First of all, I'm sorry. Second, I'm slightly tipsy.

My choir is going to record a cd of Danish lyrical songs, but we're having the lyrics translated into English. And the translations haven't been finished yet, but we have to rehearse, so there are empty spots in some of the songs, and we've begun to just sing 'Trump' 'Donald' or 'Donald Trump' depending on the space. Anyway, one of the songs, it fitted pretty well, so I changed it until nearly all of it made sense. It's about a nightingale, and DC is Denmark.

Along the east coast shoreline are towns of glass arrayed
Do-nald Trump
(Donald Trump)
Where angry men are yelling beneath the tower shade
Your law, dearest Donald Trump
rings through the halls of DC

Like golden bells that sing as the dew falls on a dump
Do-nald Trumo
(Donald Trump)
In evening shade is ranting the tender Donald Trump
Your law, dearest Donald Trump
rings through the halls of DC

The pretty yelling sounding in northern summer eve
Do-nald Trump
(Donald Trump)
Enchants the soul and gathers your list’ners to believe
Your law, dearest Donald Trump
rings through the halls of DC

This image I have carried within me on my way
Do-nald Trump
(Donald Trump)
For you have quite entranced me, your words I must obey
Your law, dearest Donald Trump
rings through the halls of DC

My precious fellow being, you have enraptured me
Do-nald Trump
(Donald Trump)
And always I shall love you, and love you utterly
Your law, dearest Donald Trump
rings through the halls of DC

And no, it isn't that much better with nightingale.

dunno what 'all but' means or where this even comes from, but

@EWErickson
Christie staff all but admits Christie hit Rubio in the NH debate to help Trump.

i think he's just talking shit

― spirited ai weiwei (Treeship), Friday, 26 February 2016 22:28 (ten years ago)

If he's trying to buddy up to Trump, this is a good way to spin his swatting Rubio. But this is retrospective and self-serving, and so very suspect.

― spirited ai weiwei (Treeship), Friday, 26 February 2016 22:34 (ten years ago)

sounds like something a liar would say

― Οὖτις, Friday, 26 February 2016 22:35 (ten years ago)

ive never lied i think its bad

― lag∞n, Friday, 26 February 2016 22:36 (ten years ago)

i'm not saying i've never lied, but this election cycle the republicans seem to be doing it all the fucking time in a way that jumps out

― spirited ai weiwei (Treeship), Friday, 26 February 2016 22:37 (ten years ago)

trump said he heard unemployment was at 42 percent

Kanye is a good one

― Οὖτις, Friday, 26 February 2016 22:48 (ten years ago)

The more I think about it, the more plausible it becomes that Trump is basing his whole campaign straight out of the WWE (aka WWF) playbook.

― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Friday, 26 February 2016 22:48 (ten years ago)

kanye is... unrealistic

― lag∞n, Friday, 26 February 2016 22:49 (ten years ago)

that's what they said about trump

~interesting~ that none of the liberal answers (besides the bernie or hillary lolz) are all the plausible

I don't know about this new Rubio strategy of zeroing in on Trump's spelling...may have to rethink that one. If nothing else, there's a Dan Quayle Trump endorsement on the way.

― clemenza, Friday, 26 February 2016 23:26 (ten years ago)

trump's spelling errors are pretty ridiculous though tbf

i guess i don't really understand the question. is it just someone who lots of liberals like but would be an incompetent leader? or who is maybe not as liberal as their reputation?

Are Clinton and Sanders strong spellers?

― clemenza, Friday, 26 February 2016 23:30 (ten years ago)

someone theres just no way u cld even cast a vote for was how i read it m/l

― lag∞n, Friday, 26 February 2016 23:32 (ten years ago)

im a terrible speller but even i know you dont spell it chocked

― lag∞n, Friday, 26 February 2016 23:32 (ten years ago)

i thought "honer" was even crazier than that

― spirited ai weiwei (Treeship), Friday, 26 February 2016 23:35 (ten years ago)

i mean, a lot of factors go into whether someone is a good speller, i wouldn't judge him too hard on that if he was otherwise a reasonable dude but

― spirited ai weiwei (Treeship), Friday, 26 February 2016 23:35 (ten years ago)

I use "honer" in Scrabble. It's a valid word, and I only use valid words--I'm an honerable person.

― clemenza, Friday, 26 February 2016 23:36 (ten years ago)

as a an awful speller honer is more reasonable than chocked to me cause honor is kinda a weird word but choked is standard

― lag∞n, Friday, 26 February 2016 23:37 (ten years ago)

I haven't seen the full list of tweets. Obviously, rather embarrassing--but I'd estimate it's only the 53rd most embarrassing thing about him, at worst.
