Margaret and Helen: Ten Monkeys Tweeting On Ten IPhones Would Make A Better President Than Trump

Ten Monkeys Tweeting On Ten IPhones Would Make A Better President Than Trump

“Meryl Streep is one of the most overrated actresses…” as a comeback has about as much intellectual maturity as “I know you are, but what am I?” And he couldn’t even do it in 140 characters. It took him 16 minutes and 417 characters to write the literary equivalent of “I’m made of rubber and you’re made of glue.” Good Lord, he can’t even use an ellipsis correctly.

Three dots, Donald. Three.

Honestly, ten monkeys banging on ten typewriters could have come up with a better response in less time. And it should come as no surprise that Trump had already forgotten a year earlier telling the Hollywood Reporter that “Meryl Streep is excellent.” We can only hope a year from now the man also forgets he was elected President and just wanders back to Trump Tower never to return to Washington. Of course that would leave us with Pence…

But I don't think Pence would fire the guys in charge of the nuclear arsenal. That scares the crap out of me.

Both highly regarded in physics, at the top of their field.

Drumpf appoints former TX governor Perry, who if I am not mistaken does not have a science degree -- does he have any college level degree, let alone a PhD? The DOE has control of US nuclear weapons research and development.

I worked at one of the national labs in the late 70's in my senior year of university. Needless to say the security was fucking tight. But everybody who worked there knew their field. My speciality was computer analysis in physics. We worked with teletypes and IBM cards in those days.

Nobody who is sane would argue that Rick Perry is qualified for DOE Secy. NOBODY!

Rick Perry will find a new pair of eyeglasses that will make him look like a nuclear wizard!

And it's not like it is a difficult position, he only has to remember......
