A New Word to Add to Your Lexicon

T-R-U-M-P-E-R-Y:  You Not Going to Believe This!

I think of myself as having a fairly good vocabulary, not Christopher Hitchens level, but I would say better than average, at least. I do a lot of reading, and I am always at the ready with my “Oxford Dictionary of English” (with Thesaurus, of course) when I inevitably come across words that are either new to me or that I have already looked up, perhaps a long time ago, and have forgotten their meaning. As I age, I find this happens much more frequently.  “Hooray” for aging! Just another perk of getting older.

Occasionally, I do run into a new word, one I’ve never heard before and have no idea of its’ meaning. And recently some very close friends of mine introduced me to a new word, although I’m not sure where they heard it or read it, but they are both pretty smart and extremely well read so I thought I’ll roll with it. I must admit, I thought it was a joke until I looked it up in my trusty OED, and found this:

T R U M P E R Y (archaic)

Noun:

  • Attractive articles of little value or use.
  • Practices or beliefs that are superficially or visually appealing but have little real value or worth

Adjective:

  • Showy but worthless: trumpery jewelry.
  • Delusive or shallow: that trumpery hope which lets us dupe ourselves.

Ringing any bells? The obvious application was just too much to overlook. I understand the “A rose by any other name”but I thought this to be nothing less than a message from the Universe! What could possibly describe the felonious, useless, empty-suit, currently occupying the White House better than his own name and what are the chances of such a coincidence? Consider that “Trump” was the name chosen by his grandfather when their actual name, “Drumpf”, evoked severe anti-German sentiment before and during WWI. Interestingly, the Fat Felon’s grandfather emigrated to the United States specifically to avoid mandatory compulsory service in the German military. I guess draft dodging runs in the family. In conclusion, you can expect to hear or read this word much more frequently from this point forwards.  Some things are just meant to be, I guess. 

Hi, MAGA!  Still Happy with the Felonious Pedophile Protector  You Put in Power?

The 34-time convicted FELON just can’t steal enough, fast enough, though he is trying!  

The TRAITOR that currently resides in what used to be the “People’s House” is on a mission to do as much damage to everything he can get his grubby, little hands on! It seems the East Wing of the White House – the People’s house, he had no authority or permission to touch a blade of grass on that property but “touch” he did and he must be held accountable for its’ destruction!  In fact, the original East Wing should be rebuilt at his own, personal, expense.  Not a single dime from the federal government; he can use some of the treasury funds he’s stolen to rebuild the People’s House!

 Next is the vulgar building with which he wants to replace the East Wing. His gawdy, classless, and highly illegal, “ballroom”.  First it was being paid for by “me and some of my friends”, not a dime coming from the taxpayers. Of course, that was then, this is now and the initial BS-story has changed completely!  Now it’s all coming from the taxpayer and nothing from his billionaire miscreants, and the Guardians Of Pedophiles in Congress!  You know, the guys that literally piss themselves at the very thought of a primary!  Presto, magic!  The funding went from being all private to all public just like that and at three times the cost at that! 

Oh, MAGA, as stupid as you are, what were you thinking when you signed up with a crooked billionaire to stand as a voice of the people?  Could you be any lazier (probably not) than to not even try to look into this imbecile’s past?  It’s not hard; it’s all out there, all you have do is read.  (Well, maybe it is harder than I thought for some of you.)

My one, happy, thought on all this is that it is you that is suffering and will continue to suffer along with all the black, brown, and lower income targets of this malcontent’s actions and policies.  You’re getting it right where you deserve it; right in the keister (See: Grey’s Anatomy for specific location).  And, I am truly sorry to say, our farmers also; I have not an ounce of sympathy for even one of them. They saw an “R” next to his name and that was all they needed. Forget about the fact that almost every program that farmers benefit from has been conceived, fought for, and implemented by the Dems!  But somehow, someway, you found a way to rationalize a vote for this demented sociopath and now you’re living with the consequences. I couldn’t care less.  You can take all the George Conways, Margaret Taylor Greenes, and all the other so-called awakened, regretful, wretches that finally saw the light and are coming around and you can keep them. I wouldn’t give you a bag of un-composted manure for any or all of them. They didn’t see who he was?  They didn’t know anything at all about his past; his fraud-filled, BS-laden bio he sold them? Many of these people are intelligent, college-educated individuals that should know better but we’re supposed to believe that they made an error in judgement?   Sorry, I’m not buying it.

So, while you squirm to find ways to stay afloat, pay your farm and bank loans back, or bring a profitless product to market at your own personal loss, or just put food on your table, you might just want to think!  And while I realize that that may be a challenging order for some of you, there are indeed some that are truly remorseful.  And they are going to need to prove it by acting it; getting involved in his removal from office and prosecution to the full extent of the law as he would to anyone that would offend him in even the least of ways. Anything less is unacceptable.

Lastly: RELEASE THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES!
