    No, I'm saying you could have started threads on things that were actually mistakes made due to being unintelligent, instead of just mispronunciations.

    I don't think you did though.

    You've probably mispronounced things. I know I have. I guess that makes us all a little bit like President Trump.

    Warm fuzzies.

    No, you don't think President Trump is stupid for saying something stupid, you just think Pelosi and Waters are stupid for saying stupid things?

    I mispronounce things. We all do. But we're not POTUS.

    I don't doubt that Obama knows more about Namibia than the United States. I'm glad the current president doesn't have that problem...

    No. Saying that North Korea is being invaded by Russia, or that there are 58 states, is not the same type of mistake as a mispronunciation.

    The 58 states things is closer, but it's more of a mistake.

    One is a factual error, the other is just a mispronunciation.

    I doubt Namibia comes up much in conversations.

    BS, for decades, going back through Dan Quayle and Reagan to Nixon, the MSM branch of the gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-trial lawyer MSM Complex has overemphasized the gaffes of its political opposition while all but ignoring the gaffes of its own. This is done to disingenuously paint political opposition as uneducated and stupid. That you and yours won't acknowledge this plain fact of U.S. media is one reason why people are leaving you in droves and voting in populists like Trump.

    Why would I think the Oval Office is sacred? I don't worship the government and God doesn't reside in the White House.

    I'll comment on the contents of any post I feel like commenting on.

    You claimed the confines of the White House were "once sacred" and I countered that President Clinton defiled them long before your bête noire Trump moved in. You can argue the point but nobody is forcing you to do so...

    Trump can barely read and has the attention span of a flea. We're supposed to believe he knows modern geography?

    No, I don't think I did.

    I was more concerned with the actual destruction of the country, the creation and spread of ISIS, the lack of doing anything in Syria for like 7 years, the overthrow of governments, the AG forcing gun dealerships to sell firearms to drug cartels, the increasing corruption in government, Solyndra, Pigford, our embassies being attacked...

    You know, stuff like that.

    Okay, you don't respect the Oval Office. I do.

    I didn't vote for Bill Clinton. I don't vote for Democrats. That's why I didn't vote for the current occupant in the Oval Office either.

    Back to the OP. I'm still trying to figure out why someone would invoke the name of a country to make a point and then not educate himself in the name of the country. Then again, it is Donald J. Trump we're talking about here. Reality TV game show hosts are not the most astute people in the world.

    The fact that you laugh at a simple mispronunciation of a foreign country's name says volumes about your intelligence.

    Clearly it was a mispronunciation, kind of like saying Corpseman instead of Corpsman.

    You didn't vote for him? That would really surprise me.

    Was there someone even more liberal on the ticket, I don't remember.

    We know, you remind us every 3 or 4 posts how "conservative" you are.

    I wonder why.

    Ironically, only game show hosts probably know about Namibia. It's right up Alex Trebek's alley after all.

    There is nothing disingenuous about it at all. The fact that Trump won and your post prove they are correct.

    Okay, you worship the government and I don't.

    I didn't vote for Bill Clinton. I vote for Republicans, which is why I voted for the candidate who won the Republican nomination for president. You didn't vote Republican, surprise surprise, but we already know that...

    Meh - I don't get triggered over these things. I'll leave that to the Legion of Butthurt...

    She's not laughing at "a simple" mispronunciation. She's laughing with tears in her eyes at the ignorant, arrogant fool who mispronounced it in front of the entire world.

    Sorry, but world leaders are supposed to know something about the world.

    Before Trump, this sort of buffoonery was limited to third world dictators.

    The only person using the word "worship" is you. Why do you lie like that?

    I didn't vote for Clinton either. I only vote for Republicans, which is why I didn't vote for the Democrat in the Oval Office today, the good friend of Chuck and Nancy.

    I call myself a fiscal conservative and a social moderate, but not every 3 or 4 posts. Of course you will back that up now, right - how I refer to myself as a "conservative" every 3 or 4 posts. If you can't, that would mean you lied.

    Actually, educated people know about Namibia. That would explain why the Trump fans don't.
