What was the world like before language? Was it easier, simpler, more basic, less confusing or was it just more one dimensional, less interesting, less informed, more open to misinterpretation?

I used to play a game with my on the computer when he was little, we would take a noun, an adjective and a verb and put them into the google image search….see what came up. It was, if nothing else a way to spend a rainy afternoon with an overactive 5 year old. If we could, we would act out the image.

My later told me that this became one of his buds’ weed games. I am not surprised. Although I doubt the nouns were as benign as ours had been.

In our current world, words are trapped. They last forever now. Captured by a thousand cameras, phones. Hell, a computer search can find your words in another’s words. Like Trump’s inaugural words in the words of a man spoken years before. Like Melania’s spoken first by Michelle Obama. Spew them back at you. Have we learned nothing from that?

……..so don’t tell me you didn’t say the sun came out on inauguration day while it was raining dude, because there were a whole bunch of witnesses from the CIA.. Bush had a damn piece of plastic over his head.

And the word fact….the dictionary remember that book big D? I do. Look it UP. so if you say 3-5 million votes were illegitimate, without any proof, it’s not a fact. It’s a lie.

Do NOT screw around with words like you’re some literate person. Stick to the little itty bitty ones, like your hands. Try this one … liar. My mama told me when I was little and had fudge sauce all over my face it’s hard to be a good liar because the truth will out.

It’s even harder now BigD. What with all the media and the tapes and stuff. You need a keeper, man. Cuz right now, the boat is sinkin’ faster than you can bail. And there’s a whole lot of people out here with long poles ready to push that sucker back into deep water. Just sayin’. Watch your words.

You cannot conceive the many without the one.

You picked the wrong bracket. How are you with the basketball tournaments?

The truth not only doesn't matter with Trump, it doesn't seem to matter much with the sycophant hogs jostling to the trough in his administration either. The folks who voted for him have made a nihilist comparison to drive us to this point: That all politicians are liars, so it doesn't matter that Trump is a liar. It isn't true and it would have served them better if they had remained apathetic and not voted at all.

ms wickedeasy,
When his pants ignite, do you suppose the Secret Service will throw themselves on him to try to extinguish the blaze??

I keep having Orwellian nightmares, only to wake up and find that I'm living in one. I struggle with the reality that such a significant proportion of the human population are so stupidly, blindly, willingly allowing themselves to believe that the facts in front of their faces can be ignored in favour of lies and falsehoods which play to their insecurities. Sad and dark days McWickster, is the only light at the end of the tunnel the one that shone in Washington on Jan 20th..........

Did you know that there have been brain studies done that the bigger the vocabulary (presumably used in a correct fashion parentheses the more officiant the brain works.? One of the things that separates humans from other animals is not only our language capabilities, but also the ability to play with language. I find that also interesting. Good post, Kk

The observant make the best lovers,
I may not do right, but I do write,
I have bliss, joy, and happiness in my life,

I can understand his believing his lies.
But how others can believe them baffles me...

Post-truth politics, fake news and alternative facts; Trump is perhaps the first postmodern President - that's meant as an insult not a compliment!

Fuck Trump!

Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies. For vilest things
Become themselves in her, that the holy priests
Bless her when she is riggish. ~~ from Antony & Cleopatra

It's pretty obvious when he's speaking "off the cuff " (all small easy words) vs when he's saying something that's been written for him (or plagiarized for him).

Tsk, tsk, didn't you read the bible....?

I don't want him to watch his words though because sooner or later he'll say enough to declare him senile or insane... I hope.
