With Apologies to St. Nick 2024!




Twas the night before Christmas and all through the 'House'

MAGA Lawmakers(?) were scrambling as quiet as a mouse.

Breaking Bi-Partisan Deals and Agreements for no rhyme or reason

To celebrate a Trump-Ordered Government Shutdown for the Season!

Trump’s Working Class ‘MAGA Shut-Downers’ tossed with glee in their beds

While visions of shutting down Disaster Relief, the Working Class, U.S. Military, Veterans, Seniors, Farmers danced in their heads

The Unqualified, Trump Cabinet stuck on MAGAFIED Slay Democracy Plots

Joined-in to keep Biden/Dems Voting Rights, Women’s Rights, Diversity, Equality, Border Security and Working Class Stimulus, Child Care, Health Care, Debt Relief, Inflation Reduction Legislation tied-up in knots!

When out on the White House lawn there arose such a clatter

Dems stood up for ‘The People’ stopping Trump’s Chaos on the matter!

As Trump’s Threats to Domestic, U.S. Ally & World Economy climb his Chaos Meter

He cheers MAGA Domestic Terrorists as if January 6th was sweeter!

 

The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow

Gave a luster of limbo to Tax-Paying Immigrants, Dreamers and MAGA Lawmaker-Blocked Border Security below

When what to their wondering eyes did appear

But Biden’s Build Back Better Agenda - the first in 4 years!

Delivered a First Black Female Justice, Paid Family Leave, Child Tax Credit, vaccines across the nation

Halved child poverty, backed Union’s Fair Share and massive Infrastructure Legislation

Delivered historical policy shifts with Climate Change, increased NATO Alliances, Marriage Equality from shore to shore.

No blinking, no shrinking -

Pressing forward with more!

As MAGAfiers claim false credit voting ‘No!’ on each ‘Score’!

 

Fed up with Republican-Packed Justices, Senators, Legislatures, Governors Election Tampering Tricks!

Biden’s House Democrats added John Lewis Voting Rights AND For the People Acts to their Fair Election list

Manchin/Sinema helped Senate Republicans block both Acts without shame

But House Democrats kept delivering for The People just the same

They passed Inflation Reduction, Consumer Protections too

Lower Prescription Costs, Emergency Food & Rent Assistance …

 Just to name a few!

 

As the leaves of  'Republican-Stacked Media Polls before the wild hurricane fly,

When they meet Cable News/Podcast/Anti-Democrat Scams mount to the sky.

The Fox Propaganda Disinformation/Misinformation Crew flew.

With a fact-free bag of Anti-Migrant, Anti-Diversity, MAGA Cancel Culture Lies -

What else is new?

And then in a twinkling, WE heard on the roof

The prancing and pawing of each FOXified Biden/Hunter Spoof!

 

As WE drew in our heads and turned around

MAGA Senator-Stacked Justices' Roll Back Democracy Crusade pounced with a bound.

Dressed in MAGAfied Lawmaker/Governor/Legislator Cancel Culture from head to foot,

Flashing Anti-Voting, Anti-Women, Anti-Diversity, Anti-Books, Anti-Migrant, Anti-LGBT, Anti-History, Anti-Native American ‘Culture Wars’ tarnished with ashes and soot.

A bundle of “NO!” Votes tucked under their hats.

They all looked like peddlers just opening their packs.

 

Their deceptions – how they twinkled!

Backed by MAGA House Reps Overturn Election Votes so leery!

Abandoning For the People Governing to make MAGA Trumpers cheery!

 

Their droll little mouths were drawn down row by row,

And their "NO!" Votes  rang-out as empty as snow.

The stump of their Filibusters stuck in their teeth

Defeat Democracy to Defeat Biden encircled their heads like a wreath.

They had broad, fake smiles and bloated Tax Cuts for the Rich bellies

That shook when they deceived, like a bowl full of jelly.

And I laughed when I saw them, in spite of myself;

A wink of their eyes and a TWIST of their heads!

 

The Exorcist sequel! Hide! Under the sled!

 

Dems rolled up their sleeves, and continued to work

Turning Trump Billionaire’s MAGA Shutdown against Working Class to an empty threat can’t be smirched.

And laying their finger aside their nose

And giving a nod, to the Capital they rose!

 

Biden sprang to his sleigh – to his Team gave a whistle.

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight –

 

Happy Christmas to all!

And to all a Good Night!
