It is a foundational tenet of Trump hatred that the 45th president and all who support him are stupid. With the Senate impeachment trial underway, anyone criticizing it must be an idiot, because everyone knows that Trump is evil incarnate, possibly even worse than Hitler.
That may explain why Andrea Mitchell of NBC News thought she could shame Ted Cruz as an ignoramus for criticizing the Senate impeachment trial yesterday:
@SenTedCruz
says #ImpeachmentTrial is like Shakespeare full of sound and fury signifying nothing. No, that’s Faulkner

Fun coincidence: each of Jennifer Rubin's columns is 'a tale told by an idiot, full of lies and BS...signifying nonsense'.

The left really is as dumb as we believe especially the journalists. However, they still have that “evil” thing going for them so there’s that. Remember, never underestimate their ability to be both stupid and venal at the same time. What they lack in brain power they make up for in hypocrisy, hubris and dishonesty.

Their arrogance is blinding. It's entertaining when elites believe that they are the smartest people in the room, and then they find out... they are not.

Clearly my favorite quote FTA: “And for all the dunking on Mitchell here, the real superstar of that thread is Jennifer Rubin, far and away the dumbest pundit in all of American politics, rolling in for the high five and immediately stepping on a rake.” I am still laughing!

Cruz for POTUS 2024 ... as much as I hate robbing the Senate of any conservative leaning senator, Cruz is one that I could go for. And since he is from Texas he would be replaced by a conservative R.

Andrea is a Penn graduate, majored in English, and didn't study Shakespeare?
We studied Shakespeare in H.S.

I majored in biology and I have a minor in English and that was almost 50 years ago. I have read Shakespeare and I have read Faulkner including The Sound and the Fury. I understood Ted Cruz perfectly.

Mitchell and Rubin out-dumb each other even though they actually appeared in Act 4 Scene 1 of MacBeth with Christiane Amanpour.

I wouldn’t brag about any so-called smarts if I belong to the party that has members thinking Guam can tip over (Hank Johnson) or that AR-15’s shoot 50-caliber rounds (Sheila Jackson Lee).
On a side note: Why didn’t Miz Lee dump her two slaveowner names (Jackson and Lee) in the spirit of cancelling our evil history?

We had to learn a passage from Shakespeare in junior year of H.S. This was my selection. But, then again I didn't go to a fancy Ivy League college...just a small southern Cal Catholic school. Andrea probably mixes up "The Crucible" with the Crucifixion. I hear she considers it the most inspirational of religious books.
Andrea's got to be around 75. Why doesn't she go home and take care of her husband and enjoy the "golden years"? My theory is all these old bats have to stay in the game. They are all properties bought and paid for by China. I don't think the Chi-Coms believe in retirement. They'll beat Andrea, Nancy and Diane like rented mules until they drop in their traces. Their eternal hell has already begun. Anybody got a match?

Wonderful comic relief during these troubling times.
Clarice is right. Mitchell is skin & bones, as they say. She needs to eat, she needs to eat some crow.

The leftists suffer severely from the Dunning-Kruger effect. Until we had social media the only dullards we would encounter were the members of the leftist enemedia who would broadcast their stupidity. But now that we have removed all barriers to broadcast we get the full dose of DK from the left through the various social media platforms. I don’t believe there is a cure for Dunning-Kruger.

Andrea Mitchell's place in the 21st century media firmament has always been a mystery.
For openers, she must be older than the Grand Canyon. She has no particular skills, charisma, wit or insight that would merit such visibility. Married to Greenspan? Big deal. He was a plonker as well.
Even in standard TV days she troweled on the makeup but the shocking complexion was still visible - HD only makes it worse.
She's the worst sort of cowardly conventional wisdom groupthinker, steaming with 'her' view after hundreds of others have expressed it. To earn her crust at MSNBC she tries to be a mean girl along with the rest but she isn't up to the job.

As I recall, Alan Dershowitz called Ted Cruz the smartest and best debater he ever taught in one of his classes. Angria Mitchell would do well to remember that about Cruz next time their paths cross.

Mitchell... is a bought and paid for china doll... she gets her instructions from them... so it doesn't surprise me that she didn't know the origin of the quote... her attempts at discrediting Senator Cruz was obvious... even to a little ole lady like myself....she didn't have to go to an eastern private college to know Shakespeare... it was regularly studied at my high school...I even played Lady MacBeth in a school play...as to trying to make Senator Cruz look bad... WE should remember that he was a Harvard Law student.... studying under Dershowitz and as Dershowitz says... Cruz was probably the smartest student he ever had...sounds like presidential material for the future MAGA movement...

Well since they don't know history either, they now will probably argue Shakespeare was simply quoting Faulkner.
You do wonder however how many of these moronic "gotcha" tweets by these impossibly stupid women can be blamed on too much Chardonnay.

She can't even fall back on the tired excuse of being unexposed to the imported "dead white guy" stuff. There should have been a full English literature curriculum during her college experience. Her bio says she attened the University of Pennsylvania. Not exactly a diploma mill, at least back in the day.
Nowadays, I can imagine a college graduate saying, "Who's Shakey Speer?" before next asking about Faulker.

Schadenfreude is a big German Word.
It means to gleefully, joyfully dancing at your friend's great misfortune.
Many people danced after Hitler and Eva Braun shot themselves in their Berlin bunker on April 30,1945.
For some strange reason, Biden Democrats think that Trump is a Hitler and Melania is a modern Eva Braun.
Perhaps Biden, Kamala, Nancy and Queen Hillary wish to mail Trump and Melania a nasty SS revolver?

We no longer have “journalists,” but “propagandists.” Totally undereducated and downright stupid, but if your job is spreading lies and misinformation to the public, your competence doesn’t really matter.

I , too, had to memorize MacBeth- Act V, Scene V in High School ( 1965). Whined about it at the time but sure have come to appreciate it over the years. Such is the case with William Ernest Henley's "Invictus" in that regard.

Andrea Mitchell's only claim to fame, other than marrying a fossil of a former Fed Chairman who admitted his lifetime economic assumptions had been incorrect after employing them for decades culminating in the Collapse of 2007/8, was getting caught live on HilLIARy's campaign airplane back in 2016 catching a live softball question texted to her by HRC Campaign Manager Robbie Mook just inches away, and immediately asking it like a good female dog with pups! Now that a journalist some people can absolutely depend on! Too bad the overwhelming majority of Americans can't!
Can't make that sort of stupidity up!
