(for anyone with an IQ less than forty.... this entire post is supposed to be "humor".

Just wondering if you understand this IQ thing. So nobody here has an IQ of 40. At that IQ, one would be suffering from serious mental retardation. I also remember you saying **** like "Trump has an IQ of 160". That's off the charts. Possibly higher than Einstein.

I can't tell if it's hyperbole, or if you just don't know how IQ works.

The IQ "score" is a silly made-up idea with no objective reality. It presumes to be a statistical distribution with a mean and average of 100. I am not certain about this point, but I believe the statistical distribution figures correlate to imply that 90% of the class will be between 80 and 120. and 99% will be within the range 60-140. Or something like that. I got Trump's IQ from a bit of Yahoo click-bait, and it was 158, and with such authoritative precise data value that it would be unwise for anyone to question it....

According to my uncle, who had the results in hand, my IQ in the fourth grade was 40, and by the twelfth grade it was 140. With that kind of data, extrapolated another 40 years, I can scientifically project my current IQ at an impressive 640. With all the certainty that by 2050 the Earth's atmosphere will be 1 degree warmer. Of course, as we all know, extrapolation is the heart of truth, and nothing Trumps those as-yet-unmeasured stretches of any line of projection.

What I don't understand is how anyone can just refuse to believe such science.

Einstein was a dunce who flunked math and had an IQ of 72, and he was unfortunately misunderstood on the subject of relativity because nobody could follow his rambling math equations, which somebody found in the margins of his 5th grade slate, mistaking his doodle for something smart.....

The reason everybody thinks Einstein was smart is just because some progressive ideologues decided to destroy the foundations of logic and use the doodles to fantasize about time travel in little police call-boxes called "The Tardus".

And, finally, according to what I was personally told by someone who did know him, "Einstein didn't know beans", and therefore neither does my nuclear physicist brother. Except my brother and I both hoed fields of beans in the hot summer sun, and tied the runners up on trellises, and picked the pods and shelled them in the fall. And ate them. Sometimes boiled, sometimes raw.

Curiously, Einstein couldn't walk across the campus at Princeton and not wonder what those plants were, and had the astonishing lack of pretense it takes to ask direct simple questions, like "What are those?".....

Which gave the short little farm-boy at his side the lifetime of exhilaration of telling students he knew more about beans than Einstein.

For Siro, here is a bit on the IQ issue.... better than my characterization of it perhaps, but largely backing the notion that the brackets I guessed are about right.

I still don't believe we can measure intelligence, really, with any test however researched or developed.
 
Probably depends on who Trump appoints as the new director.

I read that Comey was the first FBI director to ever have a negative vote for confirmation. He had a single negative vote (by Rand Paul, I believe, not sure the reasons why). And that's the MOST negative votes ever! Who thinks the next director will be anywhere close to that?

sherrif david clarke for FBI director. :D

would have been perfect if he was a woman.
 
But how do you prove beyond a reasonable doubt why Trump really fired Comey?

Well, we should at least be able to point to Trump's own words in the Lester Holt interview:

He [Rosenstein] made a recommendation, he’s highly respected, very good guy, very smart guy. The Democrats like him, the Republicans like him. He made a recommendation. But regardless of [the] recommendation, I was going to fire Comey. Knowing there was no good time do it!

And in fact when I decided to just do it I said to myself, I said, “You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story, it’s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should’ve won.”

As well, at yesterday's press briefing, the assistant press secretary seemed to admit firing Comey was to assist in ending the Russian probe:

During Thursday’s combative briefing, deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a curiously frank statement regarding the motivations behind President Trump’s dismissal of FBI Director James Comey. In the wake of Trump admitting that he was going to fire “showboat” Comey, “regardless” of DOJ nomination, Sanders also told the press corps that the administration hopes it will end the investigation into Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election.

“We want this to come to its conclusion, we want it to come to its conclusion with integrity,” Sanders said in regard to the bureau’s Russia investigation. “And we think that we’ve actually, by removing Director Comey, taken steps to make that happen.”

