  2. Ricky poleaxed the Hollywood hypocrite-scold-demagogues who for decades from the eyrie provided by the progressive zeitgeist, preached the Gramascian gospel to we unwashed.

    It would seem, that Ricky correctly assumes that the miasmatic wind up so high, is provided by insufferable, ineffectual gasbags and the nest if full of bird shit.

    Lefty’s neurasthenia, evidenced by this latest proffering, is a comfort to those who hope for a return to common sense and a national compos mentis. For the communal psychosis, endured by poor, blinkered lemmings like Lefty, there is hope. Ricky’s opening monologue, on continuous replay, ala “A Clockwork Orange” might get Lefty back from the edge.

    Ricky slew some holier-than-thou dragons last Sunday night.

    Most of the ‘luminaries’ subsequently avoided the tiger trap Ricky set for them, in plain view. You could hear the sounds of rending paper as Hollywood ‘stars’ reached into their pockets, crumpled up, or tore up speeches (Polemics) designed to enlighten we swine in anticipation of our pearls. The resulting lack of preparation was endemic as very few ‘stars’ had speeches that made any sense at all. Like DeNiro, when there are no cue cards and writers to bail him out, they looked, sounded and were, indeed foolish, flummoxed and unprepared.

    The notable exception, was Patricia Arquette. If tits were brains, she would be John Milton. As it turns out, nice tits are no correlation, or, causation when it comes to IQ and her rant on “Climate Change” had no effect on an American paradise that still, might not be lost.

    Thanks Ricky, there is hope.

    1. Put. down. the. thesaurus.

      Yeah, I’m talking to you chuck. All you’re doing with that thing is making yourself sound silly. You’re not impressing anyone with your million-dollar college words. It’s just not the way into your reader’s heart.

      I get what you’re doing it. I used to love using my thesaurus. Using long sentences with big beautiful sounding words made me feel intellectual. But really, all it was doing was making me sound like I was trying too hard. And obviously, I was. And frankly so are you.

      So here’s the trick to actually sounding smart chuck - stop trying to sound smart!

      I get that you want to sound smart, but what you’re doing is the exact opposite.

      Your readers can't tell the difference between to, two and too for christ's fucking sake.

  7. The Marlboro neighborhood has had tens of millions of dollars spent on it over the last four years, tearing down shit loads of houses, new streets, sewers and water lines, tons of rain water runoff areas that look really nice and now they consider it a blighted area? What the hell did we waste all that money for the ? Should’ve left the place alone if all the city did was make it worse!

  8. Looks like there’s a bunch of fake news people eating crow, Trump was right all along about Iran and the shooting down of an airliner, the people of Iran are even protesting. The dimwits should’ve gotten on board but instead they went the complete opposite direction and now look even more ignorant then they have since he became president. All my President does is just win baby! Hahahahaha!

    MAGA! KAG! Trump 2020!

  11. I agree, chuck is an insecure dummy. He knows the majority of readers to this blog are Trumpkins. That means they can’t think for themselves. They have to be told what to think, do when they see big words, they think that person must be smart! Wrong! Chuck is so dumb that he still has to work at his advanced age! He knows people NEVAR listen to him, and frankly pass him by on the street, so he gets a thesaurus out and writes run-on sentences with ten cent words. Most of us who don’t shit our pants and watch Faux News exclusively know a fraud when we see it. Chuck’s the biggest fraud of them all!!!
