The War on Truth

There is a member of Congress--

His name is Andrew Clyde--

Who in January

Was barricaded inside

 

The chambers of the House

While thugs were yelling "Kill,"

As they stormed the building--

The one called Capitol Hill.

 

We've seen camera footage

Of the despicable scene,

Which will remain in the annals

As one of the worst days we've seen.

 

Mr. Clyde, however,

Now has a different spin

On what happened that day.

What a mess we are in!

 

Tourists paying a visit:

That's what they really were,

Mr. Clyde now says.

And many colleagues concur

 

That they were there to take photos,

Not to storm the halls.

So is it normal for tourists

To piss and wipe crap on the walls?

 

Is it tourist behavior

To brutally beat the police

Who were defending officials

And trying to keep the peace?

 

Do tourists normally break

Into buildings? No, correction!

Call it what is was:

A violent insurrection

 

By people perpetuating

Not the truth but a lie.

Many people were injured,

And some had to die.

 

Liz Cheney reminds us--

Acting as the town crier--

If we ignore the truth,

We merely embolden the liar.

 

Orwell warned us how

Scary it will be

When people are told what to think

And lose the right to be free--

 

When one is told to distrust

What one sees and hears,

Rejecting evidence of

Both the eyes and ears.

Hello, Bob! :)
They are a party or trash with no integrity, and they are imploding under the weight of the ego if their draft dodging "patriot" king.

Imploding? I hope so. And to think that that fool is still controlling the Party!
