Don’t forget us @realDonaldTrump. Does marriage qualify as “hard work”? Re: @VPMikePence added “hard working” to “forgotten”. #AnimalFarmish

The Class of 1976, #TheApathetics “It’s how it’s reported, stupid.” Anyone else notice how Trump’s “Forgotten [People]” became the darling of the establishment’s “hard working forgotten [people]”?

“Dude, you didn’t get registered for the draft man.”

“They would not accept it anyway.  I would have registered…ask me first. Wars are not equal.”

***

I have an idea for a movie bit:

MOBSTER: That’s business. [A mobster has his mark and slugs him in the belly as he says the line, “That’s business.”  The victim, a stereo-typical “partier” of the Boomer generation {coming of age in the 70’s (see, Boomers Up, No Excuse by PBS.org et al., where diversity goes demographic)} slumps over in agony.  Out of breath, a nurse in a white Ratchet uniform and hat takes him away. This is updated form of the hook in vaudeville.

#fakenews could work well for #Trump. When bad news breaks we’ll think it’s boy cried wolf; then we’ll find out we’ve been duped #Rollerball

#Fictional41 @billclinton: Let’s take a poll #rednecks. 1st you insult the #rednecks

by the Rhodes Scholarship, now you insult the scholars exposing you are a redneck and always have been.

What’s in style?  Kim Kardashian or Huma Weiner?

Hillary’s didn’t take off yet.

Ahead of the curve, like Bette Davis.

Let’s take a poll Wellesley.

He’s a Rhodesian kind of redneck?

#Fictional41: Must be.

@ForeignAffairs: I’ve Done It More Than Once, Comment B4 Deflection that is…re: HOW AMERICA TURNED AGAINST EXPERTS! Think Tanks, Universities, Professional Associations, So-Called Wall Street. Build an entirely new wall or Villaraigosa will become Governor of California for the same reason Trump is President: #Sistemacreve (the immigration system is broken).

Dear Foreign Affairs:
Comment before reading (trends without “deflection”).

I ask your permission to comment on essays, comments, articles and book reviews, inter alia, before actually reading the thrust and body of the work.

Your publication is respected and I haven’t yet prognosticated, extrapolated, or opined in tweets, for instance, without finally reading the major body of the article, comment or essay.

Sincerely,

Linguistic Explorer, John Rubens
