I predict Harris/Biden 2020

Are those not "layman's" terms? Faux News is the most widely watched "news" network so you need to dumb things down to their simplest form. No biggie, it'll all be forgotten next week when Shamrock Shakes make their return.

How would anyone on here describe the situation in Ukraine "in layman's terms?"

Did you predict this response?

VP Kamala Harris: Ukraine is a country in Europe that exists next to another country called Russia, Russia is a bigger country, Russia is a powerful country, Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically, that’s wrong.

haha when did this 3rd grade book report get presented?

In her defense, the US is full of submental knuckledraggers who need things explained to them in the simplest of terms.

Hey that's racist! That's a black radio show with the majority of the listeners being black. I, for one, do NOT think African Americans are submental knuckledraggers! 

I'm sorry. Is submental mouthbreathing goons any better?

That is hilarious. I was saying you were racist for basically calling all the black listeners stupid. I didn't even think that "knuckledragger" might be the racist part. But now that you mention it. I guess "knuckledragger" could invoke the imagine of a gorilla, and to compare black people to gorillas is super-duper racist.

So you think the black listeners of that show are submental mouth-breathing goons, but not "knuckledraggers." Noted.

If you look over this particular conversation, there is no mention of where the actual quote appeared, so I didn't know that it was on a Black radio show.

Look at the bolded. Does it mention anything about race? It was more about nationality.

But if it makes you feel good to think I'm a racist, then go right ahead.

I meant to include a link to the show’s website where I got the transcript of her answer when I posted for anyone who hadn’t heard this answer. Sorry about that.

if trump had said this exact same thing you would have responded with "stable genius" and "nothing but the best and brightest" or something to that effect. 

someone at her level should only be speaking in these terms if she's talking to children. fox news has nothing to do with this.

No, thats not laymen’s terms.

I wouldn’t start by explaining Ukraine is a country and had boarders and finish it’s wrong to be invaded.

Probably talk about the history of the countries and why Ukraine isn’t part of NATO and why Europe hasn’t gone to full out war yet. Talk about the risk of helping too much and what may happen if Putin wins this war. That’s how I’d explain it. Laymen doesn’t mean special Ed.

Skate boarders or Surf boarders? How are the swells on the Black Sea?

Yes, focus on a typo from a phone to validate the ridiculous answer she gave. Borders. Better?

Ukraine & Russia Invasion Explained & Affect on the United States

The Morning Hustle: If you’re watching any level of news, even social media, you’ve seen everything that’s going on right now in Ukraine, break it down in layman’s terms for people who don’t understand what’s going on, and how can this directly affect the people the United States.?

VP Kamala Harris: Ukraine is a country in Europe that exists next to another country called Russia, Russia is a bigger country, Russia is a powerful country, Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically, that’s wrong. And it goes against everything that we stand for their terms that we use, we say we respect the sovereignty, the territorial integrity of countries, right, their independence.

Russia has gone into Ukraine, militarily unprovoked with no justification other than to exercise its power to take over another country. So essentially, that’s what’s at stake. And we as America are saying that’s wrong. And we will stand with Ukraine in saying that that is wrong. But that’s essentially where we are. That’s essentially the issue. And when it comes to what we know to be principles of fairness, we know that what Russia is doing is wrong.

What Needs To Happen Next For Ukraine?

When it comes to what needs to happen, then well, there needs to be severe consequences and accountability. And that’s why you’ll hear on the news that we talk about sanctions, which is basically having Russia pay a financial cost to the point that we can have a real impact put a real hurt on their economy as a consequence of their bad behavior, which is resulting in the loss of innocent lives.

Russian Sanctions Explained

The Morning Hustle: And some people did question those sanctions because they said that you had a conflicting opinion against President Joe Biden. He said that the sanctions were put in place to prevent anything from happening. And you said the opposite. So which one is it?

VP Kamala Harris: We have sanctions before the actual invasion, we threatened sanctions to hopefully deter Russia from going in. So we basically, you know, like, if you’re a parent and you tell your children, well, if you do this, the punishment is going to be that right. And we hope that doing that will deter our children from doing the wrong thing. Right. So that’s a deterrent.

So that’s where we started with the sanctions. But then when Russia actually went in, we are now implementing the sanctions right under still putting them in place.

Likelihood Of Military Draft

The Morning Hustle: Vice President Harris, there are a lot of young Americans who are worried that maybe at some point, maybe a draft might have to be initiated, let’s just say we do have to put boots on the ground and gear up if Russia gets some of its, you know, evil homeboys in on the action, right? What’s the likelihood of that?

VP Kamala Harris: There has been no discussion about a draft. And I will tell you also that our position right now is that we’re not sending American troops into Ukraine, we are supplying them with weaponry, we are supplying them with what we call humanitarian aid, meaning, whatever help we can give the families there in terms of their daily lives. But we do not intend to put American troops on the ground in Ukraine in this war.

Attention spans, critical thinking, education levels. None of that matters.

Yes, focus on a typo from a phone to validate the ridiculous answer she gave. Borders. Better?

Yea, focus on a truncated quote tweeted by the RNC. How many people who received the tweet actually went to read the full context, do you guess? Here's the full exchange (my bold is what was left out, plus everything below it):
