   Ishka Bibel is quite right, the original name given to this particular southwestern denizen is “Jacka*s” rabbit in real life, back in the days when people WEREN’T offended by the term “a*s”…

   Ms. Haley is a “good choice” when comparing her to Donnie John – she still espouses all the crud mainstream republicans put out – so don’t be fooled by her relative “normalcy” – she’s STILL a republican, for god’s sake!

   Little Tommy “T” never served in the military – and hardly even received a formal education, since he attended Southern State College (now Southern Arkansas University), where he lettered in football as a safety for the Muleriders and played two years on the golf team. He received a B.S. in physical education from SSC in 197 per the Wikipedia entry for his “education”…

   This cartoon is chilling – it is a reference to Orwell’s “1984” and, as such, is a compelling warning of the coming dystopian nightmare of Donnie John – though I’m not sure ANY reference to a “book” would set off alarm bells, anymore…

   Cattle class is good! my father was in a C – 124 Globemaster crash at Larson A.F.B. , Washington in the early ’50s – hundreds killed – the only survivors were in the “tail”…

   You can ALWAYS get assistance – if you know where and how and who to ask in government…

   Since “Government” is essentially another word for “bureaucracy”, you need a guide – if you’re planning to climb Mt. Everest, you don’t hire a short-order cook as a guide – and you darn sure don’t try to go it alone.

   Lawyers are basically “land sharks” but are the correct tool to use when attempting to “interface” with bureaucracies.

   Since this isn’t my “first” rodeo, I tend to forget that not everybody knows all the “Rules of the Road” (to mix metaphors, somewhat), and you went into a “gunfight” with a paring knife.

   Please note, Pony, that “effective” does not mean “efficient.”

   Your example, while sad, does not allow examination of the entire story, I fear.

   It is entirely possible that the lawyer representing you in this case, tripped up, somewhere – you didn’t provide enough details to ascertain how the outcome was adjudicated…

    Piper, “kissing the ring” references an act of fealty Roman Catholics traditionally performed on their higher-ups in the ecclesiastical hierarchy. It served two purposes – first, in order to do it you had to bow or kneel before the higher authority figure while at the same time showing obsequiousness to the ring given to that person by an even higher authority – and that’s where the whole allegorical nonsense falls apart – because Donnie John does NOT recognize anyone or anything “higher” than himself, and the wearing of such a ring would denote someone higher than the wearer and that would include any “God” you might believe in…

    Please keep firmly in mind that Trump does NOT see himself as sitting at the right hand of “God”, but, rather, as sitting on the throne of “God”, itself – to his mind, there exists NO HIGHER AUTHORITY…
