A few months ago, “The Daily Show” had a recurring segment asking, “Who is the real president?” Their roundup included influential conservatives in and out of the White House. Since President Donald Trump has proven time and time again that he is easily played – it is clear from his conduct and his statements that Trump does not know what he’s doing as president – anyone from Satan to Vladimir Putin could be featured on the list. Given his ignorance, a president who has little-to-no understanding of how government works must be influenced by a more knowledgeable party, if for no other purpose than to simply fill in the gaps in his awareness...
In the end, it doesn’t really matter who holds the official title of president, especially not in the wake of a government shutdown for which both parties are openly blaming each other – in particular, a political climate where senators and the president insult each other on Twitter. It doesn’t matter who’s calling the shots in the Oval Office when outside, citizens can turn the tide for good. The 2018 election isn’t far away and right now, with Republicans controlling the legislative branch during a tumultuous and disappointing time for their constituents, more people than ever might be motivated to vote and change the make-up of the House of Representatives and Senate. In November, and in all upcoming special elections, every vote counts.

That is among my favorite gifs of all time. Thanks, it always brings a smile to my face, and some good old schaedenfreud for my soul.
Oops, didn’t read that it was “Sophie” Allen. So I have to correct my post and replace the word “guy” with the word “gal” - but I stand by the rest.
Ah, didn’t see your post about the D-K Effect before I posted #60. However, I must say that I LOVE your first rule...it is as funny as it is accurate.
I can’t take credit. Another poster created and first posted it.
Haha, good one!
Obama had eight years of unobstructed power, and failed to get permanent amnesty and open borders implemented -- and made excuses for it when confronted by some Latino demagogue. But since the airhead who disgorged the ignorant racist screed for the Collegian has no concept of reality, it is probable she's unaware of it. Thanks pabianice.
