Well, it’s that time of the year again… not really, I don’t think it’s been done before…
Well, anyhoo, I love words, sentences and the use of exaggerations and verbal pictures to convey feelings. In my case, usually of disgust.
This is Jonathan Pie. It’s a short segment. He’s a comedian posing as a reporter, going on a rant; off-camera. It’s always hilarious; mainly because what he says is sadly true.

The rant is about an extreme right-wing female politician in Britain. One who, seemingly randomly, tells populist lies just to evoke emotion.
For example, at the moment she’s proposing a clamp down on homeless people using tents… because it’s a lifestyle choice… her words, not mine.
Anyway, Pie, at one moment in the video says: “… and with the flick of a witch’s tit…”
And that is pure linguistic beauty. It not only says something about the woman in question and the the ease with which she makes statements and choices, you also get a picture of something nasty flapping about. Brilliant!
What’s the best sentence you’ve heard this year?
@shavixmir saidI like him already. The world needs more folks just like him! 🙂

@shavixmir
i would like to nominate the following word salad for sentence of the year
even tho it is technically more than one sentence, it could easily win any election
"Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."

@the-gravedigger said“Iranian”?
"Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he'll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people. He will never extinguish their love of freedom. He will never weaken the resolve of the free world."
