Too late Jeffy.

But is that going to open his eyes to see that the party of the GrOPers’ range extends from abusing teens to killing grandmothers to bankrupting teachers to destroying the environments? Doubt it.

This will make me a pariah, I know, but I’ve never liked the microphone-mic abbreviation. Just like I wouldn’t like a bicycle-bic abbreviation. It should be mike, imho.

I will be shocked if Flake doesn’t vote for the tax bill, no matter what’s in it. Happily shocked mind you, but he toes the party line most of the time.

Hey, Drumpf got something right finally - Flake is unelectable. Because he’s not running, Shitforbrains!

I will boldly step forward and agree. Always seemed dumb. The phonetics of it are wrong. I also grew up saying “jimmies” and hate to hear people say “sprinkles” and the word “veggies” always sounds like baby talk to me.

Maybe I’ll stop now before I start a riot. :grimacing:

Leave the Republican Party, become an independent, caucus with the Democrats.

Become the Party of Moore? Ha! Somebody hasn’t been paying attention. I guess that’s what happens when you spend half of your waking hours grovelling for cash from sociopath billionaires

I wanted to see the tweet - so I ventured to Trump’s twitter feed. 2 Comments: I don’t think he wrote it (there were several polysyllabic words - including anemic) - or he has finally learned to use the dictionary on his phone; and WHO selected the banner photo (background on the main page) - it is terribly unflattering. Can the WH photographer do no better? Seriously it looks like something we would pick for its mock ability. Forgive me for linking this here https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump

I can’t wait for the tweets when more Mueller indictments hit closer to home and Republicans really start turning against Trump the person as well as Trump the so-called president. Sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas would be good - I’ve got some things on my calendar, but I can free up some time for that enjoyment.

I don’t have a big problem with mic/mike, and I love the bicycle analogy. To my way of thinking (the only important one in the world
) jimmies are chocolate, while sprinkles are usually rainbow-colored. And I am lighting a torch and grabbing a pitchfork to remove the word “veggies” from our vocabulary. “Vegetable” is not that hard to pronounce and “veggies” smacks of immaturity. Now, how do you feel about using “u” for “you”? Two more letters to type? Really? Really?? Besides, Twitter allows 240 characters now. I cringe every time I see it. Also, too, #tuckfrump.

Love it! So the Orange Pariah basically admits, whether he realizes it or not, that the GOP devolving into the POT (Party Of Trump) is not a compliment. Sad!

Think “veggies” Is bad? Try “veg”. As in meat and two veg.

Some of that stuff came about when you had to make a zillion button presses on a dumb phone just to get a short phrase done, but it doesn’t exactly enrich the language. We all have our pet peeves, and I’m like a crazy cat lady for having them in high numbers. Worked at a lifestyle magazine years ago and it set my teeth on edge every time a writer went to a reception and talking about all the people sipping this and nibbling that. Always with the sipping and the nibbling.

I’m not a fan of what I call New York Times words, i.e., slightly pompous clichĂ©s that are avoided by ordinary people but which NYT writers use to fancy-up their leaden prose. Chief examples: ‘plethora’ and ‘myriad’.

Flake: Nothing will derail my resolve to take money from the poor and give it to the rich. Not even the Drumpf.

Don’t forget the Britishisms like “gob-smacked.” :smile:

I haven’t. Add “dead chuffed” to that.

I’m really quite surprised not to have seen “peepeedophilia” out there. It would enrich the discourse.
