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:
Vote Harris and help Harris claim the presidency.
Vote Trump and help Trump claim the presidency.
Vote 3rd party and help Trump claim the presidency.
Don’t vote and help Trump claim the presidency.
Is the single issue voting against the person who praises Hitler, repeatedly has Nazi imagery in their ads, defends racists who “want to make America hate again”, and is supported by literal Nazis?
The “activist“ tools include, among other things, a text-spamming and calling feature, both of which employ the users’ actual phone number. In contrast, Democratic phone banks always anonymize phone calls to protect the privacy of volunteers. There’s also a feature that invites users to upload all their phone’s contacts into the app. Users’ friends will no doubt appreciate this giveaway of their lucrative personal information once they start getting spammed with texts and calls.
I declined to give Turning Point my phone book, skipped the spam texts, and instead hit “knock on doors.” Then I hopped in my car to try to find the “voters near me” listed in the app …
As I drove, a list of target contacts appeared, with the names, addresses, ages, and phone numbers of people up and down the road. Several entries were tagged with a red flag indicating that the address was home to multiple voters over the age of 75—a potential goldmine because older voters tend to vote more than younger ones.
Wow.
I agree with you about prison not being a panacea for criminal / violent behavior.
When given the chance to address the court prior to his sentencing, DePape, dressed in prison orange and with his brown hair in a ponytail, spoke at length about Sept. 11 being an inside job, his ex-wife being replaced by a body double, and his government-provided attorneys conspiring against him.
“I’m a psychic,” DePape told the court, reading from sheets of paper. “The more I meditate, the more psychic I get.”
While I don’t think that DePape should be released into the public, it sounds like some sort of psychiatric facility would be more appropriate for him. Ignoring mental health issues is not going to make them go away and maybe if he and others like him were put someplace where he could be observed then we, as a society, may be able to put some policies in place to address future potential dangers before they culminate in violence.
After Sunday’s rally, a senior adviser for the Trump campain, Danielle Alvarez, said in a statement that Hinchcliffe’s joke did “not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”
His “set” absolutely reflects the views of Trump and his campaign. That is why he felt comfortable saying those things.
It’s not like the racism of Tony Hinchcliffe was a secret that he kept carefully hidden from public view which caught the organizers by surprise. It took me about a minute of searching who this guy was before landing on the Tony Hinchcliffe Wikipedia page which covers his racist performance in Austin just 3 years ago.
A mid-October poll by Fairleigh Dickinson University found that Trump’s appeal is rooted in voters’ perceptions of his masculinity.
That is beyond disturbing, in every possible way.
Does the Trump campaign honestly believe that Harris is the current president?
Know your audience?
Is that Trump’s Muslim Ban they are referring to?
That’s the point. If 3rd parties were serious about governing they would appear as options for way more local elections. Instead they serve as throwaway protest votes for people who want to say “I voted” without actually having to take any responsibility the who is in office.
Who is their target market?
