Polyptoton (po-lyp-to’-ton): Repeating a word, but in a different form. Using a cognate of a given word in close proximity.
There you go again. Your cautious optimism is optometry gone wild.
You’re so far gone that going your way is like going back to Karl Marx, Vermont–AKA Burlington–home of the vast left-wing conspiracy that is winging its way toward Washington on the carbon monoxide clouds of your eye-watering hot air.
I’m wondering Bernie: Where’s the beef?
You are no Jack Kennedy.
Why don’t you go back to your plume-filled back room down in Foggy Bottom and hatch plots with your vape-huffing cronies?
Even if I or anybody else inhales the juice you’re vaping down there, you’re making a giant sucking sound and your voodoo economics and your vision thing look like a thousand points of light shining out your ass toward New York.
Have you no sense of decency, sir?
Bernie, why don’t you just close your eyes and disappear until it is morning again in America and your socialist poison has been purged from the air?
I would remind you that moderation in defense of the status quo is no vice.
To all you doubters out there, I say “Read my Email, no new ideas!”
Ich bin ein Berliner!
Sie sind ein Spargel!
