    Obama’s presidency was great because it showed that a black man can be president.

    Now we know you can also be an idiot.

      In a way, America is great because anyone can be president, from constitutional scholars to abject morons and scummy grifters. The land of freedom and opportunity for all. Between supporting Bush and Trump, the GOP has taught us so much about tolerance and inclusion of all kinds of people, not only those that are intelligent, qualified and well-meaning.

        You know that’s not true. It’s only a facade. You can only be president of you have billions of corporate bribes lobby money. Tell me an instance where a regular joe working 9 to 5 thought he should contribute to society and then became president.

    To be fair, the British didn’t have great air superiority, so they were doomed from the start.

    There was someone on Reddit claiming to be an educator who said Trump has a reading disability which is not that uncommon. According to them when most people read a word they don’t need to see every letter, the context and a few letters is enough. Sort of like how the art form impressionism works. Tht xplns hw u cn rd ths. Not everyone has this ability which explains how Trump might confuse words like rampart and airport. It also explains why he says things off the cuff and doesn’t use a teleprompter. Ever see him read? It’s painful to watch, like a fourth grader reading a book report. I’ll bet when he gave a state of the union speech they practiced with him for many hours

    Ramparts are the parts that you ram, airports are the holes that let air in. Makes perfect sense if you’re only vaguely aware of what words mean.

    Those British Horse and Buggybombers devasted our Minuteman bases, but our technology of wooden radar towers allowed a sure victory for our FighterStallions in the Battle of Trenton.
