I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

That doesn't even make a lick of sense.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Same line as Mexico paying for the border wall.  He depends on his supporters not caring that it makes no sense.

Not so much as "not caring" as being too stupid to understand basic economics.

Certainly for some of them.  But there are a lot of Republicans who know this is BS but support it because it will get them re-elected.  Dante would place them in a particularly painful part of hell.

May I recommend ...

QuoteBolgia 9 – Sowers of Discord: In the Ninth Bolgia, the Sowers of Discord are hacked and mutilated for all eternity by a large demon wielding a bloody sword; their bodies are divided as, in life, their sin was to tear apart what God had intended to be united; these are the sinners who are "ready to rip up the whole fabric of society to gratify a sectional egotism". The souls must drag their ruined bodies around the ditch, their wounds healing in the course of the circuit, only to have the demon tear them apart anew.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane—Marcus Aurelius

Languish has a history of being populated by intellectual people.  Now we get comments mocking a person's knowledge of literature.  Truly the age of Trump.

CC wildly jumping to conclusions is a hallmark of every forum era though.

What conclusion should I have drawn from your comment?
