AYE!!!!<\/strong> This image does a better job of explaining Trump’s latest idiocy than anything else I’ve seen. Honestly, I never cease to be amazed at some of the crap people believe because of what politicians promised to them!<\/p>\n <\/a>— 2 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n *snort*<\/strong> The day that Trump’s 2nd Amendment comments hit the press, my friend Neil was making comments like, “Where are my 19th Amendment<\/a> people? You know what to do!” “21st Amendment<\/a> people, rock on!”<\/p>\n So… where my 19th Amendment<\/a> and 26th Amendment<\/a> people??? Do your thing!<\/p>\n <\/a>— 3 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Let’s clear this up.<\/strong> Do you think that voting Republican is going stop abortion? Think again. This<\/a> is why.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 4 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Don’t criticize what you can’t understand.<\/strong> I thought this list of 11 brutal truths every baby boomer needs to hear<\/a> was fabulous. I’m smack on the border between being a Gen X’er and a Millenial so I could pretty much side with everythng that was said.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 5 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Olympics Take #1.<\/strong> While I think it’s certainly questionable as to whether or not Yulia Efimova should be swimming in these Olympics with the doping issue she has, I think Lilly King was being a brat about it<\/a>. Wagging her finger was one thing; but refusing to shake Efimova’s hand afterwards and making catty remarks is quite another. Her reaction is inviting some serious schadenfreude<\/em> if she ever slips up in any way in her life.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 6 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Olympics Take #2.<\/strong> Was it not completely awesome to see Michael Phelps school Chad Le Clos in the 200m butterfly?!?!?!?!? Especially after Le Clos was trying to get a reaction out of him the night before!<\/p>\n Phelps was classy about it. He did make the #1 signal on both hands, but he had the grace to go over and give Le Clos a hug after the race. <\/p>\n <\/a>— 7 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Olympics Take #3.<\/strong> I’m watching the all-around finals right now and while the results were a foregone conclusion, it’s still cool that we went 1-2 like we did in 2008. I’m also excited to see what Laurie Hernandez will be like in 4 years with more experience.<\/p>\n For more Quick Takes, visit Kelly at This Ain’t The Lyceum<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" — 1 — All in favor of requiring those seeking election to federal or state government to pass a test on basic government concepts, say “aye”.
