3. Remember when Mercedes Benz and Chysler mergered?

That synergy was billed as a merger of equals. Turned out Mercedes Benz had different ideas and it was in charge.

In the synergy Putin planned between Russia and the US, he was to be in charge and his asset, trump, was to do as he was told (just give trump a good sum of money and he's happy). Putin on the other hand wanted much more.

Very scary when you think about it. Putin, a master of realpolitik, wanted synergy with the US. If that had happened, next was world domination. Europe, China—nobody could stand against such an alliance and Putin would have dominion over the world.

Good thing the resistance never let up and forced an investigation of trump's treason. Neither he nor Putin are getting away with it.

Our little boy is forty-one years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like S-P-Y or maybe T-R-A-I-T-O-R-S
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tear the heart right out of me.

Our S-Y-N-E-R-G-Y; becomes final today
Me and little D-O-N will be goin' away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this S-Y-N-E-R-G-Y.

Watch him smile, he thinks it Christmas
Or his 42nd Birthday
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words
And turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt
That's drippin' down my cheek.

Our S-Y-N-E-R-G-Y; becomes final today
Me and little D-O-N will be goin' away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this S-Y-N-E-R-G-Y.

Note: Not many words had to change to bring a whole new meaning.

fourth to forty-one
T-O-Y to S-P-Y
S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E to T-R-A-I-T-O-R-S
D-I-V-O-R-C-E to S-Y-N-E-R-G-Y
J-O-E to D-O-N
5th to 42nd
