................It’s FRIDAY!...................

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “Word for the Day”.

COTERIE

CO-TE-RIE

noun plural noun: coteries

1. A circle of people who associate with one another.

The new junior employee joined our merry after-hours coterie.

Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.

The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day........

Sadly, I would have been kicked out of most “higher learning” facilities for that sentence.

Freedom Trail...by LTOS(5/12/17)

When one lives in Boston
It’s very difficult to avoid
The coteries of lefties
That clot, like milk that cloyed
On each historic corner
That once inspired me
The cradle of our fathers
Who fought for Liberty.
The ancient pious churches
Where Freedom once was preached
The Peaceful Boston Common,
Once a Venue for free Speech,
Has now become a platform
For those who would despoil
The Republic than Good men gave us,
Through their Blood, Their Sweat, and Toil.

The coterie of long-serving Congress members, lobbyists, activists, academics, liberal judges, etc. that constitutes the Washington swamp is doing everything possible to resist and bring down our new President and his Administration!!!!!

Drain the swamp!!!!

Hillary, surrounded by her coterie of sycophants, was ready for her coronation speech when the dream she had pursued all her political life, was crushed by a strong band of deplorables....

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

It doesn’t take a notary
To realize that a coterie
Of illegals voting
For democrats, doting
Can turn an election, rotary

[Red Badger]

That would be a badge of honor....................

[Red Badger]

Praise the Lord for His Mercy upon us!.......A+++!...................

[Red Badger]

Well said!..........A+++!......................

Certain coteries are irredeemable, MSM, Leftists, and late night comedians chief among them.

[Red Badger]

Word for the day haiku:

The da**ed DNC
is a foulmouthed coterie
doomed to f***ing fail.

[Red Badger]

Okaaaay...........A+!.................

This was of course inspired by recent speeches by Tom Perez, Chairman of one of the great and enduring American political parties, following in the footsteps of dignified Democrat orators like Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy by lacing his speeches with curses and obscenities.

The Weekly Standard has a nice parody of this here.

There is a certain illogical dotery
To the Dem Dud the Loser Hillary
Who blamed the Russians and Comey
Who she asserted was Trump’s Homey
Now he’s a protected part of the Dem Coterie.

Hard to keep up with the Dem’s crazed prattle. I think Hillary is busy scrubbing more emails since Comey was fired. Maybe a real FBI g man will finally arrest her.
