The Party of Personal Rancidity. . . . Please come CAPTION Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA)!!!




Duncan ("It must have been the dog that farted" ) Hunter is saying: "I'd like someone to explain to me in simple terms just how telling the truth is 'throwing my wife under the bus'? as you put it so bluntly. . . . Listen, I turned all of the family finances over to her the day we got married. . . She even paid Honeymoon suite. . . . If funds were misspent from my campaign donations, you'll have to ask her. . . . Hell, I don't even know how to write a check. . . . I mean, whose name goes where and stuff. . . . Just how is that 'throwing her under the bus'?"

"Manafort's face should be on the $20. How's that hyperbole?" Come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!



Donald ("I did a good deed once. Couldn't sleep for weeks." ) Trump is saying: "When you come right down to it, Ainsley, speaking against me or my actions as the President of the United States should be illegal, because it's spreading false information and deliberately misleading the electorate. . . . Forget about Russia. . . This is a thousand times worse. . . . Talk about treason! . . . . I've been more than tolerant for a long time, but there's an end to everything."



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

Above CAPTION based on the vomit of obfuscations, misdirections, arrogant rantings, and foul conceptions in the Fox interview with The Current Resident August 22, 2018. Here's one short clip (if you want you can find the rest):

"Today was the greatest day of my presidency!" . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!




Donald ("What, me worry?" ) Trump is saying: "And have you heard the latest?. . . Another leak from Mueller's investigation. . . .Turns out, they can't find a thing on me. . . . Not a single thing. . . . Can you believe it? . . . And yet they keep investigating and investigating. . . . 'Cause they hate Trump, who by the way is keeping his mouth shut. . . . I mean I could say a lot of things, if you know what I mean. . . . Meanwhile Mueller's leaking like a sieve. . . . You just can't make these things up!"

Creative CAPTION for 8.21.18 rally after Manafort guilty verdict and Cohen plea agreement earlier that day. Based only on my imagination of what he might liked to have said if he thought he could get away with it.

Idiot Child of the Enlightenment. . . . Please come CAPTION Steve Bannon!!



Steve ("Because I can" ) Bannon is saying: "Actually, Ari, it's a rather humble objective. . . . But then abolishing Europe's political establishment while reshaping its economic and social foundation is only the first step."




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

Above CAPTION has a more than "a ring of truth." See the Media Matters story on Bannon's interviews this year:

"Satan hates me!" . . . Please come CAPTION Alex Jones!!!




Alex ("Satan's my worst enemy. Satan and Hillary!" ) Jones is saying: "Leftist social media has banned me for a weak. . . . Why? . . . They say I'm a dangerous right-wing looney. . . . But as most of you out there already know, I'm as sane as they come, . . . and not with a lazy sanity, but with a I-the hell-really-mean-it sanity, a sanity that can break a brick wall with its head, . . . sane as a bullet to the brain-pan, is what I say. . . . How sane is that?"

Everybody loves a parade with pie! . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!




Donald ("I get drunk on anger" ) Trump is saying: “What the hell you mean I can’t have my ‘goddamn parade’? . . . Can you think of a better form of public masturbation? . . . What do you think the government’s for anyway?”
August 16, 2018

"Pardon for Manafort? Who's Manadort?" . . . Please come CAPTION Paul Manafort!!!



Paul ("We find the defendant . . . " ) Manafort is saying: "Appeal, hell. . . . I'd really planned to cooperate all along. . . Wasn't it obvious?"
August 15, 2018

"Get thee under the bus!" . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!




Presidented ("Only the best people" ) Trump is saying: "And while she's down there I'm having her check out the muffler and exhaust. . . . We'll be going pretty fast, but she's so good I'm sure she'll be able to do it. . . . Only the best."
August 14, 2018

"Solomon was a wimp!" . . . Please come CAPTION Fox's Jeanine Pirro!!!!





Jeanine ("You're going down!" ) Pirro is saying: "Every day it's more and more apparent: At the behest of Obama and the Clintons, not to mention their dear friends, several Russian oligarchs who are close to Putin, Mueller created this entire investigation out of whole cloth in order to distract us from the deep state's plans to shred the Constitution and turn over the election process to the DNC. But then I left out Mueller's own ties to a Russian Oligarch, and the way he orchestrated personal decisions in order to place several agents, each pretending to be Republican, into positions to fool a federal judge into issuing a FISA warrant, and then conspire with others in order to further the nefarious designs of . . . wait for it . . . . just another second . . . SATAN!!! . . . It's getting so obvious it's laughable!"

America's Embarrassment (bare-assed moment). . . . Please come CAPTION Rudy Giuliani!!!




Rudi ("Pinocchio with his pants on fire" ) Giuliani is saying: "I've heard that too, Howard, but I'm here to tell you I'm no more disoriented than a flock of geese headed due North without any maps or compasses much less classroom instructions or degrees in geography. With that kind of knowing just what you're up to, you don't have to be overly aware of what happened before or waste your time and energy on concern for what might happen next, which is called anticipation, you just have to realize where you are which always seems to be here and right now, unless you're someone else this time, then you're there and maybe then depending on who you are, but definitely there because two objects can't occupy the same space at the same time. . . . It's like having two people on the Republican ticket for Mayor of New York, it just won't compute. . . . How is that disoriented?"

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).
