Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:
AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
And yes, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL get through it!
We will always remember Wheatie,
Pray for Trump,
Yet have fun,
and HOLD ON when things get crazy!
We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:
Wheatie’s Rules:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:
“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:
- Our backup site, The Q Tree 579486807, https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/
- Our old alternative site, The U Tree, where civility is not a requirement
- Our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178
- Our various sister sites, listed in the Blogroll in the sidebar
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.
Joe Biden didn’t win.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
ischiorrhogic
adjective
- of an iambic line, having spondees in the second, fourth or sixth place
- in ancient prosody, noting a variety of iambic trimeter which has not only a spondee or trochee for an iambus in the sixth or last place, as in the choliamb, but a spondee in the fifth place also
Wolf’s easy alternative explanation
A kind of irregularity in old Greek poetry, which jazzes things up, but too much so, in the opinions of some.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iamb_(poetry)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondee
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trochee
Used in a sentence
When the variation on the sixth foot of the trimeter coexists with a spondee in the fifth place, the verse becomes still more irregular, and can, in fact, hardly be considered an Iambic verse, but is rather a combination of an iambic diameter with a trochaic monometer. Such lines are called by the grammarians Ischiorrhogic (broken-backed) : they are very rarely used by Hipponax. LINK
It had something to do with Brokeback Mountain! I knew it!
MUSIC!
OK, we’re gonna fake it just a bit for the sake of continuity!
Orrible! Just orrible! But istoric, too! And istory is…..
THE STUFF
Shakespeare as a fan of then-modern science? Hmmmmm…….
“Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble…..”
Sure sounds like chemistry lab!
Just sayin’!
And remember…….
Until victory, have faith!
And trust the big plan, too!
And as always….
ENJOY THE SHOW

“Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble…..”
Sounds like something horrible that Big Pharma would cook up.
That Shakespeare performance! 🤣 I couldn’t stop watching it.
A Shakespeare-ism that I am particularly fond of is “hoist by his own petard”. If you get an explanation that doesn’t include the French performer Le Pétomane — and perhaps the Governor from Blazing Saddles — you’re only getting half the story.
Let’s start with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petard — a very small, portable bomb of about 5 pounds of gunpowder, popular in Shakespeare’s day (invented in France around 1579) for breaching doors. “Pétard comes from the Middle French péter, to fart, from the root pet, expulsion of intestinal gas, derived from the Latin peditus, past participle of pedere, to break wind.”
To reflect on the popularity of farting in France, I can direct you to Joseph Pujol, Le Pétomane — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_P%C3%A9tomane — who entertained kings with his farting prowess around 1895-1910.
This segues nicely into Governor Lepetomane from Blazing Saddles, portrayed by Mel Brooks himself.
While five pounds of gunpowder can certainly injure or kill, the expression in Shakespeare is more playful — he is “lifted by his own fart”. This was, of course, long before Mossad managed to “hoist with their own pagers” senior staffers of Hezbollah, putting most on the injured roster with far less explosive.
Well, believe it or not Next Saturday is largely written already.
Obviously it won’t have Friday’s closing prices yet.
I hope he politely tells them to shove it where the sun don’t shine.
Somehow, I don’t expect that. I think he knows how to work with people while being truthful and drawing boundaries. He could make deals with them and if they don’t hold up their end of the bargain, there could be major consequences…something like that.

They can go to a bar if they want, but I question the wisdom. I never hear of prominent MAGA people sitting around and discussing things in bars, though I suppose it might happen. It seems as though Dem women like to drink a lot.
Joy.
LOL!
