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".
Prima Donna
Noun
2. a temperamental person; a person who takes adulation and privileged treatment as a right and reacts with petulance to criticism or inconvenience.
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.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....

I was stunned they killed Emma too - and we discussed that the new “tyrant” would be Barry - unleashing his revenge but it looked by the end of this episode like he was going to turn back into a shrinking liberal from california
“racists in the north”
The first time I experienced an ethnic slur I was 8-a neighbor kid called me Meskin when a bunch of us kids were playing at a neighborhood park-my dad was stationed at Chanute, so we were in Rantoul, Ill...
Guess who the prima donna is having speak tonight:

Further proof that the DNC has been a travesty.
I had him pegged as the new tyrant, too after what he did-that was cold-I hope he doesn’t start squeaking like a mouse-if he is going to do that he will get the rest of his family killed just like Emma was-so he may as well just let the elections fall where they will and go back to Cali-at least they could stay alive...
Only one-couldn’t they find a few more freaks and emotionally disturbed individuals to praise their nominee?
I didn’t say that.
But I am not aware of such tests being used in the north. Which was my point.
Sounds like our webber, but ours has hinged wings on the upper rack to open to tend the fire. We use a chimney to light the charcoal. No lighter fluid needed. Works great.
Love the dog story! LOL
A++++
Maybe Angie fell for Obama and is trying to win his approval. Makes as much sense as anything.
NICE!
That is what I said last night - take the money and run! I think he and his wife will drift farther apart and he will take in the pretty Muslim woman (can you tell I can’t recall names?) and end up fighting his best friend for her affections.
Thank you!
I told the neighbor he should do a video of his dog snarling when he says “Hillary, Hillary!” and plays her cackle and bark, and send it to the Trump campaign-I think it would be hilarious, especially since a Bullmastiff is a big badass guard dog-not a little Chihuahua-and this one is a female-even a real bitch doesn’t like a bitch like Hillary...
I think Angie is married-but maybe she is so annoying that her husband would be pleased if she directed her attentions to another guy...
I’m sure he still wants her-but she is getting in deep with his friend-and since Molly is understandably freaking out over everything right now, it wouldn’t be a good idea to go there-she has a temper...
He really should take Molly and the son and get the hell out of Dodge before the kid gets caught with some guy and killed-take as much cash as they can get transferred into a stateside account and not look back-but of course that would spoil the storyline, even if it does make the most sense...
Yes, de facto versus de jure discrimination. Many areas around here are still patterened after such de facto discrimination. No one would sell a house to a black in certain neighborhoods.
I didn’t mean to imply that racism is a southern only thing, just that when it is done in a de jure way, it hinders and taints the law in a way that the hypocrisy of de facto racism doesn’t
I know - it just gets old when some people act as if northern states were angelic in the discussion
Agreed
I don’t know if the writers intended it when the series started, but it’s becoming a sort of allegory of American/western involvement in the Islamic world. You want to bring tolerance and democracy but you eventually end up wanting to kill them just for a sense of order.
You even have Molly as a sort of American lefty conscience. She’s all weepy over the death and destruction that we have been forced to mete out.
Good point
That is so true-maybe the script writers will have the series characters figure out that you can’t bring tolerance and democracy to people who still think it is the 7th century-that would be refreshing-I just wish the real America/western world would figure it out, too. There is really no point in trying to drag people like that kicking and screaming into the civilized world now-maybe in another 200 years or so...
Apparently, there are only two ways to deal with the Islamic world where the extremists run amok, use civilians for human shields on a regular basis, etc-quarantine them by forbidding travel to their countries, business deals, any money, etc until they learn to behave like humans-maybe that will keep the other way of dealing with them-killing them for a sense of order-from becoming necessary...
