he understoodmistakenly perhaps that the party opposing a president makes a rebuttal to his State of the Union address

   a rebuttal

               which is the act of contradicting the speech by making a contrary argument by presenting contrary Evidence      

Sarah Huckabee Sanders made the Republicans rebuttal  its worth readinghe couldnt listen to it

Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Murphy called it a dystopian hellscape

he read it 

he concurred with Senator Murphyhe loved concurring 

                                                         however he rather refer to it as part deux of her ex-boss’ Inaugural address  American Carnage

   politicians are elected to solve problemsprovide solutions cant do that  theyre in the wrong job

Janey had gone to junior highhigh school with his youngest daughter had spent lots of nights sleeping over 

                                                                                                                he wondered if that was still a thingparticularly in light of Trumpvirus and the resultingcontinuing disconnect between parents he kept to calling them parents wasnt up to declaring his community a Republican-leaning enclave as adults adolts yah  adults nah  

            he was grateful his kids were on the whole other side of their college educations and deeply immersed in finding their ways in their lives 

stepping up to him she sighed deeply 

                                       he interrupted Awright Janey please no mister  Were adults now Im Joe ya know that

she smiled a disarming smile Okay Joe  laughed I know.

       But I think whaya don know he brushed his chest with the back of his fingers your blouse is  yawning

her head tilted aside like a chickens her eyes blinking brightly

she gasped

he noddedtried not nodding dismissively patiently  Awright Then please I believe I understand how you meant however you said it incorrectly

he sighed nowshook his head almost wearily And you’re usually the smart one.

   Usually I am 

                 But Im also punched full of holes not as bad as a sieve but a bucket tha coud be used deliberately as slow watering can Help me slow me even a bit more ifya woud stopup more holes

Awright. Posthumourously. After someone’s died. Recipient of a military medal, an award, commendation, acknowledgement . . but they’re dead.

Okayokay were on the same trackjust wanted to be sure we were talking about the same thing Unfortunately yare mispronouncing itwhich isnt to say I don appreciate tha yave coined it Id be mighty pleased ifya let me borrow it sometime

I didn’t coin it.

Yadid

       The word you want is posthumously humous like humus not humourous  funny 

Yeah? 

   Yes

Sure?

Yah

Sure then, you can borrow it.

Ill credit ya

Don’t use my name, I’d be embarrassed.

Ya prefer anonymousthey always get the credit though I thinkI believe  theyre Chinese

                                                                                              I like it though

How would you use it?

Easy Like trepverterya recall trepverter

Yes. Thinking of something to say, a retort, afterwards, at the bottom of the steps after a conversation, discussion’s concluded.  Yiddish, right?

Yah Jews and Germans have words for everything

                                                       Id use it for people who laughedpeople aroundem laughed but had missed the joke then afterwards it occurs to them how funny it was an they laugh earnestly 

                                                                                                 A good joke is like a gift tha just keeps givin

   Like the clap?
