In particular, we examined sentences where semantic violations could be attributed to noise-for example, in "The storyteller could turn any incident into an amusing antidote", where the implausible word "antidote" is orthographically and phonologically close to the intended "anecdote". In the current study, we probed the processing of noisy linguistic input, asking whether well-studied ERP components may serve as useful indices of this inferential process. This might not be so striking, except that prior public service used to be considered a prerequisite for election to the presidency.Recent evidence suggests that language processing is well-adapted to noise in the input (e.g., spelling or speech errors, misreading or mishearing) and that comprehenders readily correct the input via rational inference over possible intended sentences given probable noise corruptions. Get smart!”ĪBC’s George Stephanopoulos had gotten all snippy about the whole thing on Sunday, asking Trump why Khan had accused Trump of sacrificing nothing for his country.Īnd, when you think about it, Trump had not only sacrificed nothing personally to fight RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM, but in his almost 71 years on this planet, it appears Trump had never done much, if any, public service whatsoever.

Khan, who is all over the place doing interviews,” Trump also tweeted, “but rather RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM and the U.S. doing the same - Nice!” Trump tweeted Monday.

In fact, the Constitution is on display in a row of large glass cases in the Rotunda of the National Archives Museum. He went over to his Interweb machine and found out the Constitution could not possibly be kept in a jacket pocket. McCain, a retired Navy captain, was ridiculed by Trump for being captured by the North Vietnamese.īut here it was, 2016, and some bald guy with a round head, Khizr Khan, takes a copy of the Constitution from his suit jacket pocket and says Trump didn’t know what was in the document and how Trump had “sacrificed nothing” for his country. The last veteran to be on a major party ticket was John McCain in 2008. Both Pence and Democratic vice presidential nominee, Tim Kaine, have sons in the Marines.

In 2012, neither party had a veteran on the ticket, which was the first time since 1932.

The machine answered instantly: “There are 21.8 million veterans of the U.S. Trump typed in: “How many veterans are there in the United States.” Trump went over to the World Wide Interweb machine that his kids had bought him so they wouldn’t have to answer his questions. Personality.īut who had vetted Pence? And speaking of vetting, they couldn’t have found a veteran to put on the ticket? The guy who looked like he combed his hair with teeth whitener. At the very beginning of his campaign, Trump had put together what he called his “Brain Gang” made up of political experts (whom none of the other campaigns would hire).Ī few months later, the leader of the Brain Gang would be. And now everybody on his staff was running around screaming and shouting as if presidents had to know stuff.
