Is The Epstein Pivot That Big A Deal

How much of the original allegations are actually now denied? Is it not possible that the only thing that has changed is

i do not care what the name of a reduction from100 to 13 should be called.

It's not the name; it's the function. Do you think the answer to 100-13 should be anything other than 87? Or is this one of those alternative facts?

You and I both know that Lutnick knows how percentages work, yet you support his disinformation of elementary school arithmetic. Wild.

I don't even care if government leaders got bad scores in high school on standardized tests that sometimes required logic. As long as they could get good scores now, after some study.

But if they still couldn't get good scores, they are dangerous. Getting good answers to real world problems sometimes takes a brain that doesn't screw up those test questions,

Then you're saying Trump is dangerous. If Trump did nothing but study for the SAT for six months, I doubt he'd break 700 and you get a 400 just for spelling your name right. Make your best case.

i do not care what the name of a reduction from100 to 13 should be called. I do not care if some people don't think a willingness to die for your leader is a prerequisite to be called a cult member. Knowing the definition of words is as unimportant to me as is being good at arithmetic. I don't even care if government leaders got bad scores in high school on standardized tests

Lol yeah. If I need a particle physicist I don't care if they know the name "electron" is as long as they have a Witten like mastery of quantum field theory! I just described a person that doesn't exist. And Trump's unfamiliarity with basic numerical conventions guarantees he's too dumb to study and learn at the level you care about.


That post was written by David Sklansky


Foreword by Mason Malmuth about the any day now poker boom


The last few posts have nothing to do with the point I was making. They certainly weren't in support of Trump. I was simply saying that if you struggle with stuff that millions of people do not struggle with i.e. academic subjects, you will much more likely make a mistake about other decisions. And the fact that you have advisors who don't struggle with them would only partially ameliorate the problem since they are apt to not fully understand the points being made by two advisors who disagree. I also admitted that in some cases those who m struggled in high school had a good excuse and wouldn't struggle now. But identifying those people is not easy. So its safer to not consider people like Donald Trump or Gavin Newsome.

But I am not saying that smart people will probably do smart things. Only that dumb people are even less likely to.


You sure use a ton of words to say absolutely nothing of value

Word economy, bro


Ergo, vis a vis, concordantly

Why would I disagree with that?

Note: I brought up this subject because I just read that Newsom was semi bragging that his SAT was 960. Whether that beats Trump is irrelevant. Because even 300 points higher means you still got an awful lot of questions wrong that you shouldn't have and should probably mean it would be better if you were replaced in your government job by someone who shared your values but didn't screw up as much.


You said you don’t care whether someone calls the reduction from 100 to 13 in the standard way or the post hoc completely made up Trump apologetic way. I was just explaining why you should.

Everybody is a racist. You are just not allowed to be a racist if you are white.

Is Trump not a racist? Is Stephen Miller not a racist? Is Elon Musk not a racist? Is it not true than any number of accepted white intellectuals dabble in race science? Not only that, but they do so while not knowing what they are talking about and discuss the issue with complete ignorance as to how everything they are asserting has been scientifically debunked. But they go on making money. Anyone is allowed to be a racist actually. It might get you fired in some instances if one is compelled to voice the racism and aren't powerful enough to be shielded from the consequences, but it's perfectly legal and doesn't always get you fired. And we still live an era where black people are fired at the drop of a hat, so a black person saying racist things about white people would certainly get them fired and certainly keep them from being president.

White people have a lot more power than other groups. It's racism plus power that invokes civil unrest or mass backlash. No one cares if some white guy walking down the street hates minorities. But if he's the chief of police and he's racially profiling it's a problem. There are black chiefs of police, but what are the odds that the rare black supremacist, going on about black people being the original Israelites or white imperialism being the cause of all global suffering, would rise to the rank of police chief? It's just not going to happen. Meanwhile there are white supremacist gangs practically running police departments in major cities (and, again, the federal government). The president of the United States is clearly a white supremacist. In contrast, when you see a black person in power it's usually because they, like Obama for example, love white people more than anything in the world.

I'm waiting for Trump to ask the nation where are the blacks in the Epstein debacle, and can't you see it's a Black Panther plot to divide white America.




I'm guessing, a guy like that, women are pretty high up on his list of the 'real' oppressors, but there are certainly women involved.

And Epstein did arrange for Israel to sell surveillance/security systems to an African country, Cote D'ivoire, which I assume is majority black given where the country is on the west coast of Africa. Ya know, totally non intelligence related stuff, just like what Hugh Heffner did in between jacuzzi sessions with centerfolds.

This seems to be true, unfortunately, as a result of Epstein's dealings with Ehud Barak.

I am curious what makes Trump and Elon and Miller racists ? What actions have they taken that make you think they are racists . Lets be clear I am not saying they are not racist .


Lozen the rambling racist can't figure out racism. More news at 11.

If u don’t know now , nothing will.
You set the bar too high .

The thing is , they aren’t just racist, they are sexist, etc too.

The thing I can think of is the accusation that he would not rent to African Americans way back in the 80's

But please during his two terms please enlighten me on his racist actions or policies

I know the one is he deports brown people but he also deports white folks but when the majority of illegal immigrants are brown people ......

Why did he garner the largest % of the black and Latino vote for a republican


So sad to see this stale game repeated over and over.

Racist asks others for 'proof' of racism just to nuh uh a lot when shown the proof...

I am curious what makes Trump racist.

In order for Trump to be racist, he’d have to believe something other than “Trump is great & anyone who praises/is loyal to Trump is great and anyone who isn’t is a loser/failure/sucks”. And he doesn’t. Trump is worse than a racist, if that’s somehow possible. He’s a parasite devoid of any ethos other than selfishness.

If Black people helped him get rich and kissed his big fat stupid ass and stroked his damaged ego, he’d be surrounded by them 24/7.

It's reasonable to want to be grounded in opinions about powerful and controversial people. There are many Americans who don't think these individuals are racist at all.

It's not just actions that establish an individual as racist. It's their beliefs, their motivations which identify a racist.

Let's start with Trump. I'll give you the evidence and if you tell me why you don't find it compelling I'll offer more until I don't have anymore. I'll start with what I think is a fairly easy "proof" that Trump is a racist. The action of getting millions of avowed white nationalists to support you and volunteer for you is something that could only be achieved as a racist, as someone who has proposed policies which garner the support of such people for whom being racist is a pillar of their identity and their chief political motivation. I'd argue you can't get those people on your side without them believing you are a racist. Do the loud-and-proud doctrinal racists of this country not know how to identify one of their own?

I would agree with TheBigEasy more as to the fact Trump will side with anyone that helps him get rich and will crew over anyone that serves his cause

Of course white nationalists will support Trump just as they have every GOP candidate . Its not like they will vote democrat. I go with Not all Republicans are racist but all racists are republican.

no, there are plenty of super racist Dems
