Trump tells morons like this they are actually smarter than the other side, and they eat it up. I saw a chart that showed how long the US was number one in education, but then the late 90s we started dropping, and dropping, and dropping. Now we have a bunch in charge that wants to eliminate the Department Of Education, and let xtian schools teach fairy tales as facts.
Two brown-skinned people in a line at the Post Office were chatting with each other, but not in English. The guy in front of them got redder and redder, then finally turned and snapped “If you Mexicans want to speak Mexican, then go back to Mexico! This is America, and we speak English!”
After a brief moment of startlement, one of them replied (in perfect English) “The language of Mexico is not Mexican. It is Spanish, imported here from Europe — from Spain. But we weren’t speaking Spanish. We were speaking Navajo. You know, the original language from around these parts. So if you want to speak English, then go back to England.”
The very best time for learning a 2nd language is before you’re 10 years old, when your brain is wired for it. Occasionally I’ll be at someplace like a restaurant or convenience store and be waited on by a person whose English comes with an accent or odd word usage. I’ve taken to reminding myself that most of them — in addition to being bilingual, which I am not — probably had to pick up their own 2nd language (English) as adults. IMHO, they deserve to be admired for this.

I forget who said it, but somebody called him Vivek Rama-lama-ding-dong. So funny!!!

Ramaswamy is infamously an election denier, so there are only three choices: he is dishonest as h*ll, he is an idiot, or he is a lunatic.
