Humpty Dummy sat in a pit,
knee-deep in its world of self-made shit.
all of its supporters, and supposed friends
have failed to make this land great again.

He’s made it so objectively worse. Laughing through the tears.
Soooo blatantly true! And...pew! 😬🤢
This is brilliant and so achingly true. The imaged made me chuckle lol. Well done Lamar
A powerful piece that uses humor and bite to make a strong statement.
I love it. It's like, you made your bed, now lay in it. Don't call it a king when it's only a twin. Great stuff!
lol 😂 facts
that orange guy creeps me out, such look alike, ugh, truth too true
The pit keeps getting deeper. and uglier.
Oh, hell yeah! 👏👏👏👏👏
Brilliant nursery rhyme take down of the apricot menace, Lamar!
Hahahahahahaha this was hilarious and brilliant!
Absolute fire! Loved this. The rhythm is so good!
Spot on.
Succinct and accurate. To myself I whispered "so far. I hope we can fix things afterwards"
Fuego Lamar! You flame-broiled this piece! 😁
Oh I so hope we’ll put our land back together when he is gone. Great response to Judey’s starter, Lamar!
We need to slap the board off the table and start over. I don't HATE anyone... I think the majority of politicians are liars. I do think there is good and bad in everyone... But I am baffled ASF by the people that say "promises made promises kept" Because I remember Trump promising to reveal the epstein client list. Then it didn't exist. Now I don't know where it stands lol. All we know is children were trafficked and Ghislaine maxwell is doing time for trafficking them to.... No one? 🫠 Also, a promise made was grocery prices would be lowered day 1. I spent $502 on groceries this month. Haven't bought any thanksgiving meal prep. That's just regular basic upkeep and household items like dish soap etc... so... Where's the lower prices? Idk what other promises he has made. But those were two I do remembered and not one has been kept. Also, people starving while a ballroom/bunker is being built is insane. I don't even care if it's "privately funded". Use the funds to feed Americans tf. Now his promise of tariff dividends. But.... There was no money for SNAP etc. All the programs have been defunded and we still paid taxes... Meanwhile, the rich get more tax breaks. I'm tired 😩
You are too funny, Lamar. But I like it and I agree with it.
I’m here for all these takedowns
