for the human race.

Sara Kendrick Date: 8/10/2024 5:16:00 AM I think he opens his mouth and inserts his foot a large number of times. He has some good points of what he will do as president without saying some of things he says. He looks like he has aged several years since he has gone through what he has gone through. Sara K Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 8/10/2024 12:14:00 PM Thanks Sara, he would sabotage anything for the sake of his own gratification....for example, the bipartisan immigration bill. His rants seem to be getting weirder and weirder. I actually feel sorry for him, as he can't really ever be happy. There's a deep hole in his heart. He needs to spend a year or so living in a poor neighborhood so he can feel what it is like to be poor. He will promise the moon for all of us, but reserve the goods for his very rich friends.

Lin Lane Date: 8/10/2024 3:42:00 AM Rants of nonsensical blubbering is what he's spewing...hmmm isn't that what he accused Biden of doing? He'd probably try to sell Melania... that's how little he thinks of women. Good Limericks, Duke! Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 8/10/2024 12:08:00 PM Lin, no question he is a misogynist. However, that is just the tip of the iceberg. He seems to be losing the ability to reason normally and appears to be having memory issues. In other words...he's too old to be president. He also seems delusional. If he were smart, he would withdraw from this race now.

Karen Jones Date: 8/9/2024 11:08:00 PM lol great limerick! Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 8/10/2024 11:58:00 AM Karen, we're trying to have fun with the crazy campaign D.T. and company are running. They are starting to act with desperation! Interesting to watch him and his kind start to implode. It's like watching the end of Voldemort in the Harry Potter film.

Tom Cunningham Date: 8/9/2024 10:55:00 PM Wow, he's throwing everything at his campaign, even selling the family silver. Enjoy your weekend Duke. Tom Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 8/10/2024 11:45:00 AM Hi Tom, yes this is becoming weirder and weirder. We're hoping he gets trounced. He is acting very strange.
