And Very Few People Know That It’s Dark at Night.
You know how when Trump learns something new, he says, “Very few people know…” and then says something that any fourth grader knows. Something like, “Very few people know that Jupiter is big. They think it’s small because they can’t see it.” When that happens you immediately know that the day before he thought Jupiter was small and totally invisible.
New one. If he can’t do it, it’s too complicated.
You really don’t want to know what else he said.
Yes, the Bozo in Chief wants to go back to balsa wood planes and the Wright Brothers’ souped-up model.
Very few people know that the Spirit of St Louie didn’t have a passenger section. So, we needed to take a step further, but dammit, that’s far enough.
People go to school. They learn things. You cannot prissy up to the Boeing showroom and ask to test drive one of those things. Hell, you have to go to school and have a license to give a perm in Texas. It’s that complicated.
Donald, do you want to know the best example of “an unnecessary step further?” Your hair, Skippy.
“I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great great wall on our southern border and I’ll have Mexico pay for that wall.”
“… always seeking to go one unnecessary step further…”
Have we reached Peak Trump? Are there finally enough Trump quotes available to showcase the hypocritical stupidity of everything else he says?
1He wants to go back to balsa wood because he loves sniffing the Duco cement.
2Which explains a lot about his, erm, ‘cognitive abilities.,
Amazing how the bloody stupid seem to always think they’re smarter than everyone else.
3The Electoral College has proven one unnecessary step further.
4There’s no way he wrote that. It has some complete sentences and is correctly spelled and punctuated. Dumb, yes, but clearly typed by someone else. Barron?
5Worked many years for a company that made airplanes that required the pilots flying them not only be MIT caliber but also drop bombs and shoot guns at the same time. Flying a plane takes intelligence, training and common sense. No way that guy in the White House could qualify as a pilot.
6Then again, he could qualify as a crash test dummy. I’d like to see the video. Soon.
7He has certainly come down with an intense case of Old Cootism. I hear this a lot from very, very old people who never had a good grounding in any kind of science. Consequently they feel “bothered.”
8Harken’ back to yesteryear, a simpler time of ease and tranquility.
Let us go for a Sunday drive to Grandma’s for dinner, in Mr. Ford’s wonderful Model T.
To start the car one need only
a. check the fuel level with a dip stick located under the front seat.
b. prime the engine following a few steps. Ignition in the off position, hand brake fully back and locked, throttle lever half advanced, spark lever all the way up to full retard, at front of car turn starting crank three times while pumping choke lever your left hand.
c. start engine by; turning ignition to battery, set fuel lever about 1/4 of the way open, back to the front of car turn the crank with LEFT hand while grasping fender with your right hand for leverage, repeat as necessary.
d. after start advance spark lever till engine smooths out, retard fuel lever to idle, turn ignition switch to magneto, and let idle 3 to 5 minutes till warm.
Oh for the Good Ole Days. ( they weren’t )
9How old are you Cole? (Just idle curiosity) I feel old, and I had no idea of any of that.
10Here in Alaska we have a lot of small airplanes which do not bother with all those fancy electronic doodads, like tracking by satellite system when they’re flying. Just look out the window and try not to hit the mountain somewhere in the clouds . . .
We’ve been searching for one of those airplanes for six days now. Disappeared somewhere near Rainy Pass on Wednesday March 6. No sign yet.
I’m kinda glad the big commercial jets have the electronics.
11@Buttermilk Sky
Maybe one of the grand kids?
12So we are going to outfit Space Force with the planes of yesteryear? Maybe some old World War II planes.
13@ Cole. I don’t go quite that far back, but I remember when we first got dial telephones
14Hey, I’m OK with trading in Air Force One for an old time-y open cockpit biplane for the Orange Menace to fly back and forth to his various golf courses. The fresh air might do him some good.
15In the second part of the tweet, he said he didn’t want Einstein to be his pilot. I can agree with that. Einstein died in 1955, so I think his reflexes are a little slow.
16I agree with Buttermilk Sky– Trump couldn’t have written that. There’s not a single “very” in it, much less the usual double.
17I wonder what version Sarah Palin used when she buzzed around scaring the bajeesus out of innocent animals. She’s not very complex either.
