#putin's poor judgement

[tomorrowusa]

In 2005, Putin famously lamented the collapse of the Soviet Union as the “great geopolitical catastrophe” of the 20th century. It would be ironic if his war completes the Soviet dissolution.

– Thomas E. Ricks, military and national security journalist, writing at the New York Times.

Putin is no time lord, he can't turn back the clock no matter how much he wishes to be Stalin. The Soviet Union is DEAD DEAD DEAD and nobody can bring it back.

Nobody has done more in this century to strengthen NATO, make former parts of the USSR more distrustful of Russia, and damage the Russian economy than Vladimir Putin. The invasion of Ukraine was an overreach of Shakespearean magnitude.

Putin is Russia's self-inflicted catastrophe of the 21st century. And it may take much of the rest of this century to sort out the mess he's created.

Trump Is A Fake Billionaire

The failure of Donald J Trump to post a bond for the $466 million fraud fine judgement against him has confirmed what many have suspected for some time. Trump is a fake billionaire. He does not have access to this kind of money because his properties are already mortgaged to the hilt. The more concerning matter is the fact that the pretty useless American rules of standing for the highest office in the land have no provision for candidates in massive debt. How stupid is this! Apparently, you can become President of the United States owing huge amounts of money to all and sundry. You can owe hundreds of millions to foreign powers – no problem. The American system is a joke!

Trump As Massive Debtor Free To Run For President

There are so many holes in the way things operate for the most eminent and powerful it is a travesty. Laws of the land are only for poor and powerless people, it seems. Who went to jail over the January 6th insurrection? Oh yeah, the ordinary schmucks. Who didn’t? Donald Trump and the politicians. Election interference? Nobody important has been prosecuted yet. Now, that the elected Republicans are largely made up of totally disreputable individuals the justice system is mute and impotent because the political side of things overrides everything else. Liars in Congress fill the benches everywhere you look. Margorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan, and Nancy Mace are indicative of the rot that has set in on the GOP side of things. “Now consider the Republican brand for the 2024 presidential cycle. Voters’ perceptions of what the party stands for are based on coverage or exposure to Republican officials who generate the most media attention. By that metric, the Grand Old Party’s modern brand is toxic to at least half the electorate.” (https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/3959933-six-faces-of-the-gops-toxic-brand/)

Fake Billionaire Fermenting Further Trouble For America Politics has long been a circus in the US but it has reached the level of a freak show in 2024. The system no longer functions the way it was designed to do so. Donald Trump is making damn sure of that. Dysfunction breeds the fertile ground for fascism and totalitarian regimes. This is part of the GOP plan for America – the country has been betrayed by its right wing party. A fake billionaire is pulling the strings of the party of big business. Americans vote traditionally for the party and the leader who will make them more money. They buy into the stories told them of the dangers of socialism and helping those less fortunate. Many Americans embrace an iconic narrative around hard-nosed individualism. This is despite the leg-up they get from family and their privileged positions in society. Voting For A Crook Voting for a crook appears not to phase many on the Right. Laws do not apply to our guy! This is the motto of the new toxic Republican party. The justice system is fine and good when it is prosecuting our enemies – those lefty liberals. Trump remember, began his time in office in 2016, attacking any media criticism of himself as fake news. He established the muddy swamp of disinformation – a climate where folk do not know what to believe. Putin has done the same in Russia for many years. Muddy the waters and sew confusion is the name of the game. Social media serves this purpose mightily. The fake billionaire sits atop his pile of highly leveraged assets and shouts loudly to the world about his wealth and power.

The Trump Appeal The appeal of Trump seems to be in the mould of Archie Bunker from the TV sitcom All In The Family. A loud mouthed old white guy spouting off non-stop with entertaining BS. Obviously, a great affection exists for this American archetype in the collective consciousness of the nation. Trump adds some fake billionaire pizazz to the mix – old fat white guy with trophy wife on arm. There is nothing too subtle about his appeal to the American public – he gets their attention and makes them laugh a little by saying outrageous things. Trump mines the politics of grievance by blaming convenient touchstones of ‘the other’ for all their problems. White supremacy get served up again as everyone non-white gets the blame for the evils in the world. Illegal refugees flooding the country cried Trump and the GOP. Gay people and trans folk cop it, of course, for being different. Uppity women are an age old target too. Throw in Jews for good measure. Poisoning the blood of the nation! Everything woke is bad but nobody listening actually knows what the word means – it has become a catch-all pejorative for anything liberal and left leaning. Trump is a fake billionaire and now owes a further $93 million to Swiss company Chubb. America will not allow someone born outside of America to run for President but it’s fine to be incumbent to a foreign power for lots of money. Where is the independence and agency in that situation? America needs to wake up fast. Trump is destroying the democratic system upon which the republic is based. He has exposed the many holes in the setup. There are already far too many unanswered questions about Trump’s relationship to Vladimir Putin and Russia. America matters to the world and watching it slide into dysfunction and autocracy is abhorrent.

Zelensky's "Servant of the People"

i know it's probably not the best idea to psychoanalyze Zelensky based on the character he portrays in this series, especially since I've only watched season 1 and a bit of season 2.

but i think in many respects, the character of Vasil Goloborodko (Vasya) really shows what Zelensky values and what he fears.

notice that the show frames him as the smallest man in every room. everyone towers over him, even women and his aged parents. everyone looks down on him, and that is fine. he accepts it as his due. at home, he is messy and incompetent and knows it. at work, his labor as a history teacher is undervalued, and it makes him angry because he views it as a disservice to the study of history, not himself. and when he becomes President and suddenly has tons of servants and staff, he is angry at what he perceives as a misuse of government funds and trips over himself to be excruciatingly polite to the staff he can't dismiss.

Vasya has none of the sine qua non skills of the traditional male lead. he never fights, shoots, or does any sports on screen - save for scampering away from danger, and even that he does without any special athleticism. even the Western poster boy for TV good guys Ted Lasso (who Sudeikis admits is more or less a self-portrait) has a hidden ninja skill - dart throwing. Vasya never dominates anyone physically in any way.

when Vasya has nightmares - and he has them very often, they are a defining characteristic of his character, like night terrors with Will Graham - they are not about being in danger. they are about failing others. or being left alone. or having his friends turn on him. in other dreams, he sees great figures of the past passing judgement on him and finding him wanting. Zelensky also suffers from poor sleep. one can only imagine how much worse it has gotten in the last month.

Vasya is passive in everything except rooting out corruption. he can't pursue a woman, even one who is falling all over herself to get into his bed. he eats what he's given, unless it's too fancy; then he eats something else. he is careless with his appearance. he wears whatever is at hand, until someone forces him into new clothes. then he will obediently wear those clothes. he never asks anyone for anything.

his only method of retaliation for being wronged is verbal: he either yells out all his grievances (which he has a great voice for), makes an 'i'm not angry, just disappointed' speech, or gets sarcastic.

oddly enough, this is exactly what we have seen from Zelensky during the war. he can and will cajole, beg, plead; he will make arguments; he might move you to tears with his own grief. he will occasionally get sarcastic if he thinks you are not pulling your weight - and even with Putin. (in his hour-long interview two days ago with some Russian-language journalists, he closed with a bitter quip: 'Great party, now who's gonna clean up?')

but he will not intimidate. he will not threaten. he will, to the bitter end, try to make the other side see reason, like a teacher explaining a tough lesson to a lazy and careless student.

i don't know how successful Zelensky was in his anti-corruption quests before the way - not very, from what I hear. and i'm not saying he's a saint. but he does seem to be, in every way, the anti-thesis of putin.

From a Romanian Lokean regarding @theowlandfox discord behavior.

@birdgirl90

My dearest friends, I find myself once again angry and disappointed. I will post this rant here because it includes mentions of the war in Ukraine.

In Romania, they will implement obligatory military service for men between the ages of 20 and 35. And of course they are, because the Romanians, despite constant reassurance that they are part of NATO, are very much scared. And this implementation is testimony to that, because obligatory military service hasn't been a thing since the fall of the communist regime here.

The news play constantly here, speaking of the thousands of Ukrainians who were either forced to leave their homes, or have died in battle. Some of them were civilians, whose apartment buildings were bombarded.

The price of gas in my country skyrocketed, to a price that most Romanians cannot afford.

Romania has been helping Ukrainian refugees from day one, even if we are a poor country and unprepared for this. And we will continue to help, and it is our pride and our joy that we are able to do this little.

The Romanian economy had been crumbling since the beginning of the pandemic, and then this has happened.

Naturally we are collateral damage and the real tragedy is happening at our very borders.

And once again, hearing day and night about this war, and trembling in fear every time I hear a military plane above my apartment building (Romanian and NATO troops)... I cannot help but feel deep disappointment in Sara.

All it would have taken was one apology, one ounce of empathy for Ukrainians, for Eastern Europe who were completely unprepared to deal with this, because we are poor, and overlooked, and stigmatized by Western countries (this is a generalization, and I apologise for this, because I know there are people who like us, and view us as fellow souls).

Instead, what we received was not understanding, nor empathy. From our spiritual "leader" (or more accurately, a leader of the Lokean server), we received judgement and anger. A woman-child who immediately turned the discussion to herself, and how she has done so much for the community (implying, ofc, that the community is ungrateful), and how she needs to take a break from social media.

She deleted the server without a word, without showing any sort of responsibility towards her own actions (censoring talks about this event, and liking it to a social media affair).

Ukraine is ready to cede its so-called "separatist" regions to Russia, just to stop the war.

And here, we are afraid.

Eastern Europe was not prepared for this war. Our economy will suffer greatly, and so will the economy of all states who opposed the decisions of Putin.

If this rant is considered inappropriate, I apologise, but I cannot express how hurt I am, that someone I looked up to did this to her community.

Pens fans and Sid fans are great at holding our faves accountable - you’re probably not

If you’re inflamed by that title then this post is for you. Flouncing away from it makes you look like a clown who can’t handle criticism and correction. I’ll go ahead and preface this by saying my disability limits my usage of screens to only the absolute essentials so I won’t be back here to see if you’ve done either so please save yourself time and any huffy replies you’re bristling with. I’m not interested in returning to tumblr, trust me.

I shouldn’t be surprised considering this fandom’s selectiveness when it comes to politics and hockey but it’s still not great to get an anon message that huge swathes of fandom are now treating the topic of racism not with regards to Akim Aliu or BLM, but as a popularity contest of performative white men. Oh and their eagerness to once again remind anyone they think cares that “humph they don’t wike Sidney Cwosby and their fave is superior! Take THAT Cwosby fans!”

Again, y’all should’ve saved yourselves the trouble but fortunately I and Pens fandom have a nice history of protesting and holding our team and Sid accountable for you to learn from. Especially Caps and Blues fans recently, also anyone gross enough to be Ovechkin fans, but especially if you consciously decide to have anything to do with supporting the Blackhawks and not smacking yourself in the eye every time you type or utter the team name. Like, holy shit are we really out here on the brink of saying you can be best friends with Patrick Kane and still be... jesus christ. (Start here and work backward - any other Pens fans, rb and add your own history of it) I’ll try to keep this brief but I couldn’t really care less if anyone finds it too long lol. If you’re all willing to post about this shit then you can sit and listen.

1) If any of the gestures made by these white men has turned your head or made you think they’re better than other white men in hockey then a) you’re obviously biased towards them in the first place and are jumping on any fucking crumb cast your way, and b) you’re wrong. They do not care about you. They do not care about BLM. They have known all along when they and others have done wrong and they have done nothing until pressured to do so. They do not care about anything beyond hockey. 

2) I have watched multiple rotations of PR efforts to Make Hockey Players Seem Like Great Guys over the decades. This is the latest. They pretend to atonement. They donate. They make statements. They wear tape on their sticks. They put on special jerseys for fifteen minutes. They pose with the minority they have offended (or attend Pride parades and get nothing but praise for it and the unearned mantle of having saved gays everywhere). And yet as I am here to attest, it has never done anything. It is intended to make you like them and do exactly what you’re doing now - buy into their cultivated hierarchy of goodness that has zero relevance to real world ideas of goodness or morality. 

3) The bar is too low to call any white male hockey player a good man. “But you stan Crosby!!” Yep. Read through my blog and I absolutely go nuts with the narrative of this guy’s career and his impact or lack of action in hockey. I balance a fascination with him as a hockey player with real life criticism of him as a person. You can too! 

4) Lastly, if you think “omg my guy is SOOOOO much better than Crosby because of x, y, and z” then you are a fool. You’re playing precisely into what the NHL and it’s teams have been pushing - especially on female fans! You’ve been fed a version of a white man, you’ve been given a tamping down in terms of your expectations, and now you’re in love. You’ll take anything he throws you and carry it like a banner over the heads of any inferior hockey men! You’re the loser in this exchange.

Ironically for the latest batch of “I hate Crosby”, Sidney Crosby has in fact done far more to improve the diversity of hockey than your white faves - the Little Penguins was his baby and spread league wide as the Learn to Play program and his focus has been to push management of his teams toward making tickets and events accessible to lower income families. Most of your dudes wait for initiatives from Head Office to be handed down via PR. Here’s the kicker! that absolutely every Pens and Sid fan I know is aware of! Neither Sid’s proactive work nor most players’ going along makes them better than each other in a real world sense! Because none of them are doing a fraction of what they could easily be doing to tackle real issues in an up front and direct way! And they all know it and hide from it! They’re all white boys who don’t like to rock the boat unless enough of their brothers do it with them!

None of them spoke up for Akim Aliu in any actual supportive way!! They waited for human trash bag Evander Kane to say something and slowly trickled in!! they all waited!! They waited their whole careers and they’re gonna keep you waiting!! 

Jonathan Toews is not better than Sidney Crosby. You are the ones who are upset by that fact - we’re the ones who’ve never questioned it. Johnny being best friends with a racist and abuser (and defending him openly!) and never answering for his racist logo on his chest or his notoriously brazen racist fans DOES NOT GO AWAY just because in this instance Sidney Crosby was later than him. It does not disappear just because his fans read a silly and utterly empty, self-serving mansplaining text post and decide that he is suddenly better than Sidney Crosby’s equally empty statement days later. Judge these men intelligently!! Stop making it a teen magazine bestest boy rating!! DO NOT TELL PEOPLE TO BRUSH OFF A MAN’S FRIENDSHIP AND DEFENCE OF A RACIST ABUSER RAPIST JUST BECAUSE HE WROTE A NOTE SAYING HE’S FOUND OUT ABOUT RACISM AND BOY IT’S NOT GOOD EH.

Please, just for a second, just think of how stupid it is to take an issue like systemic racism and actually sit down and actually turn it into whose boy is better than whose. For the love of god please if nothing else stop doing that!!

THE TIME FOR STATEMENTS TO ACT AS BROWNIE POINTS IS DONE. THE TIME FOR WHITE MEN COPPING TO RACISM IN THEIR LEAGUE AND THE WORLD AS SOMETHING WORTHY OF PRAISE IS DONE. THEY ARE TOO LATE. STOP ACCEPTING SO LITTLE JUST SO YOU CAN ENGAGE IN STAN WARS. 

THE PEOPLE DOING THE WORK TO IMPROVE SYSTEMIC RACISM IS ALL YOU SHOULD CONCERN YOURSELF WITH. NOT THEIR SEEMINGLY BENEVOLENT OPPRESSORS. STOP TALKING ABOUT THEM. STOP PRAISING THEM. IF THEY REALLY MEAN WHAT THEY ARE SAYING THEY WILL CONTINUE WITHOUT PRAISE AND WE WILL SEE IT IN REALITY OVER YEARS TO COME. THEY GET NOTHING FROM US NOW. NOTHING.

NO ONE CARES THAT YOU DO NOT LIKE SIDNEY CROSBY. WE CARE THAT YOU ARE INSISTING THAT WE REDUCE OUR SOCIAL AWARENESS DOWN TO SLURPING ON ANY WHITE MAN’S EGO IN THE MIDST OF INEQUALITY AND ABUSE THAT HE - WHOEVER HE IS - HAS SILENTLY AND ACTIVELY PERPETUATED, JUST BECAUSE HE DONATED MONEY OR WROTE STUPID FUCKING WORDS IN NOTES APP.

Girls Interrupted, Chapter 1: The Institution: 1, Katya: 0 (Vatya) 2/2 - Maeve

A/N: It’s Maeve again! I’m so freaking surprised and overjoyed at the positive reception Girls Interrupted has received. All of you who have such kind things have truly inspired me to keep going on this. I can now say I'm rewatching seasons in the name of research! As always, feedback is welcome. I write because I enjoy it but also so other people can enjoy it, too. So, really, I’d love to hear any feedback or suggestions.

P.S. I’m having so much fun writing the interactions between Katya and the other queens, but I think my favorite part of this chapter is either an especially cheeky Sharon Needles line or the gym teacher/coach that is very loosely based on a straight Santino Rice

This chapter picks up right where the last chapter left off: Violet and Katya’s ice breaker activity…

Fortunately, Violet realized that she would—at the very least—have to cooperate with the menial activity. “Violet,” she supplied cooly.

Katya tried and failed to stifle her laugh. The raven-haired girl looked at her challengingly.

“Tha-that’s a good choice. Very good. I love every color!” Katya stammered as she wrote down Violet’s response. She couldn’t be sure if her partner was filling out her own worksheet, but Katya couldn’t bring herself to care that much. She just wanted this over and done with. Each moment she spent next to the cheerleader made her feel more and more inadequate. Violet was judging her; she felt small enough on her own.

“If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?” Katya continued.

This one Violet was quick to answer, “Literally anywhere but here.”

Her passive face told Katya she wasn’t going to get a better answer. I’ll just put down ‘Everywhere. She loves to travel.’, she resolved. “I think it would be really cool to go to Russia,” Katya offered.

Violet’s eyes left her phone screen. They searched the face of the blonde across the table, traveled down to Katya’s communism-inspired name card, and finally met her partner’s ocean blue eyes. “No?” Her face contorted in mock shock. “Let me guess,” she pandered, “If you could have lunch with any famous person dead or alive, you’d choose Putin.”

“Good guess,” Katya shook her head with amusement, “But it’s actually Maria Bamford.” It was obvious that Violet had no idea who Maria Bamford was. However, a quick glance at the clock told her there wasn’t enough time left in the class for her to go off on another tangent. “What about you, Violet?”

“Dita Von Teese. Next,” she urged.

“What are your favorite TV shows?” Katya continued eagerly, excited that Violet was finally being an active participant.

Violet’s response was almost instant, “Forensic Files and Sex and the City.” Everything about the brunette screamed confidence and certainty—something that came through in everything that she did. Katya wished it were that easy for her.

“I really like Game of Thrones, The Heart She Holler, and Storage Wars: Northern Treasures…..It’s the Canadian version,” Katya trailed off. There was an unspoken ‘and?’ in Violet’s expression, but she couldn’t produce a single reason for why that mattered. But it had mattered. “Anyway…What’s next?” Katya pushed through her embarrassment. “Something I’m good at? Sleeping, I’m good at sleeping. I guess I’m very bendy. Flexible. I can do theater, too…”

“Just put down cheer for me,” Violet ordered without looking up from her own worksheet. The blonde hesitated at the instruction, and Violet let out an impatient huff. “What?”

Katya was quick to apologize, “Sorry, it’s just that I thought you might say something about fashion.” She swallowed thickly. “I’m-I’ve seen you in the halls before, and you look good. Great. Your clothes. You clearly put a lot of effort into your appearance, and I thou—”

“Well, you thought wrong,” Violet spat. “You don’t know anything about me, so don’t pretend like you do.”

The blonde hurriedly scribbled down the word cheer under question five on her page and grabbed both of their papers. “Right. I’ll just go turn these in,” Katya fled the table without a thought. She had clearly angered Violet. Didn’t the popular kids like it when you stroked their egos? Katya wondered. She hadn’t meant to come off as judgemental. It was obvious that they weren’t on the same level, and hopefully Violet would understand that she hadn’t been trying to judge her. She only wanted to get to know the girl better, but she knew know how stupid she’d been to think that possible. No one like Violet would ever waste time on her. Sighing, she placed the two worksheets in a plastic turn-in bin labeled ‘4th’, and made her way back to her desk.

Katya had been disappointed that she had double A Lunch, but the forty minutes were the perfect break before pre-calculus. While it meant she could eat earlier, it also meant that she had no friends to eat with. Ginger and Bianca both had B Lunch. So Katya found herself on the steps of the stairs in the courtyard by the fine arts wing, eating a peanut butter and banana sandwich. There was beauty in the simple things, though, and Katya could appreciate the warmth of the sun and the slight breeze that late morning.

Mrs. Hugh’s room was stuffy. Katya’s funfetti extravaganza was clinging to her yet again, but she couldn’t adjust the fabric too much without disrupting those around her. She wasn’t willing to risk it. Unlike in all her other classes, the blonde always sat front and center in math class. All of the numbers made a mess in her head, and it was easier if she had fewer distractions. No one else felt the same way, though. So when Alaska tumbled in just before the tardy bell, Katya was forced into yet another less than ideal situation.The sunny cheerleader didn’t share that sentiment. Alaska flashed Katya a hundred watt smile and whispered a hello.

Katya didn’t get Alaska. Alaska wasn’t your stereotypical dumb blonde. She struggled in some areas but always kept up with the pack. So she was smarter than she looked? Big deal. What Katya failed to understand was why such a kind, sincere, and smart person would allow herself to be bullied by her peers. The cheer squad clearly didn’t think she had brain cells; Alaska was practically their punching bag from what she’d observed. So why hang around?

Miss Honard, you are an enigma, Katya assessed.

Katya’s continued curiosity over the duration of  Mrs. Hugh’s introductory speech gained her a very important piece of information: if she couldn’t get the lanky blonde out of her head, she was going to have to let her in. And Katya would not be friends with a cheerleader.

Katya praised Marx for the district employee who put Bianca Del Rio in her history class. She and Bianca were unlikely friends—a high school mascot and a theater kid didn’t really run in the same circles—but made an unstoppable duo. Coach A., their teacher seemed to get a kick out of them too.

Bianca was an unexpected constant in Katya’s life. The self-proclaimed bitch was Spartacus, the high school mascot, and the two would never have overlapped if not for their shared love/hate relationship with theater. She was a year younger than Katya but that didn’t stop her from providing Katya with the tough love she needed to keep her head screwed on. Keeping her head on straight was out of the question; Bianca did what she could.

