Let it all hang out, babies. $1: We're setting sail to a place on the map From which no-one has ever returned Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool By the light of the crosses that burned Drawn by the promise of the women and lace And the gold and the cotton and pearls It's the place where they keep all the darkness you need You sail away from the light of the world on this trip, baby
You will pay tomorrow You're gonna pay tomorrow You will pay tomorrow
Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow I don't want to sail with this Ship of Fools, no, no Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow I don't want to sail with this Ship of Fools, no I want to run and hide Right now
Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea They will leave you drifting in the shallows Drowning in the oceans of history Traveling the world, you're in search of no good But I'm sure you'll build your Sodom like you knew you would Using all the good people for your galley slaves As your little boat struggles through the warning waves But you don't pay
You will pay tomorrow You're gonna pay tomorrow You're gonna pay tomorrow
Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow I don't want to sail with this Ship of Fools Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow I don't want to sail with no Ship of Fools,no,no,no
Where's it coming from Oh, where's it going to It's just a, it's just a Ship of Fools....

Akallabeth  Ar-Gimilzor  Tar-Palantir  Ar-Pharazon $1: Then Manwë upon the Mountain called upon Ilúvatar, and for that time the Valar laid down their government of the Earth. But Ilúvatar showed forth his power, and he changed the fashion of the world; and a great chasm opened in the sea between Númenor and the Deathless Lands, and the waters flowed down into it, and the noise and smoke of the cataracts went up to heaven, and the world was shaken. And all the fleets of the Númenóreans were drawn down into the abyss, and they were drowned and swallowed up for ever. But Ar-Pharazôn the King and the mortal warriors that had set foot upon the land of Aman were buried under falling hills: there it is said that they lie imprisoned in the Caves of the Forgotten, until the Last Battle and the Day of Doom.
But the land of Aman and Eressëa of the Eldar were taken away and removed from the circles of the world beyond the reach of Men for ever. And Andor, the Land of Gift, Númenor of the Kings, Elenna of the Star of Eärendil, was utterly destroyed. For it was nigh to the east of the great rift, and its foundations were overturned, and it fell and went down into darkness, and is no more. And there is not now within the circles of the world any place abiding where the memory of a time without evil is preserved. For Ilúvatar cast back the Great Seas west of Middle-earth, and the Empty Lands east of it, and new lands and new seas were made; and the world was diminished, for Valinor and Eressëa were taken from it into the realm of hidden things.
In an hour unlocked for by Men this doom befell, on the nine and thirtieth day since the passing of the fleets. Then suddenly fire burst from the Meneltarma, and there came a mighty wind and a tumult of the earth, and the sky reeled, and the hills slid, and Númenor went down into the sea, with all its children and its wives and its maidens and its ladies proud; and all its gardens and its halls and its towers, its tombs and its riches, and its jewels and its webs and its things painted and carven, and its laughter and its mirth and its music, its wisdom and its lore: they vanished for ever. And last of all the mounting wave, green and cold and plumed with foam, climbing over the land, took to its bosom Tar-Míriel the Queen, fairer than silver or ivory or pearls. Too late she strove to ascend the steep ways of the Meneltarma to the holy place; for the waters overtook her, and her cry was lost in the roaring of the wind.

I used to tell certain lefties that my proof for the undeniable fact that Barack Obama wasn't a Christian was that if he was they'd hate him. In that vein my proof for the fact that Trump is going to be a decent conservative President is found in the fact of the lefties who hate him. I'd be worried if all you folks loved him.

Hate him? Who cares! The guy's bananas. That has nothing to do with our love or hate for him. It's about our instincts for self-preservation kicking in when a rabid lunatic turns up.

He's volatile, no doubt. But a lunatic? A lunatic is the guy who just gave the Iranian Mullahs a free pass on developing a nuclear bomb and he gave them $150bn to spend on the program.

Trump is an immoral, cruel, and corrupt man, and nothing but poison and ruin will flow from him.

$1: lunatic is the guy who just gave the Iranian Mullahs a free pass on developing a nuclear bomb and he gave them $150bn to spend on the program.  That's not what Obama did, that's your biased misrepresentation of what he did.

Old rich men who've escaped any consequences of their actions for their entire lives DO. NOT. CHANGE. It's all he knows and all he's ever been so it will be deep in the core of everything he does.
