And really have that dialogue
Oh for heaven’s SAKE.
Yes, we know, we could tell. He was “digesting the information” that disinfectants can remove a virus from hard surfaces, and telling us all about it the way a toddler tells us all about what she just learned. It’s sweet when a toddler does it, it’s not sweet at all when a 73-year-old criminal who is president of the US does it.
He’s way too old and way too in a responsible job that he himself sought to be just learning basic facts of that kind, let alone babbling nonsense at us in public about what he just learned, let alone babbling nonsense of the type “it would be a good idea for everyone to drink Lysol to get the virus out.”
Of course he had just learned it. Of course he was vomiting out every stupid thought about it that floated through the mush inside his skull. We know all that. None of that makes it okay.
Nice way of saying it was mind vomit from an ignorant fool. Good on her, I wouldn’t have bothered to find a diplomatic way of putting it. She’s not fired (yet), but I’m sure she’s under no small amount of pressure.
I visualized it as that obnoxious “precocious” kid that parents trot out at dinner parties who proceeds to take over the conversation by poorly explaining things the guests already know and then proudly revealing their own painfully bad improvements and insights that nobody’s ever thought of because they’re wrong and stupid. And all the guests have to smile and nod and be diplomatic.
Sastra,
Now we’re all worried that we’re that kid.
Hahahaha and most of us are that kid to some degree.
On the plus side, from my pov, I’ve never been to a dinner party of that kind, thankyoujesus.
