Somebody shut this idiot up

[xenon]

He has been elected, ergo any idiotic behavior he exhibits must be classified as non-idiotic behavior.

[Mik]

You miss my point entirely. I was addressing calling the man an idiot, which he clearly is not. Any individual act can be assessed on its own merits.

Well that’s a philosophical question. How many individual acts of idiocy does a person have to commit before they’re can be labeled an idiot wholesale?

Now you’re being idiotic.

Well, I called Hillary "jiggly."
So, as they say in the old country, before criticizing Mark I need to sweep under my own porch.
But she is. But only when she cackles, then she's jiggly. Can't help it, can't stand her.

I may have seen or heard Mr. Trump act like an idiot, but I can't remember it. I would be very surprised, he is not an idiot.

I think this is a word use problem. Jerk, might work if you feel that way or impolite but not idiot.

He just isn't an idiot. Check your word use.

@Mik Presidents are elected based on showmanship, charisma, storytelling ability, among others. He’s got talents there.

Governing is based on other traits.

Yes he needed certain talents to get elected - but he can prove himself an idiot on dimensions on display when you’re in the job.

@Copper if you tweet about your corona virus tv ratings, not only are you an idiot, but that fits my definition of a fucking tone deaf moron.

But hey - it’s subjective.

[Mik]

You are objectively wrong, Xenon. It is only your desire to use that term because of your biases.

OK, yes this is a word use problem.

That post actually introduces several other problems with the words used.

Subjective really isn't the right word either.

[Mik]

Again, you miss the point entirely.

[xenon]

@Mik yeah, I missed your objective criteria on idiot classification and nomenclature.

[Doctor Phibes]

How about douchebag? Can we at least agree on that?

[Mik]

Ok, you're a douchebag.

[Doctor Phibes]

I'm only a Class C, Category 3.1 douchebag based on objective and rigorous testing.

So sad.

No, what's sad, is if we actually listened to you. Carry on...
