As well he should. It is in the nature of women to dominate men with their wiles.

Today’s news readers are stubbornly clinging to their Grapes, grass, and Grabasses (to subvert a phrase Obola used) as they refuse to acknowledge Hillary lost because of, well - Hillary’s crimes and incompetence. A%%es repeating lies in front of a TV camera with muliebrity enthusiasm.

It is in the nature of women to dominate men with their wiles.

And Man knows it! Knows, moreover, that the Woman that God gave him
Must command but may not govern -- shall enthral but not enslave him.
And She knows, because She warns him, and Her instincts never fail,
That the Female of Her Species is more deadly than the Male.

— Rudyard Kipling (1911)

Obama enjoys his celebrity
Which he wields with a true muliebrity
He reigned like a king
Such an arrogant thing
Lacking even one drop of integrity

Perfectly stated. Hillary does use her wiles, such as they are, to her advantage, such as it is.

Word sounds more like a description of a celebrity acting like a jackass.

Babblings Streisand, Rosie O'Donut, Leonardo Dickaprio, Michael Mooreofme, and a long list of other clueless twits.

Muliebrity plagued Obama’s years
With Trump we don’t have those fears
He fires the incompetent
With a certain bon vivant
Not at all politically correct amid jeers.

I just love how naïve Trump can be about this stuff. He just acts without worrying about how things look. Just that it’s the right thing to do. Somehow it all works out for him. Comey had to go. His latest public testimony exposed him for the jerk he is. Sad, but true. I shouted at my TV to fire him already. Glad Trump did.

Very well stated. We seem to have a president whose virility is not questioned, even by his enemies.

Five-syllable word for the day haiku:

Melania Trump
shows her muliebrity,
unlike the Wookie.

Watching Judicial appointment hearings on C-Span this AM. Neither Diane Feinstein, nor Amy Klobucher, display any form of muliebrity, much less common sense, in their questioning of the nominees. Indeed, they are trying to hijack the hearings into to a witch hunt over yesterday’s firing of James Comey.

Femininity consists of more,
Than what can be injected,
Or provided by a surgeon,
Or by language that’s deflected.
When oh when will people learn,
That our magic muliebrity
Can not be bought, stolen, or earned
Or obtained by “self-identity”.
