A Tax for Public Trust Betrayed

The Largest Settlement Ever Paid

By Chris ZPublished 8 months ago Updated 7 months ago 1 min read
"No sound mind could even conceive of the BS these inbreds can be made to believe."

A soldier in civvies /

an army of one /

marched into a pizza joint /

brandishing a long gun.

His mission for naught /

He only fired a single shot /

never even found the room /

wherein Democrats were said to groom /

Soylent Green for global vice /

or for use in satanic sacrifice.

No sound mind could ever conceive /

of the drivel these dropouts /

double-time it to believe.

Who needs a graduation /

get a FOX News education /

Saint Nicholas, the Turk, was /

blue-eyed, and Caucasian?!

A mop sink misreported /

as a Muslim foot wash station /

Obamacare death panels /

cause camps of "concentration."

No sound mind could ever conceive /

of the bunkum these inbreds

elect to believe.

Be it sham, or be it scam /

No-go zones in Birmingham!

Birtherism, the Big Lie /

Airplanes downed by DEI!

Tucker, by day,

keep that demon away /

The same Tucker, by night,

Trump's lubed, and loosened, catamite.

No Emmy, no Murrow, no Peabody fame /

for a time was your truth ministry's greatest shame.

Seven-hundred, and eighty-seven million /

Better than three-quarters of a billion!

A tax for public trust betrayed /

The largest settlement ever paid;

That's more than a scarlet letter, FOX /

That's a letter bomb in your letter box...
