Editor,
You’ve, of course, heard of a “Bull in a China shop?” And, a “Kid in a candy store?”

There’s no need to worry anymore, Ms. Berger. Biden will soon be out of office and thankfully, Kamala failed. Happier years are ahead for America. The Biden-Harris nightmare is almost over.
Hello Kat - sorry to disappoint you but the Biden Harris administration cleaned out the China shop, nothing to break there, and left no candy whatever for Trump to grab. Tell your kindergarten audience that they have nothing to worry about until Trump brings in new chinaware and loads of candy.
Yes, Kat, this doesn’t look good at all, - thanks to Americans being so afraid of not only a woman in the WH, but of women in general! They are especially afraid of well educated, intelligent and successful women, like Kamala Harris! How backwards and behind the times can you be?! My home country, Norway, had its first female prime minister in the 50’s, - yet the country didn’t burn to the ground! Instead, it prospered. I would never call the average American very bright, but I had no idea they could be this stupid! Re-select someone as dangerous as Trump? Don’t they ever learn? My goodness, what slow learners! My Dear Dad was right when he said that “stupidity knows no lowest border”.
Egomaniac Jorge is out of his hole again telling the world that he is the brightest, and that everybody else is stupid. BTW Jorge, there are plenty of competent women in the United States who could probably be elected president. However neither cackling Kamala Harris or Hilda Clinton are not one of them.
"However neither cackling Kamala Harris or Hilda Clinton are not one of them."
Back to grammar school, NutSo! A basic class in logic might also help. Perhaps NotSo much!
George, rather than addressing the argument, you choose to focus on a typo and or grammar . You can’t win any argument and you’re obviously dumber than Kamala Harris. Have you considered transitioning and debating as the village idiot? Ya know, as Hillary said, “it takes a village of idiots and Jorg is the ideal idiot to lead the idiots .”
Another JUNC (Jorg’s Usual Nonsense Conniption) comment. To borrow from Dirty Harry in “Sudden Impact” and directed at Jorg, “Yeah, you’re a legend in your own mind.” It is amusing that Jorg says 75 million voters are stupid yet Jorg chose the loser (assuming Jorg can vote) so it appears Jorg is more stupid than 75 million souls. My goodness! Even more amusing, Jorg continues to stay in the USA while eschewing Norway. Maybe his home country won’t allow Jorg to return? Or maybe the alleged prosperity in Norway doesn’t compare to the USA? (It may be due to high taxes.) It’s always a win when Jorg is apoplectic with rage.
Your "Dear Dad" raised an absolute buffoon.
Littlefoot: Attacking me is entertaining, but why don’t you show a grain of decency for a change and let my dear dad RIP? My brave dad even survived a Gestapo gun to his head, - in an attempt to protect a neighbor during WWII.
My grandfather earned a Bronze Star in WW2 for breaking a code that changed The Battle of the Bulge. Shut your mouth, Jorg.
So? I never attacked your grandfather, BigMouth!
My point is - surviving isn't brave. Putting your life on the line for others is.
