It\’s rather ironic that many Brits and other Europeans came to this country to escape the iron-fisted reigns of monarchies — only to have 53 Republican senators in 2020 ready and willing to overturn the constitutional provisions designed to prevent a monarchy from ever taking hold over US.
But the 53 seem poised to begin The Reign of Trump — by not only voting to prevent witnesses from taking the stand in the Trial of Trump — but certainly to acquit Him of charges he is clearly guilty of (and open the door for a Trump Dynasty featuring his sons [or Queen Ivanka]).
As a musician and sometime songwriter — I want the votes to remain on party lines 53-47 for no other reason than: so many more words for songs and/or poems about the looming Trump Dynasty rhyme with 53 — like \”monarchy\” or \”by decree.\” \”Fifty-one\” rhymes with one-and-done; which, sadly, doesn\’t seem the case apparent. And fifty-two rhymes with pooh — but I\’d rather \”it\” rhymed with shit! Fifty-three also rhymes with \”taking their tea\” — a favorite pastime of royals.
I would like to see our history books also make a solid accounting of the 53 — so that subsequent generations (provided we still have free speech) will know which American families usurped the constitution in favor of a monarchy.
I can already visualize posters of a smeared and bloody Declaration of Servitude (modeled after the Declaration of Independence) that has the signatures of the 53 underneath.
I am now committed to memorizing the names of the 53 — beginning today! I am not so worried about Trump\’s legal crew (lawyers are always the first killed in a revolution [according to Shakespeare]); nor am I worried about the Republican House (with too many names for me to remember) — their constituents know-who-they-are — and when that last 7-11 closes — watch out!
After hearing Trump\’s comments regarding \”getting rid of\” Ukranian ambassador, Marie Yovanovitch, I have no doubt that He threatened \”putting the heads of any dissenting Republican senators on pikes.\” Whether Adam Schiff made-this-up, or heard it from a Trump insider, I love it! Obviously the 53 have never read history if they don\’t realize that eventually, the boots will kick down their doors.
For my lazy readers (and my own study guide) — these are the names of the King Maker:
Richard Shelby (AL) Lisa Murkowski (AK) Dan Sullivan (AK) Martha McSally (AZ) John Boozman (AR)
Tom Cotton (AR) Cory Gardner (CO) Marco Rubio (FL) Rick Scott (FL) Johnny Isakson (GA)
David Perdue (GA) Mike Crapo (ID) Jim Risch (ID) Mike Braun (IN) Todd Young (IN)
Joni Ernst (IA) Chuck Grassley (IA) Jerry Moran (KS) Pat Roberts (KS) Mitch McConnell (KY)
Rand Paul (KY) Bill Cassidy (LA) John Kennedy (LA) Susan Collins (ME) Cindy Hyde-Smith (MS)
Roger Wicker (MS) Roy Blunt (MO) Josh Hawley (MO) Steve Daines (MT) Deb Fischer (NE)
Ben Sasse (NE) Richard Burr (NC) Thom Tillis (NC) Kevin Cramer (ND) John Hoeven (ND)
Rob Portman (OH) Jim Inhofe (OK) James Lankford (OK) Pat Toomey (PA) Lindsey Graham (SC)
Tim Scott (SC) Mike Rounds (SD) John Thune (SD) Lamar Alexander (TN) Marsha Blackburn (TN)
John Cornyn (TX) Ted Cruz (TX) Mike Lee (UT) Mitt Romney (UT) Shelley Moore Capito (WV)
Ron Johnson (WI) John Barrasso (WY) Mike Enzi
(WY)
So, my fellow Americans — mark these names well — they are the Trump servants who shall make him a king. Church and State will no longer be separated and the King still won\’t be attending church.
Post Mortem Rhymes:
The 53 spell the death of democracy
The joining of Church and State — Their Legacy
When I began this attempt early this morning — I didn\’t realize that Kobe Bryant and his daughter and 7 others would die about 6-miles-away from-where-I-live. It is a shame because, following his historic basketball career, it seemed Kobe was becoming a great ambassador…I will do an In Memoriam soon…first I have to apologize to Judge Percy Anderson…
