Unbelievably vile policy - but, alas, not very good limericks.

Vile is Trump's middle name.
I quite like the lines "But our motives aren't tribal, / They're inspired by the Bible."
Also yes, Nielsen's tweet is a neat example of chutzpah or cojones.
Cheers,
John

I think Dessem has a nice way with an awkward rhyme, but mostly, since, as Moore says, "there are things that are important beyond all this fiddle," to find verse in an extra-literary context like this I find very validating.

How can these sons-of-bitches live with themselves? I am so happy that I am old enough to have spent most of my life - and done my travelling - many years ago, in a world where you were proud to be an American. If you want to be truly depressed listen to this, and read this https://www.politico.com/story/2018/...idterms-652246 Stephen Miller is the Joseph Goebbels of America.

Michael: "Stephen Miller is the Joseph Goebbels of America."
Yes.

I'm afraid, Michael, that 'living with themselves' - and with themselves alone - appears to be the actual objective of these misbegotten monsters. Your misery about America's image matches that of many in Britain. There has never been, on both sides of the pond, such an unsavoury collection of politicians. I long for escape back into Europe in an independent Scotland - but from the world these knaves are making, I fear escape will be impossible for many years to come.

"The immigrant threat must be banished,
Even if a few toddlers get vanished.
If their parents had cared,
They would never have dared,
To have come over here speaking Spanish"
OMG, this one made my day! They are all great on the whole, but this one really took the cake.

Walter, What are you talking about? That sounds confrontational, and I don't mean it so. I don't know what you're referring to and would like to understand...
