Not knowing something reflects ignorance. Refusing to learn about it reflects stupidity. Why is PET being stupid about national security?

Why does PET REFUSE to take daily intelligence briefings? He is letting Mike Pence do it. Is that good enough? Having an incurious prez does not  bode well. Ignorance and stupidity are similar in that there is lack of knowledge/information in both states of being. Ignorance can be cured. Stupidity is forever. SIGH

    Hello Rosie:

    If you BELIEVED that the ENTIRE intelligence community HATES your guts, and LIES regularly, then you wouldn't listen to them either..  That's why he'd rather listen to General Flynn, who AGREES with Trumps worldview.

    That's also why he's scarier than hell.

PET's peepas don't give rat's a** otr sh** about what their voting him in is gonna do to our country. They don't give a rat's a** that he is a Putin puppet or that  Tillerson is an approved Putin guy. The Republcan party..Conservatives? They're gone. They're done in. They are now pathetic lemmings who follow PET wherever he takes them. How sad is that?  Thank you for your reply! :)

    Are you willing to learn every language spoken around the world? Wait, don't tell us that you refuse to do it!  Shocking!

    Hello Randy:

    I believe they give the briefings in English.

    Hello again, Randy:

    But, we were talking about briefings, weren't we?? 

    Look..  I get your point..  But, you miss Rosie's completely..  When your JOB depends on INFORMATION, and there ARE professional people EMPLOYED to GIVE you that information, REFUSING to listen is REALLY, REALLY, STUPID..  I happen to agree..

    I haven't missed her point at ALL. It's as clear as daylight.   She's making her point by prefacing it with a lie, it's what she does. I expose the lie, it's what I do.

    That is not a lie.  How is that a lie? 

    I aggravate everyone.  That is what I do.

    Rosie did not LIE, Randall. 

    Where?  Where is a lie?   If you don't like what she said and don't agree, that does not make her statement a lie.  Even if it is erroneous.  It is a error in judgment at best, hardly a lie.

    It is NOT true that each and every instance of someone not wanting to learn about something is an example of stupidity. Rosie stated it as if it were Gospel handed down from on high, a favorite tactic of hers, by the way. She uses her far-fetched platitudes as the basis for her particular brand of hate-speech, disguised as folksy witticism from a kindly old grandmother. It's her way. I come along and peel back the fetid subterfuge to reveal the error of her ways, and all of a sudden she's a victim.

    Hello again, Randy:

    As an expert on the English language, I thought you understood how words are used..  Or, NOT used, as the case may be..  Please, show me where she used the words, "each and every".  Had she said that, I'd agree with you.  But she didn't, so I don't..

    Let's review.. Not knowing something reflects ignorance. TRUE! Refusing to learn about it reflects STUPIDITY..  For the reasons I gave above, it's absolutely TRUE!  She then wonders WHY Trump is being STUPID, and I wonder the same thing..
