      “Many such cases”, “bigly”, “very, very large brain”, “good genes”, “This has been the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever” and “and some, I assume, are good people” have involuntary become part of my vocabulary.

        “And some, I assume, are good people” has entered my vocabulary, but in mockery of that attitude

          MEXICANS.

          He lives in Mexico’s hat and can only make an ASSUMPTION that there are at least two Mexican-born persons in the US who are good people.

            I just love how the last part parses.

            They’re rapists. And some (of those rapists?), I assume, are good people.

            It’s ridiculous, but also he probably does think some rapists are good people.

          i don’t think he coined that one, though he is terrifically old, so maybe he did 75 plus years ago, idk. i’m sure he would happily take credit for it if it got people to pay attention to him.

            According to the New York Times, the phrase it is what it is appeared as early as an 1949 article by J.E. Lawrence in The Nebraska State Journal. Lawrence used the phrase when describing the difficulty faced during frontier-era life in Nebraska:

            “New land is harsh, and vigorous, and sturdy. It scorns evidence of weakness. There is nothing of sham or hypocrisy in it. It is what it is, without apology.”

            It is what it is picked up steam in the 21st Century. A 2004 USA Today article by Gary Mihoces, titled “It is what it is,” pointed out that the phrase had become popular in sports about losses. Mihoces cited over a dozen examples of athletes and coaches using the phrase in that year alone.

              yep, which is why i said more than 75 years ago. he’d’ve had to have coined it prior to the publication of that article.

      The following poem is composed of actual quotes from George W. Bush.

      MAKE THE PIE HIGHER by George W. Bush

      I think we all agree, the past is over. This is still a dangerous world. It’s a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses.

      Rarely is the question asked Is our children learning? Will the highways of the Internet become more few? How many hands have I shaked?

      They misunderestimate me. I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity. I know that the human being and the fish can coexist. Families is where our nation finds hope, where our wings take dream.

      Put food on your family! Knock down the tollbooth! Vulcanize society! Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!