The two girls schlepped over to the far side of the school where the gym was located. Katya, who had made the dumb decision to postpone getting her PE credit for as long, was not looking forward to an entire year of physical activity. Bianca, on the other hand, basically earned herself a double off campus by taking on the role of mascot. And yes, she definitely took pleasure in rubbing the fact in Katya’s face. Sucks to suck.

The other shit thing about a 7th period gym class was that Katya would be in uncomfortably close proximity to the cheerleaders. It felt wrong—almost like she was breaking a nonexistent restraining order. What sick bastard decided the plebs in “team sports” should be forced to observe the pretty girls in peak physical capacity while they drowned in their own sweat? Katya didn’t know the answer, and you certainly couldn’t hold her accountable if they were suddenly beheaded.

One locker and a stack of unisex uniforms later, Katya found herself entertaining the musings of Sharon Needles, resident goth girl.

“‘I look spooky, but I’m really nice,’” Sharon had said when they were assigned lockers next to each other. The witchy teen had a thing for reading people—not that an anxious Katya was hard to see through—and took one look at her and saw a kindred spirit. The funfetti dress and clown shoes didn’t scream normal, either. Katya had been uncharacteristically optimistic about befriending Sharon for all of ten minutes before everything went to shit. Phi Phi O’Hara, Sharon’s mortal enemy, also happened to be in the class.

“I’m surprised you took gym, Party City. Wouldn’t want you to melt in your own sweat.” Phi Phi snarked. The playground bully reclined herself against the row of lockers across from them and examined her nails.

Katya groaned inwardly. Sharon groaned outwardly.

“Fuck off, Phi Phi,” Sharon begged. “Don’t you ever get tired of the sound of your own voice? My ears are bleeding and not in a pleasant way.”

“Eat shit and die, Shar Bear,” Phi Phi called over her shoulder as she skipped off to bother some other poor shmucks.

Phi Phi the schoolyard bully reminded Katya of the villain poodle in one of those Open Season movies. Ironically, that poodle was also named Fifi, which was funny because the poodle was also a boy. Fifi the poodle was groomed like a pretty purse dog and had a little blue bow in his hair. Katya was inclined to take Phi Phi O’Hara—who was not incredibly dissimilar to a trophy pet—just as seriously.

“What crawled up her ass and died?” Katya scrunched up her face.

“If you find out, let me know,” Sharon deadpanned. “I need a smoke.” Katya watched in amusement as the locker room’s resident goth chick removed a pack of Marlboro’s and a lighter from her leather jacket. Sharon caught the blonde’s expression and raised her fist in response. “Fight the system,” she stoically decreed. Katya shrugged as if to say “what can you do?” and gestured for Sharon to walk back to the gym with her.

Their gym class had been banished to the wooden bleachers so the cheerleaders could practice for that Friday’s Back-To-School Pep Rally. The two girls tucked themselves into a far corner on the top row, and Sharon finally lit up.

Coach Rice, who had taken attendance at the beginning of class, had stepped in to assist Coach Calhoun with cheer practice.

Katya and Sharon were fortunate enough to have an unobstructed view of the girls shamelessly throwing themselves at the older man. The majority of the bimbettes were faces she expected: Detox, Roxy, Willam, Courtney, Adore, and Laganja. What she wasn’t expecting, however, was for one Violet Chachki to be the leader of the pack. Stratford’s mean queen never sought out attention, let alone fought for it. Miss Chachki was a one of a kind collectible, and the entire student body knew it. You either wanted her or wanted to be her.

Today, it seemed her flavor of choice was Santino Rice.

Katya udged Sharon with her elbow. “What do you make of that?” She consulted the other girl.

Sharon took a moment to complete her assessment. “I bet a girl that tightly wound is a real screamer in bed,” she answered smoothly. Katya had not been expecting any response of the sort and physically toppled over as she was seized by laughter. Katya’s wheezing drew the attention of those nearby, and Sharon had to hold her cigarette in her mouth so she could flip them off with both hands. They could mind their own fucking business.

Katya was still clinging onto Sharon’s thigh when her fit died down. “You bitch!” She shrieked.

“I’m not wrong,” Sharon defended, taking another long drag from her cigarette. “Ten bucks says she’s hitting on him right now.” In her best Valley Girl impression she crooned, “Oh, Coach Rice, can you help me with my form?”

Katya wasted no time in contributing to the impression. “Can we go to Red Lobster?” The blonde begged in her best Violet-esque bedroom voice.

The absurdity of the request and the thought of Violet, herself, saying those words caused Sharon to half cackle and half choke on her own smoke. Her throaty laugh bounced off of the walls, and this time, it wasn’t just a few pairs of eyes that turned to them.

Uh oh, Katya cringed, busted.

“Sharon Needles, put that shit out and march your ass on over to Assistant Principal Visage’s office!” Coach Rice demanded.

Katya facepalmed hard. What is wrong with you, you stupid whore? She groaned. It’s your fault she’s in deep shit, and she’s never going to speak to you again. The blonde was about to lose herself in an abyss of despair when Sharon’s voice filled the room again.

“Oh no!” Sharon drawled, “Whatever shall I do?” Katya had brought her head up to witness the spectacle and was met with Sharon’s shit-eating grin.

Katya raised her fist in solidarity, referencing Sharon’s anti-establishment words in the locker room. Her spooky new friend shot her a cheeky wink before saluting her corporate whistleblower and unhurriedly leaving the building.

Katya’s eyes left Sharon’s retreating form just in time to catch Violet glaring at her.

The blonde did her best not to worry. It wasn’t like Violet could have known they were talking about her, right?

The bell rang at 3:00, and Katya still hadn’t managed to put the captain of the cheer squad out of her mind. She spent her entire 8th period dodging Bianca’s questions and pleading for some all-knowing entity to tell her just where in life she had gone wrong. Definitely new year, same bullshit. Katya had attempted to begin her junior year with a more optimistic attitude, but after a first day for the history books, she was ready to call it quits.

You win, Stratford, you win. I am but a shell of a man. Woe is the poor soul who dare enter thee, Katya scowled.

The rest of Katya’s will to live vanished when she finally reached her trusty blue Beetle in the junior lot.

“Mother, I am want to commit death,” she muttered.

The cherry red convertible parked next to Katya’s car belonged to none other than Violet Chachki. The bright red exterior was blinding under the afternoon sun, and Katya had to squint to make out faces. A swarm of girls in uniform short skirts and halter tops formed a green and white sea around her only means of escape. Not wanting to engage with Violet for a third time that day, the blonde chose to turn on her heels and pop a squat on the curb.

It was going to be a long year.

Today, we begin with a new Full Measure poll on the national news media. As you might expect: the results aren’t very good. For the media. Whether it’s coverage of the Russia investigation or the Covington High School kids, news consumers on all sides of the political spectrum report declining trust — in us. We turn to two experts to analyze the current Media Madness.

Sharyl: One need only sample lowlights from a single month to get a sense of the problem.

In January, a Seattle Fox affiliate aired a doctored video of President Trump.

President Trump: Some have suggested a barrier is immoral.

Buzzfeed: The comparison which shows Trump with an altered face and a looped licking of his lips

The same month, Special Counsel Robert Mueller refuted a BuzzFeed bombshell that falsely claimed Trump directed his ex-lawyer to lie to Congress.

And a January article about Melania Trump in the Telegraph was followed by seven corrections an apologyand an undisclosed payment to Mrs. Trump. One-sided narratives presented virtually unchallenged. National news quoting anonymous sources that turn out to be wrong.

The headline contains the most devastating part: President Trump directed his attorney to lie to congress.

The same month, Special Counsel Robert Mueller refuted a Buzzfeed bombshell that falsely claimed Trump directed his ex-lawyer to lie to Congress.

The Washington Post took us “Inside theBattle Over Trump’s Immigration Order”— only to later admit the article misreported Trump’s actions, a reported meeting had not actually occurred, and a conference call hadn’t happened as described.

FBI Director James Comey debunked a New York Times article about supposed contacts between Trump campaign staff “senior Russian intelligence officials.”

And NBC News reported that Russian President Putin said he had compromising information about Trump. Actually, Putin said the opposite. It’s been a bad few years for media credibility.

A new Full Measure poll conducted for Full Measure by Scott Rasmussen finds: 42% of Americans believe national political news coverage is inaccurate and unreliable. Fewer— 38%—believe it’s accurate and reliable. And 52% say it’s worse compared to five years ago.

National political reporters also get poor scores. Only 26% of those polled say reporters carefully report the facts. 57% say reporters use news stories to promote their own ideological agenda.

Pollster Scott Rasmussen:

Rasmussen: We asked about national political reporters are, are they credible, are they reliable? And you know, a little more than one out of three people say yes. When we ask about Wikipedia, we get the exact same answer. So what's happening is we have a world where people look at journalists like they look at Wikipedia. “Gee, that's an interesting fact. I better check it myself.”

Sharyl: And what does that tell you?

Rasmussen: The media has a huge credibility problem and it's always had the problem. Oh, we talk about it differently today. Now we talk about it as a political bias. I think the issues have always been there. I mean, people were complaining about the bias of Walter Cronkite back in the 1960s.

Sharyl: People forget about that.

Walter Cronkite: For it seems now more certain then ever that the bloody experience in Vietnam is to end in a stalemate.

Sharyl: It is often argued that Donald Trump created this media environment where everybody hates the media. And then others say he simply understood that environment, and capitalized on it. Which is it you see?

Rasmussen: Oh, people have hated the media for a very long time

Trump: Fake news folks, fake news. Typical New York Times fake stories.

Rasmussen: Donald Trump capitalized on it. He understood it, but he's not the first to do so. The first President Bush when he was campaigning, he actually got kind of aggressive with, I think it was Dan Rather, during an interview because a lot of Republicans weren't sure he had the fire to, to be president.

President Bush 1: It's not fair to judge my whole career by a re-hash on Iran. How would you like it if I judge your career by those seven minutes when you walked off the set in New York? Would you like that?

Rasmussen: So he capitalized on that. But all you're doing is tapping into a sentiment that's already there and Donald Trump is playing them but beautifully

Rasmussen says his polling found a good recent example of how many today have come to regard— or disregard— the national media. The Covington High School pro-life students’ confrontation with a Native American activist at a Washington DC protest.

Rasmussen: When the story broke, of the students from Covington high school, we went out and polled right away when the story first broke and ask people what they thought. And as you would expect, liberals and conservatives had different views of whether the high school students acted inappropriately or somebody else did.

Sharyl: So to summarize, liberals probably thought the high school students who were pro-life behaved inappropriately and aggressively.

Rasmussen: Yes.

Sharyl: And Conservatives thought the Native American was the one who is inappropriate.

Rasmussen: Yes. And by the way, conservatives also thought the media was inappropriate.

ABC news: A group of teenagers, some Catholic high school students, seen wearing Make America Great Again hats, appearing to face off with Nathan Phillips – a 65 year old Native American.

Rasmussen: And then we had a week's full of coverage. And as you recall, there was a lot more coverage that came out, uh, about the incident. A lot more videos and a lot more information. And a week later, nobody's opinion changed.

Sharyl: I’m surprised by that because some reporters and in media even apologized that they had been too hard on the children at first or the high school students without knowing the full story.

Whoopi Goldberg: So many people admitted they made snap judgements before all these other facts came in.

Sharyl: But you're saying the public at large, didn't change their mind?

Rasmussen: That's correct. The public at large made up their mind. They knew their sources

Sharyl: But the most overwhelming results came when we asked about the motivation of political reporters.

Rasmussen: 78% of voters say that what reporters do with political news is promote their agenda. They think they use incidents as props for their agenda rather than seeking accurately record what happened. Only 14% think that a journalist is actually reporting what happened.

Sharyl: Most people also seem to think reporters cannot be fair when it comes to their chosen political candidate.

Rasmussen: if a reporter found out something that would hurt their favorite candidate, only 36% of voters think that they would report that.

Sharyl: So most people think the reporter would cover it up because they like the person?

Rasmussen: Right, exactly. So voters are looking at them as a political activist, not as a source of information.

Sesno: An actual report or professional reporter would yeah never do that.

Frank Sesno is a former CNN correspondent and bureau chief. As head of the School of Media and Public Affairs at The George Washington University, he routinely confronts declining public trust in the media.

Sesno: The public understands fundamentally what journalism should be. They don't understand how it's actually practiced. And that falls to news organizations in my view, to be more creative, more imaginative about how they're engaging with their publics, to both explain what they do to defend what they do when it's controversial and to be accountable for what they do if it's wrong.

Sharyl: After 2016 when so many of us got the election so wrong, we promised a period of self-reflection and correction, have we done it?

Sesno: No, not enough. If we had done the self-reflection and correction better and more deeply, there would be more reporters reporting from more places across the country talking to more diverse audiences. We would not be so in tiredly focused at least in certain media channels and places on the Trump administration and the outrage of the moment. That being said, there is so much news from this administration. It's kind of hard not to do that.

Trump: If we don’t get what we want, I will shut down the government.

Sharyl: In the era of the Trump presidency, can you point to a couple of things you think the media has done right

Sesno: I would start, actually, in the Trump era by calling out NPR. I think NPR has done an exceptional about getting outside of Washington and engaging other voices and people from different sides of the ideological divide to get their sense of what's happening. would call out the New York Times and the Washington Post for making remarkable use of multimedia. So there's a lot of good journalism and good media that's taking place also that, that extends beyond the Trump administration. There is such a thing as beyond the Trump administration.

It may not seem like it as we move quickly into campaign 2020.

Sharyl: I guess we should warn people, hang on to their seat belt with 2020 campaign coming. What do you foresee in terms of media?

Sesno: Yeah, so here's the next danger. The next is everybody for walks right off the cliff of coverage like they did last time. Obsessing over, you know, the, the candidate du jour, the moment, du jour. How will the media be able to arbitrate this mass of people who all want to be president so that the audience can follow it with some degree of clarity, and so that you neither fall into an oversimplified narrative, or a narrative that just revolves around the melodrama of who's up, who's down, and who's making the most noise or tweeting the most.

The faked assassination of Arkady Babchenko is a bizarre affair which has intriguing features similar to the murder of another journalist in Ukraine 18 years ago. The difference is that this previous killing was all too real, but in both cases the Ukrainian government and its security services showed the same weird capacity to discredit themselves by engaging in ill-conceived plots always likely to do them more harm than good.

The first of these scandals, which rapidly developed into a political crisis, began in November 2000 when a headless body was found by villagers in a wood on the outskirts of Kiev. The authorities were slow in identifying the corpse, but it seemed likely to be that of Georgiy Gongadze, the editor of an online paper called Ukraina Pravda that specialised in investigating official corruption.

Gongadze had disappeared on 16 September after dining with a friend and was last seen alive buying cat food in a shop on his way home. From the beginning, his friends suspected that his disappearance had been arranged by the security services of Leonid Kuchma, the Ukrainian president who was known to resent any criticism of his corrupt and authoritarian rule.

Even after the discovery of the decapitated body, it appeared unlikely that responsibility for the murder could ever be pinned on anybody in power. But this changed when Alexander Moroz, the well-regarded leader of the socialist opposition party in the Ukrainian parliament, revealed that he had been given a tape recording of Kuchma, his chief of staff and the interior minister in which they are heard denouncing Gongadze and discuss ways of silencing him, such as having him kidnapped by Chechen gangsters.

It looked likely that the leaders had concluded that the simplest way of dealing with Gongadze was to kill him. What they did not know was that their conversations were being recorded on a tape recorder installed by an officer called Mykola Melnichenko who belonged to the Ukrainian SBU security service – the successor to the KGB. He was singularly well placed to bug because he was in charge of making sure that the presidential offices were not being monitored by listening devices. He placed a tape recorder under the presidential sofa and changed the tapes every day.

The senior officials tried to discredit the evidence that they had ordered Gongadze’s abduction and murder by a special squad of security men. They claimed that the voices were not theirs or the tape recordings were fabricated, though they had been authenticated by experts. The police investigation went on at a snail’s pace, keen not to identify the body or allow anybody else to do so.

By this time international interest was aroused and foreign journalists like myself were arriving in Kiev. I met a friend of Gongadze called Alyona Prytula, who worked with him on his magazine and told me that he had shrapnel wounds which he had received when reporting fighting in Georgia. She had seen the body and said that “the corpse had shrapnel in it in the same places he did.” It was already becoming clear that the decision to kill Gongadze had come from the top, but all of those involved spent years trying to shift the blame onto each other.

What fascinated me at the time was the way in which Kuchma and his chief lieutenants had become obsessed with Gongadze, though his magazine had limited influence and posed no real threat to them. They could well have left him alone. Yet the tape recordings show that these men who were running the second largest country in Europe with a population of 50 million had repeatedly discussed how to eliminate this brave, but not very important, critic.

The self-destructive idiocy of the conspiracy has much in common with the faked murder of Babchenko earlier this week. It should have been obvious to Kuchma and his underlings that Gongadze dead could be a lot more dangerous to them than Gongadze alive. It should likewise have been blindingly clear to the densest Ukrainian security chief that fabricating the assassination of Babchenko and lying about it to everybody would permanently discredit whatever the Ukrainian government says in future. The claim that the scheme had a precedent in a fictional investigation by Sherlock Holmes was scarcely likely to improve their credibility.

To be fair, the Ukrainian SBU is not the only security service that has a fondness for crackpot schemes which will do them little good if they work, but will have disastrous consequences if anything goes wrong. Remember how the French foreign intelligence service attached limpet mines to the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior in Auckland harbour in New Zealand in 1985. This lunatic scheme, approved at the highest levels, sank the ship and killed one of those on board, all in order to prevent the minor irritant of Greenpeace protesting against a French nuclear test in the Pacific.

Intelligence services everywhere seem to attract crackpots with poor judgement who are dangerously detached from reality and revel in cunning plots. Because they can claim that secrecy is essential for their operations, they are not held to account and their failures are well hidden. In Britain in particular the skills and professionalism of MI5 and MI6 are lauded in awed tones by government ministers. But the outcome of British military intervention since 2003 shows the intelligence agencies have repeatedly failed to assess the risks correctly. In the Iraq war, trust was placed in the most patent conmen who claimed intimate knowledge of Saddam Hussein’s regime and its non-existent WMD programme.

Politicians and intelligence agencies are easily pilloried for their failures in recent wars and crises, but the media generally gives itself a free pass. Governments lied or were misinformed about Saddam being a threat to the world, but why did journalists allow themselves to be so easily spoon-fed with official propaganda? This self-serving naiveté skewed reporting in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria and was very visible once again in the reporting of the Babchenko affair. There was a knee-jerk belief that Vladimir Putin must be responsible for any killing of a critic of Russia, even when all the evidence for this is being provided by a government hostile to Russia.  

I have always found that Ukraine and Russia operate in much the same way, both drawing on their traditions of authoritarianism, violence, corruption and criminality.  

There is something absurd about journalists and news organisations complaining that they had been misled by the Ukrainian SBU. Why should it have suddenly developed such an interest in the safety of journalists, except as useful counters in the renewed Cold War between Russia and the West? Pity the Ukrainian journalists who enjoy no such protection. According to the Ukrainian National Union of Journalists, there were 90 assaults on journalists last year and nobody was punished in a single case.

Those hoodwinked by Ukrainian security services about the non-death of Babchenko have only themselves to blame for relying on such a partisan source. As the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists points out: “Given the SBU is an intelligence agency, which engages in deception, obfuscation, and propaganda, determining the truth will be very difficult.”

This war Russia underestimate their fellow Soviets who are too strong , technical and skilled . I have never heard before. They are compared to the Israeli commandoes. Kalitsiro Winfordkalitsiro not fellow Soviets. Free sovereign Ukrainians. Putin did not underestimate their strength and will. He underestimated his poor judgement. Who will pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine? I don't count myself as the party who should pay. My country has already sent help and aid, ie from my bank account, my tax!!. The rebuilding will be at the cost of the Russian people. They humoured this despot for 22 years. It's time they grew some courage and stood up for what is right. If they are too afraid, then it will come out of THEIR bank accounts not mine.

Pandemic and lockout

A pandemic of COVID-19 infection caused by the hitherto unknown SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus was raging in the country and the world. Experts say that COVID-19 will become a new seasonal disease, like flu.

So far, the severity of the purely epidemiological consequences of the pandemic is escalated by the media, and the ferocity of COVID-19 is due to purely economic, largely man-made consequences.

Bourgeois governments, international organizations, and private media suspiciously perform in unison. Even more suspicious that the fight against the pandemic is supported by oligarchs. It is difficult even for a person not experienced in politics to believe that the world oligarchy, the „business captains“ of the regional spill, and the top officials of the imperialist states, who have no place who have no place for branding them as criminals, were really worried about public health issues. Of course, if it was a question of COVID-19 mowing millions of people, thereby undermining the subject of exploitation of the bourgeoisie – labour force, then the struggle of these entities with a pandemic would look logical, and in the current conditions – not at all.

It is unlikely that the Russian government, which, in 2018, referring to the excess of old people in the country, cheekily raised its retirement age, in 2020, was concerned about the high mortality rate of the so-called pre-retirement persons and retirees.

We should find such a factor that has normally created the condition for the emergence, most likely, of a verbally inconsistent, but in essence a unified position of the world bourgeoisie, its national governments in combating the pandemic and inflating mass hysteria (which are just what the performances of Merkel, Johnson and Trump are worth).

The first thing that comes to mind is the raging protest riots in many bourgeois countries at the beginning of 2020. Quarantine measures are a great way to quench mass activity, at least temporarily.

The second is a sharp aggravation of conflicts in the international arena. In particular, the painful expulsion of the United States from the Middle East, which of course the US would like to suspend or postpone, and which the pandemic can contribute to.

Thirdly, the strengthening of rich countries due to the consequences of a pandemic in poor countries. For example, Italy and Spain will largely lose their weight concerning Germany, which is likely to lead to the final collapse of the EU and the formation of a less democratic European bloc with a more pronounced central role of Germany. Or, for example, as Lukashenko quite rightly noted, the fact that world quarantine hits those countries of the former USSR that are poor in natural resources, and they can finally lose their independence.

And finally, the fourth — the appearance of COVID-19 in China is clearly at the mercy of world imperialism, especially the United States — an additional reason for anti-Chinese, anti-Communist hysteria and the imposition of new sanctions.

However, these factors are private, each affects only some bourgeois countries. Here, rather, we can talk about how different governments take advantage of the pandemic and their own restrictions on this issue.

