Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!
Here is my example with WFTD.
The media's treatment of President Trump has been hellacious and there's no end in sight. I am looking forward to the Kim.dotcom presser and hopefully a break in the Seth Rich case, hoping it's not just tinfoil.
No pushing at the door please!

When the Seth Rich story finally breaks onto the MSM, there will be a hellacious run for the exits from the entire (D) command structure. They cannot run out the clock on MURDER!.........................

The disparity between the realities on the right and the left is mindboggling! we eagerly await the Seth Rich story breaking open, and those poor morons are sure that impeachment proceedings and indictments are in the offing for the trump administration! A+++

The Donald is often pugnacious
To his credit, he’s much more veracious
Than his predecessor
Whose achievements were lesser
Yet the treatment of Trump is hellacious

Murder? Like Vince Foster, Seth Rich committed suicide. And shooting yourself in the back (twice) ain’t a walk in the park. Not even Ft. Marcy Park!

Hellacious Acres ~ Kris Kristofferson
Hellacious Acres(Kenneth Lee Ascher/ Paul H. Williams)
Look who's advertising,
Billboards everywhere,
"see Hellacious Acres,
Your tailor made nightmare".
Traffic is backed up for miles,
Attendants welcome you with devilish smiles.
Steady ... steady ...
Have your tickets ready.
Steady ... steady ...
Go to hell
After dark
It's a sin filled city
An amusement park.
It's a one way ticket to the other side,
It's a Dr. Jekyll and a Mr. Hyde.
See Lizzie Borden, she's one of the stars,
And tricky Dicky barkin',
Flashin' you his pardon.
Jack the ripper slashin' your tires.
Even the devil needs money,
To cover his overhead,
That's why he opened Hellacious Acres,
Or so his press agent said.
Hang out with heavies,
Your partners in crime,
Forget the consequences,
Have a good time,
Steady ... steady ...
Have your tickets ready,
Steady ... steady ...
Go to hell
After dark
It's a sin filled city,
An amusement park,
It's a one way ticket to the other side,
It's a Dr. Jekyll and a Mr. Hyde.
Get down and study suspicion and doubt,
At Hellacious Acres,
Listen mischief makers,
Admission's free you pay to get out.

The MSM’s stuck on salacious,
Their hatred of Trump is hellacious.
But nary a notice
When Bubba was POTUS
With Monica L. so fellatious

68 and occasional drizzle-same predicted for tomorrow, so I’m working on a bid and couple of invoices...
Their long hellacious tantrum
Makes the liberals need a slap
To make them act like adults
And stop the hysterical crap
Pres Trump is out doing what
They’ve promised us for years
After an 8 year Obama fiasco
We are happy with their tears
Let them just keep on howling-
And making their party a mess-
By 2018 election frenzy time
They can be in more distress...

Hopefully they are using their own money, although I’d be surprised.
