Trump poem from Facebook Grinch style

You're a mean one, Mr. Trump
You really are a heel
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Trump
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!

You're a monster, Mr. Trump
Your heart's an empty hole
Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Trump
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!

You're a foul one, Mr. Trump
You have termites in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Trump
Given a choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crocodile!

You're a vile one, Mr. Trump
You're a nasty wasty skunk
Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Trump
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote
"Stink, stank, stunk"!

You're a rotter, Mr. Trump
You're the king of sinful sots
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Trump
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful
Assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots!

Call the CBO Finance office

The CBO Finance Office (202-224-4515) is keeping count of Americans requesting public hearings on the Senate "healthcare" bill. Call during business hours & request that Public Hearings be held. We need more callers. Just because the vote has been postponed doesn't mean we can let up on the pressure.

Interesting comments on Trump humpers from Facebook

THESE are the people that are following the TRUMPSTER
• They are ANGRY because their fellow citizens can now get married.
• They are ANGRY because more of their fellow citizens now have health care.
• They are ANGRY because minorities are finally stepping up and "not taking it" any more.
• They are ANGRY that the Black guy was elected twice.
• They are ANGRY that they can’t pin some fake scandal on Hilary.
• They are ANGRY because the CONSTITUTION is getting in the way of their FREEDOM to discriminate.
• They are ANGRY at Mexicans Instead of at our OWN LAWS – which allow undocumented citizens to get benefits, and allow employers to employ them for shit wages.
• They are ANGRY because they have been fighting Women's right of choice and can't impose THEIR beliefs on others.
• They are ANGRY because they can’t move us closer to a CHRISTIAN Theocracy.
THEY HATE the reality that …Their doctor is from INDIA, nurses are from the PHILLIPINES, their kids soccer coach is HISPANIC and the guy on the corner who owns the 711 wears a TURBIN on his head, They DISPISE the reality that gays moved into their neighborhood (with their kids) and now they are put in a position where their kids might want to go “over there” to play. STEVE BANNON even said “there are too many ASIANS” in Silicon Valley. The list goes on and on.

They are THREATENED and SCARED of being the minority…..because they know how THEY HAVE treated minorities in this country since the GENOCIDE of the native peoples, the ENSLAVEMENT of the Chinese ( to build the rail system) and BLACKS ( to build THEIR economy) in the South. JUST to name two quick examples.
The ANGER in our country is very sad…….angry for all the wrong reasons.

Eric Garland from Twitter (speculation and tin foil territory)

Moreover, some of Bernie's online support has been coordinated overseas, according to the IC.

And he played a spoiler against Clinton.
