I denounce Trump for not tweeting in iambic pentameter!



We are just so sick of Trump’s vulgar tweets, you know, where he says simple things in just a few words to rile and topple his opposition. We, the people of good will, rightfully expect him to "fill it out" with garrulity, prolixity, and logorrhea, but he refuses to do so. For this reason, we are so worried for our Democracy.
So, I propose this:
We have long since deplored the works of Shakespeare because of his viewpoint on human nature, and squeezed it out of our schools in order to establish our own supremacy. But, in this case, Shakespeare is a great tool with which we can shame Trump and expose his writing style as being less than Shakespeare.
We’ll use him as long as necessary and then squash him like a bug!

Perhaps we should go beyond Shakespeare -- who was, after all, an Anglophone, the whitiest of the white -- and demand epic dactylic hexameter, in the manner of Virgil ...So korrekt.
At evening, back from the fields - you tending the catnip patch - it should be a lick of KitKat Vodka for you.
BUT then.
Let's go all out. Trumputler must deliver buḥūr taf‘īlah qāfiyah (بحور تفعيله قافيه), with sha'ir (الشاعر) of 'akbar-'akbar (أكبر-أكبر) beats, in hexapenta iambadactylo (تفعيل سداسي البنتاغون تفعيل داكتيل) al-strukturiyah!


I was really tired when I first posted this, and, in my usual impetuous way, I ignored any possible sloppiness and posted anyway and hoped for the best.
When I awoke the next morning to check my post, after enduring nightmares about it, I found it to be way better than I expected. Perfect, in fact.
Well now, that’s what friends are for, right, Comrade Red? (I saw what you did there) Covering for our fellow comrades is what we do! That’s the Prog way!
Even though I denounced Trump for not using iambic pentameter in his tweets, I, myself, am speechless because I can’t use it either. However, that is no excuse for Trump’s lack of “cultural” language usage.
When Comrade Red asked: “What would Shakespeare tweet?” I became paralyzed with writer’s block. I knew I was busted.
Then, Comrade Steirlitz, by providing a most useful link, and the rest of you came to my rescue! I am so grateful!
I will address this in my next post.
Thank you!

Love your post Comrade Pammie! and I agree, it is really nice when the hands of a master takes over with a bit of a makeover.
Comrade Steirlitz's link is a GOLD MINE. (Thank you Comrade Steirlitz!) I have book marked it and have a feeling I will be quoting some Shakespeare in other 'speakeasies' I frequent. Time to brush up your Shakespeare Komrades.............................

For sure a result of brushing up Shakespeare using Stierlitz's GIG, the Glorious Insult Generator.
Though comrade Alex, somewhat prole-ish, shook here his spear exactly as great Pushkin once depicted (
Не мог он ямба от хорея,
Как мы ни бились, отличить.
He couldn't iamb from trochee,
No matter how we fought, distinguish. _[referring not Alex, but a certain Eugene]
) he - Alex - will improve his iambics in next 5-Year Plan.
For now, recall Alex Nadsat-shakespearizin':

On the other hand... If things were just as bad 410 years ago and the world didn't end, that gives me hope.
Sonnet LXVI
Tired with all these, for restful death I cry,
As to behold desert a beggar born,
And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity,
And purest faith unhappily forsworn,
And gilded honour shamefully misplaced,
And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,
And right perfection wrongfully disgraced,
And strength by limping sway disabled
And art made tongue-tied by authority,
And folly, doctor-like, controlling skill,
And simple truth miscalled simplicity,
And captive good attending captain ill:
Tired with all these, from these would I be gone,
Save that, to die, I leave my love alone.


Wow! Just WOW!
I happened to happen upon this handy-dandy link that names those phrases we use daily without knowing Shakespeare wrote them. (I'm sure you are familiar with the image of the Bard at the beginning.)

Thing is, I don't recall Trump using any of them.


"Can anyone else hear him humming along as he plays on his records?"
Why of course we can! That is an essential part of Glenn's shtick!

Perhaps we should go beyond Shakespeare -- who was, after all, an Anglophone, the whitiest of the white -- and demand epic dactylic hexameter, in the manner of Virgil, who was, at least, a bit less pale.Oh, good grief, Comrade RedDiaperette, I looked this up and can only handle things as simple as 1-2-3. It's already complicated by those who insist upon actual thought! Why add to it?

There's a Billy Joel lyric I constantly tell myself, from his song "Keeping the Faith".
" 'Cause the good old days a-weren't always good,
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it see-e-eems"
And his "We didn't start the fire, it was always burning since the world's been turning" is a great reminder too.

So, like maybe this whole culture war revolution breaks down as simple as just Good vs Evil thing? That's pretty simple...iffin's a comrade can tell which is which. Like the Bard said, "And simple truth miscalled simplicity".

Dearest Jackie,
I was in L.A. when this occurred and I recall Rodney King saying "Can't we all just get along?" That's because I saw it on the "news."
Here's the video that more accurately exposes what he said:
