Frumps Up His Gump

Will our new insurance pay us back for the stolen pension monies?
*
alec dreck wrote a bad check
talked out of the side of his neck,
would steal a bushel or a peck,
and
in his wake, leaves a big fat wreck.

But that was then and this is now. Now the Article V Handbook is offered up by the "grasping barbarians exercising crude political power."

mr one under trump
with a natural hair clump
and that problem from one mump
desires the face on a stump
we think he needs a double dare bump
before time totally frumps up his gump.

Mortals Hath Possessed

Forgotten Books is the "world's largest online library with 484,473 books available on demand."

How about "Jefferson and His Colleagues A Chronicle of the Virginia Dynasty" or "The Chaldean Account of Genesis" or . . .

George Washington wrote a letter in 1788 to his friend, the Marquis de Lafayette. He wrote of the merits of the proposed U.S.Constitution and said there were some real defects, but they were not radical and he would not touch upon them at that time. Here is a part of it.


    . . . With regard to the two great points (the pivots on which the whole machine must move) my Creed is simple:
   1st -- That the general Government is not invested with more Powers than are indispensably necessary to perform the functions of a good Government; and, consequently, that no objection ought to be made against the quantity of Power delegated to it:
   2ly -- That these Powers (as the appointment of all Rulers will forever arise from, and, at short stated intervals, recur to the free suffrage of the People) are so distributed among the legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches, into which the general Government is arranged, that it can never be in danger of degenerating into a monarchy, an Oligarchy, an Aristocracy, or any other despotic or oppressive form; so long as there shall remain any virtue in the body of the People.
   I would not be understood my dear marquis to speak of consequences which may be produced, in the revolution of ages, by corruptions of morals, profligacy of manners, and listlessness for the preservation of the natural and unalienable rights of mankind; nor of the successful usurpations that may be established at such an unpropitious juncture, upon the ruins of liberty, however, providently guarded and secured, as these are contingencies against which no human prudence can effectually provide. It will at least be a recommendation to the proposed Constitution that it is provided with more checks and barriers against the introduction of tyranny, and those of a nature less liable to be surmounted, than any government hitherto instituted among mortals, hath possessed. . .

Very Trying

SAMMY THE TOE SAYS GO VOTE BECAUSE VOTING IS A GO!
Thanks, Sammy

When your 3 favorite people are King George III, Paul Goebbels,
and whoever slips you the most cash, fantastically great things
can be accomplished, right?

The following words are from The Declaration of Independence of
July 4, 1776. The words refer to King George III, the German king of England. The funny part is that the words also apply to the party of John Boehner, Lindsey Graham, Jeff Sessions, Mitch McConnell and whoever is currently running the state of Michigan.
Substitute  "They have" for "He has":


He has refused his Assent to Laws,
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing Importance, unless suspended in their Operation till his Assent should be obtained;
He has dissolved Representative Houses
He has refused for a long Time, after such Dissolutions, to cause others to be elected;
He has endeavoured to prevent the Population of these States; for that Purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their Migrations hither,
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone,
He has erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People,
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our Laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended legislation:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with Power to legislate for us in all Cases whatsoever.
He has excited domestic Insurrections amongst us,

In the U.S. Constitution it says "no religious test." The 5 radical supreme Court judges are very trying.
