Hi folks!  2 years ago, I took some carte blanche to create my DUmmy term of the year.  After perusing and laughing at those loons for over a decade, figured it would be appropriate. 

Essentially, the term or phrase describes and/or encapsulates the DUmp for the year.  Plus, it pokes fun & simultaneously ridicules them.

In 2015, the phrase was "Butt-hurt"

In 2016, the honor was bestowed on the phrase "President-elect Donald J. Trump"

Unlike the DUmmy of the year voting, I confer with no one or take recommendations.  Alluded in the summer that I pretty damn near selected my choice.  Nothing has changed.

So as we flip the calendar to the month of December, thought you would all enjoy this Ralphie Award for Term/Phrase of 2017.  Look forward to an early Christmas and holiday treat!

OK, is this in 24 business hours, or just regular ones? 
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Tomorrow morning or noontime, sir.  Just figured it would be a December enjoyment for all.

Just for the heck of it, not know Ralph's choice and probably incorrect:

Verb Intransigent, to Weinstein - to expose a powerful person as a sexually abusive asshole; to report sexual assaults, coerced intercourse, and rape by a powerful person after years of coerced silence.

Examples of usage:

A female former intern has threatened she will Weinstein Nancy Pelosi.

Female current and former staffers are Weinsteining the NBC News Division.

John Conyers and Al Franken have been Weisteined but the MSM and Democrats are trying to defend them.
If The Vaccine is deadly as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, millions now living would have died.

My guess would be "Russian Collusion".
