Always rise above! It’s so easy not to be baited by bullshit 🥰

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning.

Trump’s latest blunder is a masterclass in cluelessness, praising the Liberian president for speaking “beautiful” English-when it’s the official language of Liberia. Ignorance struts boldly on the world stage. This man’s grasp of basic facts is a crumbling sandcastle, washed.

'Racist And Wrong': Trump Schooled After 'Completely Embarrassing' White House Moment The president complimented Liberia's leader for speaking English, which is the country's official language.

The CIA Director Didn’t Read His Own Report If he had, he would have known that it said basically the opposite of what he says it did.
