There is a great gibbosity of illegal invaders at our southern border will all manner of disease, terrorists and criminals.

Welcome to the great ‘fundamental transformation’!

Didn’t most of us like the way things were with freedom and liberty?

Who wanted to move away from this?

Sorry, delving into a gibbosity of commentary here…

Bill Clinton’s most troubling gibbosity
Was tamed by an intern’s generosity
Though she found it quite small
It made a a left towards the wall
Peyronie’s is a real curiosity
