Hashtag Arrogance

I LIKE CAPITALS

to emphasise my endless

slapstick politics.

What Constitution?

I have to read all of it?!

Tangerine screaming.

Chattering unchained:

No such thing as climate change!!

No such thing as proof?

Meanwhile, peace deals fall,

fundamental laws ignored;

the world stands aghast.

Yates sacked. Spicer sacked.

Bannon, Flynn and Comey sacked.

This is going well.

I repeat myself

many many times. Many.

Guess what? You know why?

My IQ is high!

Why was there a civil war?

Very, VERY high.

I'm beyond satire

and explicitly absurd.

Are you all scared yet?

Exclamation marks.

You can never have enough.

Mexico will pay!!!!!!

FAKE NEWS MEDIA!!!

Network news is partisan!!!

(Fox news is okay).

Even Kim Jong Un

thinks you're mentally deranged.

Huffing orange twat.

Hashtag Arrogance.

Where have all the snipers gone?

It's Time To Get Tough.

Those crazy leaders.

Still love your 'Dear Margaret'.
Found it on YouTube.
Great piece, one to remember.

Haha David - I'd not seen that. Fantastic!! ? Thanks for posting it.

Ferris - I was never convinced enough of his 'irony'. I thought he had misogynistic tendencies. I loathed his routines about reading and the waitress, Goatboy (thinly veiled paedophilic comments), Jimi Hendrix raping Debbie Gibson etc. There was way too much of that kind of stuff in amongst what I thought could be great commentary.

Hi Laura,

Thanks for your reply.

No, apart from TTIP, I doubt I could defend him on anything else at all. I wouldn't want to. It's been a long first year, and we have three more to go..

Regards,
Suki

Hi Suki

Not bad thanks for asking.

For someone who is not a fan of Trump, your post does come across as a defence of the fool. No point talking about HC now is there? And also, this isn't about her, it's about him. Sorry to state the bleedin' obvious but I didn't think I'd have to. Lots of lines and phrases in here are taken straight from the idiot's mouth. I've just put them into this order.

I think he's the worst one so far tbh. And there's some ripe ones to compare him with!!

Hi Laura,

First thing, most importantly, I hope you are keeping well.

Let's remember, presidents aren't elected, they're chosen. Sorry if I sound cynical.

I'm no fan of Trump, but Hillary, unlike Trump, supported the Invasion of Iraq, and was a significant player in the invasion of Libya, bombed that country into the Stone Age and left at least 300,000 dead. Bernie Sanders should have been the Democratic candidate, but it wasn't to be, because of the shenanigans of Hitlery's criminal fraternity at the DNC.

One thing I will say in Trump's defence: he didn't sign TAFTA/NAFTA - an economic agreement that would have provided corporations the legal instruments to sue elected governments. Hillary would have signed that, I imagine.

Trump could well end up also being a war-monger too. Let's see what his puppet masters tell him.

All mainstream media is fake isn't it? Some prefer CNN, others Fox, others BBC.They are all full of it. I for one am not falling for the bait-and-switch: Bush, Obama, and probably Trump will all leave behind similar legacies, and plenty of carnage. I hope I'm wrong.

Take care,
Suki

Thanks David

Yeh I know what you mean about him being too easy a target, but I feel we have to document it for a later date, cos people just wouldn't believe how bad he actually was otherwise! Absolutely - he does require ridicule. I am beyond astonished that people actually support him, despite everything that he's said and done. My eyebrows now live on the back of my neck because of him.

I have to genuinely force myself to watch him speak on the telly, grinding my teeth, he winds me up that much. There were another 5 haiku to this but I cut them out - could rant all bloody day!

Hehe. Yeh but what a party it would be on that day eh? ?

Glad it made you laugh ?