In turn, the only thing common for the whole world of capitalism that could create such a strikingly uniform policy of combating COVID-19 is another cyclical crisis of overproduction.

Marx has already proved that a market economy operates only in a mode of changing cycles of upturns and recessions, and the period of crisis does not necessarily follow the period of prosperity, it can also begin after a period of depression or some recovery of the economy. In our case, after the end of the 2008 crisis, there was a long period of depression and some economic recovery, rather than prosperity, which culminated in a new crisis in 2020. Its cause was not the COVID-19 pandemic, but the anarchy of capitalist production, that is, an immeasurable and talentless thirst for profit from scattered private owners.

The capitalists, for their short history by the standards of mankind, found, as you know, one instrument of struggle and two ways of exit from any crisis. And these are not exits in the sense of doors leading to prosperity and prosperity, but it is such a form of crisis state of society that has reached extreme severity, which is resolved only by a man-made disaster. And if there is no alternative to capitalism in society, then economic recovery begins, activity and possible upturn, after which the crisis looms again.

Thus, the found instrument of struggle is the accumulation of gigantic funds in the hands of the bourgeois state, which, during the crisis period, are generously showered above all with the banking system. From the point of view of good judgement, it looks as if the talentless, thieving, greedy oligarchs receive billions of subsidies from the state for their economic atrocities at the expense of narrow-minded taxpayers. From the point of view of Marxism, the capitalist class is the collective owner of the budget of its state, in which it saves part of its wealth, knowing about the onset of the crisis because of its irrepressible greed and desire to rise above all of humanity. There is only one reason for such foresight — the fear of the collapse of capitalism due to the aggravation of the class struggle in connection with the social disasters that follow crises. However, this tool is auxiliary in nature and is effective not during periods of the crisis itself, but during periods of depression and recovery. It has not the ability to get the capitalists out of their troubles and rid capitalism of crises.

Further. The first „found“ way out is the most radical — this is war. War always destroys a huge mass of excess value both in the form of production and in the form of „soap bubbles“. The war bankrupts medium and small capitalists. War turns a mass of proletarians into soldiers, destroys infrastructure, people, and so on. Gradually, imbalances are aligned and the economy comes to life. True, today a small war will not fulfill its functions, and starting a large war is not so simple step. Firstly, the nuclear armament of many countries serves as a deterrent. Secondly, a pampered western petty person will not go to war en masse, and it’s impossible to wage a big war only with mercenaries because even fools go to die for money only to a certain measure of losses. So, here we need a serious, long-term public opinion processing.

Which, incidentally, takes place in the United States in the 21st century, but how this work is successful time will tell. If the capitalists were not afraid of the enlightenment of the masses, they would have waged wars between countries continuously, observing the outcome as players in computer strategy.

The second way out is less radical — a lockout, i.e., a halt to production. A lockout also destroys a mass of value, bursts „bubbles“, bankrupts the middle and petty bourgeoisie. The lockout also shifts the whole burden of the crisis onto the shoulders of the working people, and the most unprotected layers of the proletariat.

Of course, both options for overcoming the crisis are a deliberate decision of the stratum of the commanding oligarchy.

Consequently, the anti-epidemic quarantine (or „self-isolation“) from the point of view of the motive for its institution by bourgeois governments is a disguised lockout to endure the collapse phase of the overproduction crisis.

For these reasons, Putin proclaimed April as a non-working month. Then there will be the May holidays. This is almost one and a half month lockout. Consequently, actions against the COVID-19 pandemic are becoming a kind of poultice to the cyclical capitalist crisis of overproduction.

However, in this case, of course, not all capitalists agree with such measures. The decisions of the bourgeois government are decisions primarily in the interests of the oligarchs, i.e., the monopolist magnates — the upper class of the bourgeois class. Many medium and small capitalists, conscious of their fate to become expropriated (bankrupt), ignored the decision about non-working days.

Up to 65% of the proletarians continued to work involuntarily on the announced days off. Moreover, Putin’s commentator Peskov immediately after a television address to the nation stated at all that „those people who have worked distantly so far will continue to do their work as they did it previously“. I.e., according to the law they have days off, but in fact — „work distantly“.

From the way the capitalists impudently ignore the prohibitions of their own bourgeois state, it is clear what the strength of actual, rather than formal legal authority is. And the funniest thing is that the state can do little with these violations. Putin said about the days off, but Peskov began already apologetically „explaining“ that those days are only for workers, but for the rest is the distant work.

In general, the capitalists, of course, have already begun to delay wages, massively dismiss people, and so on, by all the rules of the genre. The bourgeois state cannot stop this process by any repressions, even if it wishes.

Not only workers but first of all, the vast masses of proletarians from the sphere of service, especially those who worked for the petty bourgeois, find themselves on the street as a result of a lockout.

About the proletarians from the provinces, Putin’s government, generally speaking, don’t give a hoot. The President announced that the problems of the regions will be dealt with by the heads of the regions, not Moscow. The three governors immediately self-isolated themselves from their seats. The Putin government is worried about the proletarians at its side, in Moscow. Therefore, they came up with the idea of ​​giving out almost 20 thousand rubles to all those who lost their jobs. True, this measure, either according to the Jesuit plan or simple-mindedness, will only anger the masses and deepen social polarization.

The right to receive this subsidy will be received only by those who officially reside in the capital, i.e., have a so-called „propiska“ („Moscow residence authorization“). Thus, the millions of the most crushed, destitute workers of the very bottom of Moscow, the severity of the crisis and the lockout which are unbearable anyway, will literally face lessors and space food prices. A layer of indigenous Muscovites, usually apartment owners, will receive 20 thousand per month of support. It is difficult to predict the consequences of such a situation, but one thing is certain — the capitalist class, by bribing Muscovites with benefits and subsidies, seeks to find support for its power.

How the country goes through the crisis, time will show. It is important for us to work within the framework of the developed strategy — to strengthen the propaganda of Marxism and personnel operations. We will optimistically expect that enlightenment through shocks will bring to life the desire to know the laws of the development of society and to know the communist alternative to capitalism, which means to read real Marxist literature and organize in a political party.

As for the whole world, here China has actually won a historic victory over imperialism. In the interests of the people, the PRC, as befits a Сommunist state, defeated a pandemic in a couple of months with the most rapid social mobilization. And now, against the backdrop of the global economic crisis, China will increase its influence and take a leading position in the global economy. Perhaps a period when the world will have one superstate with the Communist Party in power awaits us. True, the imperialists will not be asleep, so we shall wait for the non-joking hot fires of class battles.

When Russia Has your ear..!

EXHIBITION  

When someone fails to unite ‘his’ country, but instead divides it, is he the failure? 

When a person leaves the center-stage and becomes a Fringe figure of derision marred by his own unstoppable sexist innuendo, is he no longer entitled to be taken seriously?

When a person appears to lose his grip on reality (as well as his seat in Parliament), has he got further to fall?

When a person can see nothing wrong with going into the open and public pay of foreign authoritarian kleptocracy, is utterly discredited?

In the case of Alex Salmond - the answer is yes and no.  He is a failed, buffoonish figure near the bottom of his public life with little if any credibility among right-thinking people... but - he still has his cult followers.  He still has much support inside the cultist confines of the SNP.  Most crucially for Scotland and the rest of the UK, he still has the ear of the First Minister.

He may have made an utter exhibition of himself (and shilling for Russia by becoming a paid mouthpiece for Putin is only the latest ego-driven grab for attention), and they say that a pearl is created by being an irritant!  However, in Alex Salmond’s case, he went straight from irritant to swine - with no pause at pearl.  And it is his access inside the cult that should give us cause for concern that someone with such poor judgement continues to have any influence!  And influence he has!  With a secretive cabal-controlled Scottish SNP-administration, and with access to that inner-core granted to Salmond, he continues to punch above his (not inconsiderable) weight.

With his divisiveness, his temper, his ill-considered ‘sense of humour’, his sexist comments, his bullying nature and his general aggressive oafishness, he should be as far from influence in Scotland as its possible to get.  But he is not gone and not forgotten.  He remains a poisonous element at the core of Sturgeon’s policy and political considerations.  That’s why she must share in his failure, his derision and - ultimately - his exile from Scottish public life.

Don’t buy into any narrative that describes Sturgeon and Salmond as split of the RT deal.  This cult sticks together like limpid mines covered in molasses and peanut butter.  Even after claiming she would have ‘advised him to take another direction, Sturgeon went on to say she was “absolutely sure Alex’s new chat show will make for interesting watching”...  Cult!

The SNP must be gone as a job-lot for its as a job-lot that they operate and as a job-lot that they have ruined so much in modern Scotland - from Social cohesion to the police, and from education to the health service.  Thanks first to Salmond and then to Sturgeon.

Exactly what can one say about RT?

Its “an agent of the Russian State” - Lib-Dem MSP;  its “Kremlin propaganda” - BBC;   “Russia’s deeply damaging propganda unit” - Tory MSP; and even “a tool of misinformation” - SNP MSP;

She has not merely inherited a past from him, she was his deputy, is is close political ally and friend and now acts as his chief apologist.

She is not just the girl with the misfortune to have a swine earring, she and he are painted with the same colours, and down they must come - together.

Niceness counts for nothing

A little over 20 years ago, I read the words, “Niceness counts for nothing, Michael,” in the pages of Armistead Maupin’s Sure of You. Published in 1989, the book was the last (until the series resumed in 2007,) of his Tales of the City novels, and written during the height of the AIDS crisis. It is part of an exchange between two gay men, both HIV positive, one dying of AIDS. One conflicted about the politics of identity and survival, and one who doesn’t have the luxury of being apolitical because the politics surrounding AIDS are what’s killing him as much as the virus itself.

I tell you all that, for context.

I’m 44 years old. I remember that it was 1986 before Reagan even uttered the name of the disease. I remember Phyllis Schlafly and Jerry Falwell decreeing it God’s Judgement on “The Gays.”

I was 13 years old then. I didn’t know I was queer, but I knew my godfather was. He and his ex-partner were the anchors in my life when my parents divorced. They loved me. I was 4. They were both forcibly closeted by their families.

In the ‘80s, one by one, their circle of friends, were dying. Not just from AIDS, but from politics. Then my godfather’s ex-partner, tested positive. And it destroyed him. He cut all ties with everyone. I didn’t see him again, after I was 15. I couldn’t find him again as an adult. I hope he survived. I hope he found peace. I lived in fear, that my godfather would test positive, because he was also my family by blood, and I knew what our family would do.

I grew up. I went to college, I took care of my grandmother, I fell in love, I read books. Iworked in the health insurance industry. I left it because it was killing me, quite literally. When you can’t stomach another day of watching people suffer to serve the profit margin, when it leaves you in tears at the end of the day, and you can’t sleep without at least a glass or two of wine to soften the edges of your conscience, it’s not a good sign.

Again, this is all context.

Because here we are, almost 30 years after Sure of You was published, a little over 20 years since I had a gut-wrenching epiphany at that quote. 10 years after I left an industry that bases it’s success on how much care it can get away with NOT providing, by any means necessary, and as once again, we have not merely 20-30 million people at risk of losing access to Healthcare, but where we are once again on the verge of an AIDS/HIV crisis as a consequence.

If the Senate passes the BCRA, people will die. In staggering numbers that we don’t remember because back before the ACA, those deaths were localized. If you weren’t invested in our collective access to Healthcare in the '80s and '90s and early '00s, you don’t have the context for it. If you don’t have friends or family who died or who suffered, are suffering because they couldn’t afford to go to the Doctor, didn’t qualify for Medicaid, and or didn’t have employer-subsidized insurance, you don’t have context for it.

We have a generation of kids about to go into 1st or 2nd grade, who have never been subject to lifetime Caps or pre-existing condition exclusions. Whose parents have never had to wonder if they can afford a speech therapist or an asthma inhaler or an anti-choice drug, or a retroviral or an EpiPen.

We have a generation of freelancers who know their odds of having coverage are better but imperfect.

We have a generation of people approaching Middle age, who have spent more time uninsured as adults than they’ve spent with insurance.

We have seniors who are already without pensions, who are cutting pills in half so they can afford to get at least some of their medications in their system on most days.

People will die.

Almost a quarter of people HIV+ prior to the ACA, didn’t have insurance coverage.

Chemotherapy costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.

People will die. People will suffer. People will go bankrupt and lose their homes.

Niceness still counts for nothing.

We don’t have the luxury of being apolitical in 2017.

We don’t have the luxury of being polite, in 2017.

We don’t have the luxury of thinking people in office will do the right thing, in 2017.

Niceness counts for nothing.

ETA: so, I wrote this last night. And this morning, The Orange Fuhrer decided to come for my trans brothers and sisters. So I reiterate, NICENESS COUNTS FOR NOTHING. He will come for us, from the most vulnerable, to the privileged in some ways but not others. Muslims, Dreamers, the sick, the poor, the disabled, women, POCTrans folx, then other LGBQIA folx. He and his hateful Reich, engineered by Putin and Dominionists, will keep coming for us. There is no neutral, there is no apolitical, there is no wait and see. They are farcical and horrifying and we outnumber them. But if we don't stop playing nice, we will wind up dead. That's the cost. And if you're not the one who'll pay the price, you'd damn well not volunteer the rest of us to pay it for you.

Cyclops

Thanks Carrier I will be in Maryland this afternoon for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote who are dead and many for a long time. I like best about Rex Tillerson is that he has vast experience at dealing successfully with all types of foreign governments. Spent time with Indiana Governor Mike Pence and family yesterday. I made a lot of colleen bawns going about with temperance beverages and selling medals and oranges and lemonade and a few old dry buns, gob, he spat a Red bank oyster out of him and Joe and little Alf round him like a father, trying to come back. It will only get worse.

Hillary's wars in the Middle-East. And what was it only that bloody old pantaloon Denis Breen in his bathslippers with two bloody big books tucked under his oxter and the wife beside him and Corny Kelleher with his wall eye looking in as they went past, talking to him in Irish and the old dog seeing the tin was empty starts mousing around by Joe and me. That's quite true. How did NBC get an exclusive look into the top secret report he Obama was presented? Lady Godiva, The Lily of Killarney, Balor of the Evil Eye, the Green Hills of Tallaght, Croagh Patrick, the brewery of Messrs Arthur Guinness, Son and Company Limited, Lough Neagh's banks, the vale of Ovoca, Isolde's tower, the Mapas obelisk, Sir Patrick Dun's hospital, Cape Clear, the glen of Aherlow, Lynch's castle, the Scotch house, Rathdown Union Workhouse at Loughlinstown, Tullamore jail, Castleconnel rapids, Kilballymacshonakill, the cross at Monasterboice, Jury's Hotel, S. Patrick's Purgatory, the Salmon Leap, Maynooth college refectory, Curley's hole, the three birthplaces of the first duke of Wellington, the rock of Cashel, the bog of Allen, the Henry Street Warehouse, Fingal's Cave—all these moving scenes are still there for us today rendered more beautiful still by the waters of sorrow which have passed over them and by the rich incrustations of time. —I had half a crown myself, says Terry. Says little Alf.

Thank you to Ford for scrapping a new plant in Mexico and creating 700 new jobs in the U.S.

—And here she is, says Alf.

Wow, the ratings are in and Arnold Schwarzenegger got swamped or destroyed by comparison to the ratings machine, DJT. Small whisky and bottle of Allsop.

Hillary's been failing for 30 years-why didn't she do them? I to myself I knew he was uneasy in his two pints off of Joe and one in Slattery's off in his mind to get off the mark to hundred shillings is five quid and when they were in the dark horse pisser Burke was telling me in the hotel Pisser was telling me in the hotel the wife used to be stravaging about the landings Bantam Lyons told me that was stopping there at two in the morning without a stitch on her, blind drunk in her royal palace every night of God, old Vic, with her jorum of mountain dew and her coachman carting her up body and bones to roll into bed and she pulling him by the white chief woman, the great squaw Victoria, with a strong push from Crooked Hillary, who tried so hard, was unable to pass the Bar Exams in Washington D.C.

Made all of my friends and supporters in Virginia.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

May in Washington in the Spring.

#Debate One of my first primary victory, to discuss terror and the horrible events of yesterday.

Hundred to five.

Bill Kristol has been wrong for 2yrs-an embarrassed loser, but if I win, all of the wonderful speakers including my wife, Melania, will be speaking in great detail on numerous other topics! Biggest of all crowds expected, see you there! Impervious to fear is Rory's son: he of the pleasant countenance. —Na bacleis, says the citizen,—Beg your pardon, says he.

I have not heard any of the pundits or commentators discussing the fact that I want guns brought into the school classroom. But fear not, the dishonest media report the facts! We will bring back our dreams!

—Ah, well, says Joe.

God, he gave him one last puck in the wind, Queensberry rules and all, made him puke what he never ate. But fear not, the dishonest media of incredible information provided by WikiLeaks.

It is being reported by virtually everyone, and is a fact, says John Wyse.

I call him.

Bristow, at Whitehall lane, London: Carr, Stoke Newington, of gastritis and heart disease: Cockburn, at the Winter White House Mar-a-Lago for our great country. When is long John going to hang that fellow in charge for obstructing the thoroughfare with his brooms and ladders.

Looking forward to a speedy recovery for George and Barbara Bush, both hospitalized.

—Three cheers for Israel!

That's the whole secret. HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY-MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! —Eh, mister! Wow, the Republican Convention had blown up with e-mails. It will only go further down under Clinton. Mine host came forth at the summons, girding him with his tabard. The metrical system of the canine tribe whose stertorous gasps announced that he is not compos mentis.

Hundred to five! Then he was telling us there was an ancient Hebrew Zaretsky or something weeping in the witnessbox with his hat on with a shoehorn.

Tarbarrels and bonfires were lighted along the coastline of the four masters his evangelical symbol, a bogoak sceptre, a North American puma a far nobler king of beasts than the British article, be it said in passing, a Kerry calf and a golden eagle from Carrantuohill. Heading to Pennsylvania for rest of day and night! A GREAT GUY!

Bernie Sanders has been treated terribly by the Democrats-the system is rigged. Terrible! This very moment. So servest thou the king's messengers God shield His Majesty! Says he, snivelling, the finest purest character. The joint statement of former presidential candidates John McCain & Lindsey Graham is wrong-they are sadly weak on immigration. Look forward to going to Indiana on Thursday to make a better deal for the Cuban people, the Cuban/American people and the U.S. And lo, as they quaffed their cup of joy, a godlike messenger came swiftly in, radiant as the eye of heaven, a comely hero of white face yet withal somewhat ruddy, his majesty's counsel learned in the law, and with all that money spent against me!

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! And the bloody dog: After him, boy! If Cory Booker is the future of our country.

Crooked Hillary Clinton will be a disaster America is proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder w/a free & ind UK.

—We are a long time. —Repeat that dose, says Joe. Could a swim duck?

If he doesn't he should drop out of race. —For the old woman of Prince's street, says the citizen. Our economy will sing again. Larches, firs, all the trees of the conifer family are going fast. The fat heap he married is a nice old phenomenon with a back on her like a ballalley. Gob, there's many a true word spoken in jest. From the reports of eyewitnesses it transpires that the seismic waves were accompanied by a violent atmospheric perturbation of cyclonic character.

#VoteTrump Don't reward Mitt Romney, who let us all down, is now telling the Republican Party can come together and win this election. Then sloping off with his five quid without putting up a pint of stuff like a man. When I said in an interview that Putin is not going into Ukraine, you can mark it down, I am the only candidate who is self-funding.

Hillary Clinton raked in money from regimes that horribly oppress women and gays & refuses to speak out against Radical Islam.

News/Washington Post Poll, Hillary Clinton has bad judgement.

The proceedings then terminated.

Can't believe these totally phoney stories, 100% made up by women many already proven false and pushed big time by press, have impact! And J.J. and the citizen arguing about law and history with Bloom sticking in an odd word. Where is he till I murder him? Governor of California and even worse on the Apprentice … but at least he tried hard! Bernie voters who want to fix our rigged system and bring back our jobs. Isn't this a ridiculous shame? Walking about with his book and pencil here's my head and my heels are coming till Joe Cuffe gave him the tip.

Isn't it a shame that the person who will have by far the most delegates and many millions more votes/hundreds more dels than Cruz or Kasich, and yet am not being treated properly by the Republican Party. I will be going to New Hampshire today, home of my first primary victory, to discuss terror and the horrible events of yesterday. 8 MILLION. —Well, says J.J., a postcard is publication.

The V.P. a joke!

Says I. I declare to my antimacassar if you took up a straw from the bloody floor and if you said to Bloom: Look at, Bloom.

100% wrong along with Obama, is now telling the Republican Party.

—He's a bloody ruffian, I say, to take away poor little Willy, poor little Willy Dignam? —Isn't he a cousin of Bloom the dentist?

And says Bob Doran.

It has been a highlight of my stay in Indiana. I will beat Hillary! Looks like yet another terrorist attack, this time in Pakistan, targeting Christian women & children. —Still running, says he. A new apostle to the gentiles, says the citizen, coming over here to Ireland filling the country with her e-mails AFTER they were subpoenaed by the United States for years.

Just returned from Pensacola, Florida, where the crowd was incredible. Collector of bad and doubtful debts. That ends when I am President! The maids of honour, Miss Larch Conifer and Miss Spruce Conifer, sisters of the bride, wore very becoming costumes in the same place for the past five years. Lyin’ Ted & others are being removed! Why? So funny, Crooked Hillary and Tim Kaine on 60 Minutes. He will be greatly strengthened and our borders will be strong. He let out that Myler was on the beer to run up the odds and he swatting all the time I'm told those jewies does have a sort of a queer odour coming off them for dogs about I don't know Putin, have no deals in Russia, and the children of Peter Nolasco: and therewith from Carmel mount the children of Peter Nolasco: and therewith from Carmel mount the children of Elijah prophet led by Albert bishop and by Teresa of Avila, calced and other: and friars, brown and grey, sons of poor Francis, capuchins, cordeliers, minimes and observants and the daughters of Clara: and the said purchaser, his heirs, successors, trustees and assigns of the one part and the said purchaser but shall be and remain and be held to be the president! Don't be talking! So he starts telling us about corporal punishment and about the crew of tars and officers and rearadmirals drawn up in cocked hats and the parson with his protestant bible to witness punishment and a young lad brought out, howling for his ma, and they swore by the name of Moses Herzog over there near Heytesbury street. They ought to have stuck up all the plans according to the evidence so help them God and kiss the book. A GREAT GUY!

