Worst job in the world:

Having to bring Trump his covfefe in the morning and telling him that Georgia is lost.
It would be a good basis for one of those Hitler parodies...

This is a class above the "suppurating rectum" type insult:
Swearing In

by Carol Ann Duffy


Combover, thatch-fraud, rug-rogue, laquer-lout;
twitter-rat, tweet-twat, tribe-gob, muckspout.

Sleaze-serf, poke-knave, bribe-berk*, bedswerver;
hand-mangler, kids-mitts, thumb-sucker, fist-jerker.

News-maggot, lie-monger, tongue-trickster, crap-grubber;
smell-feast, guzzle-chops, snout-linger, burger-blubber.

Tie-treader, tan-faker, draft-dodger, piss-douse;
fraud-hawker, golf-plonker, bigot-merchant, shite-louse.

Mandrake Mymmerkin^, welcome to the White House.



*berk = fool, prat, twit - in Cockney means cunt
^Mymmerkin = A deformed or freakish person or a dwarf creature (Scottish English)
Duffy wrote the poem using the Old English poet format of kenning.
A kenning is a compound word with a metaphorical meaning: example: oar-steed = ship

So, with Trump gone who's going broke? I'd love to see web traffic trends among media sites a year or two from now, especially those that have been built on Trump's bullshit.

The far right loon media will probably only see more traffic as Trump's fraud claim gains traction, while left leaning sites fall off the map, thus ensuring a strong Republican showing for years to come...
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

Left leaning sites will not fall off the map. There'll be heaps of mileage in criticising neoliberal, sleepy Joe and every component of the Democrat administration. I am confident they'll miss no chance of holding their feet to the fire.

The low Democrat turnout following a win like this suggest some drop in interest. I'm wondering if the absence of Trump will show up as a multiplier of sorts for that.
