Mark Whybird

UFC fighter Gaethje after the #Idiocracy challenge fight, proving he has what it takes for a #Trump / #MAGA senior government position:

"It was pretty crazy looking at the Declaration of Independence. The original one. Their language was different. I'm not smart enough to read that."

@whybird I'm sure he's absolutely right about this. Kudos to him for accurate self-reflection.

@courtcan You raise a good point; that may be too much self-awareness in that area to qualify for a senior maga position after all.

@whybird I will trivially accept the 'I am not smart enough' part. But for me, the amazing thing about both the US declaration of independence and the constitution is how _legible_ they are to someone fluent in modern English. And of course, how far off current US reality is from from these aspirational documents.
