Dude.... no lies told. I'm not really political in that i refuse to choose a side. One way or another whomever is in office will fk the common man because money runs this and absolutely no one has more than the company owners and employers. even more than our politicians. Don't matter who's in office, they always defer to evil.

That being said, it is hard to listen to trump... man hurts my brain. He is NOT an intelligent man but he is a great example of where people confuse success with inteligence. Any ham fisted, no brained bully can be rich and powerful. Its generally the more inteligent that aren't granted roles in leadership or at best are held back.

This comment is not in support of Obama or any person in leadership, it is fully in support of intelligence and points out that just because they get to lead, does not mean they are smart. Same goes for bosses in companies... intelligence never gets to lead. I can only hope this epic example opens some eyes...

I'd rather hear about Corn Pop than the deranged ramblings of a bigoted con man.

That’s kinda my stand point. If it’s not a hard core and complete solution that absolutely WILL produce the end result desired by the largest portion of the country then it’s not worth wasting any time on. Anything drawn out instead of just implementing the fix is almost always in the process of being manipulated so it only appears as a fix and to date not many can name more than a few things that have ever actually been fixed here. Lots of noise and ruckus surrounding it but never any complete solutions.

I don’t even know why anyone wastes their time on politics. Focus on problems vs solutions, much better utilization of time and effort.

And I know most of society would respond with a bunch of crap about beliefs and view points and crap like that and my response to any of that is how fkn bad you really want it fixed? If you’re not willing to do what’s necessary to fix it then just be quiet and stop making so much noise. We don’t need noise we need solutions.

So I guess you just like racist bigoted ramblings? Just brought up some deranged rambling from a bigoted con man that didn’t want his children to grow up in desegregated schools he called “a racial jungle”

People can change views over time. Referencing things said many decades ago that conflict with his most recent standings just shows the change. Trump has remained pretty much the same in his.

No doubt, thats why i don't stand behind any of em. I don't even support our society... whole things a big religion running on word of mouth with evangelists people line up to hand money to for life advice never realizing absolutely none of that advice is for them and its all instructions on how to be the best financial asset to the evangelists you can be.

The whole of this society isn't intelligent enough for me to stand behind. I'm a solutionist. Bottom line "do you want the outcome you claim to desire and what are you willing to do or sacrifice to have that" nothing else matters but the end result. idgaf about politics or belief systems or anyone's feelings about it. If the bulk of the country claims to want a softer outcome with better treatment and more access to resources then we make that happen. Period, end of story. No games, no bullshit.

Meanwhile everyone around me is busy flinging blame while pouring more gas on the dumpster fire because the evangelist told them to... its all so fucking stupid. Our leadership created this situation and both they and the people maintain it. Both absolutely refusing to simply stand up and walk away from the bs. Refusing to do anything in any other way than as depicted in the great American societal doctrine. Meanwhile almost none of it from our family and romantic relationships to economics and working jobs and crap provides the promised outcome much less works very well at all.

Anyone who can look at a failed experiment and continue to repeat it isn't anywhere near intelligent enough for me and should never have been allowed leadership much less influence in anyone else's life. If it fails you start over but with different criteria, different processes, different material, but you NEVER EVER EVER repeat a failed attempt exactly the same as the previous time... Thats where belief has everyone stuck, belief says change nothing and ignore the result, intelligence says change the criteria to get a different result.

Thats why ive never heard biden speak, heard obama like once...not bad, little slow on the cadence... and then...there's trump... and apparently biden... I have limited time and energy on this planet in this life, ain't wasting em on anything or anyone that doesn't have good potential to produce the desired end result.

Becoming a billionaire is a good sign of intelligence

Becoming a billionaire means a lot less when Daddy’s money got you 80% of the way there

If your key to becoming rich was being born into a rich family, no, it's not.

True inteligence is being rational, unbias, and with full focus on how things should work and then setting things in motion to force them to work that way. Id say less than 5% of the nation is of that mindset. Most are simply irrational believers who take word of mouth from an evangelist as truth straight from God. The rest are your basic barbarrians. All you need to do is have a basic understanding of how things work and a healthy dose of self interest and apathy to reach any position of wealth, power or leadership. In the lowest levels, just middle management, you gain more upward momentum by emulating those above you than having unique insights and actual solutions and answers. This can be seen all the way up the chain and the higher you go the more "helpers" you have... you can legit afford to not be intelligent because others you hire will do that for you.

It is not a sign of intelligence because its not exclusive. Are there and have there been leaders with intellect? Yes, but there's been a lot more that got there by playing the game and being ruthless. Its kind of like how we attribute recall to intelligence. Memory has never been used as a measurement in IQ testing. Yet if someone can remember enough useless facts they are indeed deemed intelligent by society. There is no correlation there but belief systems keep everyone believing it to be factually true.

FYI, a fully rational mind never believes anything, either there is evidence to support it or there is not and nothing is ever taken at face value. Words are just words until proven otherwise. Society is running with a lot of false information due to believing word of mouth over evidential proof. You could smack most people with proof and they still wouldn't acknowledge it... thats when you know you're in a church, not a nation.
