FLOTUS on a Mission

 

"I really don't care. Do U?" Melania's coat read.

Wonder what was going through the First Lady's staff's head.

That is not the message that I'd think they'd want to send.

Even if the White House doesn't care, can't they pretend?

Donald Trump claims she was just expressing her disdain

For the "main-stream media" and not for children's pain.

That strikes me as just another presidential lie...

I don't trust a word he says but, if not that, then why?

Why on earth would anyone emblazon such a phrase

On their back? Their lack of sense continues to amaze.

That's the kind of thing I'd be expecting from a troll.

Never thought I'd live to see the FLOTUS in that role.

Resistance Is Still Futile

 

I agree with Donald Trump. 'though, normally, I'd scoff;

I think that the Russians must still laugh their asses off,

Gleeful that the couple million rubles that they spent

Bought them such a "useful idiot" for President.

One who won't impose the sanctions that the Congress passed.

One whose foreign policy decisions are half-assed.

One with a well-documented tendency to lie.

One who doesn't trust his NSA or FBI.

They had so much fun the last time that they're back at work;

On-line trolls pretending they're an ordinary jerk.

Then their "bots" start amplifying those extremist views -

Spreading their conspiracies, supported by fake news.

It is kinda funny - in a tragic sorta way;

I've been doing Putin's job for him (without the pay)

Each and every time that I start kicking up a fuss...

That is worth a couple laughs, except the joke's on us.

Knowing that the Russians have been weaponizing memes

With results that far exceeded Putin's wildest dreams

Leads me to a question that's been haunting me with doubt;

Is my opposition only helping Putin out?

Once I thought the worst damage had already been done -

On the morning I discovered Donald Trump had won;

Sowing seeds of bigotry, discord and discontent,

Which has only gotten worse since he's been President.

But, the fact that Trump has demonstrated he's a jerk

Doesn't mean that Russian trolls are not still hard at work

Judging by the Senate testimony from this week...

Ship of State is foundering - no paddle - up the creek.

Twitter couldn't tell our Senators how many "bots"

Might be on their service, echoing each others' thoughts.

Facebook isn't sure how many rubles Russia paid

Buying ads to influence decisions voters made.

Now we've gotten to the point where how somebody votes

Turns into a culture war aimed at each others' throats.

We all need to take a breath and find some common ground...

And remember Putin's Russian trolls are still around.
