> [@Spoons](#): > > … I think he’s assured of being known as the Yogi Berra of Presidents. It seems like Yogi Berra in fact understood ironic humor and that his quips were funny. Judy Holiday showed us that it takes effort to portray stupid and funny – she was much smarter than most of the characters she played, just as George Burns’ wife was. Felon-ONE is genuinely stupid, way out of his depth, and history will not look back on him with fond amusement. ---

Dementia Donny tried to call South Carolina governor Henry McMaster last month. Instead, he called former National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster, then started cursing at him and hung up when he realized he’d called the wrong number. > **[H.R.

I’ve mentioned it before regarding Musk, but their music video for the song “I’ve Never Met a Nice South African” is worth seeking out online. I have a friend here in the states from South Africa (whom I suspect is pretty racist, but knows better than to show it) who really, really hates that song. So of course we tease him with it all the time. ---

McMaster is no fun at all, this was truly a missed opportunity for an epic conversation. He should’ve let Trump keep talking. ---

The thing is, if you showed that article to Trump he’d probably take it seriously and start incorporating the story about McKinley burning down the White House into his rambles. ---
