I’m having to deal with a Trump supporter on Quora.

mcgeo52 comments on Jul 5, 2019:

You can quote me on this: It takes a special kind of stupid to make four glaringly idiotic mistakes in just one sentence, especially when that sentence is part of a major address being televised to the nation and the world. In his July 4th speech Trump said: '“Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over airports, it did everything it had to do and at Ft. McHenry under the rocket’s red glare had nothing but victory.” 1) Our Army manned the air??? Prima facie stupidity of the first order. 2) It rammed the ramparts??? Ramparts are manned, not rammed. 3) It took over airports??? In 1776??? 4) There was no Ft. McHenty until 24 years later in 1800. There was no battle at Ft. McHenry until the war of 1812. Yep. That is a very special kind of stupid. It takes a very special kind of person to be proud of supporting that type of stupid. --- End of quotable part --- Copy and paste this everywhere you see this idiot on Quora.

Las Vegas letting drivers pay parking tickets with school supplies donation

mcgeo52 comments on Jul 1, 2019:

It's a great idea, but with the way the parking ticket racket is structured in California it would be difficult to implement it. The cities (including Long Beach, where I live) depend far too much on parking ticket revenue, and the school district has a completely separate budget. Any cost savings to the school district would not accrue to the city.

My dream of Trump's future: He is prosecuted and convicted by the State of New York and sentenced to 15 years in the correctional facility in Clinton, NY (yes, there is one, otherwise I would go with Sing Sing). In the facility he is in solitary with no phone, only a 50" TV tuned to CNN 24/7. On the TV he gets to learn that his election has been declared a fraud and everything he did is annulled. The commission to carry out the annulment is headed by Barack Obama. Every day for a year Trump gets to watch Obama reverse his orders, replace his judges, etc. Then he gets to watch Eric, Jr., and Ivanka executed for treason. After that, it's his turn. I could live with that.
