Weren’t there stories about how when he was president the “daily briefings” he was given had to be reduced to single-page or similarly short summaries because he either couldn’t or wouldn’t be bothered to pay attention to detailed information?
Add to that one terrorist, Kevin Roberts, President of Heritage, who says We’re having a new (RW) american revolution: just do like we say and nobody gets hurt.
To which I respond, if you find yourself going in circles, it is the time to stop with the revolutions.
And after they were reduced to one page, he still wouldn’t read them.
that is a grand tradition, though, set in stone by the famous August 6th PDB
Wouldn’t or couldn’t?
IMHO he wouldn’t in order to cover up the fact that he couldn’t.
Trump kept forgetting to bring his reading glasses to his briefings.
I’m surprised this hasn’t been mentioned yet:
See if you can tell what’s wrong with that list.
Ready?
But as a community note tacked onto her message pointed out: “James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, James Monroe, Aaron Burr, Paul Revere, and George Washington were not signers of the Declaration of Independence.”
I’m really amazed. Somebody obviously had to look up the ages, but neglected to check if they were signers or not.
I don;t understand how people can be that stupid. As you noted, they had to look up the ages.
The right hates Wikipedia, but MTG should have used it.
And whatever point she thinks she is making, age is irrelevant. After all, Ben Franklin was 78 when he signed it.
No way she looked up the ages or anything else. She copied and pasted the text from some meme she saw that she thought was super cool.
I also noticed that some of the ages are more than 35, and eight names is not “more than a dozen”.
“No, but he promised to sign it.”
‘Yet another example of those solicits, comunist, demoncrats rerightin’ our HISTORY with they’re Mandala affect!!!’
Exactly. She informs herself the same way her voters inform themselves.
And this also suggests she does not run this through some staffer whose job is “prevent me from doing something stupid”.
Probably. But that’s why I said “someone” (not necessarily Greene) had to look up those ages. Whoever came up with that meme did, and screwed up.
Nitpick: Ben Franklin was born in 1706 and was a mere 70-years-old when he signed the Declaration of Independence.
What makes you think people like MTG have staffers capable of doing that?
What, you think I’m going to bother looking it up? If actual representatives can’t be bothered, neither can I.
Well, he is obviously only two-dimensial on that billboard.

All I can say, all that needs to be said, is what Google said,
Did you mean: dementia
This should make for some interesting interviews at the RNC.
Here’s their platform:
A few gems:
Republicans will use existing Federal Law to keep foreign Christian-hating Communists, Marxists, and Socialists out of America. Those who join our Country must love our Country. We will use extreme vetting to ensure that jihadists and jihadist sympathizers are not admitted.
Republicans will cut federal Funding to sanctuary jurisdictions that release dangerous Illegal Alien criminals onto our streets, rather than handing them over to ICE
I’m sorry, who was releasing people into the streets?
Republicans will end Democrats’ unlawful and unAmerican Crypto crackdown
Have dems been trying to crack down on crypto?
We will repeal Joe Biden’s dangerous Executive Order that hinders AI Innovation, and imposes Radical Leftwing ideas on the development of this technology.
So, time for some deepfake smear campaigns?
Under Republican Leadership, the United States will create a robust Manufacturing Industry in Near Earth Orbit, send American Astronauts back to the Moon, and onward to Mars
To reduce the cost of Higher Education, Republicans will support the creation of additional, drastically more affordable alternatives to a traditional four-year College degree.
That sounds like a bad idea, see above billboard.
Republicans will ensure children are taught fundamentals like Reading, History, Science, and Math, not Leftwing
propaganda.
Reading? Science? Math? History? Sounds pretty fucking woke to me.
Republicans will champion the First Amendment Right to Pray and Read the Bible in school, and stand up to those who violate the Religious Freedoms of American students.
But I bet they don’t understand the difference between having the right to do something and being required to do it. Perhaps now is the time to start expecting the Spanish Inquisition.
PREVENT WORLD WAR THREE, RESTORE PEACE IN EUROPE AND IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AND BUILD A GREAT IRON DOME MISSILE DEFENSE SHIELD OVER OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY – ALL MADE IN AMERICA
Let me know how that works out for you.