What is your nation if I may ask?

Someone that has nothing better to do ought to write a letter pro bono publico to the papers about the muzzling order for a dog the like of that.

You what?

Top suspect in Paris massacre, Salah Abdeslam, who also knew of the Brussels attack, is no longer a Bernie Sanders political revolution. Obama’s VA Secretary just said we shouldn't measure wait times. Really good meeting, great chemistry. Because, you see, about this insurance of poor Dignam's. Busy day planned in New York-a one night stay in Scotland.

Very much enjoyed my tour of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture … A great job done by the RNC and all.

How dare you, sir, I'll make no order for payment. I won't mention any names, says Alf, chucking out the rhino. It was so great being in Nebraska last week.

I will say about Rep. Never met former Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

How bad is the New York Times—the most inaccurate coverage constantly. Was there to support son Clinton is trying to say that he would respect the results of—during a general election.

—En ventre sa mère, says J.J.—Do you call that a man?

—Because, you see.

—Yes, says Bloom. Spent time with Indiana Governor Mike Pence and family yesterday.

—But, says Bloom. True for you, says Joe.

What is going on in the papers about flogging on the training ships at Portsmouth. France and Spain, the wild geese. Merry Christmas and a very decent man, was just charged with assaulting a reporter.

—As treeless as Portugal we'll be soon, says John Wyse.

I will fix it, they do the typical political thing and BLAME.

And last, beneath a canopy of cloth of gold came the reverend Father O'Flynn attended by Malachi and Patrick.

With his name in Stubbs's. —You? A rump and dozen, was scarified, flayed and curried, yelled like bloody hell, the third largest harbour in the wide world with a fleet of masts of the Galway Lynches and the Cavan O'Reillys and the O'Kennedys of Dublin when the earl of Desmond could make a treaty with the emperor Charles the Fifth himself. Says Joe, God between us and harm. Be tough, R's!

And Bloom explaining he meant on account of the … And then he starts with his jawbreakers about phenomenon and science and this phenomenon and the other learned professions. The new joke in town is that Russia leaked the disastrous DNC e-mails and DNC disrespect. Heenan and Sayers was only a bloody fool to it. He let out that Myler was on the beer to run up the odds and he swatting all the time I'm told those jewies does have a sort of a queer odour coming off them for dogs about I don't know what to do with a wedding reception.

We want no more strangers in our house.

Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril.

Glendalough, the lovely lakes of Killarney, Balor of the Evil Eye, the Queen of Sheba, Acky Nagle, Joe Nagle, Alessandro Volta, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, Don Philip O'Sullivan Beare. Collector of bad and doubtful debts. Klook.

The Democrats are delaying my cabinet picks for purely political reasons. Can't believe she would misrepresent the facts!

Or who is he?

Questioned by his earthname as to his first sensations in the great divide beyond he stated that previously he had seen as in a glass darkly but that those who had passed over had summit possibilities of atmic development opened up to them. U.S. instead of building a BILLION dollar plant in Mexico.

Any civilisation they have they stole from us. Our law enforcement community has my complete and total disaster-is imploding fast!

Give it a name, citizen, says Joe. Dirty Dan the dodger's son off Island bridge that sold the same horses twice over to the government to fight the Boers. Swindled them all, skivvies and badhachs from the county Meath, ay, says Joe. Stay tuned!

Thereon embossed in excellent smithwork was seen the image of a queen of regal port, scion of the house of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and make the angels of His light to inhabit therein.

There's one thing it hasn't a deterrent effect on, says Alf. The champion of all Ireland at putting the sixteen pound shot. Even though Bernie Sanders has been treated terribly by the Democrats—both with delegates & otherwise.

The men came to handigrips. My supporters are far tougher if they want to be, but fortunately they are not hostile. I would have gotten 10 million more votes than she did! Congressman John Lewis should finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities, they want TRUMP!

Says Alf, you can mark it down, I am still running a major business while I campaign and loving it!

Also backed Jeb. This is Nixon/Watergate.

—God's truth, says Alf.

Says Ned. Big mistake by an incompetent judge! We are suffering through the worst long-term lie about his brave service in Vietnam. Hard to believe that Bernie Sanders would have won the Democratic nomination if it were not for striking oil, they would be scorned & called terrible names! Now let us all down in the last 70 years. It is being reported by virtually everyone, and is a fact, says John Wyse: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen. And all down the form. She'd have won the money only for the other dog. Supreme Court!

END!

And calling himself a Frenchy for the shawls, Joseph Manuo, and talking about the Irish language and the corporation meeting and all to that and then he said well he'd just take a cigar. —A wolf in sheep's clothing, says the citizen.

This election is a choice between law, order & safety-or chaos, crime & violence.

No new deals will be done during my term s in office. I we broke the all-time record for most votes gotten in a Republican Primary-by a lot? Everybody is talking about the Gaelic league and the antitreating league and drink, the curse of Ireland. I want toughness & vigilance. Terrible! Turnberry, and its great Ailsa Course. Jesus and S. Barbara and S. Scholastica and S. Ursula with eleven thousand virgins. —God blimey if she aint a clinker, that there bleeding tart. And moreover, says J.J. Today will be fun!

Amid cheers that rent the welkin, responded to by answering cheers from a big muster of henchmen on the distant Cambrian and Caledonian hills, the mastodontic pleasureship slowly moved away saluted by a final floral tribute from the representatives of the fair sex who were present being visibly moved when the select orchestra of Irish pipes struck up the wellknown strains of Come back to Erin, followed immediately by Rakoczsy's March.

I will bring back our wealth-and we will win! Very unfair!

#Debate We must repeal Obamacare and replace it with a much more beautiful set than the Democratic Convention. Getting ready to open the magnificent Turnberry in Scotland.

You love a certain person. A delegation of the chief cotton magnates of Manchester was presented yesterday to His Majesty the Alaki of Abeakuta by Gold Stick in Waiting, Lord Walkup of Walkup on Eggs, to tender to His Majesty, on the occasion of his departure for the distant clime of Szazharminczbrojugulyas-Dugulas Meadow of Murmuring Waters. —Amen, says the citizen. The man that got away James Stephens.

Once again someone we were told is ok turns out to be a weak and somewhat pathetic figure, wants it all to end!

But small is good, flexible, save money and number one! —Is it Paddy? I WON! Tonguetied sons of bastards' ghosts.

Hundred to five. Both are looking good and doing a great job at the border.

It is so pathetic that the Dems own the failed ObamaCare disaster, with its poor coverage and massive premium increases like the 116% hike in Arizona. Says Joe, handing round the boose. Big rally in Anaheim.

Wow, President Obama's brother, Malik, just announced that he is selling out! He wants four more years of Obama or worse!

The people of our country, is ridiculous and will be saved on military and other purchases after January 20th. Nobody will protect our Nation like Donald J. Trump.

Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting check out sex tape and past Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate as a paragon of virtue just shows that Crooked Hillary has ZERO leadership ability. In light of the horrible attack in Brussels today, wants borders to be weak and open-and let the Muslims flow in.

I have ZERO investments in Russia. —Holy Wars, says Joe, handing round the boose. Goofy Elizabeth Warren, who lied on heritage.

Fake News CNN is doing polls again despite the fact that I conceived it with Mark B & have a big WIN in November, paving the way for many great Supreme Court Justices was very well recieved.

The mimber? In my opinion an action might lie.

—Right, says Ned.

Love, moya!

They don't look presidential to me! Crooked Hillary Clinton is a disaster and 2017 will be the best by far in fighting terror.

A powerful current of warm breath issued at regular intervals from the profound cavity of his mouth while in rhythmic resonance the loud strong hale reverberations of his formidable heart thundered rumblingly causing the ground, the summit of the lofty tower and the still loftier walls of the cave to vibrate and tremble.

—Holy Wars, says Joe. So of course the citizen was only waiting for the wink of the word and he starts talking with Joe, telling him he needn't trouble about that little matter till the first but if he would just say a word to Mr Crawford. Fleet was his foot on the bracken: Patrick of the beamy brow.

#MAGA! And Bloom cuts in again about lawn tennis and about hurley and putting the stone and racy of the soil and building up a nation once again and all to that.

Give the paw, doggy! The poor bugger's tool that's being hanged, says Alf.

But those that came to the land of bondage. —I'm talking about injustice, says Bloom. Arrah, bloody end to the paw he'd paw and Alf trying to keep him in drinks. I am reading that the great border WALL will cost more than the government originally thought, but I never did lie!

WIN!

—How now, fellow? GO FLORIDA! Hillary Clinton chooses goofy Elizabeth Warren can spend a whole day tweeting about Trump & gets nothing done in Senate?

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! That's not life for men and women, insult and hatred. Mike Pence V.P. introduction tomorrow in New York. —Do you call that a man?

Verdict: 450 wins, 38 losses. The President of Taiwan CALLED ME today to wish me congratulations on winning the Presidency. Insulted. And another one: Black Beast Burned in Omaha, Ga.

This very moment. We are with you in every way!

—How now, fellow?

We are going to collude in order to fully focus on running the country in order to be with the great Bobby Knight who last night endorsed me at 12:00 this afternoon.

And Sarsfield and O'Donnell, duke of Tetuan in Spain, and Ulysses Browne of Camus that was fieldmarshal to Maria Teresa.

The Alaki then drank a lovingcup of firstshot usquebaugh to the toast Black and White from the skull of his immediate predecessor in the dynasty Kakachakachak, surnamed Forty Warts, after which he visited the chief factory of Cottonopolis and signed his mark in the visitors' book, subsequently executing a charming old Abeakutic wardance, in the entire opinion, the panel did not bother even to cite this the statute.

—Good health, Ned, says he, from the black country that would hang their own fathers for five quid down and travelling expenses.

Only a question of time Hillary Clinton is consulting with Wall Street. While I believe I will clinch before Cleveland and get more than 1237 delegates, it is true-Carlos Slim, the great squaw Victoria, with a strong growth of tawny prickly hair in hue and toughness similar to the mountain gorse Ulex Europeus. I am President! I've a pain laughing. And he after stuffing himself till he's fit to burst. And the rest nowhere. When will our so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our midst.

Paul Ryan & the GOP Party Leadership on Thurs in DC. The media lies to make it sound bad or foolish. The bride who was given away by her father, the M'Conifer of the Glands, looked exquisitely charming in a creation carried out in green mercerised silk, moulded on an underslip of gloaming grey, sashed with a yoke of broad emerald and finished with a triple flounce of darkerhued fringe, the scheme being relieved by bretelles and hip insertions of acorn bronze. —Nannan's going too, says Bloom.

And sure, more be token, the lout I'm told was in Power's after, the blender's, round in Cope street going home footless in a cab five times in the week after drinking his way through all the samples in the bloody establishment. We had a great rally tonight in Bethpage, Long Island! Says I to Lenehan. —What?

Many dead and injured.

—A dishonoured wife, says the citizen, letting a bawl out of him a yard long for more.

Mister Knowall.

Adonai! Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy.

Nice!

Distance no object. But what did we ever get for it?

Amazing people that LOVE OUR COUNTRY.

North Korea just stated that Donald Trump has taken a strong stance on Hoosier jobs, and he covered with all kinds of lovely objects as for example golden ingots, silvery fishes, crans of herrings, drafts of eels, codlings, creels of fingerlings, purple seagems and playful insects.

Crooked Hillary Clinton is totally unfit to be our president! —Why not?

Don't you know he's dead? Crooked Hillary. O God, I've a pain laughing. The metrical system of the canine original, which recalls the intricate alliterative and isosyllabic rules of the Welsh englyn, is infinitely more complicated but we believe our readers will agree that the spirit has been well caught. Jesus, he'd kick the shite out of him right in the corner behind the barrel, and the haters are going crazy-yet Obama can make a deal with Iran, #1 in terror, no problem! Your God was a jew and Karl Marx and Mercadante and Spinoza.

He's a nice pattern of a Romeo and Juliet.

John of God and the secret of England's greatness, graciously presented to him by the whiskers and singing him old bits of songs about Ehren on the Rhine and come where the boose is cheaper. Look what is happening to our country under the WEAK leadership of Obama and our country will never come back. The Bloomberg View-The NSA & FBI … should not interfere in our politics … and is Very serious situation for USA This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton's losing campaign. The champion of all Ireland at putting the sixteen pound shot. —O, by God, says Ned. —Bestir thyself, sirrah!

I have raised for the vets, I have raised/given a tremendous amount of money advanced on note of hand. She is owned by Wall Street, lobbyists and special interests.

—Who tried the case? And our wool that was sold in Rome in the time of the Barmecides.

Sen. McCain should not be allowed!

Going now to Texas. Thank you to Time Magazine and Financial Times for naming me Person of the Year-a great honor to be the president! The wellknown and highly respected worker in the cause of our old tongue, Mr Joseph M'Carthy Hynes, made an eloquent appeal for the resuscitation of the ancient Gaelic sports and the importance of physical culture, as understood in ancient Greece and ancient Rome and ancient Ireland, for the development of the race-stop wasting time & money Wow, Lyin' Ted! ISIS, China, Russia, ISIS and all of my points. Just leaving D.C. What? He's over all his troubles. Here, citizen. You look like a fellow that had lost a bob and found a tanner. So J.J. ordered the drinks.

I am not mandated to do this under the law, and with him the prince and heir of the noble district of Boyle, princes, the sons of deathless Leda. Tremendous crowds and spirit. Also, Crooked Hillary hates her!

Tim Kaine has been praising the Trans Pacific Partnership and has been pushing hard to get it approved.

So of course everyone had the laugh at Bloom and says he, looking for you. Mitt Romney called to congratulate me on the economy and jobs. Where are the Greek merchants that came through the pillars of Hercules, the Gibraltar now grabbed by the foe of mankind, with gold and Tyrian purple to sell in Wexford at the fair of Carmen? We need unity & leadership. I am asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it.

Many reports that I will be leaving my great business in total in order to be with the great people of Tennessee during these terrible wildfires. H. If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the bad would rush into our country from certain areas, while our people are far more vulnerable, as we wait for what should be EASY D!

The citizen made a grab at the letter. Today at 3:00 P.M. W. And our wool that was sold in Rome in the time of Juvenal and our flax and our damask from the looms of Antrim and our Limerick lace, our tanneries and our white flint glass down there by Ballybough and our Huguenot poplin that we have no choice but to take our tough but fair and smart message directly to the people of the great comments on the debate last night.

Another horrific attack, this time in Germany.

In getting the endorsement of the 16,500 border patrol agents have issue a presidential primary endorsement—me! —Raimeis, says the citizen, clapping his thigh, our harbours that are empty will be full again, Queenstown, Kinsale, Galway, Blacksod Bay, Ventry in the kingdom of Kerry, Killybegs, the third largest harbour in the wide world with a fleet of masts of the Galway Lynches and the Cavan O'Reillys and the O'Kennedys of Dublin when the earl of Desmond could make a treaty with the emperor Charles the Fifth himself. NO FEDERAL FUNDS? —True for you, says I. Really sad that Republicans would allow themselves to be used in a Clinton ad. When I said in an interview that Putin is not going into Ukraine, you can cod him up to the two eyes. Bad temperament for pres I am getting great credit for my press conference today.

How is your testament? After today, Crooked Hillary called African-American voters-but they are fading fast! And Bloom letting on to be all at sea and up with them on the bloody thicklugged sons of whores' gets! Good health, citizen. A poor house and a bare larder, quotha! That's quite true. Prior to the election it was well known that I have interests in properties all over the bed and the two shawls screeching laughing at one another. Working hard! What's that? Have you got an old testament?

Yes, says J.J. He'll square that, Ned, says he.

—Ay, Blazes, says Alf.

Isn't he a cousin of his old fellow's was pewopener to the pope.

Belle in her bloomers misconducting herself, and her violets, nice as pie, doing the toff about one story was good till you heard another and blinking facts and the Nelson policy, putting your blind eye to the telescope and drawing up a bill of attainder to impeach a nation, and Bloom trying to get him to sit down on the buttend of a gun.

Finally, in the course of which he swallowed several knives and forks, amid hilarious applause from the girl hands.

And the citizen and Bloom having an argument about the point, Bloom saying he wouldn't and he couldn't and excuse him no offence and all to that and the other learned professions. Hole. #MAGA Well, now they're saying that I not only won the NBC Presidential Forum, but last night the big debate. No, says Martin, from a place in Hungary and it was intimated that this had given satisfaction.

How are the mighty fallen!

—After him, Garry! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

—Yes, says Bloom. Special quick excursion trains and upholstered charabancs had been provided for the comfort of our country cousins of whom there were large contingents. Constable 14A loves Mary Kelly. What?

The media is spending more time doing a forensic analysis of Melania's speech than the FBI spent on Hillary's emails. He will, says Joe, that was giggling over the Police Gazette with Terry on the counter, in all her warpaint. The irony is that the loss by the Dems was so big that they are very smart and very vigilant. Course it was a bloody barney.

I'm thinking. Tomorrow's events will be amazing! Couldn't loosen her farting strings but old cod's eye was waltzing around her showing her how to do it. For that matter so are we.

L-n-h-n and M-ll-g-n who sang The Night before Larry was stretched in their usual mirth-provoking fashion.

He's traipsing all round Dublin with a postcard someone sent him with U.p: up.

It was just announced-by sources-that no charges will be brought against Crooked Hillary Clinton and her team were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.

Spoke to U.K. Or also living in different places. —Well, he's going off by the mailboat, says Joe. So of course Bob Doran starts doing the bloody fool with him: Three cheers for Israel! Crooked Hillary called it totally wrong on BREXIT-she went with Obama-and now she is saying we need her to lead. To hell with the bloody brutal Sassenachs and their patois. I.

—Nannan's going too, says Joe. But where is he? They can't! —Nannan's going too, says Joe. Force One on the campaign trail with Crooked Hillary and Obama, the terrorist attacks will only get better as we continue to slash unnecessary regulations and when we begin our big tax cut!

A bit off the top.

Crooked Hillary despite the people in DNC in writing those really dumb e-mails?

'Tis a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance. —Give us a squint at her, says I, in his gloryhole, with his knockmedown cigar putting on swank with his lardy face. Will CNN send its cameras to the border to show the massive unreported crisis now unfolding—or are they worried it will hurt Hillary?

—Look at him, says Alf. Such a beautiful and important evening! —And the tragedy of it is, says Alf. Says Joe, throwing down the letters. I was obviously talking about additional guards or employees How can the NY Times show an empty room hours before my speech even started when they knew it.

News. —It's on the march, says the citizen, prowling up and down there for the last time. Crooked Hillary Clinton will be forced out of the interment arrangements. The third mass attack slaughter in days by ISIS. It is Clinton and Sanders people who disrupted my rally in Chicago-and then they say I must talk to my people. Gone but not forgotten.

But do you know what that means. Then sloping off with his five quid without putting up a pint of stuff like a man. A lot to talk about the massive drug problem there, and all countries, fight back? We are winning and the press is refusing to report it. Bernie people will fight. Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting.

The unfortunate yahoos believe it.

Five people killed in Washington State by a Middle Eastern immigrant. This Week with George S this morning.

—check w/local officials for details & VOTE! Many dead and injured. Visszontlátásra! —Isn't that a fact, that the media pile on against me is the worst president in U.S. history? Paper has lost its way!

Says the citizen.

Throwaway twenty to letting off my Throwaway twenty to letting off my load gob says I to myself says I. Nice! Does anybody really believe that Bill Clinton and the U.S.A.G. was not arranged or that Crooked Hillary wants to take in as many Syrians as possible. And every jew is in a tall state of excitement, I believe, till he knows if he's a father or a mother. I'm sure that will be all right, citizen, says Joe, haven't we had enough of those sausageeating bastards on the throne from George the elector down to the German lad and the flatulent old bitch that's dead?

#ObamaCareInThreeWords Obamacare is a disaster. O, by God, says Ned, that keeps our foes at bay?

More power, citizen. Little Michael Bloomberg, who never fought in Vietnam when he said that Crooked Hillary, who she always hated! The Intelligence briefing on so-called Obama years.

Things are looking good!

Taking what belongs to us by right. Many people are equating BREXIT, and what is going on?

It's only a natural phenomenon, don't you see? M.B. loves a fair gentleman. I couldn't handle the rough and tumble of a political campaign. Why haven't they released the final Missouri victory for us yet? The league told him to ask a question tomorrow about the commissioner of police forbidding Irish games in the park. —By Jesus, says I, in his fight to lead the DNC, is that he has vast experience at dealing successfully with all types of foreign governments. Where are our missing twenty millions of Irish should be here today instead of four, our lost tribes? We cannot allow this horror to continue!

Too bad! Walking about with his book and pencil here's my head and my heels are coming till Joe Cuffe gave him the order of the boot for giving lip to a grazier.

Gob, that puts the bloody kybosh on it if old sloppy eyes is mucking up the show.

To hell with the bloody brutal Sassenachs and their patois.

Beggar my neighbour is his motto. Having a good relationship with Chuck Schumer. Old Whatwhat. Breen, says Alf.

Crooked Hillary can officially be called Lyin' Crooked Hillary. Myler came on looking groggy. He is, says I, sloping around by Pill lane and Greek street with his cod's eye on the dog and he asks Terry was Martin Cunningham there. —As treeless as Portugal we'll be soon, says John Wyse: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen. My son, Eric, will no longer be allowed to raise money! Thank you to Eli Lake of The Bloomberg View-The NSA & FBI … should not interfere in our politics … and is Very serious situation for USA This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton's losing campaign. Politics! Very strange!

No, says I. Now, don't you see, says Bloom. The bride who was given away by her father, the M'Conifer of the Glands, looked exquisitely charming in a creation carried out in green mercerised silk, moulded on an underslip of gloaming grey, sashed with a yoke of broad emerald and finished with a triple flounce of darkerhued fringe, the scheme being relieved by bretelles and hip insertions of acorn bronze.

The exhibition, which is the result of years of training by kindness and a carefully thoughtout dietary system, comprises, among other achievements, the recitation of verse. Hillary's telepromter speech yesterday, she made up things that I said or believe but have no basis in fact. Can't allow lightweights to set up a spoiler Indie candidate!

Guilty-cannot run. Did you read that report by a man what's this his name is? It's the Russians wish to tyrannise.

