My garden is immured by a cinder block wall between 5 and twelve feet tall.
Guess I should ping people.
It’s important that we immure the country from threats outside of our borders and cast out those who wish to do us harm from within.
“Nice marmot.”
A haiku:
Immure Hillary
The treason must be contained
Immure Huma, too!
I just got an email from a former colleague/friend who works in a diff ofc now. he is a lib, NYC jewish, etc. but we managed to have a respectful friendship. He is terrified and they are considering leaving the country or at least moving far from DC. I am really shocked. I am asking in a kind way exactly what he fears Trump doing, but he does consider him to be a deranged lunatic. The divide is wide and deep in this country. We could be from different planets, for all intents and purposes.
my friend Ed needs to immure himself in a safe space, because he is terrified of the Trump presidency.
We absolutely are.
I'm coming around to Scott Adams take that there is no such thing as objective reality but if there was we wouldn't see it as it's not part of our evolutionary advantage to see it, so we don't. We all live in our own worlds of confirmation bias.
When election results became sure
Her advisors did Hillary immure
She was drunk, or in shock
Couldn’t comfort her flock
Her depression will not have a cure
Leftie rioters want to immure
Their feelings, keep them pure.
They want their own way
or they’ll block the highway
To an awesome #MAGA Trump future.
Ed fears concentration camps for muslims/undocumented aliens, fears what Trump will do for his white supremacist followers, that he will bomb someone who insults him, etc. I am incredulous that a very intelligent man, whom I know personally, feels this way for reals.
I really hope they make a movie about this. I want to see her going after Mook and Podesta and being restrained. Drunk, out of control, passing out or being sedated....the scene could be the ending of a movie of crime, corruption and sex. Just what Hollyweird likes.
See, you only THOUGHT he was very intelligent. Truth is stranger than fiction.
OK, back to Bible studies ......can’t take anymore delish news of leftie meltdowns for this morning. I am in overload territory.
Higher education
Seems to delay maturation
But is a “safe space” to immure
The socially immature.
Book smarts are one thing. Lots of people have those but lack common sense.
The risk of getting assaulted for being suspected of being a Trump voter is much higher than any of those imagined threats.
very true/
I agree, but try telling the left that.
