Have you not been watching the Supreme Court nomination hearings, or any other fiasco the orange crud has foisted on the nation? It’s not possible for him to first consider someone for something and second to dismiss them for that something. That would mean the very stable genius was initially wrong. And that simply won’t do. There are no rejects.
The average American IQ is on a par with that of other countries. And misconceptions among ordinary people have always been common.
But back in the Rational Era, the misconceptions of common people were just noise that averaged out or blurred; and an intelligent informed consensus could emerge. Here in Post-rational America, evil-doers like FoxNews cultivate the ignorance of common people to serve their malicious political agenda.
The combination of profit-driven mass media and common-man democracy is tough. Throw crap like Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission into the mix and we may as well give up on American democracy.
Damn, that was well-said. But I’ll never give up on Democracy, the alternatives are just too awful to contemplate.
Put a rapist on the Supreme Court and I will at least think about giving up on democracy.
The Commander-in-Chump speaks about the FBI investigation into Kavanaugh (that he’s actively obstructing);
In other words, “I have no idea what the FBI does”.
“Reign”?
FBI rules!
These were spoken remarks, so I’m going to assume that was a typo by the transcriptionist.
Either that, or Trump’s illiteracy is so vast that it’s actually contagious.
Lord help us.
I saw Colbert read that book; there’s not a lot of plot, but the dialogue is very true-to-life. (It’s exact quotations from the Idiot-in-Chief.)
Hope it sells millions.
Trump: “Kim Jon Un and I fell in love.”
So he’s met #4, then? Does Melania know?
Incidentally, just imagine the right-wing reaction if Obama had said he’d fallen in love with Kim.
Jesus. Henry. Christ.
Check, please. :smack:
Think the Colorado baker will do *that *cake?
Thing is, he probably would.
Americans are thicker than pig shit.
Problem is, the enlightened countries are smarter, but not that much so. We’re all susceptible to populism and racial nutjobbery. Sweden’s drift into racial polemic is ominous. If a Scandinavian country can succumb to batshittery, then pretty much any country on the planet can.
More nonsense from tonight’s Nazi rally;
Aside from being factually wrong, I think we can add “names” to the list of things he doesn’t understand. If the “Democrat Party” wanted to be called the “Democratic Party” instead, they could just change it. That’s how names work. His friend Bruce Jenner ought to be able to explain that to him.
Remember when Obama was the most divisive president ever because said a black professor probably shouldn’t have been arrested in his own home? Those were the days.
Why did it take so damn long???
Well he did say the “acquisitions” are all false.