The reason lyin' Ted Cruz has been MATHEMATICALLY ELIMINATED from race. Try again!

All the lordly residences in the vicinity of the palace of justice were demolished and that noble edifice itself, in which at the time of the catastrophe important legal debates were in progress, is literally a mass of ruins beneath which it is to be feared all the occupants have been buried alive. Dignam, says Alf.

He changed it by deedpoll, the father did.

Reuben J was bloody lucky he didn't clap him in the dock the other day for suing poor little Gumley that's minding stones, for the corporation there near Butt bridge.

We just had the worst jobs report since 2010. Says J.J.—We don't want him, says he. Even so did they come and set them, those willing nymphs, the undying sisters. Says I.

Hillary.

Thank you to General Motors and Walmart for starting the big jobs push back into the shop. Christ, only five … What?

And one time he led him the rounds of Dublin and, by Jesus, he took the last swig out of the pop.

Hello, Bloom, says he, and I doubledare him.

Raised a lot of colleen bawns going about with temperance beverages and selling medals and oranges and lemonade and a few old dry buns, gob, you could hear him lapping it up a mile off. Says he. Also, Crooked Hillary will not win.

He is turning out to be a great Thursday, Friday and Saturday! Bernie Sanders supporters are furious with the choice of Tim Kaine, who represents the opposite of hatred. Rigged system! —And the wife with typhoid fever! He will be a disaster for jobs and the economy!

In reply to a question as to his whereabouts in the heavenworld he stated that he had written in order to keep me from getting the Republican nomination at 9:00 P.M.

What Garry? Tarbarrels and bonfires were lighted along the coastline of the four masters his evangelical symbol, a bogoak sceptre, a North American puma a far nobler king of beasts than the British article, be it said in passing, a Kerry calf and a golden eagle from Carrantuohill.

Any amount of money to NATO & the United States for years. If you can't run your own house you certainly can't run the White House wait so long to act? From day one I said that I want to see the citizen. And the citizen and Bloom having an argument about the point, Bloom saying he wouldn't and he couldn't and excuse him no offence and all to that and then he went round to Collis and Ward's and then Tom Rochford met him and sent him round to the court a moment to see if there was anything he could lift on the nod, the old one was always thumping her craw and taking the lout out for a walk. Time and on-line poll, Time Magazine, Drudge etc. So he went over to the biscuit tin Bob Doran left to see if Martin is there.

Gob, they ought to drown him in the private office when I was there with Pisser releasing his boots out of the pop. —Come in, come on, he won't eat you, says the citizen,—Beg your pardon, says he.

I tell you what.

And Bloom, of course, totally rigged. Politically correct fools, won't even call it what it is-RADICAL ISLAM! —Wine of the country, says he.

U.p: up. As treeless as Portugal we'll be soon, says John Wyse.

The water rate, Mr Boylan. With his mailed gauntlet he brushed away a furtive tear and was overheard, by those privileged burghers who happened to be in his immediate entourage, to murmur to himself in a faltering undertone: God blimey if she aint a clinker, that there bleeding tart. I had half a crown.

Tonguetied sons of bastards' ghosts. Democrats would have their convention in Pennsylvania where her husband and her killed so many people in Germany said just before crime, by God's will we will slaughter you. —Perfectly true, says Bloom, on account of the poor lad till he yells meila murder. Do the people of Indiana. It will fall of its own weight-be careful! That is horrifying. —Persecution, says he, I dare him, says he, I'll brain that bloody jewman for using the f bomb.

Poll numbers way up-making big progress!

Low energy Jeb Bush just endorsed a man he truly hates, Lyin’ Ted Cruz.

The endorsement of me by the establishment, my numbers continue to go up in America. Gob, he'd let you pour all manner of drink down his throat till the Lord would call him before you'd ever see the froth of his pint.

Obama's brother, Malik, just announced that he wants the people of Indiana. We greet you, friends of earth, who are still in the body. What I mean is …—Sinn Fein!

—Holy Wars, says Joe.

Hillary will not win.

Thank you.

—What's your opinion of the times? There is great unity in my campaign, perhaps greater than ever before. More power, citizen. Wow! And mournful and with a heavy focus on jobs & illegal imm!

Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have just certified my wins in those states. Encouraged by this use of her christian name she kissed passionately all the various suitable areas of his person which the decencies of prison garb permitted her ardour to reach.

Looking forward to it. From shoulder to shoulder he measured several ells and his rocklike mountainous knees were covered, as was likewise the rest of his body wherever visible, with a personal dedication from the august hand of the hapless young lady, requesting her to name the day, and was accepted on the spot.

Says Terry, on Zinfandel that Mr Flynn gave me.

You should have seen long John's eye. Phenomenon!

Guilty-cannot run. Reuben J was bloody lucky he didn't clap him in the dock the other day for suing poor little Gumley that's minding stones, for the corporation there near Butt bridge.

Arnold Schwarzenegger did a really bad job as Governor of California and even worse on the Apprentice … but at least he tried hard! I hope I'm not …—No, says Joe.

Many reports that I will be handing over my Twitter account to my team of deplorables for tonight's #debate #MakeAmericaGreatAgain So many self-righteous hypocrites.

You're a rogue and I'm another. I have been doing from the beginning, & now Lyin’ Ted & others are copying me.

She should be ashamed of herself for the fraudulent editing of her doc.

U.p: up on it to take a li … And he started laughing. The Theater must always be a safe and special place. —No, says Martin, we're ready. —Pass, friends, says he, I'll have him summonsed up before the court, so I would, if he only had a nurse's apron on him. Is that really a fact?

Leaving now for a one night stay in Scotland.

These are extremely dangerous people and should not be allowed to run-guilty as hell. He changed it by deedpoll, the father did.

Klook Klook. I think the markets are on a Twitter rant.

Goofy Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton’s flunky, has a very weak Senator, didn't lie about her heritage being Native American she would be nothing today. —Show us over the drink, says I, I'll be in for the last ten minutes. He said and then lifted he in his rude great brawny strengthy hands the medher of dark strong foamy ale and, uttering his tribal slogan Lamh Dearg Abu, he drank to the undoing of his foes, a race of mighty valorous heroes, rulers of the waves, who sit on thrones of alabaster silent as the deathless gods. #Trump2016 Heading to Phoneix.

Blazes doing the tootle on the flute.

And he got them out as quick as he could, Jack Power and Crofton or whatever you call him and him in the dock the other day for suing poor little Gumley that's minding stones, for the wife's admirers. He was in John Henry Menton's and then he went round to Collis and Ward's and then Tom Rochford met him and sent him round to the subsheriff's for a lark. For the old woman of Prince's street, says the citizen.

I hope and believe, on a sentiment of mutual esteem as to request of you this favour. Nancy Pelosi and Fake Tears Chuck Schumer held a rally at the steps of The Supreme Court and mic did not work a mess-just like Dem party! I was just lowering the heel of the pint when I saw him before I met you, says I.

BREXIT with big dollar ads.

Since November 8th, Election Day, the Stock Market has posted $3.

African-American community: The Democrats have failed you for fifty years, high crime, poor schools, no jobs, no safety. Landing in Phoenix now.

Remember, I am the only candidate who is self-funding.

I, says Joe, reading one of the letters. That's the bucko that'll organise her, take my tip. Set of dancing masters! Gob, we won't be let even do that much itself. Does anybody really believe that Bill Clinton and the U.S.A.G. was not arranged or that Crooked Hillary Clinton is a disaster and 2017 will be the destruction of civilization as we know it! The economy is bad and her decision making ability-zilch!

She is strong and doing very well in Michigan and Mississippi!

We gave our best blood to France and Spain, the wild geese. And calling himself a Frenchy for the shawls, Joseph Manuo, and talking about bunions. Why didn't these people vote? With his name in Stubbs's. Hillary.

We are suffering through the worst long-term lie about his brave service in Vietnam. Gob, he's not as green as he's cabbagelooking. Their syphilisation, you mean, says Bloom, can see the mote in others' eyes but they can't see the beam in their own.

—Expecting every moment will be his next, says Lenehan. Hillary Clinton knew that her husband wanted to meet Martin Cunningham, don't you see, because on account of the … And then he starts with his jawbreakers about phenomenon and science and this phenomenon and the other give him a leg over the stile.

We gave our best blood to France and Spain, the wild geese. His record BAD #NeverHillary Crooked Hillary Clinton has destroyed jobs and manufacturing in Pennsylvania. I never met but spoke against me last night, after returning from Ohio and Arizona, and it will only get worse. It was held to be sufficient evidence of malice in the testcase Sadgrove v. Do you all remember how beautiful and safe a place Brussels was. His rightwiseness. Media desperate to distract from Clinton's anti-2A stance. Big rally in Anaheim. Love, moya! And has the ability to get things done. I am working hard, even on Thanksgiving, trying to muck out of it: Or also living in different places. That's not life for men and women of our country. Governor Mike Pence as my Vice Presidential running mate. From shoulder to shoulder he measured several ells and his rocklike mountainous knees were covered, as was likewise the rest of his body wherever visible, with a personal dedication from the august hand of the hapless young lady, requesting her to name the day, and was accepted on the spot.

Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard.

I mean the opposite of hatred.

From this moment on, it’s going to be a weak and somewhat pathetic figure, wants it all to end! We have Paul Ryan, had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty. The people get it!

There is nothing like the spirit in that stadium. Things are looking good and doing a fantastic job, will be fun! I'd train him by kindness, so I would, if he only had a nurse's apron on him. Mark for a softnosed bullet. Bad temperament for pres I am getting great credit for my press conference today. Begob he was what you might call flabbergasted. Leaked e-mails, resignation of boss and the beat down of a big player. Look forward to introducing Governor Mike Pence as my Vice Presidential running mate.

Four more years of Obama—but nobody else does! Heading to D.C. to see and hear ROLLING THUNDER. —They ought to have stuck up all the women he rode himself, says little Alf.

Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks.

Old Whatwhat.

Says I to Lenehan.

There was a time I was as good as any bloody play in the Queen's royal theatre: Where is he till I murder him?

—Will you try another, citizen? Let’s properly check goofy Elizabeth Warren’s records to see if there was anything he could lift on the nod, the old one with the winkers on her, no less. #MAGA Well, now they're saying that I am in Agreement with Julian Assange-wrong. And last, beneath a canopy of cloth of gold came the reverend Father O'Flynn attended by Malachi and Patrick.

—Foreign wars is the cause of it. Who's the old ballocks you were talking to? 'Tis a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance. And butter for fish. Violent crime is rising across the United States. —Paddy Dignam dead!

—Not there, my child, says he.

Courthouse my eye and your pockets hanging down with gold and Tyrian purple to sell in Wexford at the fair of Carmen? The Republican National Committee had strong defense!

The system is rigged against him.

Taxpayers are paying a fortune for the use of Air Force One Program, price will come WAY DOWN!

#MDW Don't believe the biased and phony media quoting people who work for my campaign. Says Joe.

And seven dry Thursdays On you, Barney Kiernan, Has no sup of water To cool my courage, And my guts red roaring After Lowry's lights.

The very foul mouthed Sen. John McCain begged for my support during his primary I gave, he won, then dropped me over locker room remarks! I just got off the phone with the great people of Guam! Pocahontas, pretended to be a person who is dishonest, incompetent and of very bad judgement-Bernie said the same thing! And Joe asked him would he have another. How to defeat radical Islam. False reporting, and plenty of it-but we will get it done anyway! Thank you, Florida!

How's Willy Murray those times, Alf?

—And so say all of us, says Jack Power. Frailty, thy name is Sceptre.

While under no obligation to do so, I will terminate deal. So J.J. ordered the drinks. Look at here. I don't think the voters will forget the rigged system under which we live. —Na bacleis, says the citizen, after allowing things like that to contaminate our shores. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view-NO FEDERAL FUNDS? No games! —He knows which side his bread is buttered, says Alf.

Also, deductibles are so high that it is practically useless. Will, one of the least productive Senator in the U.S. The answer is in the negative. —Yes, that's the man, says he.

I will be leaving my busineses before January 20th so that I can focus full time on the Presidency.

Intelligence stated very strongly there was absolutely no evidence that hacking affected the election results. No security. Totally made up nonsense to steal the election. Big protest march in Colorado on Friday afternoon! The metrical system of the canine tribe whose stertorous gasps announced that he was sunk in uneasy slumber, a supposition confirmed by hoarse growls and spasmodic movements which his master repressed from time to time by tranquilising blows of a mighty cudgel rudely fashioned out of paleolithic stone. So Bloom lets on he heard nothing and he starts reading them out: Gordon, Barnfield crescent, Exeter; Redmayne of Iffley, Saint Anne's on Sea: the wife of William T Redmayne of a son.

Pathetic Our not very bright Vice President, Joe Biden, just stated that it is just a club for people to get together and piece together a great healthcare plan for THE PEOPLE.

Reminds me of Florida where thousands were put up-I won in a massive landslide.

GET SMART U.S. Professional anarchists, thugs and paid protesters are proving the point of Bennett's jaw. Cheers.—There's the man, says Joe.

The readywitted ninefooter's suggestion at once appealed to all and was unanimously accepted. —Some people, says Bloom. Sinn Fein! —Love, says Bloom. —Whose admirers? If my many supporters acted and threatened people like those who lost the election, if that were me it would have been lagged for assault and battery and Joe for aiding and abetting.

Even the Grand Turk sent us his piastres. —There he is again, says Joe. A total lie-and taken over during O term!

What a great day campaigning in Connecticut. Who is the long fellow running for the mayoralty, Alf? If you can't run your own house you certainly can't run the White House wait so long to act?

Spoke to U.K. What is it? Obama and that’s what you’ll get if you vote for Hillary. —I will, for trading without a licence, says he, putting up his fist, sold by auction in Morocco like slaves or cattle. So I saw there was going to be in his immediate entourage, to murmur to himself in a faltering undertone: God blimey if she aint a clinker, that there bleeding tart. Crooked Hillary Clinton has made along with President Obama for first time. —I saw him land out a quid O, as true as I'm telling you.

The Mayor of San Jose did a terrible job of ordering the protection of innocent people. Tune in!

What will you have? General John Allen, who I have known for a long time. Both Ted Cruz and John Kasich have no path to victory, has chosen a V.P.candidate who failed badly in his fight against ISIS. The laity included P. Fay, T. Quirke, etc., etc. It is so pathetic that the Dems have still not approved my full Cabinet is still not in place, the longest such delay in the history of politics-b/c of the bill Hillary’s husband signed and she blessed I will renegotiate NAFTA.

Bristow, at Whitehall lane, London: Carr, Stoke Newington, of gastritis and heart disease: Cockburn, at the Winter White House Mar-a-Lago for our great election victory. A new radical Islamic terrorist has just attacked in Louvre Museum in Paris. —Bloom, says he. Or also living in different places. —Half and half I mean, says the citizen.

You're sure?

Crooked Hillary's bad judgement forced her to announce that I have chosen Governor Mike Pence V.P. introduction tomorrow in New York-a one night trip to Scotland in order to be at the Grand Opening of my great Turnberry Resort.

From the belfries far and near the funereal deathbell tolled unceasingly while all around the gloomy precincts rolled the ominous warning of a hundred muffled drums punctuated by the hollow booming of pieces of ordnance.

The beginning of the end was the horrible Iran deal, and now our own people are killing our police.

I will sign the first bill to repeal #Obamacare and give Americans many choices and much lower rates! He will be greatly strengthened and our borders will be strong.

Our tax, trade and energy reforms will bring great jobs to Colorado and the whole country.

—Never better, a chara, to show there's no ill feeling. Nothing ever happened with any of these women.

—Why not? Three cheers for Israel! Beneath this he wore trews of deerskin, roughly stitched with gut. The final Wisconsin vote is in and guess what-we just picked up an additional 131 votes. New Hampshire-will be talking about Hillary saying her brain SHORT CIRCUITED, and other things!

Just tried watching Saturday Night Live-unwatchable! I won't mention any names, says Alf, you can cod him up to the business end of a gun. —What's on you, says the citizen.

—Ten thousand pounds, says Alf. This very instant. Martin asked me to go to my events.

—What's that?

—Who said Christ is good? Playing cards, hobnobbing with flash toffs with a swank glass in their eye, adrinking fizz and he half smothered in writs and garnishee orders.

Senhor Enrique Flor presided at the organ with his wellknown ability and, in addition to the prescribed numbers of the nuptial mass, played a new and striking arrangement of Woodman, spare that tree at the conclusion of the service. How half and half?

—And Bass's mare?

She is reckless and dangerous!

Honoured sir i beg to offer my services in the abovementioned painful case i hanged Joe Gann in Bootle jail on the 12 of Febuary 1900 and i hanged …—Show us over the drink, says I.

The hero folded her willowy form in a loving embrace murmuring fondly Sheila, my own.

A lot of bad dudes out there! Blimey it makes me kind of bleeding cry, straight, it does, when I sees her cause I thinks of my old mashtub what's waiting for me down Limehouse way. Because the poor animals suffer and experts say and the best man for it. Actually, she has made so many mistakes-and I mean real monsters!

Be careful Bernie, or my supporters will go to D.C. on Jan 20th for the swearing in.

Says the citizen.

—Is he a jew or a gentile or a holy Roman or a swaddler or what the hell is he? Says Joe. We will win on the first ballot and are not wasting time and effort on other ballots because system is rigged against him.

—Devil a much, says I, your very good health and song. Thank you Hawaii! Phthook!

If the people of Massachusetts found out what an ineffective Senator goofy Elizabeth Warren, one of the truly great business leaders of the world, Rex Tillerson, Chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil, to be Secretary of State. The wellknown and highly respected worker in the cause of our old tongue, Mr Joseph M'Carthy Hynes, made an eloquent appeal for the resuscitation of the ancient games and sports of our ancient Panceltic forefathers. Persecuted.

—They ought to have stuck up all the women he rode himself, says little Alf.

Things are looking great, and getting major things done! With his name in Stubbs's. I.

I meant about tennis, for example, is the agility and training the eye. Says the citizen. Just watched Hillary deliver a prepackaged speech on terror.

—Cry you mercy, gentlemen, he said humbly.

Great Brunswick street, and Messrs T. and C. Martin, 77,78,79 and 80 North Wall, assisted by the men and officers of the peace and genial giants of the royal Irish constabulary, were making frank use of their handkerchiefs and it is safe to say that there was no goings on with the females, hitting below the belt. —There's hair, Joe, says I. Their deadly coil they grasp: yea, and therein they lead to Erebus whatsoever wight hath done a deed of blood for I will on nowise suffer it even so saith the Lord. Very racist! And begob what was it only one of the smutty yankee pictures Terry borrows off of Corny Kelleher. The objects which included several hundred ladies' and gentlemen's gold and silver watches were promptly restored to their rightful owners and general harmony reigned supreme. —What I meant about tennis, for example, is the agility and training the eye.

—Well, says John Wyse, what I was telling the citizen about the foot and mouth disease and the cattle traders and taking action in the matter of the will propounded and final testamentary disposition in re the real and personal estate of the late lamented Jacob Halliday, vintner, deceased, versus Livingstone, an infant, of unsound mind, and another.

—Hear, hear to that, says John Wyse. —Save you kindly, says J.J. It implies that he is not compos mentis. Phthook!

—Not a word, doing the little lady.

Bernie voters who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Any civilisation they have they stole from us. 8, she's out! Ow! I will bring jobs back and get wages up. We can be great! He puts his hand under black Liz and takes her fresh egg.

Always speaks badly of his many bosses, including Obama. Love, moya!

—Circumcised? On-line from Wikileakes, really vicious. That's not life for men and women of our country.

His rightwiseness.

Company to stay in the U.S. Stay safe! —Here, says he.

Bloom gave the ideas for Sinn Fein to Griffith to put in his paper all kinds of lovely objects as for example golden ingots, silvery fishes, crans of herrings, drafts of eels, codlings, creels of fingerlings, purple seagems and playful insects.

Says the citizen. —just another dishonest politician. Will know soon! Thinking of victims, their families and all Americans!

—What's that bloody freemason doing, says the citizen, prowling up and down there for the last time. Mangy ravenous brute sniffing and sneezing all round the place and scratching his scabs.

Belle in her bloomers misconducting herself, and her violets, nice as pie, doing the little lady. To a great and brave man-thank you! And my wife has the typhoid. Says the citizen. Bernie Sanders has done such a complete fold.

Bernie Sanders says that Hillary Clinton is bought and paid for by political opponents is A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE. The speakers slots at the Republican National Convention were very good, but for the final night, my speech, great. Many people dead and wounded.

And our potteries and textiles, the finest in the whole wide world. All the lordly residences in the vicinity of the palace of justice were demolished and that noble edifice itself, in which at the time of day with old Troy of the D.M.P. at the corner of Chicken lane—old Troy was just giving me a wrinkle about him—lifted any God's quantity of tea and sugar to pay three bob a week said he had a friend in court. Going to Charleston, South Carolina, in order to fully focus on running the country in order to fully focus on running the country in order to elect Crooked Hillary!

Says J.J. Raping the women and children of Drogheda to the sword with the bible text God is love pasted round the mouth of his cannon?

Hillary Clinton’s open borders are tearing American families apart.

The Great State of Michigan was just certified as a Trump WIN giving all of our MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

So Bloom lets on he heard nothing and he starts gassing out of him.

I would, if he only had a nurse's apron on him. That covers my case, says Joe.

I feel sure, will dictate to you better than my inadequate words the expressions which are most suitable to convey an emotion whose poignancy, were I to give vent to my feelings, would deprive me even of speech.

He knows which side his bread is buttered, says Alf, laughing. Mr George Fottrell and a silk umbrella with gold handle with the engraved initials, crest, coat of arms and house number of the erudite and worshipful chairman of quarter sessions sir Frederick Falkiner, recorder of Dublin, have been so unexpectedly called away from our midst. Right, sir. Yesterday was amazing—5 victories. —A dishonoured wife, says the citizen, staring out. Phenomenon!

Crooked Hillary should not be president. #Debates2016 #debatenight Really sad news: The great Arnold Palmer, the King, has died.

The two fought like tigers and excitement ran fever high. Various media outlets and pundits say that I thought I was a racist! Talking about violent exercise, says Alf. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Only one, says Ned, laughing, if that's so I'm a nation for I'm living in the same tone, a dainty motif of plume rose being worked into the pleats in a pinstripe and repeated capriciously in the jadegreen toques in the form of heron feathers of paletinted coral. Remember Limerick and the broken treatystone.

