With the expansion of presidential powers seen under Trump, implementing something like that can no longer be seen as an impossibility.


What expansion would that be? Please elaborate.

Are you one who thinks Trump can sell AK?
The President is a fink.

Seems more like how you chose to organize your society. There were light skinned tribes still stuck in the hunter gatherer stage while their direct relatives live in modern cities.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Snort, guffaw.. Sure it is. Not.
You could not have written
that with a straight face.

Look at Israel. They were given
a god forsaken chunk of land
and were laughed at because
nobody else wanted it. Because
of the Jews superior intelligence
they turned it into a thriving
country. Look how many Jews
are Nobel Prize winners. The
Jews were slaves and despised
longer than any other group
on the planet. Why didn't that
lower their IQ?


Are Jews a race or a religion/philosophy?

Maybe their high education achievement is because of their teachings?


But, yes that post was sarcasm (what you quoted above).


I don't think any "race" (whatever definition you use) is superior or inferior, but there are cultural issues that make some groups far more successful than others. Single parent families is a huge detriment to modern black families.

Sadly humans are tribal and gravitate towards people that look like them because of evolutionary reasons that make them more comfortable. And, because of this, "races" tend to have cultures that cause success or failure.

It seems odd, that so many intelligence assets support Pete? It also is suspicious that the app "Shadow" was at least in part financed by Pete and possibly HRC, and the way the ap skewed results to support Pete. https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisettevoytko/2020/02/04/heres-everything-we-know-about-the-app-that-reportedly-disrupted-the-iowa-caucus/#3c37884d3303

It wasn't a bug, it was a feature.


So sick of conspiracy theories.

I think the usage of the declaration of emergency is a great example.

You mean a border out of control and a congress refusing to act? Not sure how that is a problem. And as we saw, it is both in law way before Trump and used 59 times since 1976. For those of you in Rio Linda, that is more than once a year. If anything, Trump has been restrained in use of declaration of emergencies.
The President is a fink.

Sure, not a problem, until the tool is used in a way you don't like.

Of course, why wouldn't it be.
It's fine to be non PC in your
private thoughts.
Or the voting booth.

Race/nationality/religion, whatever.
The Jews are smart because of
genetics. After the fall of the
2nd Temple a couple thousand
years ago, Jews had to teach their
families how to read and write.
This resulted in all Jews being
literate in a world where almost
nobody was. They also married
only other Jews, so it was literacy
marrying literacy.
This really paid off around 900AD
when people were moving off
farms and into cities. If you were
literate, you had a huge advantage.
You owned the banks, the stores,
the pawn shops, you owned land
and were landlords. All because
you have been literate as a people
for a thousand years and giving
birth to really smart kids.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

But say ButtCrack is too Gay
and you're bigot.

Yep, libbies making over-the-top comments about Trump is standard practice for them. We even have people who can't stop talking about Trump's ass and penis.

But write a little pun based on Pete Buttcrack's last name, and the long knives of the libbies are out to get you!! 😂😂
