So true. If you are lacking knowledge on a topic, asking questions is always the best approach.

None.

When a man lies he murders some part of the world.

– Merlin (Excalibur, 1981)

If you know something to be false and try to pass it off as truth, that is lying. It doesn’t matter how you phrase it or try to hide behind symantics like “I’m just asking questions” or “it’s just a hypothetical”.

That being said, it does not mean that you cannot contribute to a conversations if you are not an authority on a subject. If you are not sure or cannot recall a credible source for your information you can preface your comment with something like “I never confirmed the validity of this, so I may be completely wrong, but…”.

I am really curious what “beliefs and faith” people think Trump is going to champion. I keep hearing similar statements but nobody (except racists) ever goes into what those beliefs are or why they think Trump will uphold them.

Former President Trump said the “biggest mistake” of his presidency was picking “bad, disloyal people” to join his administration.

It boggles the mind that anybody would be expecting Trump to consider anything but loyalty for his appointments.

I imagine the conversations going a bit like “You are going to be part of my cabinet. I’m told it’s not the type of cabinet you put things in, but a group of people that make decisions and handle all the boring stuff. My cabinet is going to be the best most beautiful cabinet anyone has ever seen. Here’s the hat with available positions. Let’s see what you get.”

Wait. They are serious? The Onion actually bought InfoWars and this is not the typical joke Onion article?

A few more famous people with 2 first names:

I, for one, am shocked. Shocked I tell you.

Who could have guessed Trump would appoint somebody who doesn’t recognize the victims of genocide as real people? It’s not like Trump called pro-Palestinians protestor “pro-Hamas thugs” and “jihad sympathizers” or said “I will give Israel the support that it needs to win but I do want them to win fast” or called attempts by Biden to negotiate a cease fire an attempt to “tie Israel’s hand behind its back”.

How could anybody have known? By looking at how he handled conflicts in the area during his first administration? What are we? A nation of nerds that try to make educated decisions about our political leaders?

I can’t stop staring at the dent he made in the hood of that car. 🙄

The trip on the Floridian will take nearly 48 hours to complete, according to Amtrak.

Coach seats start at just over $100 for the trip, with private rooms available starting at $700.

Who is their target market?

I can’t help but feel like that’s the point.

At no point did I say “smart”, “genius”, or “stupid”. I said “intelligence”, which was your choice of wording, in my rebuttal.

I also made no claim regarding Musk directly. I just pointed out the flaw in your argument that there is a correlation between a person’s wealth and their intelligence.

Money ≠ Intelligence and your entire argument seems to be based on this erroneous assumption.

No-one becomes a multi-billionaire due to a lack of intelligence or common sense.

Not “due to”, but people all thoroughout history have amassed great wealth despite a lack of intelligence. Especially when they are born into privilege.

Moderately OK.

The “get better” option is too vague. Better than shitty could still be worse than “moderately OK”. Depending on how shitty the life, getting better could also mean death. Even if getting better meant a glorious life, there is no guarantee of how long I would get to enjoy that better life. I could die the same day.

Sounds like grounds to challenge any and all of his decisions, including any legal charges he is associated with.

Good thing this man is given a gun and near carte blanch to shoot people he feels threatened by. /s

Taking drugs that impacts judgement and results in irrational actions sounds like a good reason to not be allowed access to firearms, much less placed in a position of power or authority.

What? I’m confused. Harris was one of Biden’s most vocal supporters before he stepped down.

Putin is also of “low height”.

He’s got a long history of stimulating oral sex acts in public.

Trump is going to lose the popular vote so with the current US political system, these are the voting options this year:

1. Vote Harris and help Harris claim the presidency.

2. Vote Trump and help Trump claim the presidency.

3. Vote 3rd party and help Trump claim the presidency.

4. Don’t vote and help Trump claim the presidency.
