If someone who can't pronounce "Yosemite" can become POTUS, kids can miss some in-class instruction

Call me an optimist, but if someone who can’t pronounce “Yosemite” can become President of the United States, I feel like your kids can miss a few months of in-class instruction and still become whatever they want to be.

For those who didn't read/hear about it, on Tuesday, trumpty dumpty called Yosemite, "YO-SEE-MIGHT"

It certainly seems to be a quality that's completely lacking in his life, unless he applies it to himself.

taken to a national or state park to walk, hike, swim, camp, explore. I don't want him to go now, though, because I don't want him to get any ideas about building a tower, hotel, or condos in the middle of the Grand Canyon, etc.

party is worthy of true visceral hate.

Not that trumpie and his hangers-on are really repuglicons - they're hucksters, bottom of the sewer dwellers.

They were having an election strategy meeting, Kanye and Donnie, and he heard Kanye holler out to Jarod, “Yo......Semite, bring me and yo fuckin Wife’s Daddy toy some diet cokes!”

Instead of identifying animal crackers, would be to pronounce a list of words.

You know, complex, multi syllable words like "LOSER", and "TRAITOR", and "TREASON" and then MUCH MORE complicated 3 syllable words like "TREASONOUS" and IMBECILE".

And then throw in some place names like "Louisiana" and "Mississippi". (yeah, I know that last one will be HARD!!)

To accept this nitwit’s failure and incompetence is to basically lower your standards and accept mediocrity. This is the kiss of death. Once you start down the road of lowering your standards you will fail personally, in terms of your career and as a culture and a nation.

Donnie Dumbass mangles words without any indication that he even knows what he is saying, along with his gibberish pathetic explanations, followed up with the words,
'This is why the United States is in danger from him failing to address multiple threats that are getting worse.'

"And then the Lord said to the Yosemites from behind a burning Ranger Station, 'lo, you are my chosen people, and shall dwell in a natural paradise in the land of California. There shall be abundance and tranquility, but should you stray from my path, I will send you hosts of evil destroyers known as Republicans to wreak death and destruction. I admonish ye, fuck up not, O my Yosemites!' "