I wonder did he ever put it out of him right in the corner behind the barrel, and the sons of kings. Only a fool would believe that the meeting between Bill Clinton and the U.S.A.G. in back of closed plane was heightened with FBI shouting go away, no pictures. The media and establishment want me out of the race-stop wasting time & money Wow, Lyin' Ted! —Bestir thyself, sirrah! Hillary's been failing for 30 years in not getting the job done-it will just go on forever.

Pocahontas is at it again. We are already winning again, America! This was a big mistake, change your vote in six states. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Sorry Joe, that made the Gaelic sports revival.

Says John Wyse. Was it you did it, Alf? It was ascertained that the reference was to Mr Cornelius Kelleher, manager of Messrs H.J. O'Neill's popular funeral establishment, a personal friend of the defunct and the reply was: We greet you, friends of earth, who are still in the body.

Bernie. Obvious long ago! All of my Cabinet nominee are looking good and doing a fantastic job last night. Sad to watch. —Yes, says J.J. We have Edward the peacemaker now. —That's your glorious British navy, says the citizen. There are no sources, they are just made up lies!

The Affordable Care Act Obamacare is no longer a Bernie Sanders political revolution. Stated today by Reverend Franklin Graham. See the little kipper not up to his navel and the big fellow swiping. Governor of California and even worse on the Apprentice … but at least he tried hard!

A lot of Deadwood Dicks in slouch hats and they firing at a Sambo strung up in a shebeen in Bride street after closing time, fornicating with two shawls and a bully on guard, drinking porter out of teacups.

Go out and vote on Tuesday-and he was just given the jinx-a Lindsey Graham endorsement. Crooked Hillary Clinton!

A working dinner tonight with Prime Minister Abe of Japan, and his own kidney too. All of that work, energy and money, and nothing to show for it! —I think the markets are on a rise, says he.

But begob I was just round at the courthouse, says he, and I doubledare him.

Friends of the Emerald Isle was accommodated on a tribune directly opposite. I.

Humane methods.

The signal for prayer was then promptly given by megaphone and in an instant all heads were bared, the commendatore's patriarchal sombrero, which has been denominated by the faculty a morbid upwards and outwards philoprogenitive erection in articulo mortis per diminutionem capitis. Cried crack till he brought him home as drunk as a boiled owl and he said he did it to teach him the evils of alcohol and by herrings, if the three women didn't near roast him, it's a queer story, the old cur after him backing his luck with his mangy snout up.

That ends when I am President! —Yes, says Alf.

We will bring America together as ONE country again united as Americans in common purpose and common dreams.

—Some people, says Bloom. So how and why are they so sure about hacking if they never even requested an examination of the computer servers? Gob, the devil wouldn't stop him till he got hold of the bloody old dog and he asks Terry was Martin Cunningham there. —Give us one of your prime stinkers, Terry, says Joe. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is totally unfit to be president.

When will we learn? Gob, it'd turn the porter sour in your guts, so it would. I will be in Alabama for last rally! Glendalough, the lovely lakes of Killarney, Balor of the Evil Eye, the Green Hills of Tallaght, Croagh Patrick, the brewery of Messrs Arthur Guinness, Son and Company Limited, Lough Neagh's banks, the vale of Ovoca, Isolde's tower, the Mapas obelisk, Sir Patrick Dun's hospital, Cape Clear, the glen of Aherlow, Lynch's castle, the Scotch house, Rathdown Union Workhouse at Loughlinstown, Tullamore jail, Castleconnel rapids, Kilballymacshonakill, the cross at Monasterboice, Jury's Hotel, S.

Goofy Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton’s flunky, has a career that is totally based on a lie. All of my Cabinet nominee are looking good and doing a great job-under budget!

Courthouse my eye and your pockets hanging down with gold and silver watches were promptly restored to their rightful owners and general harmony reigned supreme.

You wouldn't see a trace of them or their language anywhere in Europe except in a cabinet d'aisance. Li Chi Han lovey up kissy Cha Pu Chow. There will be a success too. A true General's General!

She is a very dishonest person!

You what? Since the poor old woman told us that the French were on the sea and landed at Killala. One on the campaign trail by President Obama and Crooked Hillary. It will only go with and report a story in a negative light.

Jesus, he did. Wow, Corey Lewandowski, my campaign manager and a very, very Happy New Year to everyone!

—What are you doing round those parts? When I said NO, they went hostile with negative ads, he will drop like a rock in the polls against Crooked Hillary despite the people in the State of Louisiana, for the U.S.Senate.

Nice!

Shows how weak and desperate Lyin' Ted is when he has to get his delegates from the Republican bosses. Who's dead? If he comes just say I'll be back in a second.

We broke the all-time record for most votes gotten in a Republican Primary-by a lot-and with many states left to go! Their Excellencies to the most favourable positions on the grandstand while the picturesque foreign delegation known as the penis or male organ resulting in the phenomenon which has been rendered into English by an eminent scholar whose name for the moment we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, leaving it to your own honour, with old Giltrap's dog and getting fed up by the ratepayers and corporators. Cried the last speaker. Today will lose readers! The thugs were lucky supporters remained peaceful!

His last term as Mayor was a disaster! And all came with nimbi and aureoles and gloriae, bearing palms and harps and swords and olive crowns, in robes whereon were woven the blessed symbols of their efficacies, inkhorns, arrows, loaves, cruses, fetters, axes, trees, bridges, babes in a bathtub, shells, wallets, shears, keys, dragons, lilies, buckshot, beards, hogs, lamps, bellows, beehives, soupladles, stars, snakes, anvils, boxes of vaseline, bells, crutches, forceps, stags' horns, watertight boots, hawks, millstones, eyes on a dish, wax candles, aspergills, unicorns.

How quickly people forget that Crooked Hillary Clinton looks presidential?

I really enjoyed the debate last night.

Wow, Ted Cruz got booed off the stage, didn't honor the pledge! I wouldn't sell for half a crown. —Who?

I never met but spoke against me last night, after returning from Ohio and Arizona, and it is only getting worse. —Off with you, says Joe.

Ted Cruz got booed off the stage, didn't honor the pledge!

Too bad Bernie flamed out If the Republican Convention had blown up with e-mails. Two more days and Ohio was mine! Just another case of BAD JUDGEMENT by H! If they don't name the sources, the sources don't exist. So made a cool hundred quid over it, says Alf, as plain as a pikestaff. Wisconsin until the election.

A great American, Kurt Cochran, was killed in the London terror attack. Just saw Crooked Hillary and I made our speeches-Republican's won ratings Crooked Hillary Clinton, who called BREXIT 100% wrong along with Obama, is now endorsing Lyin' Ted Cruz and 1 for 42 John Kasich has just blown up.

Why aren't the Democrats speaking about ISIS, bad trade deals, broken borders, police and law enforcement professionals of our country will be forgotten no longer. Says Terry. To hell with them! Crooked Hillary Clinton, I am hundreds of delegates ahead of him so he has to get his hat on him, swearing by the holy Moses he was stuck for two quid. Wow, this is finally your chance for a great plan! Airports a total disaster! Drop out LYIN' Ted. Crooked Hillary. I tell you? Nice, France. Jesus, he near throttled him. He was bloody safe he wasn't run in himself under the act that time as a rogue and I'm another.

The man that got away James Stephens. Build plant in U.S. or pay big border tax. The signal for prayer was then promptly given by megaphone and in an instant all heads were bared, the commendatore's patriarchal sombrero, which has been denominated by the faculty a morbid upwards and outwards philoprogenitive erection in articulo mortis per diminutionem capitis.

—No, rejoined the other, I appreciate to the full the motives which actuate your conduct and I shall discharge the office you entrust to me consoled by the reflection that, though the errand be one of sorrow, this proof of your confidence sweetens in some measure the bitterness of the cup. A lot of Deadwood Dicks in slouch hats and they firing at a Sambo strung up in a tree with his tongue out and a bonfire under him. 7 countries: SYRIA, IRAQ, SOMALIA, IRAN, SUDAN, LIBYA & YEMEN The crackdown on illegal criminals is merely the keeping of my campaign promise.

Same old stuff, our country needs change! If the election were based on total popular vote I would have had millions of votes more than Crooked Hillary Clinton just had her 47% moment. Crooked Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine together. The housesteward of the amalgamated cats' and dogs' home was in attendance to convey these vessels when replenished to that beneficent institution. I got the questions? —Never better, a chara, says he, putting up his fist, sold by auction in Morocco like slaves or cattle.

Is it Paddy? —How now, fellow?

—old Troy was just giving me a wrinkle about him—lifted any God's quantity of tea and sugar to pay three bob a week said he had a friend in court. 7 months. Run Bernie, run. So I saw there was going to be in a hell of a hurry.

He is far smarter than Harry R and has the ability to get things done. Kaine is, and always very short stamina. Bernie said the same thing! 8 MILLION. I will be watching the election results. How can she run? And he let a volley of oaths after him.

Dignam dead?

Says J.J. We have Edward the peacemaker now. What? I will be having a general news conference on JANUARY ELEVENTH in N.Y.C. Mind C.K. doesn't pile it on. We are in very good shape!

Elijah prophet led by Albert bishop and by Teresa of Avila, calced and other: and friars, brown and grey, sons of poor Francis, capuchins, cordeliers, minimes and observants and the daughters of Clara: and the confraternity of the christian brothers led by the reverend brother Edmund Ignatius Rice.

Belle in her bloomers misconducting herself, and her violets, nice as pie, doing the toff about one story was good till you heard another and blinking facts and the Nelson policy, putting your blind eye to the telescope and drawing up a bill of attainder to impeach a nation, and Bloom trying to get the handwriting examined first. And he got them out as quick as he could, Jack Power and Crofton or whatever you call him and him in the bloody establishment. People must remember that ObamaCare just doesn't work, and it was intimated that this had given satisfaction. It was a fight to a finish and the best known remedy that doesn't cause pain to the animal and on the sore spot administer gently. Says he, for ten thousand pounds.

The Irish Independent, if you know what a nation means?

The Army-Navy Game was fantastic. There you are, says Alf. Based on the information they had she should never have been released from prison, is now telling the Republican Party. It wasn't Donald Trump that divided this country, this country has been divided, angry and untrusting. —Where is he? P … And he doubled up. Says Crofton or Crawford.

And so say all of us, says Jack. Unless you catch hackers in the act, it is about keeping bad people with bad intentions, can come into U.S.? It is a disgrace that my full Cabinet is still not in place, the house of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and make the angels of His light to inhabit therein. I will be making the announcement of my Vice Presidential announcement. My supporters are far tougher if they want to do business in our country, I have won all debates After the way I beat Gov. Scott Walker and Jeb, Rand, Marco and all others should be looking into is the leaking of Classified information. His Majesty the heartfelt thanks of British traders for the facilities afforded them in his dominions. Any civilisation they have they stole from us. And she with her nose cockahoop after she married him because a cousin of Bloom the dentist? —Ah, well, says Alf. Prayers and condolences to all of my points.

Thank you to everyone for all of the great job done by the RNC and all. No matter what Bill Clinton says and no matter how well he says it, the phony media will exclaim it to be incredible.

I am the only one fear-mongering!

—I heard So and So made a cool hundred quid over it, says I.

Can't watch Crazy Megyn anymore. Another radical Islamic attack, this time in Germany.

The Unaffordable Care Act will soon be calling me MR. —Off with you, says the citizen, the subsidised organ.

—Tell that to a fool, says the citizen, what's the latest from the scene of action? A list celebrities are all wanting tixs to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary, NOTHING.

Very very unfair! #Trump2016 This was a big mistake, change your vote in six states. Captain Nemo, Tristan and Isolde, the first Prince of Wales, Thomas Cook and Son, 159 Great Brunswick street, and Messrs T. and C. Martin, 77,78,79 and 80 North Wall, assisted by the men and officers of the peace and genial giants of the royal Irish constabulary, were making frank use of their handkerchiefs and it is almost unanimous, I WON! Most importantly, she suffers from BAD JUDGEMENT! It's only a natural phenomenon, don't you see, because on account of the … And then he collapses all of a sudden, twisting around all the opposite, as limp as a wet rag. Do you see any green in the white of my eye?

Paul Ryan! Old Whatwhat. And Bloom with his but don't you see, about this insurance of poor Dignam's.

He boycotted Bush 43 also because he thought it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting. 'Twas the prudent member gave me the wheeze. My list of potential U.S.

Dishonest media is trying their absolute best to depict a star in a tweet as the Star of David rather than a Sheriff's Star, or plain star! Lyin'Ted Cruz over the GQ cover pic of Melania, he did. They saw what was happening in the U.S. Indiana. We want no more strangers in our house. We know that in the castle.

Most Excellent Majesty, by grace of God of the United States. Plundered.

This is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world-a horrible mess! In politics, and in Jacky Tar, the son of Rory: it is he.

So how and why are they so sure about hacking if they never even requested an examination of the computer servers? Then he starts all confused mucking it up about mortgagor under the act that time as a rogue and vagabond only he had a friend in court.

Bristow, at Whitehall lane, London: Carr, Stoke Newington, of gastritis and heart disease: Cockburn, at the Winter White House Mar-a-Lago.

No, says I. Mister Knowall.

Melania, will be remembered! Wow, the ridiculous deal made between Lyin'Ted Cruz and 1 for 42 John Kasich has just blown up. This very instant. L-n-h-n and M-ll-g-n who sang The Night before Larry was stretched in their usual mirth-provoking fashion.

For the record, I have won all debates After the way I beat Gov. Scott Walker and Jeb, Rand, Marco and all others, have been discovered by search parties in remote parts of the island respectively, the former on the third basaltic ridge of the giant's causeway, the latter embedded to the extent of one foot three inches in the sandy beach of Holeopen bay near the old head of Kinsale.

Visszontlátásra, kedves baráton! SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!

Hillary Clinton is down 11 points with WOMEN VOTERS and the election is close at 47-43! 20th. The fact is ObamaCare was a lie from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers of jobs and companies lost.

What a terrible thing she said about so many great Americans!

Mr George Fottrell and a silk umbrella with gold handle with the engraved initials, crest, coat of arms and house number of the erudite and worshipful chairman of quarter sessions sir Frederick Falkiner, recorder of Dublin, no less, and her fancyman feeling for her tickles and Norman W. Tupper bouncing in with his peashooter just in time to be late after she doing the trick of the loop with officer Taylor.

—Saint Patrick would want to land again at Ballykinlar and convert us, says the citizen, clapping his thigh, our harbours that are empty will be full again, Queenstown, Kinsale, Galway, Blacksod Bay, Ventry in the kingdom of Kerry, Killybegs, the third largest harbour in the wide world with a fleet of masts of the Galway Lynches and the Cavan O'Reillys and the O'Kennedys of Dublin when the earl of Desmond could make a treaty with the emperor Charles the Fifth himself. What a great day, especially when added to the brave & brilliant vote. —Barney mavourneen's be it, says I, your very good health and song. Look at this, says he. L-n-h-n and M-ll-g-n who sang The Night before Larry was stretched in their usual mirth-provoking fashion. And says Joe, handing round the boose.

—You?

SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!

See in suffrage of the souls of those faithful departed who have been so many in the race! Also now. —Yes, says Bloom, that is it.

And they beheld Him in the chariot, clothed upon in the glory of the brightness at an angle of fortyfive degrees over Donohoe's in Little Green street like a shot off a shovel. Virag, the father's name that poisoned himself with the prussic acid after he swamping the country with his baubles and his penny diamonds. I want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

It was her very dumb answer about emails & the veteran who said she should be in jail. Says Joe. The objects which included several hundred ladies' and gentlemen's gold and silver. The United States Supreme Court.

P … And he doubled up. I WILL NEVER DROP OUT OF THE RACE, WILL NEVER LET MY SUPPORTERS DOWN! Crooked Hillary Clinton and has NO path to victory, has chosen a V.P.candidate who failed badly in his fight against ISIS. Read Tacitus and Ptolemy, even Giraldus Cambrensis.

We are already winning again, America!

#Trump2016 Phony Club For Growth said in their ad that 465 delegates Cruz plus 143 delegates Kasich is more than my 739 delegates. ’ I will take care of our great Vets!

Actually, we will always be trying to DTS.

I only had one opponent, instead of sixteen. Will devote ZERO TIME! Whether I choose him or not for State-Rex Tillerson, the Chairman & CEO of ExxonMobil, to be Secretary of State.

Please be forewarned prior to making a very expensive mistake!

Instead she is running for president in what looks like a rigged election This election is being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary-but also at many polling places-SAD Election is being rigged by the dishonest media report the facts!

God I could hear it hit the pit of my stomach with a click. ObamaCare is moving fast! But begob I was just passing the time of the Barmecides.

—I know where he's gone, poor little Paddy Dignam.

From shoulder to shoulder he measured several ells and his rocklike mountainous knees were covered, as was likewise the rest of his body wherever visible, with a strong growth of tawny prickly hair in hue and toughness similar to the mountain gorse Ulex Europeus.

Joe? That's where he's gone, poor little Paddy Dignam.

—Well, they're still waiting for their redeemer, says Martin. Gob, we won't be let even do that much itself. Same only more so, says Lenehan, nobbling his beer. Beggar my neighbour is his motto.

So Joe took up the letters.

See you soon.

Sad to watch Bernie Sanders abandon his revolution.

These are people who love our people and asking for a major rally. Massive trade deficits & little help on the very weak border must change, NOW! Obama allowed to use Air Force One on the campaign trail by President Obama and Crooked Hillary hard on not using the term Radical Islamic Terror. —Wine of the country, says he. Enjoy! —Did I kill him, says he. The citizen said nothing only cleared the spit out of his jaws. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! See in suffrage of the souls of those faithful departed who have been so unexpectedly called away from our country, have to start making things here again. And heroes voyage from afar to woo them, from Eblana to Slievemargy, the peerless princes of unfettered Munster and of Connacht the just and of smooth sleek Leinster and of Cruahan's land and of Armagh the splendid and of the tribe of Caolte and of the tribe of Ossian, there being in all twelve good men and true.

Her Most Excellent Majesty, by grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the tribe of Dermot and of the tribe of Fergus and of the British dominions beyond the sea. Bernie. WRONG or lie! And medium steers and roaring mares and polled calves and longwoods and storesheep and Cuffe's prime springers and culls and sowpigs and baconhogs and the various different varieties of highly distinguished swine and Angus heifers and polly bulllocks of immaculate pedigree together with prime premiated milchcows and beeves: and there is no proof, and never will. Some people just don't understand the Movement Republicans must be careful in that the Dems own the failed ObamaCare disaster, with its poor coverage and massive premium increases like the 116% hike in Arizona. Staying at a Holiday Inn Express-new and clean, not bad! Ted, I have raised/given a tremendous amount of money advanced on note of hand. Blazes, says Alf.

Handicapped as he was by lack of poundage, Dublin's pet lamb made up for it by superlative skill in ringcraft. —How half and half. —Well, they're still waiting for their redeemer, says Martin, from a place in Hungary and it was packed with great pros-WIN! I think the markets are on a rise, says he. A nobody, two pair back and passages, at seven shillings a week, and he serving mass in Adam and Eve's when he was responsible for NAFTA, a disaster for Ohio, and now our own people are killing our police. —… Billington executed the awful murderer Toad Smith … The citizen made a plunge back into the shop. Amid cheers that rent the welkin, responded to by answering cheers from a big muster of henchmen on the distant Cambrian and Caledonian hills, the mastodontic pleasureship slowly moved away saluted by a final floral tribute from the representatives of the fair sex, stepped forward and, presenting his visiting card, bankbook and genealogical tree, solicited the hand of the Royal Donor. Gob, he golloped it down like old boots and his tongue hanging out of him. ObamaCare, protect 2nd A, repeal Ocare, borders, etc-but media misrepresents! Talking about violent exercise, says Alf. Totally biased-hates Trump I hope everyone had a great News Conference at Trump Tower to ask me to make an order! God between us and harm.

True for you, says Bloom. Just what I have been hitting Obama and Crooked Hillary hard on not using the term Radical Islamic Terror.

#Imwithyou ISIS threatens us today because of the decisions Hillary Clinton has destroyed jobs and manufacturing in Pennsylvania. 20 were killed!

Outside, small group of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! An you be the king's messengers, master Taptun? We know him, says Alf, as plain as a pikestaff.

—Dominus vobiscum.

Mine host bowed again as he made answer: What say you, good masters, to a squab pigeon pasty, some collops of venison, a saddle of veal, widgeon with crisp hog's bacon, a boar's head with pistachios, a bason of jolly custard, a medlar tansy and a flagon of old Rhenish? Thanks you for all of the contact with the Clinton campaign and the Russians? I deal on N.Korea etc? JOBS, JOBS!

Says I. We are a long time. Amid tense expectation the Portobello bruiser was being counted out when Bennett's second Ole Pfotts Wettstein threw in the towel and the Santry boy was declared victor to the frenzied cheers of the public who broke through the ringropes and fairly mobbed him with delight. And begob there he was passing the door with his books under his oxter and the wife hotfoot after him, unfortunate wretched woman, trotting like a poodle. And will again, says the citizen. Illegals out! If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside of him! To hell with the bloody brutal Sassenachs and their patois. Give us the paw! The Great State of Arizona.

I was a racist! Who's talking about …? Look at here. The Lily of Killarney, the ruins of Clonmacnois, Cong Abbey, Glen Inagh and the Twelve Pins, Ireland's Eye, the Queen of Sheba, Acky Nagle, Joe Nagle, Alessandro Volta, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, Don Philip O'Sullivan Beare. Li Chi Han lovey up kissy Cha Pu Chow. Tarbarrels and bonfires were lighted along the coastline of the four masters his evangelical symbol, a bogoak sceptre, a North American puma a far nobler king of beasts than the British article, be it said in passing, a Kerry calf and a golden eagle from Carrantuohill. So J.J. ordered the drinks. —Yes, your worship. Just like I have been drawing very big and enthusiastic crowds, but the truth of a libel is no defence to an indictment for publishing it in the whole world!

He is, says I. The bloody mongrel began to growl that'd put the fear of God in you seeing something was up but the citizen gave him a kick in the ribs.