Multiple FBI insiders are claiming Comey was fired to end the Russian probe:

The New York Times is reporting that Trump invited Comey to dinner early in his term. At that dinner, Trump asked Comey 3 times if he would pledge his loyalty to Trump. He told Trump he could only pledge his honesty. Basically, Trump was requesting that Comey take a loyalty oath to Trump. I have read suggestions that Comey told people at the FBI that Trump made this request, and that that information should be leaked if Comey were ever fired.
 
On Rachel Maddow last night, Sen. Widen described efforts to, and the necessity of, following the money trail:

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow...tigation-should-follow-the-money-942097476000

And in speaking of money trails, looking into Paul Manafort's money trail may bear more fruit in the Russian investigation.

Maddow inquired of the DOJ, but the DOJ declined to answer if Attorney General Sessions is recused from any investigation involving Manafort.

Sessions himself may be under the scope regarding whether he has already violated his recusal in the investigation of the Trump election campaign.

Trump and his spokespeople's words may open up the "obstruction of justice" can of worms, but, obviously we really cannot expect this GOP leadership to agree to impeachment proceedings.

Also, we may be better of with an independent commission, as a special prosecutor means starting over from scatch.

Given Trump's unflattering words about Comey, and the Assistent FBI director's claims that Comey was well liked and respected in the agency, we should begin to see more leaks forthcoming...
 
i think the take home message from here is that your country is screwed, run by morons on both sides and that Australia needs to build a wall to keep all you imbeciles out of here...

Australia isn't innocent.

We have one news propaganda machine, fueled by billionaires like your Rupert Murdoch and our Kochs. This propaganda machine exploits the worst in humans; fear, racism, and greed.

We have one political party that flat out rejects the notion that government can and should work in complex industrialized societies. Sorry, but a 19th century government isn't adequate for a 21st century society.

We have a significant portion of our populace that our right rejects facts, rational thought, and science.

So yes, we have serious problems.
 
We need someone other than John McCain in the senate to call out this shameful behavior, wouldn't you agree?

Moderates in your party have remained far too content over Trump's outrageous behavior over the past 2 years.

it's time to demand much more out of the right's president, media, and Senate. The nonstop lying, tweet storms, and spin needs to end. Time for the GOP to clean its inner vessel. It's utterly putrid. McConnell, Ryan, and Donald should all be ashamed!

If you really think McCain is the only one, then you aren't paying very much attention.
 
You really can't make this stuff up!

In Donald's interview with Lester Holt yesterday he said this about Comey:

"He’s a showboat, he’s a grandstander, the FBI has been in turmoil. You know that, I know that. Everybody knows that."

This contradicts what acting FBI director Andrew McCabe said yesterday:

""I hold Director Comey in the absolute highest regard. I have the highest respect for his considerable abilities and his integrity," McCabe told members of the Senate intelligence committee.

He said Comey, who was fired by President Donald Trump on Tuesday, enjoyed "broad support within the FBI and still does to this day." He added, "The majority, the vast majority of FBI employees enjoyed a deep, positive connection to Director Comey.""

So who should we believe? The "Chosen One" who has every motive to lie if he's guilty of colluding with the Russians?

Or the acting FBI director who has zero motive to lie about Comey's respect and support? If anything, wouldn't he want to lie and agree with the POTUS thus increasing his chances of staying on as FBI director?

Gee, this is hard.

Repubs, which is it? I get that Donald has built up a Kim/Stalin like cult of personality. But eventually, don't you have to wake up and smell the coffee? Your clown in the White House cannot go one day without lying and is clearly obstructing an investigation with Russia. Ask yourselves, why? Are you fine with political figures cutting deals with sworn enemies like Russia to win elections? What type of slippery slope does that set us on? You wouldn't tolerate this from Clinton or obama. Why do you tolerate this from Chump???

Is this really making America great again?

Cleanse thy inner vessel!
