Thanks. And to think I survived all these years without knowing these basic facts 🙂
Yes, it is amazing that humans can survive without knowing all these useless facts.
The current president of the United States doesn’t have a single brain cell in his head. Neither do any of the people that voted for him.
He is probably hooked into a computer that is AI equipped.
For sure. I have been watching the week long non stop West Wing TV episodes I never got to see when the show was on and have become a real fan. I wish there was something similar on TY these days. Of course it’s a TV show but it really does give us common people an idea of how things are run in the White House, staff crises management and political personalities in constant rivalry. My point is I can’t imagine Bibben, Kamoooola and entire staff managing in a month what the TV show characterizes in just one episode and that’s frightening.
II too enjoyed watching West Wing when it aired, but I couldn’t take the extreme left wing agenda they messaged and quit.
Your observation about the current POTUS and VPOTUS are spot on. Neither could find themselves out of a closed paper bag.
