The mendacious statements proceeding from Obama and Hillary are so unremarkable that one wonders whether they would have anything to say if they were not lying.

Mendacious is actually a two word combo of men and dacious meaning something that looks like a chick but crows like a rooster.

Trump often makes statements, fallacious
Though I find him naive, not mendacious
With Barack, Bill and Hill
There’s no truth they won’t kill
No one ever could call them veracious

I think we need to have “majority” defined as a word of the day.

Since the Trump fans don’t seem to understand the concept.

Majority is over 50%, which Trump has not managed as yet. Super majority is even more. We shall see.

I’ve got the earworm, too-but I was jamming to that tune on the way home from work...

The thunder woke me up at 3 this AM-and it had just stopped raining when I left for work at 7-

Any way Hillary is challenged
She chooses to be mendacious-
Whether she’s victim or angry
She’s not about to be gracious

I’m surprised that more people
Even given Bernie as a choice
Would still choose listening to
That angry and scolding voice

How about after a fight with Bill
And her there for the world to see-
Throwing ashtrays and F’bombs
She will never get a vote from me...

The tourist cabin up the road is apparently rented to weekend-type bikers for the next few days-I heard the bike thunder this AM and saw all the macho-fancy rides when I passed by-couldn’t miss them, since at least one has more chrome on it than a customized Freightliner...
