Trumpism 101

Wow. I've read something to the effect that Woods is, literally and technically, a genius- aced his SATs, scored like 180 on an IQ test, etc.; and I don't think I've ever seen a better demonstration of how intelligence is not a consistent predictor of being right on any given issue, even when being wrong requires being cataclysmically stupid about it. I dunno, James- how do you think Biden knew "months in advance" about the possibility of a pandemic that the US wasn't prepared for? And here's another question- why didn't Trump know months in advance? It doesn't require your implication of conspiracy to understand that one administration was paying attention to the actual job, and the other thinks the entire job is "ratings" and self-congratulation.

Absolutely! Having a high IQ is not a good indicator that they are right on any given issue, particularly political and religious. I know someone who belongs to MENSA who is so blinded by personal bias confirmation that s/he accepts unproven pseudoscience over actual forensic evidence.
 
Don't know if it's been posted yet, apologies if it has:

"Trump insisted he hasn't said a vaccine could be ready before November, although he said so repeatedly and as recently as Friday.

The president then proceeded to say what he had just denied ever saying.

“What I said is by the end of the year, but I think it could even be sooner that that,” he said about a vaccine. “It could be during the month of October, actually could be before November.”

No wonder they are putting stamps on Business Reply Mail (postage is suppose to be paid by the business).

Got my latest Trump survey the other day. The envelope had an address like window but it was over to the left and the address was printed to the right on the envelope itself. Prominently displayed through the window were stamps affixed to an envelope. That envelope appeared to be a normal, but upside-down, Business Reply Mail envelop. It was the standard 'number registered just to you' donation solicitation 'survey'. Least they didn't try to portray this one as a census. It had the usual 'if you can't donate at least send $15 to process your survey response. The usual stuff but the new and hilarious thing were the stamps, that not only were intentionally displayed through the window of the closed envelope but were repeatably refereed to in the enclosed material. Several repetitions of the fact that the return envelope was 'live stamped', ensuring a rapid return, were made. It was three one cent stamps, so even the live stamping wasn't that alive. On a Business Reply Mail envelope no less. Now it's not unheard of for someone donating to put stamps on the Business Reply Mail envelope they are sending the donation in, to help deffer the cost of the postage for that organization. However, they put these on themselves and made a point of it both in the initial visual presentation and in the documentation, but could only scrape together three measly cents for their showboating. It'd be a farcical joke if this three penny opera wasn't the current presidents campaign.

Proclamation on Labor Day, 2020
The American workforce is the best in the world and, since day one of my Administration, I have been standing up for the American worker.

I expect that the only times Trump has ever stood up for an American worker was when one of them was sliding his chair back for him after he finished dinner.

@JenaGriswold
In Colorado, we take double voting seriously and refer all suspected cases for legal enforcement. If it makes sense, I will include @realDonaldTrump in the referral for prosecution. He may not have presidential immunity anymore depending on the election.

She's definitely gonna get a "nasty" for that.

Right. Just like he never called McCain a 'loser' even though he's on video doing exactly that.

From today's presser. All caps are from the transcript. I just c & p'd:

Reporter: YOUR POINT IS WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS THAT THEY ARE SAYING IT FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES. YOU HAVE ASSERTED REPEATEDLY A VACCINE WILL BE ON THE MARKET BEFORE AN ELECTION.

Trump: I SAID I THE END OF THE YEAR. YOU ARE NOT QUOTING ME ACCURATELY. I SAID VACCINE WILL BE ON THE MARKET BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR, BUT THEY MAY EVEN BE ON THE MARKET, THEY MAY EVEN BE FULLY DEVELOPED, TESTED -- WE HAVE 30,000 PEOPLE AND JUST ONE VACCINE UNDER TEST IN VERY HIGHLY INFECTED AREAS, SO WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET A GOOD RESULT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER VERY SOON. SO I DIDN'T SAY WHAT YOU SAID. I SAID BY THE END OF THE YEAR, BUT I THINK IT COULD EVEN BE SOONER THAN THAT. IT COULD BE DURING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER. IT COULD BE BEFORE NOVEMBER.

When asked on Geraldo Rivera's radio show if a vaccine could be ready by Nov. 3, Trump said, "I think in some cases, yes, possible before, but right around that time."https://thehill.com/homenews/admini...accine-may-be-ready-right-around-election-day

And her very own new nasty nickname! I think all Dems should make up badges with their Trump bestowed nasty nicknames and embrace them as badges of honor. Turn them right around on him. That would really piss him off.

Hmm. It's the most uncharitable thought, I know, but perhaps he's not thinking of an election in terms of November? That he really believes he'll be able to push it out to next year instead.

I know I shouldn't say this but part of me really wants Biden (or a Biden approved minion, hell, even Bernie) to troll the **** out of James Woods.

Doesn’t 180 represent 5.3 standard deviations above the mean?
Wouldn’t that be like 1 in 10,000,000?

ETA
no. Wait.
I got something wrong here.

My late father-in-law claimed he had an IQ of 180. I told him an online IQ test doesn't count. He was not pleased.
