With Democrats he must entice, he
Has proven good at making nicey.
So now, if everyone relaxes,
He'll sharply cut all rich folks' taxes
And help the oil biz and tobacco
And nominate some right-wing wacko
As Justice–qualified, he'll promise,
Like Daddy did with Clarence Thomas.
The Democrats will fold in batches,
And light cigars with White House matches.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
