After bombings, libs prefer a circumbendibus
They don’t want to call it terror; they pretend to us
That Islam wasn’t a factor
Could have been some other actor
Their naiveté may soon become the end of us

And THAT’S a Fact!

Although a limerick is a meandering circumbendibus rather than a concise statement like this:

Islam is a Death Cult.

That was some Masterful Rhyming, FRiend! :-)

It’s all a bit circumbendibus
Hillary’s route to lord it over us.
First she lost to Obama
Amid racist drama
Now it’s Trump that she does cuss.

After it hit the big animals and the tent, the school’s vehicle was not only bent in three places, but was dented in many more.

Yes, it was circusbendibusly written off by the insurance company under unusual circumstances.

“No one will work harder to make your life better,” Clinton told a crowd of about 200

Clinton promises free college and then accidentally blurts out a deeper truth.

Youth are going to flock to her campaign when she can’t even climb stairs without assistance? She is OLD, while Trump appears physically fit and energetic. The contrast is startling to anyone with eyes. It’s amazing how close they are in age, but it’s light years apart in stamina. You are right, she will be lucky to be alive in four, let alone eight.

that’s why it’s ludicrous when they try to draw equivalence between their health. one looks like she is at deaths door the other has boundless energy. I was spitting nails last week when Greg Jarrett was questioning a dr about their physical health and he was going on and on about HE”S OVERWEIGHT, I was screaming in the car at the XM Radio, and granny Clinton ISN”T?>?>???

I have dropped another three pounds in recent days. It is alarming. We shall see. I usually work my tail off to lose three pounds in a month. I am up to 18lbs lost without dieting. I am worried. Another specialist to see on Oct 19th.
