Wednesday Word ~ gibberish

"Sure, this president speaks fluent gibberish.  It should make perfect sense that 'would' means 'wouldn't.'  And no means yes; up is down; blue is the new orange (because everything is orange).  ETC.  So he misspoke, what's the big deal?  Except, we all know that is not what happened.  Because his capacity to speak nonsense is surpassed only by his proclivity to lie, to cover his own assets, and to twist the narrative until nobody knows which way is up anymore.  He said what he said, and he meant it the first time.  His ability to distort truth and polarize the population is every bit as concerning as the Russia ties.  Which thing are we going to address first?"

Bonnie's comment:  I don't know Irreverin, but I think I like her!

Gibberish = unintelligible or meaningless speech or writing; nonsense.

Synonyms = nonsense, garbage, balderdash, blather, rubbish, drivel, gobbledygook, mumbo jumbo, tripe, hogwash, baloney, bilge, bull, bunk, guff, eyewash, piffle, twaddle, poppycock

Update:  I looked her up and now have a name for Irreverin.  She's the Rev. Erin Wathen, who serves as the Senior Pastor at Saint Andrew Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the Kansas City suburbs.  She's also the 2010 recipient of the Fred Craddock Award for Excellence in Preaching, and (having now discovered it) I think I'll have to get a copy of her 2018 book Resist and Persist: Faith and the Fight for Equality.
