‘Close enough for government work’! Impeachment managers seem really confused about where Charlottesville is located

Donald Trump liked to say that he only hires the best people, but that’s doing a disservice to Democrats.

Because they’re clearly just as adept as he is when it comes to judging their people’s competence:

[Kid Shelleen]

Impeachment manager exhibit incorrectly identifies Charlottesville, VA, as Charlottesville, NC AND Diana DeGette thought it was in Charlottesville, WV.

[Gahanna Bob]

OMG!

[SuperLuminal]

Well, give them a break... With 57 states to keep track of it can get confusing...

[Boogieman]

This Charlotte chick really got around, eh?

[ptsal]

Core geography

[Brilliant]

They defamed 3 states without trying.

[know.your.why]

I dont get it. Is knowing where Charlottesville is located a prerequisite for anyone in politics? I dont know where it is...but I know where Charlotte, NC is...because, well, I friggin used to work there!

[eyedigress]

Nobody has ever accused a Libtard of being bright about anything.

[McGavin999]

It’s because they say Trump supported white supremacy in Charlottesville....but they don’t know where that is.

[cnsmom]

Democrats only know where the states that need bailouts are.But seeing that the Democrats often hold retreats near Charlottesville, If they have forgotten where it is then they may have dementia.

Of course not. Easy mistake to make. But if your party has been falsely vilifying Trump for his reaction to what happened at Charlottesville for years and claiming it justifies his current impeachment, then, yes, you should be able to correctly what state Charlottesville is in.

> ‘Close enough for government work’ <

It’s a side point, but I spent some time working in a steel mill. And ‘government work’ meant doing work for yourself on company time.

As in...

Joe is working in a steel mill. But instead of doing his assigned job, Joe is building a birdhouse for his back yard.

Joe’s pal: “Whatcha doing there, Joe?”
Joe: “I’m doing government work.”
Joe’s pal: “Gotcha. See you at lunch.”

I mention this only in case someone here is writing a novel about working in a steel mill. 🙂

Why are these a-holes even bringing up Charlottesville at all?!

One, it had nothing to do with President Trump (despite the Dims twisting his words), and two, it certainly has nothing to do with the events of January 6, which is what I thought the Dim impeachment managers said this dog & pony show had to be limited to.

I guess if the Dims can be allowed to go off on a tangent, then the Trump Team can bring up the election fraud, right?

Leemmme help ya with that. When you're a Senator, impeachment manager or some so-called high powered attorney and you're preparing a case and using evidence, you're supposed to know what the hell you're talking about.

What do the debunked stories about Charlottesville from 2016 have to do with this?

[cyclotic]

It’s a two hour limo ride for these morons. They disparage an entire nation because of something that supposedly happened and they can’t even be bothered to figure out where it is.

[Mr. K]

I remember when idiot Al Gore was running, and he went on TV and said how proud he was that the mark of quality was when somebody said something was “good enough for government work”

I would like to shake the hand of the wise ass who told him that. I bet Factory workers were doing spit-takes all over the country, And laughing their asses off.

Plot:

In 1974, John Adams Gates tells his grandson, Benjamin Franklin Gates, a story in which Charles Carroll of Carrollton passed on a secret to their ancestor, Thomas Gates, in 1832 of a fabled treasure taken from ancient empires throughout history that was discovered by the Knights Templar and later protected by the Freemasons. The treasure would eventually be hidden in America by the Founding Fathers. The clue leading to the treasure is the phrase "The secret lies with Charlotte." While Ben is convinced by the story, his skeptical father, Patrick, dismisses it as nonsense.

National Treasure

[BipolarBob]

At least she didn’t say South Virginia.

>>What do the debunked stories about Charlottesville from 2016 have to do with this? <<

I did not watch the show trial but apparently the dopes prosecuting Trump thought the Charlottesville incident was relevant. Charlottesville, VA has been referenced literally hundreds of times in the last 4 years. Biden said it was inspiration for his 2020 run and mentioned it in his acceptance speech. You would think they would know which state it was in.
