Looking For Integrity

Dearest,
I know we agreed
to practice stretching our compassion
to include those we actively loath,
and I have been trying
but...

Yes, I know,
it's difficult to out-trump Trump's
apparent toxicity,
with benign integrity
without appearing morally comatose

So,
what have you come up with?
maybe it could work for me as well

When my Republican friends
ask me for feedback,
which happens maybe...
...well, never
I go with

I have noticed that Mr. Trump's
emotional intelligence
and his generous talent for ignoring hypocrisy
are unimpeachable.

Which could mean
his lack of enlightenment
and his lack of integrity
are not, in and of themselves,
impeachable offenses

And it could mean
his sinister affective intelligence
and tenacity
remain unquestioned
by other self-righteous
AntiFeminist Capitalists

As they speak amongst themselves
inside EarthTribe's 
Straight White Privileged 
Men's Room.