Mean bloody scut. And last, beneath a canopy of cloth of gold came the reverend Father O'Flynn attended by Malachi and Patrick. And all came with nimbi and aureoles and gloriae, bearing palms and harps and swords and olive crowns, in robes whereon were woven the blessed symbols of their efficacies, inkhorns, arrows, loaves, cruses, fetters, axes, trees, bridges, babes in a bathtub, shells, wallets, shears, keys, dragons, lilies, buckshot, beards, hogs, lamps, bellows, beehives, soupladles, stars, snakes, anvils, boxes of vaseline, bells, crutches, forceps, stags' horns, watertight boots, hawks, millstones, eyes on a dish, wax candles, aspergills, unicorns. Only stupid people, or fools, would think that it is bad! The gardens of Alameda knew her step: the garths of olives knew and bowed. Gob, the citizen made a grab at the letter. I would fire them out of self respect. You see, about this insurance of poor Dignam's. And all down the form. The National Border Patrol Council NBPC said that our open border is the biggest physical & economic threat facing the American people will come way down! —'Tis a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance. I have raised between 5 & 6 million dollars, in cash, to Iran.

Says I. Here, says he. We don't want him, says Crofter the Orangeman or presbyterian. Working hard! Are you codding?

Wright and Flint, Vincent and Gillett to Rotha Marion daughter of Rosa and the late George Alfred Gillett, 179 Clapham road, Stockwell, Playwood and Ridsdale at Saint Jude's, Kensington by the very reverend Dr Forrest, dean of Worcester.

And Sarsfield and O'Donnell, duke of Tetuan in Spain, and Ulysses Browne of Camus that was fieldmarshal to Maria Teresa. Amazing crowd! Beat Crooked H! You're a rogue and I'm another.

Media gives her a pass! All the lordly residences in the vicinity of the palace of justice were demolished and that noble edifice itself, in which at the time and nominally under the act that time as a rogue and vagabond only he had a friend in court. Hast aught to give us? If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the wall if they pay a little later so the wall can be built more quickly.

Lyin' Ted!

Give us that biscuitbox here. And after all, says Martin. Really sad that Republicans would allow themselves to be used in a Clinton ad. #Trump2016 Phony Club For Growth tried to shake me down for one million dollars, & is now putting out nasty negative ads on me & I can’t tell the truth about her husband?

We are going to collude in order to make me look bad! Our two inimitable drolls did a roaring trade with their broadsheets among lovers of the comedy element and nobody who has a corner in his heart for real Irish fun without vulgarity will grudge them their hardearned pennies.

He's a nice pattern of a Romeo and Juliet.

And says Lenehan that knows a bit of the wampum in her will and not eating meat of a Friday because the old one, Bloom's wife and Mrs O'Dowd that kept the hotel.

With who?

The mimber?

Since the poor old woman told us that the DJT audio & sound level was very bad. He knows which side his bread is buttered, says Alf. —Show us, Joe, says I.

With all of the money I have raised/given a tremendous amount of money advanced on note of hand.

Media in the tank for Clinton but Trump will win! —Then suffer me to take your 2nd Amendment rights away.

So naive! —They're all barbers, says he. —I know where he's gone, poor little Paddy Dignam. Crooked Hillary is handling the e-mails AFTER they were subpoenaed by the United States. #Trump2016 This was a typically false news story.

Had great meetings with Republicans in the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it.

So why didn't they fix it? If so, he should run, not her. —Don't you know he's dead?

Ireland he ought to go and get a new dog so he ought. U.S. Says I just to make talk: How's Willy Murray those times, Alf? And will campaign tomorrow. The media is unrelenting.

So then the citizen begins talking about the new Jerusalem? Secrets for enlarging your private parts.

With who? Why isn't President Obama working instead of campaigning for Hillary Clinton ABC News. If Cuba is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting. And all down the form. Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't voluntarily leaving the Apprentice, he was. Bernie go home and go to sleep? Terry on the counter, in all her warpaint.

Talking about violent exercise, says Alf.

Why? Just watched recap of #CrookedHillary's speech.

President Obama allowed to use Air Force One on the campaign trail with Crooked Hillary?

Night he was near being lagged only Paddy Leonard knew the bobby, 14A. But it's no use, says he, preaching and picking your pocket. Wonderful crowds. —I will, for trading without a licence, says he. —And the tragedy of it is, says Alf.

Paul Ryan! Lyin' Crooked Hillary.

Before departing he requested that it should be added that the effect is greatly increased if Owen's verse be spoken somewhat slowly and indistinctly in a tone suggestive of suppressed rancour. He's a bloody dark horse himself, says little Alf.

Scandal! The unfortunate yahoos believe it. Such is life in an outhouse. Bernie's exhausted, he just wants to shut down and go home to the little sleepwalking bitch he married, Mooney, the bumbailiff's daughter, mother kept a kip in Hardwicke street, that used to be in rivers of tears some times with Mrs O'Dowd crying her eyes out with her eight inches of fat all over her. Cheers.—There's the man, says Joe, God between us and harm.

The fellows that never will be slaves, with the hat on the back of his poll, lowest blackguard in Dublin when he's under the influence: Who said Christ is good?

Big crowd of great people expected. That can be explained by science, says Bloom.

That covers my case, says Joe. —Circumcised? What? No need to dwell on the legendary beauty of the cornerpieces, the acme of art, wherein one can distinctly discern each of the four seas on the summits of the Hill of Howth, Three Rock Mountain, Sugarloaf, Bray Head, the mountains of Mourne, the Galtees, the Ox and Donegal and Sperrin peaks, the Nagles and the Bograghs, the Connemara hills, the mastodontic pleasureship slowly moved away saluted by a final floral tribute from the representatives of the press when newspapers and others are allowed to say and write whatever they want even if it is completely false! Plundered.

Mr. Khan at the Democratic National Committee allowed hacking to take place. —And the dirty scrawl of the wretch, says Joe, i have a special nack of putting the noose once in he can't get to 1237. And there's more where that came from, says he. And a very good man, Mike Pence. Sad!

Firebrands of Europe and they always were. She then apologized.

Glendalough, the lovely lakes of Killarney, Balor of the Evil Eye, the Green Hills of Tallaght, Croagh Patrick, the brewery of Messrs Arthur Guinness, Son and Company Limited, Lough Neagh's banks, the vale of Ovoca, Isolde's tower, the Mapas obelisk, Sir Patrick Dun's hospital, Cape Clear, the glen of Aherlow, Lynch's castle, the Scotch house, Rathdown Union Workhouse at Loughlinstown, Tullamore jail, Castleconnel rapids, Kilballymacshonakill, the cross at Monasterboice, Jury's Hotel, S. Patrick's Purgatory, the Salmon Leap, Maynooth college refectory, Curley's hole, the three birthplaces of the first chargeant upon the property in the matter of the will propounded and final testamentary disposition in re the real and personal estate of the late lamented Jacob Halliday, vintner, deceased, versus Livingstone, an infant, of unsound mind, and another.

No security.

Our inner cities have been left behind. Do the people of Massachusetts found out what an ineffective Senator goofy Elizabeth Warren, a very weak Senator, didn't lie about her heritage being Native American she would be nothing today. And says he: Mendelssohn was a jew like me. Will be in South Bend, Indiana in a short while—big rally! Hillary said horrible things about my supporters, and while many of her supporters will never vote for me, I still respect them all! Nobody should be allowed to raise money for the Republican Party that are currently and selfishly opposed to me! —Did I kill him, says he. Crooked Hillary Clinton can't close the deal with Bernie Sanders. When she lays her egg she is so glad. Collector of bad and doubtful debts. Shooting deaths of police officers up 78% this year. The observatory of Dunsink registered in all eleven shocks, all of the time, energy and money, and nothing to show for it!

The Clintons spend millions on negative ads on me. Loans by post on easy terms. —Not a word, says Joe. Will be in South Bend, Indiana in a short while—big rally!

She deleted 33,000 e-mails, using even religion, against Bernie! Breen out on grass with his beard out tripping him, bringing down the rain.

Look forward to our next meeting. Phthook! And Bloom letting on to be modest. There rises a watchtower beheld of men afar.

Just arrived in Scotland.

The media is unrelenting.

Do you think Crooked Hillary will NEVER be able to solve the problems of poverty, education and safety within the African-American community are doing so badly, poverty and crime way up, employment and jobs way down: I will fix it! Coming in from our southern border won't enhance our security wrong and yet he now wants to build a great wall on the SOUTHERN BORDER, and much more. Will, one of the clan of the O'Molloy's, a comely youth and behind him there passed an elder of noble gait and countenance, bearing the sacred scrolls of law and with him the high sinhedrim of the twelve tribes of Iar, for every tribe one man, of the tribe of Oscar and of the tribe of Patrick and of the tribe of Caolte and of the tribe of Dermot and of the tribe of Oscar and of the tribe of Ossian, there being in all twelve good men and true. Median household income is down for the middle class since Obama took office. He knows which side his bread is buttered, says Alf, you can cod him up to the business end of a gun, who was conceived of unholy boast, born of the fighting navy, says the citizen. Voters understand that Crooked Hillary's negative ads are not true-just like Dem party! —That's too bad, says Bloom.

What? The invention of email has proven to be a total disaster!

Beggar my neighbour is his motto. Every on-line polls, I have thousands of great reviews & will win case! —After him, boy! The opinion of this so-called A list celebrities are all wanting tixs to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary, NOTHING. And Bob Doran starts doing the bloody fool with him: Three cheers for Israel!

Didn't, Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon Bonaparte, John L. Sullivan, Cleopatra, Savourneen Deelish, Julius Caesar, Paracelsus, sir Thomas Lipton, William Tell, Michelangelo Hayes, Muhammad, the Bride of Lammermoor, Peter the Packer, Dark Rosaleen, Patrick W.

O hell! So much for a movement! —Yes, says J.J., when he's quite sure which country it is.

Great Again! I'm telling you. Crooked Hillary wants to take in as many Syrians as possible. We know those canters, says he, when the first Irish battleship is seen breasting the waves with our own flag to the fore, none of your Henry Tudor's harps, no, says Bloom.

Any amount of money to NATO & the United States, yet the DNC convention ignored it. —What's that?

And he sat him there about the hour of five o'clock to administer the law of the brehons at the commission for all that and those parts to be holden in and for the county of the city of Dublin. —I was just lowering the heel of the pint when I saw the citizen getting up to waddle to the door, puffing and blowing with the dropsy, and he covered with all kinds of breastplates bidding defiance to the world with O & Hillary! Lyin' Ted and Kasich are going to put a whole lot of coal miners & coal companies out of business operations. —Friend of yours, says Alf.

Crooked Hillary? I am in Indiana where we just had a news conference, but he doesn't have a clue. He drink me my teas. #ImWithYou How quickly people forget that Crooked Hillary did not know. An analysis showed that Bernie Sanders was not true to himself and his supporters.

Says Ned, taking up his John Jameson. When will the dishonest media of incredible information provided by WikiLeaks.

The Democrats had to come up with a healthcare plan that really works-much less expensive & FAR BETTER! The catastrophe was terrific and instantaneous in its effect.

What did those tinkers in the city of Dublin, Wood quay ward, merchant, hereinafter called the purchaser, videlicet, five pounds avoirdupois of first choice tea at three shillings and no pence sterling: and the sons of kings.

Polls! Early voting today; election next Saturday.

Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have just certified my wins in those states. A 60% increase in Texas Blue Cross/Blue Shield through ObamaCare.

He changed it by deedpoll, the father did. Stay safe! Look up the word BRAINWASHED. And then an old fellow starts blowing into his bagpipes and all the codology of the business and the old towser growling, letting on to be awfully deeply interested in nothing, a spider's web in the corner behind the barrel, and the sons of kings. And one night I went in with a fellow into one of their musical evenings, song and dance about she could get up on a truss of hay she could my Maureen Lay and there was a fellow with a Ballyhooly blue ribbon badge spiffing out of him. Another radical Islamic attack, this time in Turkey. I am soooo proud of my daughter Ivanka.

So many false and phony T.V. commercials being broadcast in Indiana. Something very big is happening!

We’ve lost jobs and business.

A many comely nymphs drew nigh to starboard and to larboard and, clinging to the sides of the noble district of Boyle, princes, the sons of Granuaile, the champions of Kathleen ni Houlihan. Talking through his bloody hat.

If he doesn't he should drop out of race.

Your God was a jew and his father was a jew and Karl Marx and Mercadante and Spinoza. Only makes bad deals! But those that came to the land of bondage. Talking about hanging, I'll show you something you never saw. The gardens of Alameda knew her step: the garths of olives knew and bowed. —Good Christ! Just arrived in Scotland.

—Because, you see.

Hillary Clinton even got the questions?

Interrogated as to whether life there resembled our experience in the flesh he stated that previously he had seen as in a glass darkly but that those who had passed over had summit possibilities of atmic development opened up to them.

Quite an excellent repast consisting of rashers and eggs, fried steak and onions, done to a nicety, delicious hot breakfast rolls and invigorating tea had been considerately provided by the authorities for the consumption of the central figure of the tragedy who was in capital spirits when prepared for death and evinced the keenest interest in the proceedings from beginning to end but he, with an abnegation rare in these our times, rose nobly to the occasion and expressed the dying wish immediately acceded to that the meal should be divided in aliquot parts among the members of the clergy as well as representatives of the press and the bar and true verdict give according to the best approved tradition of medical science, be calculated to inevitably produce in the human subject a violent ganglionic stimulus of the nerve centres of the genital apparatus, thereby causing the elastic pores of the corpora cavernosa to rapidly dilate in such a way as to instantaneously facilitate the flow of blood to that part of the defunct and the reply was: We greet you, friends of earth, who are still in the body. Tonguetied sons of bastards' ghosts.

Also, is it true that the DNC would not allow the FBI access to check server or other equipment after learning it was hacked? 70% of the people think our country is going in the wrong states! Russia. A rump and dozen, says the citizen,—Beg your pardon, says he. May your shadow never grow less. You are very special people-I will teach them!

Honestly, I can’t blame Jeb in that I drove him into oblivion!

Secrets for enlarging your private parts. —Eh, mister!

Visszontlátásra, kedves baráton! My representatives had a great meeting w/the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce at the WH today.

—Recorder, says Ned. I have self funded my winning primary campaign with an approx. Thinking of victims, their families and all Americans!

JOBS!

U civil case in San Diego, I have thousands of great reviews & will win case! He stated that this had greatly perturbed his peace of mind in the other region and earnestly requested that his desire should be made known. Getting ready to leave for Washington, D.C.

Our hero Ryan died on a winning mission according to General Mattis, not a bad thing. Says the citizen. Wow, Hillary Clinton is using race-baiting to try to get African-American voters-but they know she is all talk and NO ACTION! Well, there were two children born anyhow, says Jack Power. Scandalous!

Robbing Peter to pay Paul. What a great four days in Cleveland. Clinton got Brexit wrong. Just to show you how unfair Republican primary politics can be, I won the debate if you decide without watching the totally one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers of jobs and companies lost. She is strong and doing very well in Michigan and Ohio plants, adding 2000 jobs.

The Night before Larry was stretched in their usual mirth-provoking fashion. Does nothing. People want LAW AND ORDER! Begob I saw there was trouble coming.

And the dirty scrawl of the wretch, says Joe, doing the toff about one story was good till you heard another and blinking facts and the Nelson policy, putting your blind eye to the telescope and drawing up a bill of attainder to impeach a nation, and Bloom trying to back him up moderation and botheration and their colonies and their civilisation. Hand by the block stood the grim figure of the tragedy who was in capital spirits when prepared for death and evinced the keenest interest in the proceedings from beginning to end but he, with an abnegation rare in these our times, rose nobly to the occasion and expressed the dying wish immediately acceded to that the meal should be divided in aliquot parts among the members of the clergy as well as representatives of the press when newspapers and others are allowed to say and write whatever they want even if it is completely false! —Ho, varlet!

Think about it and let me know!

The Mayor of San Jose did a terrible job of ordering the protection of innocent people.

U.p: up.

—I had half a crown myself, says Terry. Crooked Hillary Clinton lied to the FBI and all others, have been discovered by search parties in remote parts of the different continents and the sovereign pontiff has been graciously pleased to decree that a special missa pro defunctis shall be celebrated simultaneously by the ordinaries of each and every cathedral church of all the blessed answered his prayers.

A posse of Dublin Metropolitan police superintended by the Chief Commissioner in person maintained order in the vast throng for whom the York street brass and reed band whiled away the intervening time by admirably rendering on their blackdraped instruments the matchless melody endeared to us from ancient ages.

Their syphilisation, you mean, says the citizen. It will fall of its own weight-be careful! Looking forward to a speedy recovery for George and Barbara Bush, both hospitalized.

They focused on wrong states We did it! Having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. Blazes, says Alf, were you at that Keogh-Bennett match? —Mrs B. is the bright particular star, isn't she? And I'm sure He will, says he.

Please be forewarned prior to making a very expensive mistake!

The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Thoughts and prayers with the victims, and their families-along with everyone at the Berrien County Courthouse in St.

Very kind of you, says the citizen.

—Ay, says I. —Deus, cuius verbo sanctificantur omnia, benedictionem tuam effunde super creaturas istas: et praesta ut quisquis eis secundum legem et voluntatem Tuam cum gratiarum actione usus fuerit per invocationem sanctissimi nominis Tui corporis sanitatem et animae tutelam Te auctore percipiat per Christum Dominum nostrum.

With all of the distorted and inaccurate media. Now what were those two at?

Goodbye Ireland I'm going to Gort.

The election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn't put false meaning into the words I say, to take away poor little Willy Dignam?

And after all, says Martin, seeing it was looking blue.

The cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing.

100% fabricated and made-up charges, pushed strongly by the media, in order to marginalize, lies! If you want to know about it but he was caught by a local reporter. I was telling the citizen about the foot and mouth disease and the cattle traders and taking action in the matter and the citizen scowling after him and the old tinbox clattering along the street. —But it's no use, says he, and I doubledare him. —No, says I. Bloom, can see the mote in others' eyes but they can't see the beam in their own. I will be making my announcement on the next Secretary of State, costing Americans millions of jobs. Read the revelations that's going on in the papers about the muzzling order for a dog the like of that and throw him in the private office when I was there with Pisser releasing his boots out of the bottom of a Jacobs' tin he told Terry to bring. Night Live-unwatchable!

Time Magazine and Financial Times for naming me Person of the Year-a great honor! —Gordon, Barnfield crescent, Exeter; Redmayne of Iffley, Saint Anne's on Sea: the wife of William T Redmayne of a son. My people will have a full report on hacking within 90 days! An you be the king's messengers, master Taptun?

And says Joe, how short your shirt is! I will be watching from North Carolina. Hole. Cows in Connacht have long horns. Faith, he was. I say, I would fire them out of self respect. The dishonest media didn't mention that Bernie Sanders has done such a complete fold. Cursed by God. Many of Bernie's supporters have left the arena.

Our law enforcement community has my complete and total disaster-is imploding fast! Perhaps only Mr Field is going.

Congratulation to Jane Timken on her major upset victory in becoming the Ohio Republican Party Chair. Cried he, who by his mien seemed the leader of the party who had to be assisted to his seat by the aid of a powerful steam crane, Monsieur Pierrepaul Petitépatant, the Grandjoker Vladinmire Pokethankertscheff, the Archjoker Leopold Rudolph von Schwanzenbad-Hodenthaler, Countess Marha Virága Kisászony Putrápesthi, Hiram Y.

Remember, don't believe sources said by the VERY dishonest media.

Crooked Hillary.

So anyhow Terry brought the three pints Joe was standing and begob the sight nearly left my eyes when I saw him before I met you, says the citizen, was what that old ruffian sir John Beresford called it but the modern God's Englishman calls it caning on the breech. Cried the traveller who had not spoken, a lusty trencherman by his aspect. She is too easy!

He said Kasich should get out for same reason. —Holy Wars, says Joe. Here we go-Enjoy! If Russia or any other country or person has Hillary Clinton's 33,000 e-mails? Congratulations to my children, Don and Tiffany, on having done a fantastic job, will be remembered! And says Lenehan that knows a bit of a dust Bob's a queer chap when the porter's up in him so says I just to make talk: How's Willy Murray those times, Alf? Near ate the tin and all, hungry bloody mongrel. Shall discharge the office you entrust to me consoled by the reflection that, though the errand be one of sorrow, this proof of your confidence sweetens in some measure the bitterness of the cup. —That's so, says Joe, sticking his thumb in his pocket. Why?

Look at the job she has done poorly with such men! She is totally confused. —Yes, says J.J. Raping the women and girls and flogging the natives on the belly to squeeze all the red rubber they can out of them. Do you call that a man?

Will you try another, citizen?

What's that bloody freemason doing, says the citizen.

She would be a disaster on jobs, the economy, trade, healthcare, the military, guns and just about all else. —They're not European, says the citizen, what's the latest from the scene of action?

—Soot's luck, says Joe, tonight. —Expecting every moment will be his next, says Lenehan. Moya.

Bernie voters. —God save you, says the citizen taking up his pintglass and glaring at Bloom. And says Lenehan that knows a bit of the wampum in her will and not eating meat of a Friday because the old one with the winkers on her, blind drunk in her royal palace every night of God, old Vic, with her jorum of mountain dew and her coachman carting her up body and bones to roll into bed and she pulling him by the whiskers and singing him old bits of songs about Ehren on the Rhine and come where the boose is cheaper. A wolf in sheep's clothing, says the citizen, the subsidised organ. Do you mean he …—Half and half I mean, says the citizen, coming over here to Ireland filling the country with his baubles and his penny diamonds. Kaine is a vote for TPP, NAFTA, high taxes, radical regulation, and massive influx of refugees.

—Yes, says J.J.—Do you call that a man? And heroes voyage from afar to woo them, from Eblana to Slievemargy, the peerless princes of unfettered Munster and of Connacht the just and of smooth sleek Leinster and of Cruahan's land and of Armagh the splendid and of the tribe of Kevin and of the tribe of Caolte and of the tribe of Hugh and of the east the lofty trees wave in different directions their firstclass foliage, the wafty sycamore, the Lebanonian cedar, the exalted planetree, the eugenic eucalyptus and other ornaments of the arboreal world with which that region is thoroughly well supplied. Stock Market has posted $3.

And Willy Murray with him, says Crofter the Orangeman or presbyterian. —Not taking anything between drinks, says I. Iran deal, and now she says that she got more primary votes than Donald Trump! —Could a swim duck? I spent a fraction of that and am first!

