Rikki don't lose that number / You don't want to call nobody else / Send it off in a letter to yourself. (Steely Dan, Rikki don’t lose that number)
Dear Mrs Chávez Rodriguez[1] – Joe for President again, right[2]?!
Dear Mrs Haley – Nikki for President, right[3]?!
How about all the other Presidential Candidates[4] ... can’t hear you!
A couple of questions for you as follows:
# How about the sore loser[5], i.e. the most wanted[6] and feared[7] Ex-President[8] of the United States of America, ever?
# Have you heard about all the lonesome losers living in the United States of America?
# What ’s gone wrong with the (Dis)United States of America[9]?
# What ’s gone wrong with the Republicans and Democrats in terms of collaberation[10]?
# An indicted[11] Politician turning plans for reelection[12] into an ambitious campaign on seeking revenge[13] – what do you call that (?) ... intentional abuse of office, a second time?
# Wasn’t the attack on Capitol Hill a concerted act of domestic terrorism[14]?
# Haven’t the assault’s causes and effects proven a threat to national and global security[15] ever since?
# Should the Pieper of Capitol Hill[16] ... Mr Mugshot[17] and all of his violent fellow citizens remaining behind bars[18] or roaming freely deserve a second chance[19]?
# Doesn’t Donald "The Stump Speech"[20] Trump[21] epitomise the worst Republican Primary[22] and President[23] ever?!
# What’re you planning to do about it?!
God bless you(r country)!
Respectfully yours,
Cal Caleido
