Remember those bumper stickers, “If you think education is expensive, try ignorance”? We’re literally trying ignorance.

He was on a rage roll today outside the WH doors. “Impeachment is a dirty, filthy, disgusting word.” Translation: he’s scared shitless.

It’s well established via those “statistics” thingamajigs that the higher the education level, the lower the birthrate.

Democracy by definition is suicide by way of rewarding the least informed the greatest voice.

I saw a whole movie about that once. Was supposed to be 500 years in the future. But it just struck me our own President Camacho was once in a reality show called “The Apprentice.” Now he’s in a reality show spinoff of it called “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.”

Well, I’ll be smothered in syrup (or dipped in sh*t depending on how this turns out and if the karmic wheel of Congressional corruption aka K Street is actually slowed a bit).

Pretty sure he doesn’t have the brains or creativity…

Maybe rewatch the whole thing. Mickey was well-intentioned, trying to solve a real problem.

The orangutan has never exhibited such intelligence.

Still gonna argue with you ruining Mickey’s good name by comparing him to the spawn of Hitler/Stalin/Mussolini/Pol Pot/Putin/Erdogan.

Why don’t we agree that Mickey was a great artist playing a comic role. Like Chaplin’s Little Tramp, or Brando as Colonel Kurtz. :smile:

Oh for sure among people who know each other it’s obviously chitchat to pass the time. But sometimes you make a comparison and some rando says “But that’s not really a good analogy because in the sequel ‘Apocalypse a Week Later’ you find out the wombat was a double agent” and you want to yell oh God get a fucking life willya? Sometimes people just want to post for the sake of posting. Even when it’s me doing it I think it’s annoying so with other people you can imagine.