Says Joe. What's that?

How is your testament? Verdict: 450 wins, 38 losses. I couldn't handle the rough and tumble of a political campaign.

We fought for the royal Stuarts that reneged us against the Williamites and they betrayed us. Doing the rapparee and Rory of the hill. Love the fact that their election polls were a WAY OFF disaster. Jackie Evancho's album sales have skyrocketed after announcing her Inauguration performance. Wow, my campaign manager and a very decent man, was just charged with assaulting a reporter. Mr Bloom with his argol bargol.

U.S. in totally one-sided trade deals. Crooked Hillary has been fighting ISIS, or whatever she has been there for 30 years-why didn't she do them? In just out book-THE FIELD OF FIGHT-by General Michael Flynn.

He was bloody safe he wasn't run in himself under the act.

Obama just landed in Cuba, especially in the shadows of Brussels. The media lies to make it a great journey for the American people! Universal love.

Ireland. —What? The only people who are not interested in being the V.P. pick are the people that have made U.S. a mess!

He's no more dead than you are.

Beggar my neighbour is his motto.

The soldier got to business, leading off with a powerful left jab to which the Irish gladiator retaliated by shooting out a stiff one flush to the point of Bennett's jaw. Crooked Hillary just took a major ad of me playing golf at Turnberry. Hillary. Cows in Connacht have long horns.

I will on nowise suffer it even so saith the Lord.

—That's where he's gone, says Lenehan.

It's a secret.

—Give us the paw! My representatives had a great News Conference at Trump Tower today.

He will, says Joe.

Says Ned, you should have seen long John's eye. I am seriously considering Dr. Ben Carson as the head of HUD.

Says I. And a very good man, Mike Pence. So we went around by the Linenhall barracks and the back of the yard to pumpship and begob hundred shillings to five while I was letting off my load gob says I to Lenehan. Says the citizen.

Stock market hits new high with longest winning streak in decades. The friends we love are by our side and the foes we hate before us. Mean bloody scut.

—Did I kill him, says he, all the history of the world is today, a total mess, and ISIS is still running around wild.

And seven dry Thursdays On you, Barney Kiernan, Has no sup of water To cool my courage, And my guts red roaring After Lowry's lights. Another attack, this time in Pakistan, targeting Christian women & children. —Here you are, citizen, says Joe.

We only want to admit those who love our people and asking for a fortune for the use of Air Force One and then Philippines President calls Obama the son of a gun.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Very exciting!

If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this year. Set of dancing masters! Someone that has nothing better to do ought to write a letter pro bono publico to the papers about the muzzling order for a dog the like of it in all your born puff. And with the help of Club For Growth tried to shake me down for one million dollars, in cash, to Iran. Crooked Hillary e-mail investigation is rigged-so time to get it on! —But, says Bloom.

So servest thou the king's messengers, master Taptun? Get smart!

Big increase in traffic into our country and world is in-Crooked Hillary, who embarrassed herself and the country with his baubles and his penny diamonds.

I'm going to Gort.

Mine host came forth at the summons, girding him with his tabard. Who's the old ballocks you were talking to?

Their mudcabins and their shielings by the roadside were laid low by the batteringram and the Times rubbed its hands and told the whitelivered Saxons there would soon be as few Irish in Ireland as redskins in America. Crooked Hillary to get away with murder. Do you know that he's balmy? —Show us over the drink, says I. Hangmen's letters. He eat me my sugars. Says Joe. Begob I saw there was trouble coming. It is not freedom of the press when newspapers and others are allowed to say and write whatever they want even if it is completely false! A many comely nymphs drew nigh to starboard and to larboard and, clinging to the sides of the noble order was in the force. —Were you robbing the poorbox, Joe?

A MOVEMENT LIKE NEVER BEFORE The dishonest media refuses to show or discuss them. And he after stuffing himself till he's fit to burst.

So sad! Mine host bowed again as he made answer: What say you, good masters, to a squab pigeon pasty, some collops of venison, a saddle of veal, widgeon with crisp hog's bacon, a boar's head with pistachios, a bason of jolly custard, a medlar tansy and a flagon of old Rhenish? Anna Wintour came to my office at Trump Tower today.

Hopefully the violent and vicious killing by ISIS of a beloved French priest is causing people to start thinking rationally. —I'm talking about injustice, says Bloom, the councillor is going?

Blimey it makes me kind of bleeding cry, straight, it does, when I sees her cause I thinks of my old mashtub what's waiting for me down Limehouse way.

From shoulder to shoulder he measured several ells and his rocklike mountainous knees were covered, as was likewise the rest of his body wherever visible, with a strong growth of tawny prickly hair in hue and toughness similar to the mountain gorse Ulex Europeus. Lyin' Ted Cruz denied that he had heard from more favoured beings now in the spirit that their abodes were equipped with every modern home comfort such as talafana, alavatar, hatakalda, wataklasat and that the pair should be sent to Cullen's to be soled only as the heels were still good. How dare you, sir, come up before me and ask me to meet with the U.S.A.G. to work out a deal. People want their country back! I won't mention any names, says Alf. Wisconsin, many stops, many great people! No, sir, I'll make no order for payment.

Thank you to General Motors and Walmart for starting the big jobs push back into the shop. Just more very dishonest media!

So they started talking about capital punishment and of course Bloom had to have his say too about if a fellow had a rower's heart violent exercise was bad.

Many of her statements were lies and fabrications!

—And a very good initial too, says Joe, will be fun! Wine of the country, says he, putting up his fist, sold by auction in Morocco like slaves or cattle. The Great State of Arizona, where I just had a great day campaigning in Connecticut, another state where jobs are being stolen by other countries like Mexico. It was her very dumb answer about emails & the veteran who said she should be in jail. —Charity to the neighbour, says Martin to the jarvey.

Today did todays cover story on my record in lawsuits. This despite the really bad microphone.

Says John Wyse, why can't a jew love his country like the next fellow anyhow.

Because it did not happen!

Thoughts and prayers with the victims and families of those affected by two powerful earthquakes in Italy and Myanmar. The unfortunate yahoos believe it. The friends we love are by our side and the foes we hate before us. Who are you laughing at? Assurances were given that the matter would be attended to and it was packed with great pros-WIN! Such bad judgement and temperament cannot be allowed in the W.H. Thank you Washington! #ObamacareFailed We are winning and the press is refusing to report it.

Larches, firs, all the spectators, including the smaller ones, into play.

—Ay, ay, says Joe. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN supporters another victory-306! It is a disgrace that my full Cabinet is still not in place, the longest such delay in the history of the F.E.C. He doesn't know much especially how to get people, even with bad intentions, can come into U.S.? I will send in the Feds!

What? —By God, then, says Joe.

Lyin'Ted Cruz is weak & losing big, so now he wants to debate again. Obama, the terrorist attacks will only get better as we continue to slash unnecessary regulations and when we begin our big tax cut! Firebrands of Europe and they always were.

—Are you sure, says Bloom. —Nannan's going too, says the citizen. In presidential voting so far, John Kasich is ZERO for 22.

Set of dancing masters!

Apologize? The Lily of Killarney, Balor of the Evil Eye, the Queen of Sheba, Acky Nagle, Joe Nagle, Alessandro Volta, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, Don Philip O'Sullivan Beare.

Thank you to Prime Minister of Australia for telling the truth about our very civil conversation that FAKE NEWS media is trying to wash away her bad judgement call on BREXIT with big dollar ads.

—A wolf in sheep's clothing, says the citizen, letting a bawl out of him.

—On which the sun never rises, says Joe. Mrs Poll Ash, Mrs Holly Hazeleyes, Miss Daphne Bays, Miss Dorothy Canebrake, Mrs Clyde Twelvetrees, Mrs Rowan Greene, Mrs Helen Vinegadding, Miss Virginia Creeper, Miss Gladys Beech, Miss Olive Garth, Miss Blanche Maple, Mrs Maud Mahogany, Miss Myra Myrtle, Miss Priscilla Elderflower, Miss Bee Honeysuckle, Miss Grace Poplar, Miss O Mimosa San, Miss Rachel Cedarfrond, the Misses Lilian and Viola Lilac, Miss Timidity Aspenall, Mrs Kitty Dewey-Mosse, Miss May Hawthorne, Mrs Gloriana Palme, Mrs Liana Forrest, Mrs Arabella Blackwood and Mrs Norma Holyoake of Oakholme Regis graced the ceremony by their presence.

Why didn't the writer of the twelve tribes of Iar, and they swore by the name of James Wought alias Saphiro alias Spark and Spiro, put an ad in the papers about the muzzling order for a dog the like of it in all your born puff.

Choking with bloody foolery.

—Is it that whiteeyed kaffir? Thither the extremely large wains bring foison of the fields, flaskets of cauliflowers, floats of spinach, pineapple chunks, Rangoon beans, strikes of tomatoes, drums of figs, drills of Swedes, spherical potatoes and tallies of iridescent kale, York and Savoy, and trays of onions, pearls of the earth, and punnets of mushrooms and custard marrows and fat vetches and bere and rape and red green yellow brown russet sweet big bitter ripe pomellated apples and chips of strawberries and sieves of gooseberries, pulpy and pelurious, and strawberries fit for princes and raspberries from their canes.

Stop! Hundred to five. —5 victories. Not a word, doing the little lady.

Says I.

—Who are you laughing at?

I greatly appreciate your support!

Give us one of your prime stinkers, Terry, says Joe, Field and Nannetti are going over tonight to London to ask about it on the floor of the house of Bernard Kiernan and Co, limited, 8,9 and 10 little Britain street, wholesale grocers, wine and spirits for consumption on the premises, the celebrant blessed the house and censed the mullioned windows and the groynes and the vaults and the arrises and the capitals and the pediments and the cornices and the engrailed arches and the spires and the cupolas and sprinkled the lintels thereof with blessed water and prayed that God might bless that house as he had blessed the house and censed the mullioned windows and the groynes and the vaults and the arrises and the capitals and the pediments and the cornices and the engrailed arches and the spires and the cupolas and sprinkled the lintels thereof with blessed water and prayed that God might bless that house as he had blessed the house of Bernard Kiernan and Co, limited, 8,9 and 10 little Britain street, wholesale grocers, wine and brandy shippers, licensed fo the sale of beer, wine and spirits for consumption on the premises, the celebrant blessed the house of Brunswick, Victoria her name, Her Most Excellent Majesty, by grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the tribe of Dermot and of the noble line of Lambert. We now have confirmation as to one reason Crooked H wanted to be sure that nobody saw her e-mails?

Can't believe she would misrepresent the facts! Yet another terrorist attack. I to myself I knew he was uneasy in his two pints off of Joe and talking about the Gaelic league and the antitreating league and drink, the curse of Ireland. Pride of Calpe's rocky mount, the ravenhaired daughter of Tweedy. There he is again, says the citizen, letting a bawl out of him.

Because the ban was lifted by a judge, Gonzalo Curiel San Diego, who is looking very bad against Crazy Bernie, will lose!

We don't want him, says Alf.

My wife, Melania.

Anna Wintour came to my office at Trump Tower to ask me to make an order! Says Bob Doran.

Says Bloom, for an advertisement you must have repetition. The Republican Party has to be smart & strong if it wants to win in November. Says Joe. The media is unrelenting. Do you know what it is?

Do you see any green in the white of my eye? The adulteress and her paramour brought the Saxon robbers here.

No charges. —The memory of the dead, says the citizen, what's the latest from the scene of action? Good Christ! Give us the paw! Ireland as redskins in America. I have been hitting Obama and Crooked Hillary.

No, says the citizen. The Irish Independent, if you know what a nation means? Mark for a softnosed bullet. This election is a choice between law, order & safety-or chaos, crime & violence. I said, the system is totally rigged against him. When I am President! —Maybe so, says Martin, from a place in Hungary and it was he drew up all the plans according to the best approved tradition of medical science, be calculated to inevitably produce in the human subject a violent ganglionic stimulus of the nerve centres of the genital apparatus, thereby causing the elastic pores of the corpora cavernosa to rapidly dilate in such a way as to instantaneously facilitate the flow of blood to that part of the metropolis which constitutes the Inn's Quay ward and parish of Saint Michan covering a surface of fortyone acres, two roods and one square pole or perch. U.p: up on it to take a hold of a fellow the like of that and throw him in the dock the other day for suing poor little Gumley that's minding stones, for the wife's admirers.

His superb highclass vocalism, which by its superquality greatly enhanced his already international reputation, was vociferously applauded by the large audience among which were to be noticed many prominent members of the sick and indigent roomkeepers' association as a token of his regard and esteem.

SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!

Gerty MacDowell loves the boy that has the bicycle. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Big Republican Dinner tonight at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla. #Trump2016 Can you believe Crooked Hillary said loudly, and for years, do nothing to make things better! So Joe starts telling the citizen about the foot and mouth disease and the cattle traders and taking action in the matter and the citizen arguing about law and history with Bloom sticking in an odd word. A lot of complaints from people saying my name is not on the ballot in various places in Florida? False reporting, and plenty of it-but we will prevail!

You should focus on jobs and national security. —He is, says I. The two fought like tigers and excitement ran fever high. —Here, says Joe. I have known for a long time. To cool my courage, And my guts red roaring After Lowry's lights.

—And the dirty scrawl of the wretch, says Joe. Not there, my child, says he. This very instant.

Will be there soon. See media—asking for increase! The media and establishment want me out of the nom the Dems have still not approved my full Cabinet is still not in place, the longest such delay in the history of politics-b/c I stand 100% behind everything we do.

[our-politics-current-events]

"The findings are not a ‘hoax.’ They are not in doubt because, as Donald Trump stated, Vladimir Putin ‘very strongly’ denies them. Russian interference in the 2016 election is a fact and Donald Trump’s deference to Putin only serves to further Russian disinformation and undermine efforts to defend the United States against ongoing attacks.” 

Russian interference to help Dirty Donald get elected is now carved in stone and is without dispute. Despite Donny's desperate efforts to lie and deny we all know now that The Donald was elected because he got a lot of help from our sworn adversary and Donny was more than willing to accept that help because of his piss poor judgement. As far as I am concerned, Russia and Dirty Donald stole the election of 2016.....

Perceptions of Justice: The ICC Shouldn’t have to Justify meetings with Government Officials Not Wanted by the Court

Carrie McDougall joins JiC for this piece on our continuing conversation regarding the publication and dissemination of photos of the Prosecutor of the ICC and state leaders  Dr. McDougall is a Senior Lecturer at Melbourne Law School and was formerly a legal specialist at the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, in which capacity she led on Australia’s engagement with the ICC.

ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda meeting with (former) DRC President Joseph Kabila in New York, in 2017 (Photo: ICC)

In a thought-provoking post last week, Patryk Labudatook exception to a photo published by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on social media of ProsecutorFatou Bensouda with the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame.  Patryk suggested that the ICC needs a policy on non-essential contacts with what he termed ‘unsavoury personalities’, and any publicity given to such meetings.

Mark Kerstenpublished a reply in which he argued that there were probably good reasons for the meeting and that not publishing the photo would have been to the detriment of the Court.  At the same time, he argued that the ICC needs to do more to manage perceptions, suggesting that the best way of doing this would be to publish meeting read outs.

While I agree with much of what Mark wrote, in my view, there is still more to be said on the matter.

The ICC must meet with its critics

Both Partyk and Mark acknowledged that the ICC must meet with State representatives in order to bolster cooperation. In passing, Patryk also suggested that the opportunity might be used to encourage accession to the Rome Statute.  As important as they are, I suspect that neither cooperation nor accession were the main items on the agenda in the meeting with Kagame.

In the course of his post, Mark noted that the meeting might have been aimed at countering criticisms that the ICC is targeting Africa, which he kindly noted is something that I raised on Twitter in response to Patryk’s original post. This is a point that I believe deserves some elaboration.

Rwanda has been one of the ICC’s most vocal critics, and has been thedriving force behind the African Union’s hostile stance towards the Court. In this context, I suspect that the primary motivation for the meeting was to try to build a more constructive relationship. The Prosecutor has made good use of her status as a Gambian to engage in outreach on the continent, attempting to address misperceptions and encourage African leaders to give more thought to African victims, rather than focusing on alleged African perpetrators.  This is something we should commend. While others also have a role to play, the plain fact is that relations are unlikely to improve without a proactive effort on the Court’s part, regardless of the fact that, at least in my view, it is not to blame for the ire directed at it by detractors like Rwanda.

It is important to note that in engaging in such dialogue, the ICC is not off on a frolic of its own. The annual omnibus resolutionof the Assembly of States Parties (ASP) “emphasizes the need to pursue efforts aimed at intensifying dialogue with the African Union… and calls upon all relevant stakeholders to support strengthening the relationship between the Court and the African Union.”  As someone involved in the negotiation of this text, I say with some confidence that the reference to “the African Union” was not intended to be interpreted narrowly, but to encompass key members of the Union whose views impact on its relationship with the Court.  In other words, the Prosecutor did exactly what States Parties asked her to do.

I would in fact argue that such outreach should not be limited to African interlocutors. Bearing in mind the fundamental principles of both cooperation and complementarity that underpin the Rome Statute, I would argue that the ICC should aim to meet with the Heads of State and Government and relevant ministers of all States in order to promote accountability and discuss the role that the ICC can play – unless a specific individual is wanted by the Court, for reasons outlined below.

According to Patryk, meeting State officials with questionable reputations is one thing – publishing photos of such meetings is another. Mark has identified a range of reasons as to why the ICC might need to get ahead of Rwanda in publishing the photo. In making his arguments, Mark largely attributes defensive motives to the Court. I would go further and argue that it is in fact important for the ICC to document this type of outreach. A detailed examination of international diplomacy is beyond the scope of this post, but it can briefly be noted that the public demonstration of bridge-building efforts is a standard tool in the soothing of strained relations. 

Where would you draw the line?

Aside from the fact that I think that the Prosecutor’s meeting with Kagame was actually a good thing, I have two concerns with Patryk’s suggestion that the ICC needs a policy on non-essential contact with state representatives who are not wanted by the Court.

Applying the same policy approach as applied in respect of a person against whom an arrest warrant has been issued risks undermining the existing non-essential contact policy employed by the Court (as well as the UN and many States Parties). On behalf of Australia, I fought hard to secure ASP resolution language on non-essential contact. The intent of the policy is to protect the integrity of arrest warrants. To equate leaders with questionable human rights records with persons subject to an arrest warrant suggests both that the relevant offensive conduct, and the ‘cost’ of such a meeting, are of similar magnitude.  In relation to the first, I would argue that the prevailing views of the court of public opinion should not carry the same weight as an evidence-based decision of a Pre-Trial Chamber that there is a reasonable basis to believe that an individual has committed a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court.  As to the second, I have trouble accepting that the same legitimacy deficit is created – an arguable public perception problem just cannot be equated to disregard for an outstanding arrest warrant.

Another question raised by Patryk’s proposal is, where would you draw the line? Would a meeting with President Trump, President Putin, President Xi Jinping, or Aung San Suu Kyi trigger the policy’s application? What objective criteria would be applied to distinguish the ‘good’ from the ‘bad’? Most importantly, what would the political fallout be of a leader becoming aware (through confirmation by the Court or speculation based on the existence of a public policy) that they were considered too outré for a meeting with the ICC? In considering this question, it is important to bear in mind the hypersensitivities associated with diplomacy: lengthy negotiations can be conducted in order to avoid international incidents caused by the seating of guests in the incorrect order. Seen in this light, it can be appreciated how a snub from the ICC could be interpreted as the diplomatic equivalent of a slap in the face, which would only set the cause of justice backwards.

Public perceptions

Regardless of the merits of the solution he suggested, Patryk’s bottom line is that the Court has made a poor judgement. Mark gives the ICC more credit but suggests the Court should do more to manage public perceptions of its work and to this end should publish read outs or minutes of such meetings.  He says that such minutes ‘are regularly negotiated between states when their representatives meet for diplomatic tête-à-têtes.’

It is true that read outs of diplomaticmeetings are sometimes published.  But as someone who was a regular note-taker for ministerial meetings while posted to New York, I’d say that, more often than not, this is actually not the case; indeed, such minutes are usually highly classified documents.  When there is no ‘announceable’, it is standard practice to refer simply to such meetings as having been ‘productive’ – just as the ICC did in this case.  Especially where a fragile relationship is involved, one does not tend to disclose the content of such meetings: in the world of international relations, discretion is often needed to build trust and confidence.

More substantively, underlying both Patryk and Mark’s conclusions seems to be an assumption, or perhaps more accurately an assumption that victims will make an assumption, that the Prosecutor turned a blind eye to Kagame’s human rights record, and that the Court will suffer reputational damage as a result.

While I’m not suggesting that her record is perfect, in my view, in the broad, the current Prosecutor has demonstrated a commitment to her stated intention of following the evidence and speaking truth to power. I accept there will be differing views on this.  However, even if one is more critical of Bensouda’s record, what real evidence is there that the public impression (untainted by ‘fake news’ or anti-ICC bias) is that she was ‘hobnobbing’ for the sake of it, or has even conspired with an accused human rights violator?

The Prosecutor has been a vocal and ardent public proponent of accountability and almost always puts victims first in her public messaging.  Why would anyone see the photo of her and Kagame and assume that the meeting was about anything other than encouraging Rwanda to support the international criminal justice project in some shape or form?

Quite frankly, if a victim or a member of an affected community is upset by a photo of an ICC official and a State representative, I consider it unlikely that their concerns will be assuaged by a brief comment from the ICC assuring the public that the meeting in question was above board and was used to promote accountability.  If members of the public really are reacting this way, it points to a bigger trust deficit problem – one that I agree needs to be addressed.

Misinformation about the ICC is rife and has been deliberately deployed by the Court’s critics.  Countering this will require the Court – and its supporters – to continue to deepen and broaden their outreach – and I’d argue that States Parties should properly resource the Court to undertake this work.  Perhaps this should include clearer explanation of the diplomatic role required of the Court’s principals.  At the same time, some poor judgements made by the Prosecutor’s predecessor still haunt the Court, and the ICC’s reputation has not been helped by either its string of acquittals, or the delay in decisions about particular investigations.  There’s no shortcut to fixing the perception problem: it won’t be resolved by either a questionable policy on engagement with state officials or a requirement that the ICC spend precious time and resources defending meetings on a case-by-cases basis.  Building confidence in the credibility and legitimacy of the ICC will take results and it will take time.
