Call up your members of Congress.<\/span>
\nTell them that what they are doing <\/span>is wrong.<\/span><\/i>
\nCathy McMorris Rogers,<\/span>
\nYour Rhetoric doth <\/span>not <\/span><\/i>convince Me.<\/span>
\nBecause I am looking <\/span>between <\/span><\/i>The Lines.<\/span>
\nNothing from <\/span>You <\/span><\/i>or <\/span>The G.O.P. <\/span><\/i>Can convince Me<\/span>
\nthat You have <\/span>Our <\/span><\/i>interests, <\/span>in mind<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then again, You are A Political Mouthpiece<\/span>
\nfor WHITE AMERICA. <\/span>CONSERVATIVE AMERICA\u2014<\/span><\/i>
\nThe Same America that I am <\/span>ashamed <\/span><\/i>to be <\/span>A Part of:<\/span><\/i>
\nRACIST, NATIONALIST, RELIGION,<\/span>
\nCOLOR <\/span>OBSESSED <\/span><\/i>(<\/span>not The Best<\/span><\/i>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Clean COAL. Stick it UP Your ASSHOLE.<\/span><\/i>
\nNot <\/span>now<\/span><\/i>, though. You are <\/span>too busy\u2014<\/span><\/i>
\ntoo busy <\/span>SUCKING<\/span><\/i> OFF <\/span><\/i>Donald Trump\u2014<\/span>
\nwhilst <\/span>giving<\/span><\/i> double-fist’d slalom ski handies\u2014<\/span><\/i>
\nto Paul Ryan & McConnell the Frog.<\/span>
\nYou want to treat The Poor like DOGS.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span>
\nAnd that’s NOT ALL<\/span><\/i>. <\/span>No. No.<\/span><\/i>
\nYour Careers <\/span>are NOT LONG for This World.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Banners unfurled, between <\/span>party lines<\/span><\/i>.<\/span>
\nEverything You <\/span>PROCLAIM is A Calculated LIE.<\/span><\/i>
\nCall up Your Members of Congress\u2014<\/span>
\ntell Cathy <\/span><\/i>that what she is doing, <\/span>is WRONG.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Lies <\/span>spread<\/span><\/i>, akin to a pair of prostitute’s legs\u2014<\/span>
\nakimbo even tho’ <\/span>ALL <\/span><\/i>The Signs of <\/span>DANGER<\/span><\/i>
\nbe <\/span>present. <\/span><\/i>Undermining <\/span>society\u2014\u00a0<\/span><\/i>
\nunder The Guise of <\/span>FAKE NEWS<\/span><\/i>
\nbecause Fox (<\/span>FUCKS<\/b>) & <\/span>Friends <\/span><\/i>are<\/span>
\nThe <\/span>Only <\/span><\/i>Ones with \u201cThe Guts\u201d to<\/span>
\ntell You YOUR WHITE TRUTHS.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Antediluvian ideas, with The Passage of Years,<\/span>
\nmay they be <\/span>remembered <\/span><\/i>merely<\/span>
\nas anthropological <\/span>Oddities<\/span><\/i>. <\/span>Antiquities.<\/span><\/i>
\nJOIN TOGETHER. Vote.<\/span><\/i>
\nAnd <\/span>ring <\/span><\/i>that office phone<\/span>
\nOFF THE HOOK.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

There is <\/span>no <\/span><\/i>presidential pardon<\/span>
\nwith enough <\/span>POWER <\/span><\/i>to reconcile<\/span>
\nthou <\/span>with thee<\/span><\/i>, in history.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can’t you <\/span>SEE<\/span><\/i>, Cathy?<\/span>
\nYou backed The WRONG Side<\/span><\/i>
\nAND YOUR TIME<\/span>
\nIN POWER<\/span>
\nIS <\/span>RUNNING<\/span><\/i>
\nOUT.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
