Hi Andrew,

The thumbnails do become large when I click on them...but I'm probably just being a dumb blonde; I don't 'get' what they're trying to tell me, so I've missed the point, sorry. :o

Oh, I see.

The first one (On Christ) is meant to be Trump's perspective on religion. The second one (On History) the same. They're internal monologues. They probably make more sense in the series, but oh well. :)

I propose introducing into the language the adjective trumpreposterous.

Edmund Conti 09-30-2017 08:30 AM

Gail, now you are just being prestrumptuous.

Gail and Ed, let's hope those trumpolean words make into the OED!

Even Stupider, Bigly!
 
POTUS, this is Stupid Stuff

“POTUS this is stupid stuff:
You spout your nonsense, always rough,
And don’t know very much, it’s clear,
When you tweet mocking with a sneer.
That you are such a slimy rake,
Makes my stomach and head ache.
Barack Obama, whom you dread,
Just shakes in wonder his wise head;
The rest of us are nervous now
Because you lie and pitch Jim Crow.
With some good luck my little rhymes
Will chronicle your White House crimes.”


From and after AE Houseman LXII

Now the roving gambler he was very bored,
Trying to create a next world war...

Ha! A song lyric tailgater from “Highway 61”

Yes, it seemed apt. Unfortunately!
