Trump Says He Gave Real Estate Advice to Kim Jong-Un: ‘You Could Have the Most Beautiful Condos’ and ‘Become Rich as Hell’

Republicans decimated the public school funding for decades so that they could have a population full of rubes who think this guy was a genius. That's not counting the smart ones who are just trying to buy there way into policy-making that favors whatever scheme they pull in their respective industry.

Otherwise I don't see how any person with half a brain could hear this guy speak and say yeah, this guy should run things.

I love when people claim to not trust the science of vaccines. Vaccines created using the same scientific method that allowed the invention of the smart phones they're typing from. The same science that allows for all modern medicine, energy production, manuacturing, etc.

These people always seem to forget that the majority of economic growth- or the accelerated rate of growth at least- is only possible thanks to the achievements and suggestions of those "weird academics".

But fuck those weird nerds, amirite?!

You know MLK didn't write that transcript, right?

Why are you getting sidetracked from a message of unity with somthing so trivial. It almost seems intentional, like you'd prefer whites and blacks be separate.

My father's genealogy efforts have brought him into contact with more family, most of which he never would have found without. It has had no effect on his immediate family, and he is a great Dad. Maybe you just coincidentally know people who use it as a crutch to replace their broken family relationships.

Edit: Do I upvote this because I don't agree with it?

why do think Gen x is so invisible on the internet? gen z, millenials and boomers seem the most mentioned by far

Reply in thread

I definitely don't see gen X as anywhere close to boomers. Especially on the Internet. Gen X is much more technically literate than their predecessors.

Side note: writing the vague generalized names for entire generations makes me want to vomit. Although the majority of boomers definitely do seem to adhere to the "I got mine fuck you and yours" mentality that completely disregards the context that different generations live and grow up in, there were awesome boomers who were anti war, anti capitalist, and down with free love and expression. Just like on the flip side there are shitty right wing millennials and even gen Zers now out there trolling and even believing the vile shit that gets spewed onto social media.

But you don't have a right for your child to endanger someone else's child. Obviously there is a blurry line there e.g., if my kid has a PB&J he might endanger the welfare of a child with nut allergies. Are we going to ban nuts? Probably not, because not enough kids can get sick from them to warrant that kind of action.

Everyone's kids can get measles. Or covid. Or polio. Or -insert preventable disease here-

Therefore everyone's kids should get vaccinated. I get that our government does shady shit sometimes, but people without any scientific background take that and then believe that vaccines are some huge conspiracy.

It's not.

Science proves they work and do not harm you belong a tiny margin of fringe cases where people have severe side effects (like less than 0.1% of ppl).
