TRUMP, THE MUSICAL
With the impeachment trial of Dumbo J. Trump just around the proverbial corner, it strikes me that a musical based on vintage songs would score with political theater-goers to symbolize what Dumbo did to warrant prosecution. With that hoary plot in mind, I’m working allegretto to dig up such songs and cop-out canticles as may begetto a libretto before I forgetto:
GROW, GROW, GROW YOUR VOTE — sung, not to the tune of (11,780 votes shy) Georgia On My Mind, but to….
‘TAIN’T NO SIN TO INCITE MOBS TO BREAK IN — to the tune of….
The prosecution rests. Ladies and gentlemen of the audience: What is your verdict?
Does the defendant have any last words before we pronounce sentence on His Dumboness (played in the musical by Humperbert Engeldinck, or something like that)?
We now pronounce you man and life (sentence).
Without objection.

Ella has no peer! Love The Dumbo bit, but I am hoping he’s a Dumpty Humpty.

I’ve used clips of Ella in quite a few posts, but there’s no such thing as too much Ella!

Meanwhile, having fallen into a comatose stupor on his tanning bed, the Orange Elephant became a lesson for small children everywhere: don’t touch it, they were warned. The dishonesty, bigotry and ignorance rub off.

Speaking of small children, did you notice that in the nursery rhyme “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” they sang “Life is but a scheme” (instead of “dream”)? Very fitting for the “Orange Elephant!”

Rudy is off his rocker. He and Dumbo deserve each other.

I’d like to believe this trial will finally hold the orange moron responsible for his actions, but I think we all know it won’t. The Republican Party is well and truly dead. It’s being held hostage by a radical mob and the senate is terrified of standing against them.

GOP politicians are probably even more terrified of not being re-elected if they don’t appease Trump’s base. Most of them are shameless and beyond pathetic.

It’s interesting watching the Republicans decide who they are. What a circus.

Throw the book at him! Oh, wait; he can’t read. He’s been singing ‘Life is but a scheme’ for decades.
I love the second song and video! And of course, Ella is wonderful as always!

Thanks, Kate. It IS a war, but hardly civil. Actually, there are TWO wars going on — the second one is for control of the GOP itself, between right wing extremists and “old guard” conservatives. Four years of Trump have brought out their mob mentality, made even worse by the power which he seems to hold over them despite losing the election (which he has convinced the willfully ignorant and gullible among them that he didn’t lose). We are witnessing human nature at its worst.
