First you have to dangle some Ukrainian bait
\nfigure out some new conspiracy fears to create
\nset an impossible to reach achievement date
\nimply this campaign scam is inescapable fate
\nlet some billionaire bully boys out of the gate
\nobstruct all Congressional steps to investigate
\ndestroy emails and documents before its too late
\ntrick out clubs and towers with fixtures ornate
\nspecify bathroom fixtures all be 14K gold plate
\nwatch Saudi oil fields around and near Kuwait
\nkeep a closer watch on the Federal interest rate
\ngive bonus oil shares to the Secretary of State
\nlet the release of years of my tax returns just wait
\non Putin\u2019s pipeline going through the Ukraine relate

\n\u2018Truth Isn\u2019t Truth\u2019: Guiliani Rap Perjury Trap<\/strong>
\nFormer New York City mayor, prosecutor, and Trump adviser Rudy Guiliani recently answered a question by stating on TV \u201ctruth isn\u2019t truth.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u00a0
\nChildren separated, some in cages, many parents are deported
\nFake news? a big hoax? give me a break, a lie is a lie till you die
\nits all been seen online and TV, photographed and duly reported
\nsome objective reporting, \u2018truth isn\u2019t truth\u2019 when is a lie not a lie
\nGuiliani on TV online former prosecutor going absolutely nuts
\nTrump never turns in tax returns, his base slowly sees and learns
\n30 hrs. testimony, no ifs or buts, WH lawyer McGahn spills his guts
\nin his grave George Washington hears the lies and over he turns
\nsenior citizens are now in old age not early rising in their youth
\nyou can\u2019t believe it now because Guiliani says \u2018truth isn\u2019t truth\u2019
\nif truth is not truth then couldn\u2019t old age sometimes be youth
\ntell the truth! Trump does not have a single wisdom tooth.
\nIsn\u2019t it true? Ask me no questions, I\u2019ll tell you no more lies
\nif a bucket of BS is coming close your mouth, shut your eyes.

\n45 Suffers From \u2018Foot in My Own Mouth\u2019 Disease<\/strong>
\nTo \u2018put your foot in your mouth\u2019 means to say or do something that you should not have, especially something that embarrasses someone else.<\/em>
\n\u2014Cambridge Dictionary of English<\/strong>
\n\u00a0
\nThere has been no denial about reports that President 45 is suffering
\nfrom Foot In My Own Mouth Disease, he even took off his socks!
\nNo matter how many aides make corrections and try buffering
\nhe keeps putting his foot in his mouth, shocking! and there it locks
\nhis answers and tweets are comic tragedy, a veritable French farce
\nformer CIA director Brennan calls them \u201cnothing short of treasonous\u201d
\nregarding most of his responses 45 sounds like a classic horse\u2019s arse
\nhe constantly thinks his unthinking knee jerk answers are pleasing us
\nif you have ever read or seen the ancient Greek plays of Aristophanes
\nseen or read histories, comedies, tragedies with Shakespeare\u2019s clowns
\n45 is a living 21st\u00a0century version of all these political commentaries
\nas he stumbles and bumbles through his Presidency\u2019s ups and downs
\nwe recognize autocracy, plutocracy, kleptocracy under 45\u2019s command
\nlet us sing Woody Guthrie\u2019s national anthem This Land Is Your Land.<\/p>\n
