Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Ok, now I have to take a crack at it.

Jingle bells,

Donald Trump smells,

Pro-se-cute him all the way!

Oh, whata time

It is to live!

Let's li-ti-gate all he has to say!

Hey!

Can anyone else improve this?

Jingle Bells

Donald smells

Jai-l all the way

What a time

To be a live

Let's lit-i-gate him away

Hey!

Rolls off the tongue better.

I feel like the litigate needs an easier word.

Agreed. Or a different line all together! I was trying to go with a justicey feel instead of just insults

"Donald Smells" is actually a better fit than "Donald Trump smells" and is probably clear enough with the context of th rest of the song. You could easily include a line about how "Trump" is longstanding British slang for "fart" though and then you get both names in.

Hey. Syllables: may I introduce you to them...?

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 1 points 10 months ago

I recommend that you try to improve the world with correction instead of (only) criticism. See something misspelled? Post the correct spelling! See some syllables that are off? Fix 'em so that others don't get it wrong!

Thank you for pushing through the wall. I couldn't find the energy myself.
