The mere mention of TRUMP in a crowd of illegals thins the herd, sending them absquatulating back across the border, and, for that matter, prevents them from squatting here in the first place.

When I was young, we used to use “absquatulate” (”squatch” for short) to mean making a funny noise with one’s hands. No Internet back then, so one could not easily look up the real definition! LOL!!!!
In 2017, we wish that Pelosi and Waters would absquatulate from Congress, ASAP!!!!

Weak in the knees and suffering from pneumonia (or heat exhaustion, or the Russian flu, or too many lies, or..whatever), Hillary nearly fainted and almost squatted on the curb at a recent 9/11 ceremony in New York City as she tried to make a quick getaway. With help from a few able-bodied members of her group, she was ungracefully lifted into the HillaryMobile and subsequently absquatulated the scene.

ABSQUATULATE is too difficult to say therefore I will use “leave abruptly”.

The SyFy Channel Dune movies SUCKED BIGTIME....................
The 1984 movie Got the ‘look’ and ‘feel’ of the Dune novel, but got the story line wrong.
The SyFy Channel movie had the Bene Gesserits looking like Scarlett O’hara in Gone With The Wind, and the Spacing Guild looking like the magician in the Mickey Mouse cartoon Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
I hope Hollywood finally gets it right, and it becomes a franchise like Star Trek...................
