If Amazon ships something in a skinny cardboard box, you have to execrate things a loooong time to strengthen it to a solid wooden container.

When the Left attempts to execrate President Trump,
All they are capable of is expectorating a spew of excreta.

I am more familiar with the adjective form of the word “execrable.” It describes the enemies of our Republic.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz maintains that all Muslim immigrants are honest America loving folk; it must be just her bad luck that to prove her point she hired Pakistani spies and criminals who execrate and steal from the USA.

Congress is so execrated, they should be re-crated and sent elsewhere.
