Comment Section:
Here is my example with WFTD.
A venerable commentator on politics has passed on. She has been lovingly eulogized by many.
No pushing at the door please!
sorry for the late start, I’m behind the 8 ball this AM.
That’s okay. We still venerate you...............
The left is so doggone miserable
It makes anyone on the right vulnerable
There is no debate
It’s white men they hate
They don’t even hold the constitution venerable
Aw thanks : )
but that’s cheap homework and you can do better!
A++++ Tom Perez exhibit A of hateful miserable leftist, out screeching profanity in speeches.
“I feel the need for screed!” said The Venerable Bede................
However hallowed the reputation,
Or how venerable the institution,
However lofty their high station,
Or profound their elocution,
If they excel in instigation,
And foment revolution,
It’s OK to shut ‘em down,
But stay true to the Constitution.
A+++
that was just excellent. A++++
The venerable administration of President Donald Trump will long be held in comparison to that of the bad, discreditable, disgraceful, dishonorable, disreputable, ignominious, infamous, loose, notorious, shameful; immoral, seamy, shadowy, shady, sordid, unsavory, vile, wicked; base, contemptible, despicable, detestable, dirty, low, mean, wretched administration of former President Barack Obama.
Rather venerate our venerable conservative spokespeople, today’s national press corpse is intent on only attacking their vulnerable public and never-private lives, seeking venal issues while ignoring the constant hypocrisy of their chosen masses of liberal venial and mortal sins!
excellent summary! A+++
A+++ and they’re bawling bc Trump is having a rally in PA on the same night as the Correspondents dinner. They should stay and party amongst themselves, not a single person would miss them at the rally, least of all Trump.
“Reverend Fathers, Venerable Monastics, and Pious Faithful of the Western American Diocese: Christ is Risen!”

We Americans also may call long-serving and elderly Senators “venerable”. “Venerable” would not, however, apply to the traitor Ted Kennedy were he still alive, nor does it apply to the demented Dim Nancy Pelosi!!!!
Actually I decided on this word last night at Mass, during the Eucharist, when the priest spoke of Christ’s venerable hands.
A+++
I believe the Trump administration will achieve greater and greater veneration throughout the history of our Constitutional republic. He will be favorably compared to Washington, Lincoln, and FDR. Donald Trump will be one of the country’s truly great presidents.
