"I'll give you my tax returns as soon as I get Obama's stool sample." . Come CAPTION Donald Trump!!




Donald ("Don't touch the hair&quot Trump is saying: "Don't get me wrong, folks, I'm not saying that if the Republicans try to take the nomination away from me that there will be riots in Cleveland. . . . That's just what I'm hearing is all."

"Punching a slave can damage your property." . . . Please come CAPTION Bill O'Reilly!!!



Bill ("From God's mouth to my ear&quot O'Reilly is saying: "The Congressional Black Caucus is dead wrong once again!!! . . . When I said I wanted to slap Rep. Clyburn, I didn't say 'slap' because he was black. . . . Of course if he would have been white, I'd likely have said I wanted to punch him out. . . . But it doesn't follow I used 'slap' because Clyburn is black and you need to treat him like you treat a child. . . . That's just another instance of The Black Caucus' twisted thinking. . . . That's the memo for tonight. . . . Next, Donald Trump's hidden support by women, Black and Latino likely voters."

Donald ("Two of my college professors committed suicide&quot Trump is saying: "Listen, Bret, listen. . . . I'm going to do very well with the independents and even a lot of Democrats. . . . I mean, fantastic, really. . . . Why, this morning this one far-left-wing web-site, Democratic something-or-another, endorsed me. . . . What they all said about me was great! . . . A ringing endorsement! . . . I mean ten-of thousands of liberals rom just that one site alone, would you believe it?"

"They found Obama's fingerprints on the gun and covered it up!" Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!



Donald ("What's wrong with everybody?&quot Trump is saying: "Listen, if John Lennon had a gun he'd be alive today. . . . If John Paul Two would have had a gun he wouldn't have been wounded! . . . How clear do I have to be? . . . If the Lindbergh baby had a gun . . . Well, you get the point."

The Donald Trump appreciation thread!

As a life-long Democrat, I have to hand it to you, Mr. Trump. Your no-guff, take-no-prisoners approach is working; the polls just have not caught up to you yet. But when they do . . . WOW!

You're doing great just by being your great self! . . . Don't listen to others. They're losers.

You can start by doubling down on the Obama-treason angle. According to several high Democratic sources of mine, you've just uncovered the tip of the iceberg. Keep shaking that tree and the whole sordid, homicidal mess will spill out. . . . And when that happens, you will be even greater than you are now! Maybe President for Life or . . .?

These same sources tell me that Obama and Hillary are calling in the numbers to the pollsters every night. But the pollsters are getting antsy.


So keep at it Mr. Trump! I wish you a fortune commensurate with what you deserve. Or I should say, the likes of which you so hugely deserve!

Second posting several hours later:

Addendum:


Mr. Trump,

Please don't take our silence for a lack of support.

On the contrary, there are thousands, maybe millions on Democratic Underground who secretly support you because they understand feeling right and good is more important than specifics for what one might do before he's there, which is just speculation, and, frankly, some of us want to be "brought into line," if you know what I mean.

So just keep doing what you've been doing these past two weeks. You're great and we're strongly behind you.

Gee. This could be a landslide, Mr. Trump!

Yer Pal,

Skip

"Washington Post, you're fired! Get outta here!!" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!




Donald ("Writers are scum&quot Trump is saying: "I'm telling you folks, no one loves the press more than me! . . . They're fantastic! . . . I mean some, anyway. . . . But when one of these miserable, back-biting, jackal-mugged, lying creeps claims I said Obama directed another terrorist attack from the oval office, . . . they're outta here! . . . And I'm saying that as the man who loves the press!"


***************************************************************

Above CAPTION based on Trump's revocation of press credential 6.13.16 of The Washington Post for writing a headline they didn't write. Here's the CNBC story:

"LGBT stands for 'lesbian, gay, bacon, and tomato,' right?" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!



Donald ("You won't believe what I'm hearing!&quot Trump is saying: "Let's get this straight! . . . I'm not saying Obama directed this murderer's actions, or anything like that. . . . That's just what I'm hearing. . . . I absolutely wouldn't say something like that! . . . But believe it or not, that's the least of what I'm hearing. . . . Not even Satan would believe the rest."


********************************************************************

Above CAPTION based on Trump's 6.13.16 comments suggesting Obama was sympathetic to the cause or actions of terrorists. The Guardian covers this well:

"Obama knows the secret ISIS hanbdshake." . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!




Donald ("The only time I was wrong was when I briefly thought I had made a mistake&quot Trump is saying: "Folks, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying Obama is a card-carrying member of ISIS. . . . I'd never say that! . . . Not without more evidence, anyway. . . .I just wondering why he won't say 'radical Islamic terrorism,' or why he wants to fast-track hundreds of thousands of unverified Syrians into the country, or why he wants the FBI to look the other way when they see a Muslim with a full clip and ready finger. . . . I'm just wondering, is all."

"My loathing for others almost matches my loathing for myself." Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!



Donald ("I love my wretched self&quot Trump is thinking: "A lot of people out there want to kill us. . . . They are sick with hate. . . . Well, I'm the hate doctor! . . . When I'm done with them, they'll be stiff with hate on a slab in the morgue, and America will have a healthy, even a robust hate. . . . My first prescription: arm every citizen."

. . . and sometimes you get the bear! . . . Please come CAPTION Fox's favorite Pep Boy!!!




Bret ("I'm so straight, I scare myself&quot Baier is saying: "Some are saying that Obama's strong words are at least somewhat disingenuous if not an indication of outright hypocrisy since his own refusal to say the words 'radical Islamic terrorism' is the root cause of such terrorism. . . . I mean, if you want to be objective. . . . Well, you be the judge. . . . By the way, Hillary Clinton also refuses to say those words. . . . That's it for tonight for Fox News, Fair and Balanced as always."

About skip fox

I am retired, now a professor emeritus at University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where I taught in the English department for 37 years. I've written 4 chapbooks and 5 full-sized books (all listed as poetry though many include other genres as well), including _Sheer Indefinite: Selected Poems, 1991-2012 (Univ. of New Orleans Press, 2012). I've also written a 500+ page bibliography of three contemporary poets: Robert Creeley, Ed Dorn, and Robert Duncan. I am writing now, both fiction and poetry, more now than ever. My first vote for President of the United States was for Dick Gregory in 1968 (Bowling Green, Ohio). Favorite quote: "It's easy to be an idealist if you don't have to mind the evidence, but no one said it was supposed to be easy" (Richard LaPauvre).
