    You are wrong. trump was only able to graduate because he cheated. he clearly did not cheat enough to get fine grades. There is no evidence trump can read a book either.

    I have more experience with the Ivies than you do. I do not mean that as an insult, just a statement of obvious fact. I was not born in 1966, but I know about a lot of things before I was born.

    The Ivies have never been shit, nor are they now. They will give degrees to less intelligent, well connected students, like trump. It is an odd mixture of the academically most gifted, and the socially most elite. It works for the Ivy League.

    When the Republicans talk about the government forcing the Ivies to change how they do things, they are talking about changing one of the most successful systems in the history of humanity.

    I have it on good authority that Trump can read fine, but that he does not like too.....his mother with the support of his father insisted that he read a lot as a kid....once he ran his own life he stopped reading as much as possible.

    So you say that trump stopped reading 56 years ago, but you think he might be able to start reading again, if he wanted to. I do not know about that. I do know that after a decade of not speaking a language, people generally forget much of it. I would assume after 56 years, trump would hardly be able to read.

    You assume to much, and you know what that means!

    That is the second time you have reversed "to" and "too."

    Anyway, they are your claims. I am just saying that after 56 years of not reading, trump would not be a good reader.

    What happens after you catch a pass? You run upfield, tuck accordingly.

    Is there a difference between sandlot and organized? There's a huge difference.

    I ran down the block the other day and was dogging it big time. This guy's got a lot to say. He should mind his business.
    I played sandlot with the kids that were on a organized team. I quickly found out what I didn't know.
    I joined the team.
    Have you ever played organized ball before kid?
    NO! Just with friends.
    You mean sandlot?
    Yes!
    Let's get you started.

    I couldn't find it.

    Greene and Boebert are certainly in the running, but no one, IMO, beats Matt Gaetz.

    He doesn't have the attention span for reading. Frankly I think he's dyslexic, in addition to all of his other intellectual deficits.

    I agree he's in that group of special people who make you cringe every time they open their mouths.

    Dyslexia would explain a lot. Some much for "good genes", eh?

    https://www.businessinsider.com/trum...d-genes-2020-9
    You have good genes. You know that, right? You have good genes. A lot of it is about the genes, isn't it, don't you believe? The racehorse theory. You think we're so different? You have good genes in Minnesota," Trump said to his supporters in a state where many people are of Scandinavian descent.

    Minnesota is about 79% white, according to the US Census Bureau, and the crowd on Friday appeared to reflect that.

    So? It just goes to show you that grades aren't everything. I like to call Kaine "The Grinning Ass." I watched him debate Pence during the 2016 election and god, he was awful. The guy knew little about policy and talked mainly in generalities and sound bites.

    Oh, I consider anyone who went to any law school a fool until proven otherwise. I have ZERO respect for liars--err, lawyers and their profession (and yes, I do let them know that on the occasions I've had to deal with the court system). I see a law degree as nothing but a very simple liberal art at the graduate level. I have more respect for someone who got an MA in music than a law degree. So, keep that in mind in the future when discussing liars--err, lawyers I always get the two confused--with me.

    So, while I don't hold Kaine to be on the level of utterly stupid moron I do some of the others I've listed, I do consider him to be a not-so-smart grinning ass of a politician who is mediocre at best at his chosen profession. Of course, that isn't saying much as we seem to rarely elect the best and brightest to public office in general.
