The Henry and the donald

Henry VIII was the tyrant king of England from 1509 until 1547. He was a MEGA king. (Make England Go Awry) Anybody who got in his way, he just pushed them aside and did whatever he wanted to do. He was a misoginyst. His first wife, Catherine gave birth to a bunch of daughters. But those future queens did not match his expectations, so he ditched Catherine and hooked up with another consort, Anne. But there was a clusterfud of complications surrounding that switcheroo. There was a problem with his desire for her, because scripture (this was a time when the MAGAs of that day were pseudo-religious). . . scripture forbade him to ditch Catherine and marry his brother's wife. He wanted the pope to annul his marriage to Catherine but the pope wouldn't go along with it. So in order to grant himself legitimacy, Henry forced his MAPA (Make a pope go away) lawyers to recognize him as blahblah head of the church of England instead of the pope, and just to make it plain who was in charge he conjured up a MEGA attack to get them to trash their ages-old religious legacy and replace it with MEGA (Make England Go Awry) abd ditch the fuddy-duddy pope and the church's old-school biblical rules. So the MEGAmaniacs stormed the steps of religious tradition and the halls of English Law; thus Henry was able to ditch Catherine and get himself hooked up with Anne. But she birthed girls too. . . a disappointment that intensified Henry's institutional assaults, which actually turned out to be all for naught anyway. Anne's daughter Lizzie was on the throne for sixty years, a rein of such longevity that it was not surpassed until her namesake, Elizabeth II reigned for an even longer period in the 20th century. Now I don't know but I been old that history doesn't repeat but it rhymes, and I think that's what we detect here in these modern times. In distant America, Henry's orange-headed monarchical stepchild, king donald of MarLago, conjured up legal and so-called evangelical psuedo-religious manipulations and insurrections to summon up a MAGA (Make America Go Awry) insurrection and trash the 14th amendment so he could put his fat ass back on the oval throne again. So we see that history does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme. Capitol barricades falling down, falling down, Capitol bridges falling down, MAGA breaky.
