Happy New Year!

Let us hope that, in short order, as Our President becomes more and more successful in Making America Great Again, that the obsequious apologies from the never-trumpers come pouring in like a tsunami.

Worked with two guys way back. One would always tell the other, after the other had sufficiently kissed hind-quarters in a meeting, that he was such an obsequious young man.

Eyew...I’ve worked with people like that! A+!

After eight years of Obama being obsequious to the Iranian government, President Trump is calling for them to be removed.

It was that precise event (Obama excusing the Iranian slaughter of the protesters) and my caustic remarks on “that other site” that got me in trouble with the Administrator, and I came over to FR as a result!

Thanks for the memories...A++

The obsequious press had very brown and stinky noses for eight interminable years.

I cannot understand the obsequious and questionable results of the most admired polls each year. They almost always choose the most vile individuals.

It’s hopeful that we can look forward to seven more years of MAGA, without the obsequious Obie One seeking to apologize to the world for Americas “faults”…

The polls are rigged, skewed, heavily sampled on predictable demographics, and biased.

And, as you say, Obsequious towards the LEFT

Indeed. That fawning, obsequious, sanctimonious, groveling, “Apology Tour” still rankles, some 8 years later!

[dfwgator]

Be thoughtful and trustful and childlike
Be witty and happy and wise
Be honest and love all your neighbors
Be obsequious, purple, and clairvoyant

It is 32, cloudy-the sleet that was coming down earlier stopped-now there are just a few flakes of snow falling off and on-driving on these steep roads is a bad idea now, so everyone I know is staying put-I’ve been making a head start on the 1st couple of bids I got for the new year...

Hillary’s minions are obsequious-
It doesn’t matter that they know
That she lives in delusion world
They certainly won’t let it show

They’re probably well aware of
What has happened after dark
To an enemy of the Clinton’s
Who walked in Ft. Marcy park

At the very least they would
Be witness to a tantrum or two-
Taking Bill’s place as target
For all the ashtrays she threw...

[left that other site]

Yes Indeed!

Just think...

How would these criminals survive at all, if it weren’t for their obsequious minions?
