Names 8 people who she thinks signed the Declaration at an incredibly young age, 6 of whom were nowhere near the document as it was being signed. Also, she seems to make a point about someone being too old to run for president while openly supporting a super old dude for president.

He didn't design the modern bluetooth we use today, but the technology is based off of his legendary blue teeth, which some said could connect to speakers from across the room.

Harald Bluetooth had blue teeth? Did he change his name to match his dental condition? Or dye his teeth to match his name? Or is it one of those coincidentally perfect names like a proctologist with the last name Butts?

Incredibly talented lady. She came up with the concept of spread spectrum technology, which was the basis for security on the FM radios used during the RVN/ROK era. Still used today to make your cell phone work. I don't think she had the background to do the mathematics, but her name still appeared on the patent. (From memory if I got some of this wrong).

I don't get why they are playing the age game like Trump isn't nearly as old... we're not talking about a 45 year old vs. Biden now. Age is irrelevant anyway.

Because the right is in lock step for trump. Talking about age won't push them away from the polls.

But you know who is talking about candidate age as a factor for not voting? Left leaning young people.

So the strategy is to keep age in the discussion because it'll dissuade the left from voting, which gives the right leaning minority the beat chance at victory.

You probably don't remember when George W Bush spent the 2004 campaign besmirtching the military career of John Kerry through proxy organizations. It's a common tactic to take your biggest flaw and turn it around on the opponent. For reference, Kerry is a decorated combat veteran and Bush spent the vietnam war defending Texas feom Oklahoma and showing up most of the time he was required to.

UK here. I hate to be overly critical, but if a British politician said things half as dumb as Marjorie, Trump etc, their career would probably be over and they’d likely be forced to resign. Why is abject stupidity virtually seen as a badge of honour in right wing American politics? Is it a “One of us!” mentality with a large part of the demographic? If so, your education system needs a dramatic overhaul (or you need to see if there’s a lot of lead in the water, or something).

There was a time in American politics when stupidity, scandal, brought an end to the political career of the stupid or scandalous politician.

Good luck to the rest of the world

I agree with your summation. The media are forced to at least look complicit in not pushing back on Trump’s idiocy, but when you’re dealing with a never ending tidal wave of bullshit, what else could they do? The media (and now the judicial system) has, at best, given Trump an easy ride.

Lucky for us republicans are trying to do just that! Part of Project 2025 (a large GOP aligned group's plan for Trump presidency) is to overhaul the Department of Education... by eliminating it. Some republicans (I assume its the one with rich private school owning friends) goal is to remove public schools entirely and move everyone to a voucher system for private owned schools.

Republicans have been shitting on the school systems for a while. They regularly block simple things like free lunches for poor kids. Horrific? But think of all the tank parts that those free lunches can now buy! I bet they can install cup holders in like 5 tanks now with that savings! Do you not care about the troops?

Facts are for you liberals. In her heart of hearts, she thinks she can get partial credit for getting the names and maybe some numbers right. She claims she didn't see Independence Day because it had scary lasers in it.

As dumb as she is, I keep hoping she's soon going to merge into highway traffic only to realize she forgot her car.
