good list, X-R. may I add one more:
“he’s not my type”
I’m going with number two since that best reflects what is happening at the G20.
Alas, I screwed up #10, which was meant to be Trouble, Treason and Trump
Mr Flatus, I’m leaning toward slightly toward Warren right now. I like her passion, but fear that she might seem like a scold. She, Klobuchar and Harris are all eminently qualified, as you put it. And, their values align with mine. To “balance” the ticket, a Harris candidacy would best pick a running mate who projects masculine*, white, and either from a big purple-ish Midwestern or Southeastern state. A “balanced” Klobuchar or Warren ticket could be a guy from anywhere, preferably a big purple-ish state.

Ms Pat,
Consider it added.
Maybe I should add, # 12 Don’t Vote For The Rapist
Ooh, ooh…number 3. Gotta figure how to work obstruction in….
those bumper stickers reminded me that it’s time again to pull out my tee shirt that declares “DITCH MITCH”.
glad I kept it around
Bill reacts to the first round of Democratic primary debates in his Real Time monologue.
Make America Good Again
With the right tune XR you could weave them all into a nice little ditty
Orange man
don’t act right
It goes like a song indeed…….
1…/4…/1…/5…
1…/4…/1.5./1…
simple “dum-chenk” rhythmn 4/4
bridge:
4…/1…/2…/5…
1…/4…/1.5./1…
This rhythm
Matter of fact, same chord changes too…..”traditional”. Free ride.
Reckon you could give Fred Rose half credit if you really wannered to.
sturge, I heard x-r’s list substituting the verse (not chorus of course) in lennon’s
at least the drum beat seems to fit when reading the list
The ear is a wonderful thing…….
Can’t hear this song anymore without thinking of Colorado Bob since he created the Bear-A-Tones for the annual Dona Nobis Pacem
XR, do you mean somebody like Jon Tester?
flatus, maybe bullock would also qualify for x-r’s alternate slot. bet the montana gov rolls his sleeves up and wears cowboy boots now and then.
from des moines register:
Presidential candidate Steve Bullock was in an Iowa TV studio Wednesday, fielding questions from voters instead of debating his Democratic rivals on a Miami stage.
“Instead of trying to get three minutes, I’m actually going to talk for 40 minutes with the first voters who will actually decide this,” 222 days from now, said the Montana governor, who was locked out of the first Democratic presidential debate for 20 candidates.

I really like #3.
If I had to pick a white guy to be VP… I like Tim Ryan of Ohio and Michael Bennett of Colorado.
They are all good and so true
x-r, how white does the guy on your alternate ticket have to be? consider this from a 2012 story on cory in the root:
Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker, with his fair skin and blue eyes, had long wondered about his heritage. He learned the truth when he appeared on an episode of the new PBS series Finding Your Roots With Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
In Booker’s episode Gates, The Root’s editor-in-chief, talks him through the findings of his genealogy test. His lineage was traced back to his maternal great-grandfather, who had long been a mysterious figure in the Booker family.
“I found so many histories about my family that I didn’t know. It really was an incredible gift,” Booker told The Root at the screening.
In 2002 the Booker family found a handwritten memoir from the mayor’s maternal grandfather, Limuary Jordan. In it, Jordan wrote about visiting a doctor with his mother as a young boy. As they left, Jordan’s mother revealed that the doctor was actually his father. He was white.
Gates did some digging and uncovered the truth, which he revealed to Booker and his family. “It’s just amazing to see the mix that goes on to make me who I am,” Booker said. His varied ancestry includes slaves, slave owners, Native Americans and Confederate soldiers, and he finds his unique background astonishing, calling the complexity of his heritage a “wonderful reality.” “We’re more intertwined than we think,” he said.

from wonkette : Former Arizona Senator and Marlboro Man Jeff Flake emerged from retirement to denounce a president who has flagrantly defied the all norms and traditions Americans hold dear. That president is not Donald Trump, who was recently accused of rape … again. No, Flake is upset somehow with Jimmy Carter, peanut farmer and humanitarian. Carter was speaking yesterday at a human rights conference in Virginia when he remarked that Trump was “put into office because the Russians interfered.” He believes a full investigation will show that Trump didn’t actually win in 2016. This presidential trash talk, based on facts, horrified Flake. [read flake tweet here] Trump is a credibly accused rapist, so we’re fine with people saying “awful things” about him. The president isn’t even a rapist whose election was on the up and up. There’s compelling evidence his campaign cheated to win or at best passively and eagerly accepted help from a hostile foreign power. That does not spell legitimate or even “relief” to us. This is why a malignant narcissist like Trump became president in the first place. It guaranteed him a lifetime of respect and deference he never earned. He didn’t just steal the presidency. He stole a peerage. Flake thinks it’s more appropriate for Carter to argue against Trump’s re-election. Carter’s almost 95 years old. He doesn’t have time to create Power Point presentations explaining to people why rapists are not presidential material. Besides, Carter lost re-election himself. All he did was confess to… Read more »

A recurring theme in many of these western movies is where a fancy dressing swift talking riff-raff and his band of hooligans take over a town, robbing trains, stages, banks, whatever, and it takes a good man with a gun to come in and clean it up cause they’d done killed the sheriff, making it a place where decent god-fearing folks can do business and prosper.

A hat tip to Ms Bronc
Mr Sturgeone,
Thanks for the advice on putting the words to music, but I haven’t clue about that. It’s just one of many topics about which I am utterly clueless – like astronomy. Otherwise I’d be as famous as Neil DeGrasse Tyson and as rich as Barry Manilow. Or, vice versa.
sigh
Just play that Roly poly song but say your words to it.
Ms Pat,
Flake Fake.
Btw, howzabout : FLAKE NEWS to denote any ripper/russian agitprop ? So, bratbiter, tass, drudge, fox, WaTi, stormcrow, gateway pundit, WaEx, pravda, sinclair, outrage inc, zero hedge, rt, NYpo, the sun, the daily coughlin, clear channel, etc, etc, etc.
Last night James Garner was playing Randolf Scott’s sidekick, kind of a Jethro character but without the ignorance.
Which One?
