    Michelle said something I agree with ...

    To roughly quote: "People in high positions aren't as smart
    as you think they are".
    Absolutely right, In fact I think most of them are ferking morons.
    Just think for a minute about all the really dumbass things people
    in or who were in the Trump administration have said that have
    landed them in hot water. All the ones under Muella's microscope
    have landed there mostly by something they said either before,
    during or after the election campaign. Many of these people just
    can't resist going in front of a TV camera and spouting off usually
    on a subject they know nothing about, and then later have to
    crawfish when challenged. I've come to the conclusion that Trump
    is surrounded or was, probably still is, by virtual incompetents who
    just can't refrain from giving their opinion about their boss just to
    get invited to the all-important cocktail parties.

    DT, well-stated, but the guy at the top has also engaged in some sloppy business. It may just be how it is with these guys. When Nancy P. told him on TV that the GOP didn't have the votes for a $5B wall expenditure, she was at that moment the "smartest guy in the room."

      The problem is people in high positions aren't as smart as THEY think they are.

          Psychologists have a name for it when it's really on display. The Dunning-Kruger effect.

            And the Three Stooges are classic examples.

              Actually I was thinking it applied most obviously to the people slinging the Nazi term around, buttressed apparently with this fabulous logic:

              I don't like Nazis.

              I don't like Mr. X.

              Therefore, Mr. X is a Nazi.
              You gotta love it.

                Why are you so upset @ the label of National Socialism? Your party has taken up the banner and flies it proudly and applauds the outcome.

                  Known as a rash generalization: e.g.
                  Cats have a tail, ergo: all animals with tails are cats.
