Property of Nancy Hanks Lincoln Public Library Issue #14 March-April 2017 An Independent Free Speech Newspaper for Socially Conscious Citizens Everywhere A Nancy Hanks Lincoln Public Library Online Publication Opinion America Trump Freak Show is No Laughing Matter Oh well, here’s another email I just HAD to send. Surprise, we got the reality show we wanted but it’s definitely not TV ready. Even before Donald Trump started his pretend role as President, that dumb piece of poop started whining about crowds that showed up to watch him fuck up his moronic speech that we know he didn’t write and probably didn’t bother to read or even glance at before he read it for the smallest crowd ever at a swearing-in of a President. From there it only got worse as he spent more time crying his eyes out Staff & Contact Info—Page 2 that the media wasn’t being fair. Then things got even Our World—Page 3 worse when that dumbass sent one of his lapdogs, otherwise known as Sean Spicer—who proceeded to Social Issues—Pages 4-5 try and create a completely fictionalized version of Life & Times—Pages 6-7 reality, thinking no one would dare strike back. Well, of Series USA—Pages 8-9 course everyone did, and just when you think Trump Crime & Punishment—Pages 10-11 would lick his wounds and slink back under the rock he lives under, he ordered another one of his lapdogs, a A Year in Photographs—Pages 12-13 human scarecrow (and I do mean SCARE) named Book Excerpts—Pages 14-15 Kellyanne Conway to try and pass off another big Reprints—Pages 16-19 whopper that she stated was “alternative facts.” As Interactive Sites—Pages 20-25 this dumb Trump whore proceeded to lie on air to NBC the heat only intensified. Of course, as you can guess, Corner Cafe—Page 26 Saturday Night Live couldn’t wait to parody this fiasco as only they could, and yes, THEY did. Melissa McCarthy played Spicer to the hilt that same week and it became the talk of the next week. She did such a good job that she instantly rivaled Alec Baldwin as Trump. Expect Emmy nods come later this year. And hey, if you think things couldn’t get any more like a bad soap opera, well, think again. Less than two weeks later Trump pissed off Mexico and Australia and kissed ass even further in favor of Russia all the while spilling one lie after another, then creating totally insane made up events, including having a ridiculous claim of a fake massacre play out like it really happened, only to be publicly debunked by the media for outright lying. And yes, even in the face of more scandal, Trump and his sad team of idiots orchestrated a ban of Muslims only to be struck down hard by the legal system. Could a cable series be far behind?

One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to “Parents can only give good advice or put believe what is true.” [their children] on the right paths, but the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands.” Soren Kierkegaard “In spite of everything, I still “Five percent of the people think; ten percent believe that people are really good at heart.” of the people think they think; and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think.” Anne Frank Thomas A.

They seem to treat everything as if they’re grading on a curve. They’re not for his Cabinet and aggressive about the stories they cover and whine endlessly when they are criticized or made fun of. It should be so easy to look at and see what they’re Complains at Being Called doing wrong but yet they still can’t see mistakes being made on a daily basis. Some of them try but most just Racist and Putin’s Puppet throw up their hands and act like it’s hopeless so why Can You Say Loser? bother trying to dig deeper than they have to. CNN has a major problem with kissing-up to those they #putinspuppet interview, to the point it seems like you’re watching The circus has come to town, oops, I mean to the Entertainment Tonight or Access Hollywood rather than office of President.
