Remove All Doubt
A classic aphorism from yesteryear goes: “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” It appears, however, that many contemporary Americans have FORGOTTEN this sage advice. People are speaking up in record numbers and, by doing so, are establishing their “fool” credentials inexorably. Some recent examples:
The reader will recall that pornographic “actress” Stormy Daniels achieved quite a bit of notoriety recently when she reneged on a non disclosure agreement (for which she was paid a considerable sum) involving a sexual laison that she may or may not have had with citizen Donald Trump in 2007. Now it should be apparent to all, that her “kiss and tell” revelations would result in considerable monetary gain for this savvy entrepreneur. Book deals will likely follow as will new movie offers. And on top of that, there will be increased demand for her previous films. All in all, the increased notoriety she’s achieved with her exposé will likely reward her bank account handsomely. This should be apparent to EVERYONE with a functional cerebral cortex . So, when asked, during a 60 Minutes interview with (a rather poker faced) Anderson Cooper, why people should believe her claims now since they conflict with her earlier SWORN statements, her incredulous reply: “Because I have NOTHING TO GAIN.” “NOTHING TO GAIN???!!!” “What the…..?!” The fact that she would put this spurious explanation out to the 60 minutes audience, would suggest that she is not the “brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.” Verdict: All doubt removed.
The next “remove all doubt” moment, is indisputably claimed by Georgia Congressman Hank Jeffries. This one is so bizarre that the reader will likely doubt its authenticity. So, for all you doubting Thomases out there, I will give the YouTube link so you can SEE for yourself:
This episode involves a Congressional hearing in which Congressman Jeffries is questioning Admiral Robert Willard about deploying additional troops to the island of Guam. Mr. Jeffries questions the Admiral at length about the small size of the island and the fact that it’s narrow. So why is Jeffries going into the island’s geography in detail? Well, it turn’s out there’s a reason! Mr. Jeffries is concerned. What is he concerned about? Well, he’s concerned about adding additional personel to the island. Why is he concerned about adding additional personel? I will now quote Mr. Jeffries VERBATIM: “My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will TIP OVER AND CAPSIZE.” That’s it! That’s his concern! That the whole island will “TIP OVER AND CAPSIZE”, like a boat, because of over population!!!! What the….?! Confusing an island with a boat proves that he is “not the sharpest tool in the shed.” Verdict: All doubt removed!
And, lastly, one of the absolute MASTERS of “remove all doubt” is so good at this skill, that I am forced to present TWO quotes from the same individual, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (Mad Max) from California. (The source for both quotes that follow: www.azquotes.com) Firstly, Ms. Waters, when talking about participating in women’s protest marches, says, and, again, this is VERBATIM: “I HAVE to march, because my mother couldn’t have an abortion!” What the…?! (The irony, is, apparently, lost on her!) Secondly, again VERBATIM: “Why do do you think (Russians) hacked into our election? Because they have to make sure that Donald Trump got elected so that he could help them with what I think is a huge deal, not only to lift these sanctions, but to take over, y’know, all of these countries and pull ‘em back into the Soviet Union, so they could have access to all of these resources. It’s clear to me!” Wait, DONALD TRUMP IS SUPPOSED TO HELP THE RUSSIANS PULL COUNTRIES BACK INTO THE DEFUNCT SOVIET U ! NION???!!! What the….?! The fact that Ms. Waters would provide such blatantly illogical explanations in a setting where she can be quoted proves that she is “one taco short of a combination platter.” Verdict: All doubt removed! TWICE.
Unbelievable! And these people are running our country!
And these people multiply!!!
These people multiply!
Yes, indeed they do. It has never been proven that a brain is necessary for reproduction! Lol!
OMG.
So true Bob. We are so screwed up that that there are days where I sometimes think that ONLY Divine intervention can save us.
God help this country with people like this representing us no wonder the world pokes fun at our politicians.
So true, Vincent. For many people we are a laughingstock.
