saw the former president’s name immediately & then the rest followed
Likewise! 😜
Today’s birds: BARAU’S PETREL, APALIS, RAIL, SMEW, EMU, TEAL BULBUL, PIPIPI, PIPIT, TIT, and IBIS in the singles; MURRE and WILLET in the doubles.
Got the same answer but must raise a technicality. As far as I know, Stormy ain’t no strumpet. Some might say your comment isn’t fair to Stormy, others that it isn’t fair to strumpets.
TIMEWARPS-SUBTLE
TIMEWARPS – SUBLET as well
TIMEWARPS – SLUB
Wow, nice last hour 13/2!
I spotted Bewails Strumpet, which as noted is ripe with Current Events TI, but ultimately I went with Bewails Stumper as more personal to the LB crowd, with our frequent complaints that it’s Too Hard – or, conversely and perversely, that it’s Too Easy, thereby bewailing both the presence and absence of stumpers, depending.
😄😄😄 Bernie!
Nice!
🤣
😀
UPSWEPT-TRIBALISM. so much potential, so few worked out: TIMEWASTER, ARMWRESTLE(S), SWIMWEAR….
I found RUSTBELT— TIMEWARP a bit long but seems to have a thematic feel to it.
BEWAILS – SPIRITUALISM
Same
WASTRELS->SUBPRIME
There’s an economic lesson for you…
WAITLISTS SUBPRIME
A rather inelegant TRUMPETS – SWIPEABLE
similarly, TRUMPS – SWIPABLE.
To the left, of course.
Nice one, Tim!
Love the ti Tim!
☺ thanks both!
WARMUPS – SUBTILE 14/2 here, trumped (fair to admit) by the official answer in terms of efficiency and thematic integrity (quite the spectacular balancing act that would be). ARMWRESTLE, SWARM, ARMPITS, PARTIBLE, BLEWIT, ALBITE, RIBLET were some other finds, and I’m surprised TRUMP-related solutions haven’t already started pouring in thick and fast. Thought I might initiate proceedings with
WEST – TRUMP – PITIABLE,
fully aware that others can do way better.
LBF score: a pitiable 4½ (5/12 letters guessed correctly). Hope things will look up with
FNR XDG UIS ETA.
Warmups Subtitle
Wastrels Subprime for me too
Not efficient. Feeling lazy.
There should be many simple solutions, better than the official.
WIPEABLE ESTRUM
… correctly guessed would not be the official 🙂

I went BEWAILS-STRUMPET, seduced by the Elmer Gantry vibe.
BEWAIL—LAST—TRUMP
REBLAST—TWIT—TRUMP
TWIST—TRUMP—PARABLE
🙂
Although REBLAST was unaccepted, I couldn’t resist it.
Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God Bewail the Last Trump!
PABULUM – MISWRITE
Trumps and swipeable
Imperialists-Subweb
partials – stewbum
I was working on WEASEL-LIPBALM today. Some great words there: TULIPS, PUSTULE, MISERABLE, MEASURABLE, WEARABLE. Also BIBIMBAP and WASABI on the foreign food front.
I gave up after one-shy WASABI-IMPERIALIST. I was quite pleased with that, however.
im trying to SUBLET my TIMEWARP! quite pleased with this.
WAPITIS SLUMBER
Good morning Canada!
But only fitfully, in season.
Oh, and of course
BIBLES SET, TRUMPS SWEAR.
Ugh, Walt. Just stop.
Dissapointed I couldn’t find a partner for SPIRITUALISM nor SUBPRIME nor another good word I can’t remember now hehe. Ended up with WARPS SUBLIMEST for a 14/2.
WEARABLES-SPIRITUALISM
UMPIRES–STEWABLE (the latter not accepted by LB but a PSW), then STEWBUMS–SPIRAL. Found STEWBUMS when looking for something to pair with SEMIPERMEABLE, but when I found STEWBUMS, it turned out that SPIRAL was a more elegant pairing. And, it avoids the low-hanging fruit of the -ABLE suffix. There’s probably a shorter word to pair with SEMIPERMEABLE, though, somewhere. Regrettably, I must to work . . .
Today I got Permutes-Swipable !! Found a ton of funky words along the way
Didn’t know the word RIPSAW. Was disappointed TIMESWAP not allowed. (BLURT TIMESWAP was my only 2 word guess; tons of 3 and 4 word solutions too).
TIMEWARP-PERUSABLE
Interesting 3-word combination solution for May 17 letter box:
liberals swept trump
🙂 LOL, Leonard!!
Timewarps – sublet
Pablum – miswrite
Warmups Subtile
Oh, I didn’t see where anyone got STRUMS-SWIPEABLE
I finally got something no one else posted.
I couldn’t make TUMBLERS work, so switched the S to the front and got STUMBLER – RIPSAW, using an unnecessary letter over the official.
UPSWEPT TRIBALISM
