Jeff Tiedrich - 'nobody knows what magnets are,' claims Preznit Fuckwit

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

some days, everything in the news is so unbelievably stupid that I don’t even know where to start. so I’m just going to spin the Big Wheel of Moron™ and see where it lands. ready? here we go.

“China was gonna hit us with rare earth. now, everybody says that ‘what does that mean?’ magnets. if China refused to give magnets, ’cause they have a monopoly of magnets, ’cause they have allowed to— you know, happened over a thirty-two year period. uh, there wouldn’t be a car made in the entire world. there wouldn’t be a radio, there wouldn’t be a television, there wouldn’t be internet, there wouldn’t be anything, because magnets are such a part— now, nobody knows what magnets are. and not overly sophisticated, but to build a magnet system would take two years.”

you know, I’ve been writing about Preznit Fuckwit for years now, and I’ve become pretty fluent in moronspeak — but even I can’t make heads or tails of this burst trashbag of word-adjacent noises.

if you explained China’s rare earth magnet policy to any random first grader, and asked them to repeat it back to you, you would no doubt get something more comprehensible that Donny’s incoherent babbling.

1. He's at good at science as he is at math! Yep! 5000%

5. just checking his claim of "2 years to build a magnet"

here is a nail and a d cell in my desk drawer. i think i have a little piece of 16 ga wire on the shelf. there it is. a little tape to hold the wire to the battery terminals.. well whadda ya know. magnet.

closer to 2 minutes.

i get that these rare earth magnets are strong and light, but this is america, we were looking for strong light magnets when somebody tried rare earth alloys, there are assuredly alternative technologies, but, gosh darn, somebody fired the researchers.

and as a last resort. the richest man in the world, with factories in china, should be able to buy whatever he needs.

[Justice matters.]

6. But lil kingnin pedo the felon says...

China doesn't give rare-earth.

To who? To him? For free?

[rampartd]

7. don't worry, his "concepts of a plan" on health care

make this sound like rocket science.

[Justice matters.]

9. Uh lil mickey the pedos protector says...

he's got notebooks full of ideas to make healthcare less expensive.

That's their concept of a plan:

Someone fed a few new words into his Word Salad Generator.

4. He learned that if you don't know anything about a subject

Just string together a bunch of impressive sounding words and act with complete assurance you are right

[Attilatheblond]

8. And throw in '5000%'

That ALWAYS impresses the rubes
