The entire endorsement speech:

Madea? Which way better educated and more successful than you black woman are you slandering?

I'd guess Senator Harris.

Michelle

Kamala Harris - Howard University, U of California, Hastings School of Law
Michelle Obama - Princeton, Harvard Law

You guys and girl/s really think Kamala and Michelle are the only two Black women who might be Joe's running mate?
You ever hear of women named Susan Rice and Stacey Abrams?

I mentioned Abrams months ago and being that I consider myself to be somewhat of a "political insider", I happen to know for a fact that she is being STRONGLY considered - and has been for a long time. I'm not saying she will be Joe's running mate but I am saying don't be surprised if she is.

Most of us are aware that Kamala and Michelle are "well educated".
So is our current President.
Donald Trump - Fordham University, Wharton School University of Pennsylvania.
Donald Trump proves "well educated" doesn't always translate to competence and intelligence.

Harvard Law and UC Law and in Abrams case Yale Law are equivalent to Trump's 2 years at Wharton?

I don't think so.

I like Abrams, but she should take a place in Biden's cabinet, to gain more experience.

I'd agree.

trump isn’t well-educated

he may have gone to “schools”, but just listen to him talk

I don't think so.

I didn't say or claim they were "equivalent". Did I?
Let me ask you this, do you know what "UC Law" means? She went to Hastings.
Hastings is not considered an "esteemed" school by many if not most.
Still admirable that she got her law degree from there.
Trump graduated from Wharton - which is considered by most to be one of the top 5 if not the top Business school in the country.
Call me crazy but I am pretty sure when people look at resumes, seeing someone graduated from Wharton (with or without an MBA) is as impressive to them as seeing someone graduated from Hastings with a law degree.

Thus the reason why I put well-educated in " ".

Yup.

I assume it's Whitmer. She was the "guest" on the second episode of his gawd-awful podcast.

Trump has referred to his Wharton degree as ‘super genius stuff.’ An admissions officer recalls it differently.

James Nolan was working in the University of Pennsylvania’s admissions office in 1966...

Nolan, who said he was the only admissions official to talk to Donald Trump, was required to give Trump a rating, and he recalled, “It must have been decent enough to support his candidacy.”

...At the time, Nolan said, more than half of applicants to Penn were accepted, and transfer students such as Donald Trump had an even higher acceptance rate based on their college experience. A Penn official said the acceptance rate for 1966 was not available but noted that the school says on its website that the 1980 rate was “slightly greater than 40%.” Today, by comparison, the admissions rate for the incoming Penn class is 7.4 percent, the school recently announced.

“It was not very difficult,” Nolan said of the time Trump applied in 1966, adding: “I certainly was not struck by any sense that I’m sitting before a genius. Certainly not a super genius.”

[...]

Schooling =/= education. It appears that DJT was schooled, not educated. Others under discussion are well-educated. There is quite a difference.

It’s rare for a professor to disparage the intelligence of a student, but according to attorney Frank DiPrima, who was close friends with professor William T. Kelley for 47 years, the prof made an exception for Donald Trump, at least in private. “He must have told me that 100 times over the course of 30 years,” says DiPrima, who has been practicing law since 1963 and has served as in-house counsel for entities including the Federal Trade Commission and Playboy Enterprises. “I remember the inflection of his voice when he said it: ‘Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had!’” He would say that [Trump] came to Wharton thinking he already knew everything, that he was arrogant and he wasn’t there to learn.” Kelley, who passed away in 2011 at age 94, taught marketing at Wharton for 31 years, retiring in 1982.

He's my guy, for better or worse. I'm looking forward to being able to critique the perfect individual you all put in office in 2024.

"Better" left town the afternoon of the inauguration when he tweeted about crowd size. Since then it's been increasing levels of "worse". And, here we are. Don't know if the country (or the world for that matter) can take any more of "worser"

Like I said - I look forward to seeing the alternative you all provide. The Bad Touch Joe/Madea ticket is a pretty sad start.

So we're all going to leave this as "just Psych being Psych?" He's comparing either Kamala Harris or Stacey Abrams (I assume) to a fictional black character portrayed by a man.

Everyone OK with this?

I am certainly not.

There's nothing funny about Tyler Perry or his movies and any discussion of them just serves to give them undeserving publicity.

Thank you for an appropriate response.
