Judge Jeanine Pirro Stumbles Through Segment and Has Trouble Reading Her Own Graphic, ‘WHATEVER!’

By

If you thought that the War on Christmas was bad, if you thought “cancel culture” (now a Right-Wing specialty) was bad, if you even thought the one-time “mother to birther” was bad, you didn’t watch Jeanine Pirro’s show on Saturday night. It is bad.

But hey, when an entire party’s entire platform is “Whatever Donald Trump Says,” they have to go with these total “outrages” about the changing cultures, changing things like not using racist terms, recognizing that race impacted everything in American history, and bringing our LGTBQ family “out of the closet” as now full members of society, oh and allowing women to be free of harassment of all forms… we could go on and on. They raged about all of it.

So they’re really reaching now because the good Judge Jeanine is angry that Penn State University would like to rename the students’ class year: Freshman becomes a “First Year,” a Sophomore becomes a “Second Year,” and so on, and lowerclassmen become lower-division, and upperclassmen because “upper-division.” Near as we can tell, Judge Jeanine’s complaint is that three terms include the use of the word “man,” or “men.” Given that, long ago, women didn’t attend college, the names sort of made sense back then and aren’t really relevant now.

Back when cars didn’t have seat belts, airbags wouldn’t have made a lot of sense, and they do now. Society changes. Not only that but the “changes” introduced are already used in professional schools. Go to Law School? You start as a “First-Year,” and guess the name of the next year? Go to Medical School? You start as a First-Year. Changing the standard for undergraduates is not a radical change. Moreover, it is far clearer. Not every student on a college campus is from the United States.

Could this possibly be a big deal? It is to Judge Jeanine, and yet she still managed to get confused by her own graphic, which will continue to feed rumors that we don’t even need to identify:

Yeah, “whatever,” except the best use of “whatever” is the response to the change. The University seems happy with it. It is their school. Why does Judge Jeanine care?

Peace, y’all
