Alternative Facts, et cetera

Alternative facts, fallacious assumptions,

And false equivalency are stunning

As Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conjob,

And Sean Spicer hit the ground running.

 

Regarding the Bowling Green Massacre, Conjob

Said she'd misspoken. Not a crime.

However, the last time she said it, she'd

Misspoken her "fact" for the third time.

 

What about Spicer's outlandish statement

That recent marchers were paid? What's FUNNY is

No one paid me a cent to march.

I want to know where my MONEY is.

 

Trump said the "dishonest" press

Once again has been refusing

To publish reports of recent attacks

By terrorists here. Very amusing!

 

Imagine our press NOT covering

Most  attacks here and abroad!

Another of Trump's alternative facts

Like the one on voter fraud.

 

This disconnection from the truth--

This constant need to fictionalize--

Doesn't bode well for this country.

When are they going to dispense with these lies?
