#DullDonald

Many of us are dull, but not as dull as the grandchildren think we are.
—    William Feather
[I’m pretty sure the #IdiotInChief is exactly as dull (incompetent and dumb) as we think he is.  He’s probably as dull (boring) as the grandchildren think he is, too.    —     kmab]

Being President Doesn’t Make You Presidential

#DonTheCon In The Oval Office

The most difficult jobs look easy until you try to do them.
—    William Feather
[So much for “Repeal & Replace“.  Too easy…  Now, can someone please explain to me why a significant tax reduction for the wealthy and a minor reduction for the middle class is labeled “Tax Reform” by the Republicans and #DumbDonald.  Could it be because they believe the middle class is as dumb as the President has shown himself to be incompetent?    —    kmab]

Or The Candidate Who…

Beware of the man who won’t be bothered with details.
—     William Feather
[The Presidential candidate who thinks national health insurance is easy.  …And then “discovers” it isn’t.  “Who knew?”  The candidate who claims to be smarter than the generals and has his own plan to defeat ISIS quickly.  …And then six months into his term does exactly what “the generals” recommend – escalate involvement and continue the war.  The candidate who says he can act Presidential any time he wants to and who thinks “acting” Presidential is boring.   …And then demeans the Office by being a buffoon.  Welcome to reality politics USA style.    —    kmab]

Got Education?

An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know.  It’s being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don’t.  It’s knowing where to go to find out what you need to know, and it’s knowing how to use the information once you get it.

Decisions

When the gardeners are praying for rain, the picnickers are praying for sunshine.  So what is the poor Lord to do?
—    William Feather
[When the majority is praying for affordable health care, the rich are praying for lower taxes.  So what is the “poor” President to do?  How about what he promised…  Better and cheaper for everyone.   Wake me up when it looks like “we” are going to start winning so much I’ll get tired of it.    —    kmab]
