1. Fake President at a Fake University

3. Expect lots of mentions of the cranes

Liberty is expanding once again. New dorms that block out the horizon, new admin building, a new field house, massive road work being done just east of there on 460 by VDOT, and some sort of tower that my wife calls "the rocket to Heaven". Her family had a history with Jerry going back to high school. Not fans.

2. This makes me laugh out loud. Can you imagine his address?

1. Comey is leaking lies.
2. The MSM lies.
3. Judges are letting bad hombres into the country.
4. Putin is nice to me.
5. Did you see my big election victory?
6. I had the biggest inauguration in history.
7. Comey is mean to me.
8. I fired Comey because he won't get off of the fake story about Russia that the Democrats started.
9. Hillary is a crook.
10. Comey told me 3 times that I'm innocent (the story will have switched from under investigation to innocent).
11. I'm the real president.
12. Did you see the electoral map? Please pass one out to each graduating student.
13. God is good.
14. I have no business ties to Putin.

5. Pretty much.

We can be sure he will have little to say to the students about their graduation (the typical graduation speech is about the challenges of facing the future) and a whole lot to say about himself and his magnificent electoral victory and how he really won the popular vote except for all those fake votes that were either really fake or cast by illegal immigrants brought across the border by George Soros, and how he had the biggest inaugural crowd ever which the fake media won't report, and how the Russia investigation is fake news and the SAD, failing media treats him so unfairly. Oh, and God.

It will be epic.

4. Donald Trumpenflake is giving a COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS?

Pardon my turn of phrase here, but HOLY SHIT.

7. It's Liberty University. Who else would have him?

[neeksgeek]

8. Fair point. But still, I think I'd skip commencement. Of course at Liberty it's probably MANDATORY.

Oh wait! Maybe they'll give him an honorary Doctorate of Letters or something.

6. Maybe he'll try and enroll them in Trump University for Doctorate degrees?

9. Jerry Falwell's shitty school

10. So I am thinking Christian Values school ....

Will be fun to extrapolate what those "Christian Values" ARE from his speech ...

11. I once had to sit through commencement speech of George W

We thought that that experience was pretty bad, and it was. Can't imagine how bad this might be.

BTW Bush speech was tedious though I remember he had a couple of decent jokes. Security was almost nonexistent. I was surprised at the time by how many people booed W. I had expected more support for him in SC. Doubt Trump will be booed on Saturday. Liberty seems a much more protected environment.
