I. For the Record

The president exalts one into trust,
his sanctions still convenient, seldom just,
and senators reverse their tune in turn,
stoop to embrace the man they used to spurn;
they took the moral high ground yesterday
only to show how far they slink away.

II. Here, here...

Hold, factious monster! of divided states,
with wrangling talents formed for foul debates:
curb that impetuous tongue, nor, rashly vain
and singly mad, tweet up a smear campaign.
Have we not known you, x tv-show host?
You who have done the least still brag the most.
No president has been less qualified;
the least in merit is the first in pride.
