Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch the worst of the circus turn on the ringmaster.
For too long we’ve seen airwaves immersed
In the shouts of America’s worst.
But with every new fumble,
Alliances crumble;
We’re watching the Trump bubble burst.

“I once had a Bondi gnome
When King Donald sat on the throne
His brain then farted
So , rejected, we parted
Amazed how hubby’s tits had grown “

Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche standing together in a gathering of shitty attorneys and shittier humans
Cover of the glorious Even Worse album by the great Weird Al Yankovic, who has in no way endorsed my limericks. Damn it.
Tonight’s birthday edition of #FridayLimericks goes to Todd Blanche—who, with all due disrespect to Bondi, is even worse.
The AG who’s the worst one so far
Only worked for America’s Tsar.
Bondi’s out on her ass;
Todd the vomitous mass
Will just deepen the DOJ’s scar.
Those who have read my #FridayLimericks can probably guess how important I find protection for parody and satire. I love how Afroman handled the raid on his house—perhaps a good indicator of why ICE wants to keep its agents masked to violate rights.

For those who like a little lyrical sizzle with their analysis of the horrors of our timeline, I encourage you to get your copy of #FridayLimericks: With All Due Respect… today. It’s not necessarily nice, but limericks fit the moment well.

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch the GOP keep screwing the TSA.
At three fortnights the TSA stands
With no money and far fewer hands.
There’s a harsh human toll,
But the GOP goal
Is ignoring the facts for their brands.

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks look at the SAVE America Act—of America!
Lest they all get kicked out of the class,
The Repubs want the SAVE Act to pass:
A colostomy bag
Wrapped in tattered, fake flag
For a prez who’s as brittle as glass.
Tonight’s #FridayLimericks go to Jon Husted, man of the rich people.
When a guy feeds off donors too much,
It’s no shock when he grows out of touch.
His state’s citizens suffer,
But Jon’s got a buffer:
For billionaires, Husted is clutch.

A #fridaylimericks thread from @jeffroushwriting.bsky.social.
It’s #FridayLimericks time 🥳👇🏼
A series of Donald Trump tweets from 2011-2013 claiming Obama would start war with Iran for his own political protection—much like Trump is actually doing now.
Tonight’s #FridayLimericks go to the disaster just getting started in Iran.
The U.S. is attacking Iran,
And with nary a concept of plan.
As the carnival barker
Takes turns ever darker,
He’s spinning as fast as he can.
Picture of James Comer’s stupid-ass face with the caption: CAN A HUMAN BEING FUNCTION WITH A SINGLE-DIGIT IQ? MEET JAMES COMER, CHAIR OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
Tonight’s #FridayLimericks go to the remarkably dumb James Comer.
In Kentucky, the standard is set
By a dumbass they’d love to forget.
Comer sets the bar low
For what congressmen know,
And then lies with no whiff of regret.
As I figure out what among the perpetual fresh onslaught of horrible people and topics in the MAGA hellscape will get the #FridayLimericks treatment this week, a reminder that you can get all of last year’s selections for posterity here.

And if you want a fuller picture of how we got there, I encourage you to get a copy of #FridayLimericks 2025: With All Due Respect…. It’s a living history of our current idiocracy, and worth having on hand as disinformation flows. (5/5)

Satire is not unserious. Jeff proves it in his #FridayLimericks, where the rhyme is tight and the aim is sharp.
I sat down with @jeffroushwriting.bsky.social who writes poetry to get to the discipline underneath it and his why. We went past the bounce of the stanza to the person behind it 👇🏼
TwiXter post from Secretary of Pompous Assness Scott Bessent: President Trump will always put America's national security and Americans first. And as I have said before, the President has multiple tools in his toolbox. Let's be clear: the Court did not rule against this Administration's tariffs. It only said IEEPA can't be used to raise revenue. We will immediately shift to other proven authorities-Sections 232, 301, and 122—to keep our tariff strategy strong. DALLAS 1:19 PM TREASURY SECY. BESSENT ON TARIFFS & THE
Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch the regime’s tariff two-step.
The regime’s grabbing power by loads
Via unconstitutional modes.
And the setback today
Hardly gets in the way
Of these ham-fisted, bludgeoning chodes.
Getty images: three photos of Pam Bondi’s theatrically stupid faces at her House hearing this week.
Tonight’s #FridayLimericks note Pam Bondi’s latest OnlyTrump content.
The Department of Justice at last
Has made crime-fighting part of the past.
Its new goals were affirmed
From when Pam was confirmed;
Now the sycophant die’s long since cast.
From the series page for my #FridayLimericks book series: Jeff Roush (Author) #FridayLimericks (2 book series) Paperback Edition #FRIDAYLIMERICKS 2025 WITH ALL DUE RESPECT- FRIDAY LIMERICKS 2024: MITAGES WERE MADE JEFF ROUSH This series comprises the annual collections of limericks, originally posted on Twitter/X and Bluesky throughout the year. They combine linguistically playful savagery with a contextualization of individual political moments throughout the year to help those looking to laugh, scream, and understand the political climate in which we are living today.
I was approached today to give autographs on both books (so far) in my #FridayLimericks series. Always cool, but more fun was the conversation that emerged from the moment. As much as this is a fun way to scream into the void, it’s better as a path to connect thoughtfully. (1/3)

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks look past the memes to the far right’s assaults on voting. (Thread)
While the president aims to distract,
Watch destruction he wants to enact.
This democracy foe
Is now having a go
At the power that’s left to extract.
The First Amendment "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Tonight’s #FridayLimericks call out the systematic assault on the First Amendment.
Under President Trump, we are cursed
With unquenched anti-liberty thirst.
He’s attacking our rights
Over pissed pants and slights,
Trimming freedoms enshrined in the First.

Jack Smith raising right hand to be sworn in to testify before House Committee.
Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch the GOP dance around Jack Smith’s truth.
After all of the Jack Smith suspense,
Let the GOP dancing commence!
Their ridiculous show
Landed nary a blow
On a witness both calm and intense.

Excellent #FridayLimericks thread, Jeff!!!! 👏🎉❤️🔥💙
Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch Bari Weiss set fire to the fourth estate from within.
If a network helps presidents spin,
Cast a skeptical look to within.
Despite insights to gather,
Seems Bari would rather
Shield Trump and his Epstein glass chin.

THE PARTY TOLD YOU TO REJECT THE EVIDENCE OF YOUR EYES AND EARS. IT WAS THEIR FINAL, MOST ESSENTIAL COMMAND. George Orwell, 1984
Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch the Minnesota lie unfold—and unravel.
A component of anti-truth fight:
The regime creates anger and spite
So they sacrifice life
On the altar of strife;
They just wish that she hadn’t been white.
Taps the microphones…
@jeffroushwriting.bsky.social writes #FridayLimericks over the course of a year and this book is the full collection.
They are sharp, funny, political, absurd, and uncomfortably accurate.
With all due respect, if you like smart and sharp writing, get it: a.co/d/eimYvgA
Have you bought your copy of #FridayLimericks: With All Due Respect…? If so, I’d love for you to leave a review on Amazon once you read it. If not, please do; it’s a savage catalogue of a year of MAGA horror, footnoted meticulously, and relevant as ever.

Tonight’s first #FridayLimericks of 2026 see the growing chasm between MAGA rhetoric and reality.
As Trump’s stories grow long in the tooth,
He’s more fully divorced from the truth.
Any story he gins,
Like his hair, quickly thins
And unravels—no need for a sleuth.
