    @Mik said in Somebody shut this idiot up:

    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?

    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.

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