She's so obnoxious that she was actually asked not to return to an AIDS clinic in Africa where she volunteered
What level of insufferable behavior do you have to reach for a third world country to say “We do not need you as a volunteer?” Off the charts.

What’s crock of shite. It’s a pretty simple strategy to understand.

I made that exact comment to my wife when it happened. I asked her, "Do you realize how obnoxious you have to be for the staff at an AIDS clinic in Africa to tell a volunteer not to come back?"

It's amazing how quickly people become experts on the hot topic issue. I still remember how many people were experts about COVID19 and MRNA vaxxxes telling us all we were going to kill everybody unless we got vaxxxed

I'm sure the tariffs are really affecting her since she has to import all her wood.

Ask them to explain to you what indicators they are using to determine that tariffs aren't working.

It always amazes me how fast Progressives can become subject matter experts in any given topic. It is often in less than a day. Then they all post the same lies/talking points from the same places: CNN, NBC, and democrat pols.
My favorite has been people reposting old vids of leftist pols saying we should do what we are doing now, then asking the new SME's why it was OK. They either unfriend you, call you a nazi, or just don't respond.

Mine had her friends over a couple days ago, you would think we were living in Nazi Germany and had to wait in soup lines for meals the way they were going on. Thank God for Blanton's

They're the same people who were suddenly virologists during corrvid and telling me that their 3 hours of watching XiNN and MSDNC every day made them more knowledgeable than me and my 30 years of detailed knowledge in the prevention of the spread of biological, viral and pathological ailments.
