Welcome to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). I will be posting each day’s word just after midnight Pacific Time (U.S.).
Today’s word is “scoff.”
Write a post using that word. It can be prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction. It can be any length. It can be just a picture or a drawing if you want. No holds barred, so to speak.
Once you are done, tag your post with #FOWC and create a pingback to this post if you are on WordPress. Please check to confirm that your pingback is there. If not, ÿplease manually add your link in the comments.
And be sure to read the posts of other bloggers who respond to this prompt. Show them some love.

Today’s word is Scoff,
..which l guess might be considered tough,
Or should that read Tuff or Toff,
Which is pretty ruff or rough roff,
Neither of which is enough or enoff,
Not easy to cough,
Off with Scoff!
I suppose l could blast off,
With Scoff,
…but veer away from frock off,
Or fob off,
And l will try to not get into a huff hoff,
Or even a Face Off,
.. which, for the record, was a pretty good film,
Thankfully, there wasn’t a spin-off,
Which could bugger off,
No, admittedly, Scoff is a tuffie!
Well done with Scoff,
To you, Sir, l do doth,
To Fandango, the wordery prof!

Hhhhhhh. Looks like we have some scofflaws on the Supreme Court. I would have tried to refrain from saying that, but they made a case they’ve decided to hear more complex than it needed to be and, on top of that, slow-walked it — both in the past and in the schedule they set up today. Maybe I don’t know what amazing shit they intend to come up with in order to retain what we always thought, that no one is above the law, but…

And if Trump wins the election before the trial, he’ll claim presidential immunity from prosecution and will end up getting off scot-free. Son of a bitch! 😡

Yep, he will if he does. I don’t know anything about his mother, but he’s the son of something really bad. Yet more disturbing is those who are tasked with keeping things somewhat steady (with space intended for a lot of movement in the realm). I heard a theory, yesterday, that Thomas wants to retire but not with a Democratic president. Sandra day O’Connor also wanted to retire — and put the second Bush in place, this guy said, so she could while a Republican president would replace her. I’m not sure this adds up, but I see the thinking that some want to retire, and some want to die in office. RBG was having too much fun to want to retire. The person saying such things, yesterday, didn’t say that last part yesterday (but I do believe has said it some time ago). I really, really, really, really don’t like Biden as President. I really do like KBJ though. I don’t know if I would be fooling myself to think he would choose another great person. I’ve been very, very disappointed with who he put in place for the DOJ. Slow starting is part of what has us here. Few avert the disaster, we can’t go back to business as usual. Something has been quite off for a long time. But then there’s the repeating question of when things weren’t off. Another piece of the discussion was that Thomas should absolutely recuse himself (because of his wife’s connection).

From mid February, Biden [seems surprised]
Republican appointee did exactly what
everyone thought they would do;
within first half of discussion:
Transition from domestic messaging into
foreign policy scoffing at approximately 22:30.

An article from back when it was still cool to be outraged by the Saudis (2018 before the Trumps had put together and announced a financial deal there and before Biden did a one-eighty): “When George W. Bush was in office, I was no fan and agreed with him on just about nothing. But his administration got one thing right, the news of which seemed shockingly impossible to most people. In 2004, Cat Stevens, singer of all those gentle love songs in the 70s, was enroute to DC from London when American authorities ordered the plane to be diverted to Maine so they could detain him. He had been placed on the no-fly list for suspicion of cooperating with terrorists, and by the time the next morning had broken, he was back in London. Mr. Stevens, who had changed his name to Yusuf Islam, had long before converted to the strict Wahhabi sect of Islam — the arch-conservative Saudi sect known for supplying and financing the 9/11 hijackers, public beheadings, stoning women to death, and generally serving as a religious tool to enforce the power of the corrupt Saudi royal family.”
