Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

Lets hope that with the flushing of the communist effluvia in Cuba that some measure of liberty may be restored.

No pushing at the door please!

True: And the rest of the flew-over land repeated that FUDC spirit many times. But Hillary’s national press corpse just continues to spew their effluvia out their collective cloaca’s.

Harvard has especially noxious effluvia these days, between Jill Stein and what’s-his-name from the Law School, who wants the Electoral College to give the election to Crooked Hillary.

I’m a Harvard alumnus, and according to Kellyanne Conway, a “major league Trump supporter”. So I am not amused!!!!

Despondent Lefties are swallowing Libriums
And dreaming of Hillary back on the podiums
Haven’t they read
The Clintons are dead
And that body politic is giving off effluviums

The Ohio news is startling. Glad he was shot dead within a minute. Let that be a lesson to the rest of them.

I’m waiting for the libs to claim he was a peaceful guy, just using a knife and the mean old police shot him with an evil gun

The white guy with gun narrative fell flat pretty fast, but he may not be black either.....if the pic I saw in twitter is correct, he looks white. We shall see.

They are reporting he’s a Somali with a knife. Sounds like the MO of the religion of peace.
