Great idea, Doc! I'm not sure I have the intestinal fortitude to go digging through the pResident's fecal outpourings , but I will heartily cheer the less-easily nauseated amongst us in their efforts.

I'm glad you like the idea. I did find a site that lets you search Il Duce's tweets, but, alas, it failed to function properly on my old system.

Anyhow, Il Duce has indisputably earned the title "Complainer-in-Chief," so by his recent statement, he should leave the planet country.

Default Presidential news quiz

Multiple choice. Don't worry. In keeping with the nature of the current holder of the office, there are no correct answers.

Question 1: The president has addressed the shooting in El Paso by

a) Suggesting he would pardon the shooter of any federal charges, for his good work on the immigration issue

b) Threatening to sue the shooter over his "manifesto" -- for plagiarism

c) Both (a) and (b)

Question 2: The president's statement on the shootings included the declaration that "In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart and devours the soul." He was declaring that

a) He is going to give another statement apologizing for his demagoguery, and resign

b) The House should immediately vote unanimously to impeach him, and the Senate should then immediately vote unanimously to remove him from office.

Danish royal palace ‘surprised’ by Trump canceling trip
Quote:
Trump announced his decision by tweet after the Danish prime minister dismissed the notion of selling the semi-autonomous territory to the U.S. as "an absurd discussion."

Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time," Trump said.

I've seen one of an advisor speaking quietly into Trumps ear and a caption very similar to "You will be pleased to know that your IQ test has come back negative".

I'll see if I can dig up either or both.

Default Super Callous Fragile Racist Sexist Nazi POTUS

Sites with merchandise bearing this slogan are many. There are also coffee mugs.

Amazon has some T's pictured here. Also, with "nazi" replaced by "not my" here. Also, "Super Callous Fragile Racist Extra Braggadocious" T's here.

I didn't find the one of the advisor speaking into Il Duce's ear, but "your IQ test has come back negative" is all over the Internet, like a rash.

Methink the first one should have been "stupid" or similar. There is nothing "super" about "it". There are also versions where "nazi" is replaced by "orange", which is easier to "sing" and fits better to him (honestly, I don't like him much, but I would not call him "nazi" either).

I noticed that too. I think the intended meaning was to have "super" modifying "callous," and would have been better conveyed with the two words on one line, like

SUPER CALLOUS

or

SUPER-CALLOUS

Need I say that this is modeled on a single invented word? Does it really matter if words are run together or not? It's a sound play, anyway.

supercalifragilisticexpealidocious (pardon any misspelling )
