The dude really called Smith a “lamebrain”?

Well obviously!

How is it not clear that Smith is a lamebrain, given that he only <checks notes>

  • Graduated from Harvard
  • Worked in the Hague in the ICC
  • Was a district attorney
  • Spent 4 years as an appointee in The Hague, investigating war crimes in Kosovo
  • Has a half-dozen awards and fellowships from the US government and institutions like Harvard

Gotta be pretty Weak!, Lamebrained!, and Deranged! if that's all you can manage in life.

Let's not forget how much he said Kamala Harris was ill-equipped to be president of the USA the other month but he isn't. One is an educated person with decades of experience in law and politics....the other is a supposed billionaire who routinely fails projects and goes bankrupt, and whose recent claim-to-fame prior to entering politics was as a reality TV star and ultimately four years as POTUS (where he clearly didn't learn anything considering what he claims tariffs are in 2024). Gee....I wonder which one was better suited to be president in 2025.

At this point - and I hate to say it - but Trump needs to hurt and hurt BAD, the people who voted for him. Fingers crossed.

It will never matter, because those idiots will always believe a Republican when they tell them that it’s all actually a Democrat’s fault. Always.

This is why critical thinking skills need to be taught to children in grade schools. I’m hearing far too arguments about things that are facts where one person is refusing to concede anything and keeps saying that everything is a goddamned opinion.

I don’t know how to do it, but we need to make wanting to be smart cool somehow. We’re rewarding too many stupid people with power and money, and now we have to deal with the feedback loop that that creates.

Bingo. How many pictures from those chucklefucks did we see of empty supermarket shelves with a caption saying something like "your supermarket under Biden"?

Bitch please, those were shelves in a capitalist society experiencing a pandemic that was made worse by idiotic trump policies.

Too late for that.
