Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Here is my example with WFTD.
The corybantic reaction of the Left on twitter after Hill bit the dust at the 9/11 memorial yesterday was truly astounding. At first it was total denial-- everyone stumbles, everyone gets sick. Then it became she's an absolute HEROINE for continuing to truck on while ill. The mental gymnastics they need to engage in are positively exhausting!
No pushing at the door please!
nice cool fallish day here in DC and environs, much like yesterday AM in NYC. No one passing out around here ; )
Yeah, they’re in a coryfrantic, corypanic mode in the dnc ... But who’s actually in charge?
WHO is the “person” who decides on their strategy, their press releases, their story?
My observations posted on a different FR thread:
What is really spooky is that last night PBS (beloved liberal site) started a new Masterpiece Theatre series, “Churchill’s Secret”. I only watched the first 1/2 hour because I had to go somewhere, but I have it recorded.
The story begins during the Eisenhower administration with Churchill leading a state dinner for Italian dignitaries. Churchill is giving a speech when he suddenly falters, catches himself, and sits down hard. (Looked just like some of Hillary’s recent performances). His ministers smoothly take over and, at Lady Clementine’s directive, usher the Italians into another room, presumably to enjoy brandy and cigars.
Churchill is helped to his feet, and Lady Clementine demands that he be moved to his home. He collapses again in the back of the car, falling hard on Lady Churchill. As they moved him into his house, it looked EXACTLY like Hillary’s aides dragging her into her black van.
The next scene opens in Churchill’s sick room. All of his
aides are being kept in the dark, as to his condition. The titans of the English press are called secretly to Churchill’s house and are begged to keep his condition secret for the good of the country.
Obviously, this series was shot months ago and was already “in the can” long before Hillary’s problems began to surface.
My question: Will this make voters sit up and take notice of her obvious problems, OR will the brain dead libs just make excuses, saying, “See, even Churchill had aides doing his work for him during a time of crisis and everything turned out OK.”
Time will tell. I’ll watch the show over again, all the way to the end, tonight. PBS usually repeats Masterpiece during the week, so catch it if you can.
The Hillbots became corybantic
Her fainting spell left them all frantic
Overheated? pneumonia!
The next lie—they’ll phone ya’
And hide behind obscure semantic
Chelsea C called Trump misogynistic
That’s just the left’s old tired tactic
Of claiming bias
As they lie to us
And become more and more corybantic.
that is fascinating! thanks for posting those observations. I saw someone postulate on another thread that they will slip in Warren to replace her. I really need to find someone who is researching, legally, what can be done as far as replacing a candidate. I don’t have the time to do it, but there has to be someone somewhere who is doing this research to see exactly what they can do if, more likely WHEN, she can’t make it. you KNOW that debate is going to do her in. I wonder if she will ask for it to be postponed or canceled.
A++++ it was unbelievable the reaction on twitter. The hillbots in reaction to Rick Leventhal’s reporting on it, accusing him of LYING and making it up. You can smell the fear.
A++++ the daughter of Bill Clinton [or adopted at least ; )] has some stones calling anyone misogynistic.
At her funeral, they’ll still be saying she has a cold and seasonal allergies.
A 69 year old woman diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday, gives a speech Saturday and attends an outside event on Sunday, and plans to be in California today. Pneumonia can kill you, it got my dad at 67. The lies are getting less and less believable even to the Marxists.
I told my brother yesterday that I think they would attempt to elect her even if posthumously.
I hope that Trump follows through on his promise to release results of his physical. it may force her hand. anyone with eyes in their head can see that woman is very ill, but her followers are blind to it.
After the “pneumonia” story, I Tweeted that it was all part of a Vast Right-Lung Conspiracy.
Before the election, the RNC and DNC would choose a candidate’s replacement. It does not have to be the VP.
Here’s the answer to the question from the 2008 cycle, from the extreme Left:
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2008/09/dead_by_election_day.html
WOW! I saw that too, and immediately thought the same thoughts you did!
I WOULD NOT put that past PBS.
Short Synopsis:
Winston has a stroke.
Pretty Nurse rehabilitates him.(And kind of falls in love)
Winston gives a speech, loses his place, and then finishes extemporaneously to wild, corybantic approval.
Winston serves 18 more months as PM.
THE END.
Then they had a “special” talking about how they made the movie.
thanks! yes, the concern about McCain’s health was motivating them. I don’t often agree with Meghan McCain but her tweet yesterday asking for an apology from those journalists who were up her father’s butt sideways over his health but are giving Hillary as free pass, was very well taken.
haha!
We were all corybantic on Saturday afternoon for a barnburner of a Pitt-Penn State game. My throat was sore yesterday from the screaming.
