My favorite thing about ineffability is that you can describe it.
The lyric fits, so once again, Newley/Bricusse for the prescient win. (And Bassey is just adorable, isn't she?) But I digress. What a 24K POS this guy is!

"Obamacare" was the GOP label meant to be derogatory toward the ACA. Thing is, people liked it, the name stuck, and Trump hates that. "Trump" and "care" only belong together as in "Trump doesn't care." He will let people die just to spite Obama's success. Yup. Trumpcare.
Trump: I want the money to go into an account for people where the people buy their own insurance. They will feel like entrepreneurs. Call it Trumpcare… anything but Obamacare. Obamacare is a disaster just like he was.

... said FDR in 1933, who then made it safe again for rich people to be rich while also lifting up the not-so-rich (with subsequent help from LBJ). Then in 1981 Reagan divorced the word "enlightened" from "self interest" and the sharp drop back to today's unsustainable, inhumane mess began.
"The current state of American capitalism isn’t sustainable. It doesn’t deserve to be sustained. And the best way to avoid an American version of “eat the rich” is to fix the current “let them eat cake” distortion of capitalism into which we’ve fallen."

It was said of Richard Rodgers (perhaps by himself, although perhaps Noel Coward) that he could pee melody. The current WH occupant, on the other hand, apparently excretes whatever this is.
It’s the Oval Office, reimagined as a Spirit Halloween pop-up for aspiring autocrats. Every inch screams “What if Louis XIV discovered QVC?”

There have historically been two main ways the government can stimulate a sagging economy: The Federal Reserve or Congress. We may soon discover an innovative third form of stimulus, courtesy of the Supreme Court.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

I’m a councilmember in a New England city of 60,000. If he stays on budget—which he won’t, but let’s pretend for a moment—Donald Trump will still spend more than our city’s entire annual budget on this illegal vanity project.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

The People's House transformed into That Person's House. I'm sorry but please tell me again just who hates America.
A demolition job that began Monday with the disappearance of the White House’s eastern entrance advanced Tuesday with the destruction of much of the East Wing to make way for President Trump’s planned ballroom.
