We got some political discourse, you could call it. In a truck. Outside of Target. Facepalm. #Politics
@publickovacs Well, to be fair, I created this shirt and wore it publicly almost every chance I had from 2016 through 2020. 🙂

Your shirt is awesome! I understand that presidents are very polarizing figures in general. I think 45 was.much more so than most. But 46? Sleepy Uncle Joe elicits passionate responses???
@publickovacs Agreed. It's (tragically) comical to hear MTG screaming for impeachment, but being unable to come up with any valid reasons for such a proceeding. 🤣 😢
@codeWhisperer
I am a political scientist and I still teach part time. So I always explain that you cannot impeach someone because you hate their guts 😜
@publickovacs Understood. Now that we live in the age foretold by the prophet Mike Judge, it is good to find others who have not yet given up their reasoning abilities.
BTW, your name intrigues me. A childhood (and lifetime) hero of mine shares the same patronym.
@codeWhisperer
It literally means 'Smith' in Hungarian. It is the most common last name in Hungary where I was born and mostly grew up. I would occasionally have classmates or teachers w the same last name who were no relations.
@publickovacs Ah! Good to know. So - just to be sure - no relation to Ernest Edward (Ernie) the amazingly ahead-of-his-time comedian whom I adored as a child?
@codeWhisperer
I was wondering if he was the one you were referring to. What I didn't know about him is that he was born on Jan 23 - my late Dad's birthday 😭
@publickovacs 😢 I am sorry for your loss.
@codeWhisperer
Thank you. Dad died in 2017. I was already middle aged. And I am still not okay with having lost him.
