I COULDN’T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF
For the short-term-memory-challenged among my readers, who may not recall every word of the posts I’ve posted in recent weeks, please allow me to refresh your appalling lack of retentive capacity by re-printing the first sentence of my second-to-last post, to wit:
“First, I want to beg your forgiveness for forgetting to publish a post for you on July 2nd (I FORGOT DAY), for I forgot it was I FORGOT DAY….but even if I hadn’t forgotten it was I FORGOT DAY, I might have forgotten to forget what I forgot.”
I re-print said sentence because, as a model of clarity of composition, it stands as a shining example of a category of phraseology comparable to such other tenebrous testaments to plain speaking as Legalese, Academese, and (The Man on the) Lying Trumpese — the latter not to be confused with this venerable lyrical disquisition of circus fame:
And how, you may wonder, does my phraseologically grandiloquent limpidity compare with analogous sample specimens of the aforementioned Legalese, Academese, and Lying Trumpese? Ask, my disquisitive friends, and ye shall receive:
As stated heretofore, the defendant’s conduct created, caused, and resulted in serious bodily harm and massive injuries, to wit: a broken and mangled left leg, lacerations to the aforementioned leg, and several broken digits on the foot attached to said leg, in witness whereof was the spouse of the injured party.
While the required breadth of content coverage appears to have been the surprise in development of the knowledge or cognitive area, method was unquestionably the potential stumbling block of affective measurement.
In so far as manifestations of infestation by a picayunish faunal species were evident in the residential facilities provided by the agricultural laborers, an unwillingness to occupy, utilize, or in any manner inhabit the facilities was therefore demonstrated by the aforementioned laborers.
But the above paradigms of grandiloquent limpidity pale, of course, in comparison with such clown-simple, yet grandiosely eloquent, linguistics of Lying Trumpese as these:
Wow, highest poll numbers in the history of the Republican Party. That includes Honest Abe Lincoln and Ronald Reagan.
There has never been, ever before, an Administration that’s so open and transparent.
I have tremendous support from women.
Right. And mistermuse has tremendous support from Trump lovers.

I’m to the point where I can’t anymore. I can’t watch him, I can’t listen to him, I can’t even think about him without sinking into a deep depression over the fact that almost half our country like and support him. I just can’t!

Believe me, R.g., I know the feeling. I can’t stand the sight of him, but even worse, the 40-45% support he has is truly depressing. If he is reelected, this country is beyond hope.

I also despair that people can’t see how he is purposely dividing us as a nation, setting us at each other’s throats, that he excels at tearing down our Constitution and everything honorable. In doing this, he seeks to baste his ego and garner support from the rich. It’s vile, and his consorting with Putin, treasonous.

Agreed. We can survive the Trump administration…. but the divide he’s caused in this country will take decades to heal.

What can I say, mirover? Everything you said is true. Trump has truly brought to the fore America’s dirty little secret, that beneath the surface this country’s underlying ignorance, racism, gullibility and close-mindedness was alive and well in many, many millions of its citizens. .

A bloviating bag of stool is our POTUS
Misspelled Tweets are how he goads us
He hates Dems and Hispanics
Over Mueller he panics
But Republicans are thinking “A+”

The only thing special about Trump is that he was apparently raised by his rich father to believe that he’s specially entitled to do what he wants whenever he wants, with no moral compass. That act has gotten both very tiresome and very dangerous.

Since I have lived in an interracial setting for most of my life, nothing about a significant part of the country supporting him surprises me. However, I do hate the leader of the country spouting such dangerous rhetoric.

The Civil War obviously didn’t end racism in America — both open and latent racism have remained embedded in our society. Under Trump, what was latent is becoming open, and what was open is becoming even more so. The implications of this for the future are apparent to those who have studied history, and had better become apparent to the rest of us, or “dangerous rhetoric” will lead this country to no-holds-barred despotism.

My kids call him Donald Pump and delight in the fact that, anyway, Trump does, in fact, mean… Pump. I don’t see them finding a remotely more funny joke any time soon…
