News of the Day (part 2)
The previous thread was bursting at the seams, so I thought a new one might be called for.
A couple of comments: After the Brexit fiasco, people said that for once, the UK was ahead in the Dumbness Olympics, but that America could still catch up. They just won the Gold Medal. ************************************************** ******************** R.I.P. America. Foul play is suspected. CCTV cameras show Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the entire Democratic Party leadership fleeing the scene of the crime. |
I'm not ready to be amused or to read the inevitable nasty gloating that one or two of our members will be unable to resist, so I won't be contributing humorous doggerel or reading this thread. Have at it, those who have the stomach for it.

It is now incumbent upon this narcissistic man-child to make good on his ludicrous campaign promises, of course. I think he's in for a nasty shock when he discovers that running a country is actually quite difficult. I wonder how long he'll be able to last without either being impeached or collapsing under the weight of his own absurdity.

I assure you, Bob, I'm not gloating. I'm devastated. The only way I can think of to cheer myself up is to make jokes - it's my way of dealing with catastrophes, whether domestic or global.

Aftershock: Morning After Election Results
For years, both Parties did neglect these folks, Like butt-ends of the system's Inside-Jokes. One means to say who now says he is "stunned": His bubble burst from multitudes it shunned. d |
A Last Recessional
He said “Beautiful!”, “Beautiful” framed his lies, ‘Thousand suns’, when we saw him, Like clouds, dimmed our skies. He pledged we’d be “beautiful” “Beautiful” if he won, Yet his dreams silenced springtime, Climate change done. Why didn’t folks 'get it' What, so clearly, we saw? Those that longed for him, And others hated, so completely, Were a fat, ginger, catspaw. Aah, but he said, “Beautiful” – Knowing not, that he cared Not a fig for our futures, The world that we’d shared. Now it's all over Radiation lingers on, The nightmare keeps returning Now that he's gone. Was it so “Beautiful! Beautiful!” “Beautiful!” to be conned? (With apologies to Cleo Lane xxxand Rudyard Kipling.) |
