Reasoning by the absurd

A few minutes ago, the dumbest POTUS ever, retweeted Kim Kardashian :



I would like to thank President Trump for his time this afternoon. It is our hope that the President will grant clemency to Ms. Alice Marie Johnson who is serving a life sentence for a first-time, non-violent drug offense.


Another tweet followed :" President Donald J. Trump's Weekly Address", duration : 2'23''...




If he has time to retweet a low end starlet, and if his weekly speech is only 2 minutes, it means that everything is going well in the best of all worlds?

I feel like my reasoning is distorted... but where?

Could you please, tell me where?

I fear I'm going to get some sort of carpal tunnel type syndrome of the neck from shaking my head so much since the Oaf was sworn in.
(Oaf of office? )

My advice:

Do not ! Listening Trump more than 2 milliseconds, is likely to produce unexpected effects, on any healthy brain.

Don't cut off your nose to spite your damn face. This case is a travesty.

"For Alice Johnson, life in federal prison has almost been the equivalent of a death sentence in some ways. In a video interview posted by Mic.com, and which you can watch above, Alice Johnson said of her life prison term: “It’s like an unexecuted sentence of death.”

She described the toll that her lengthy incarceration has had on her family. “One of my family members told me one time, and I’ll never forget this, that coming to visit me in prison is like visiting a gravesite,” she said in the video. “They said they can see the site where my body lay but they can never take me home again.”

Johnson does not have the opportunity for parole because she is incarcerated in the federal system and received a life sentence. According to Mic, she is one of more than 3,200 people serving life without parole sentences for a nonviolent offense in the federal system, 65 percent of whom are black and most of whom are drug offenders. Those figures came from a 2013 report by the American Civil Liberties Union, which you can read here."

Between the two of them, I would guess that they have no more than 1/2 a brain cell. Birds of a feather and all that.
