The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
Homework time!
The jawbone is connected to the assbone, in this case.
I prefer to use that word as a verb in reference to the old hero Samson:
“The idiot Democrat senators who voted for this should be taken out back and jawboned about the head and shoulders until they get some sense knocked into them...”
The President has tasked John Podesta to do his “jawboning” on Climate change. Mr. Podesta has designed an App that will create an electronic simulation of what climate change will do to our own areas of the country. The question is: will anybody believe this fiction?
Indeed, the current occupant of the White House does seem to suffer from cranial-rectal inversion.
The jawbone of an ass is a fitting weapon to use against asses.
Lie to the entire world? There's an app for that.
Rain and snow predicted for today with a high of 40 degrees. And we are supposed to have all of our heating units removed and replaced from off the roof of our plant! Cranes arriving in 45 minutes. We’ll see how it goes.
Believe that Podesta designed an app?
No. No one will believe that.
that guy is way too muscular to be obams! and pooty looks great in prison stripes!
That was an abbreviated way of describing Podesta’s plan. The important “take away” is that Podesta has hired someone to create an App to appeal to the younger folks to convince them of the horrors of climate change. They know that the older generations are too wise and experienced to believe this fol de rol. But, they think that they still have a chance to convince the millions who play with Apps all day.
I couldn’t come an agreement on the terms of the company I had a contract with, so after March 31st I will be a former jawboning, independent businessman again.

Since the dems can’t run on the success of Obamacare, and they can’t run on foreign policy success, and they can’t run on the economy, and they can’t run on the absence of scandals, all they can do is make stuff up: climate change, war on women, minimum wage (and now overtime wages) and the like. The people who are dumb enough to fall for this drivel were already dem voters. Independents who give a modicum of thought to the process cannot possibly vote democrat. And, conservatives will be motivated to turn out in droves to get these imbeciles out of office.
A+
Good luck.
And all of that will be counter-balanced by massive vote fraud. The political Right should be doing EVERYTHING it can RIGHT NOW to get vote fraud reduced. Requiring ID, voter roll audits, huge grassroots push to get volunteers to monitor polling places, etc etc etc.
i hope you are right, but the American people have disappointed me before. I cannot underestimate their stupidity.
