Let me count the ways ....

Our power went out for some unknown reason about an hour ago. I have a crap ton of work to do on this telework day and can’t do that OR watch the pope. Does anyone know if that’s being live streamed anywhere?
Although the left says they are equivalent
Syrian refugees are not just poor immigrants
Why sneak over the border
This Crises is made to order
Reinforced by the people’s Pope waxing grandiloqent
It’s hard to trump Trump when it comes to grandiloquence. 3
Ugh. Coffee.
Gotta speak louder, eh? Talk longer?
My grandkids will be glad I’m not Grandeloquent.
Barack thinks he’s just so grand, eloquent
In truth, he is merely grandiloquent
Too big for his breeches
So smug, reading speeches
Mendacious, self-serving, inconsequent

No idea. I put FOX on to watch, then muted it. Been so long since I watched them that they drove me insane inside of two minutes.

Some would argue that Trump’s verbosity is only surpassed by his grandiloquence.
Just noticed an error....the word is an adjective, the noun in grandiloquence. Sorry for the confusion. I got the post ready late last night and failed to review it this morning. My bad.
A++++ Your post prompted me to find my mistake. You used it properly. Thanks.
Doesn’t C-SPAN always cover what’s happening on the House floor?
Did you see that South Park outed themselves as part of the GOP Establishment last night?
Bombastic Bushkin had nothing on the Trumpster.
i was using my iphone as a hotspot for wifi since the router obv works via power, and saw some of it on the USCCB site which was live streaming, but it did freeze up a fair amount. Dominion Power was in the culdesac all AM and they restored it just as the pope finished at 11 am.
ok i was excited to hear the sanctity of life, but he went almost immediately to the death penalty, which is permitted under the Catechism of the Catholic church. And there were far too many mentions of Dorothy Day. I see conservatives scrambling to grasp crumbs that he dropped on our issues, when he was bold and clear on the issues that the left prizes. On conservative issues he was waaaayyyy more subtle.
but trumpeting that thought can get you attacked ; )
did you SEE rich lowry say on Megyn Kelly’s show that Carly cut Trumps b@!!s off at the debate? i literally roared aloud!! i texted xshub who is out of town and he saw it too. HILARIOUS! of course trump was all over twitter whining like a b!t$h about it immediately! thought he was boycotting Fox? how’d he see it then??? Trump calling for FCC fines for Lowry! what a woman!
he’s dropped to 6th place i heard. people can stop worrying about Jeb, i think. he’s done.
