Let me make this pellucidly clear

[malaise]

The Con and his ReTHUGs have shut down the government in the middle of the Christmas holidays.
This is the real war on Christmas. They are vile scumbags who don't give a rat's ass about poor people.

[spanone]

1. I admit, I had to look it up!!!!

I agree whole heartedly....K&R...

[malaise]

3. Our union leader loved that word

He was quite the expert on rhetoric.

[spanone]

11. I now love it too!

🌲

[Hermit-The-Prog]

2. how many people don't know or don't think it matters?

The Cowardly Baby Don and the GOPers are wasteful, evil, lying bastards.

[malaise]

5. Truth is most people are busy preparing for the holidays with their

Families, but many Federal workers will be hurt particularly those who need their paychecks the most.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. if each federal worker tells 2 people ...

The TrumpShutdown and the trumpslump could cause some people to start paying attention and get pissed off.

[BigmanPigman]

15. This is the new normal so they do not care unless it directly effects them.

This is the third one in a year...people are getting used to the BS and chaos ...he is a sick, sick, sick sociopathic, sadistic narcissist.

[PhrankT]

4. From Oxford: 'pellucid'

1Translucently clear.
1.1 Easily understood; lucid.


Ok. I had to look it up.

And your post is absolutely right.

Everytime he does this to Amerricans or allies, he grows in his self imagined power.

Like in a SyFy movie

[malaise]

7. Our union leader used that phase with regularity during wage and benefit negotiations

[PhrankT]

8. Thanks. We all come away better people today.

[guillaumeb]

6. Points for using the word pellucid.

The GOP is counting on the short attention span of their base.

[ProudLib72]

9. I will give points for "pellucid"

But subtract those points for being pleonastic.

I forgive you Malaise!

Now let's get some powerful messaging out there conveying the fact that it was Donwald who is the Grinch this year!

[malaise]

12. But but but

isn't rhetoric deliberate repetition for effect?

[ProudLib72]

17. Oh, I suppose repetition is a rhetorical device

Ok, fine. I will just add those points back in. There, you get five points for the day! Gold star next to your name!

I'm thinking the Rump gets thousands of poop emojis, but no stars.

[malaise]

18. Hehehehe

That gold star is not free but at least I am free of ads .

[ProudLib72]

24. Oh, I totally meant something else!

Remember when you would get star stickers for good behavior or good grades in elementary school? That's what I was thinking of. So you get a gold star for using "pellucid", and Rump gets poop emojis for all of his covefefes.

[Xipe Totec]

36. I referred the case to the Department of Redundancy Department. nt

[malaise]

37. Bwaaaaah

If he had said 'Let me make this clear', it would not have stuck with us.
I love 'pellucidly clear'. It's too good".
Lets send the ReTHUGs to the Department of Redundancy Department.

[DFW]

39. I wouldn't mind sending Trump and Dense on a trip to Pellcidar

One-way, of course.

[keithbvadu2]

13. You got a lot of 'splainin' to do, luci.

[RambleTamble]

14. Not to belittle your statement but

[malaise]

16. Then let his cult pay for it

He promised them a wall paid for by Mexico. Everyone else will not pay for it.

[TygrBright]

19. And I'll make this redundantly repetitive: THEY DON'T CARE. n/t

[malaise]

31. They will eventually

Many will end up in prison

[Vinca]

20. Don has really got himself in a fix here. He wants to be on the golf course, but

he's pinned himself into a corner and is stuck on his own watching television in the White House. It's probably a good day for Kentucky Fried Chicken. LOL.

[malaise]

21. I hope they send the chocolate cake at two scoops from Mar a Lago

[monmouth4]

22. The WH staff must be thrilled he's there. When does their holiday begin?...sigh. n/t

[malaise]

28. What holidays

Only the naked emperor matters. Vile is too good a word.

[monmouth4]

34. Yaaaas, I forgot about his eminence.

[suffragette]

23. Exactly. And I would bet Trump thinks he is more impacted by not going to his resort than civil

servants possible financial crunch and those whose jobs depend upon federal employees using their services.

[Kurt V.]

25. what does pellucidly mean?

[malaise]

26. Clear

Lucid see#4.

[Kurt V.]

38. .

[Miles Archer]

27. He'll end up at Mar-A-Lago, too, if he's not already on the way.

He's going to keep that middle finger raised until the GOP snaps it off.

Democrats can send impeachment to the Senate, but right now (maybe never), it won't pass.

If they get to the point where they decide to cut their losses and install Pence, he'll be gone.

If that doesn't happen, it's the 2020 elections.

He won't quit, even in exchange for immunity for Ivanka, Don Jr, and Jared.

And look at his behavior since the midterms. It will get incrementally worse as Dems take control of the House.

Unless Senate Republicans get a conscience, grow a spine, or fret too much over their own self-interests, what we've got it what we've got. He's not going to sit out his 16 day "vacation" at the White House.

[malaise]

29. As we say

Moon run 'til day catch it. He will be stopped.

[warmfeet]

30. If the shut down goes on for very long

even the repugs will have to vote for impeachment.

GOOD!

Send this asshole to prison.

Life sentence.

[duforsure]

32. The American people will once again

Hold all republicans accountable in 2020 , and they will regret doing this . trump and the gop enjoy hurting people, and are cruel and corrupt criminals who'll pay dearly for their crimes and actions against us all. trumps using the wall as a diversion away from all the russian and criminal stuff coming out against him and others. They didn't learn a thing from the Mid term results.

[tclambert]

33. "Happy Holidays" declares victory!

[malaise]

35. Nice

[Initech]

40. But let's all focus on what stores greet customers with "Happy Holidays!" because Jesus.
