The profligate pRes_ _ent produced by Pelosi's perjury.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan

Dictionary.com profligates definitions that are rather obnubulated, that is why you should use Websters or the Oxford English dictionary.

NTBCW profilegate, which would be a concocted scandal that a profligate Press & Pres_ent might proffer as a reason for opposition to his agenda, rather than blaming him and his policies as the true culprit...

I considered the three and settled on Dic.com, perhaps because it IS obnubulated. Seems to fit my teaching style.
