Dueling trivialities 2
Last month I noted a comparison between Trump and Jeb on a trivial point. Even in trivia, the basic difference stands. Trump is observing current facts and proposing a solution. Bush is just babbling.
And here we go again, with two items that appeared together in DailyMail:
Trump notes a problem and proposes a practical solution. Jeb says meaningless crap, sounding firm and decisive and "manly" about a decision that CANNOT BE ACTED ON in the current configuration of the universe. Perhaps he has secret plans for a Tardis up his sleeve, but somehow I doubt it.
Sidenote: I thought the idiotic fake collective word for crows was "a murder of crows". Apparently it has changed to "a capacity of crows". This new term actually makes more sense. Crows are no more murderous than other birds, but they are highly capable AND highly charged. Not that it matters, because none of these idiotic terms are ever used. A group of birds is a flock. That's specific enough.
