Why #TrumpTheRINO Is Painful & Difficult For America

When you are dead, you do not know you are dead.  It’s only painful & difficult for others.  The same applies when you are stupid.
—     Ricky Gervais
[I would reverse the order of this quote for #DonTheDummy and his MAGA-RINO followers:  “When you are stupid, you do not know you are stupid.  It’s only painful & difficult for others.  The same applies when you are dead.”   But either way, it seems to me to be applicable.   —    kmab]

Recovering From The #45 / COVID Induced Inflation / Recession

Speaking Of #45

He is not only dull himself;  he is the cause of dullness in others.
—    Samuel Johnson
[#IncompetentDonald is a dullard, a liar and corrupt.  I don’t know if all of his Administration is / are dull, but they certainly appear to be liars and corrupt, too.  “The Donald” appears to be the one bad apple who spoils the entire barrel.  That is only “appearance”.  Unfortunately, the Republican party has been on this slide since the days of Richard Nixon, accelerated by Ronald Reagan and then fully devolved by Newt Gingrich.    —    kmab]
