Wanted: someone to head up a much-needed group called halt-right.

Secretary of State? -- Just for the record. Rudy Giuliani doesn't have any relations, international or otherwise.
He's a classic narcissist...just like the other one.

The best thing about this whole God-forsaken Election being over is that we American citizens get our lives back. We had been kidnapped and tortured for something on the order of two years. The strains have been unbearable and the torment to our psyches, spirits, souls, hearts and minds has been on the order of anything that most of have ever endured while on this planet.

Perhaps this is one year when many, many of us can truly say, "Just in time for Christmas." Fortunately we have sort of a Superfecta with Christmas, Hanukah, Boxing Day and Kwanzaa all happening on the 25th and 26th Of December. If we ever needed some Holiday Cheer, it is in the Holidays of 2016.

From the category bad taste protest songs re the removal of the Trump name

Tune of Down by the Riverside

We're gonna take off the Donald's name
140 Riverside (3x)
Right here on Riverside

We don't wanna honor him any more (6x)

Right here on Riverside

WHERE ARE THE BROLLIES OF YESTERYEAR?

Ten roll-ups, one pearl-handed
(My great-grandfather made it),
Six canes and thirteen foldups--
You name it, I've mislaid it.

Therapy dogs to cope with the election sound like a good idea.

Tune of Que Sera Sera

When we elected Donald Trump
I asked my doggie what lies ahead
Should we be moving or just stay put
Here's what my doggie said

Hey so what, so what
There's no need to be distraught
Now let's see the food you bought
Hey so what so what

When we were watching all those Trumps
When they were talking on CBS
I asked my dog if he had advice
He barked and told me yes

Hey so what so what
What they said to Lesley Stahl
Will change soon so throw the ball
Hey so what so what
Let's just play and eat
Hey so what so what

"Hints of the holidays"? LOL. I was unable to buy Halloween candy two days before Halloween because the supermarket had changed to Xmas candy and decorations. And the Thanksgiving tableware and decorations had been put away with the Halloween items.

There will be some tit-for-tat later. Christmas is on a Sunday this year, so on that Saturday, Dec 24th, the pharmacies will have put out Valentines Day boxes and cards. Their is no grass growing under the feet of commerce!
