We can call this a "bridgejacking."
"I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further."

As far as I am concerned, he never had any magic. I was surprised that so many people thought that such a boring, and uninspired speaker could be so popular.
I think I should add that my lesson of this is that the style, and brilliance of the speech apparently doesn't mean so much as the content: theAs far as I am concerned, he never had any magic.

Either that or they interpreted it to say what they wished it said and willfully ignored the problems. After all, Republican GOOD/on my side and Democrat BAD/trying to give away what should be mine to people I don't like.I think I should add that my lesson of this is that the style, and brilliance of the speech apparently doesn't mean so much as the content: themoronsaudiences heard his ignorant, hateful message, and liked what they heard.
OK. You win. Getting an MD doesn't take intelligence.I've been a medical secretary in a teaching hospital for 30 years, my boss was a member of the local disciplinary board for medical professionals, I've seen all kinds of doctors and surgeons who did pass all the necessary exams but proved to be ill mannered, socially inept, consistently irrational, and often a real danger for the patients, so forgive me for not being totally persuaded that getting a MD or a PhD is a complete guarantee for what is considered intelligence.
Oh please, I'm sure you're more intelligent than that !OK. You win. Getting an MD doesn't take intelligence.

Man this was probably the cringiest moment along with saying Anderson Cooper has different persuasions than him, and that's okay.Trump: "The other day a senator I knew got a text from his wife. She said, 'When you get home, I want to have you immediately come up the stairs and make love to me.' And he said, 'I can't do both.' You know? Haha. In other words, haha, you can't go up the stairs and make love. Does anybody get that?…In other words, he can't go up the stairs and make love. Too old. You know?…Does anybody understand this stuff?"

Well, it had to be rather dim people. The reason it worked 2016 is that the MAGA people had already thought these things and were thrilled when Trump said them out loud.As far as I am concerned, he never had any magic. I was surprised that so many people thought that such a boring, and uninspired speaker could be so popular.
They laughed when he said he was going to tell jokes.Trump: "The other day a senator I knew got a text from his wife. She said, 'When you get home, I want to have you immediately come up the stairs and make love to me.' And he said, 'I can't do both.' You know? Haha.

Maybe it's just my training.Oh please, I'm sure you're more intelligent than that !![]()
What you're describing in the bolded does not mean they weren't intelligent. It means they had personality problems or perhaps social skills difficulties due to being on the autism spectrum, etc. Someone who is "consistently irrational" has a mental health problem, not a lack of intelligence. A doctor who is "a real danger for their patients" isn't a very good doctor, perhaps due to poor training or sloppiness, but that doesn't equate to not being intelligent.I've been a medical secretary in a teaching hospital for 30 years, my boss was a member of the local disciplinary board for medical professionals, I've seen all kinds of doctors and surgeons who did pass all the necessary exams but proved to be ill mannered, socially inept, consistently irrational, and often a real danger for the patients, so forgive me for not being totally persuaded that getting a MD or a PhD is a complete guarantee for what is considered intelligence.

You spelled that wrong.Whenever he says something really stupid and gets called on it, he says he's being sarcastic, but the reality is he's just dumb.

Republican Kurt Alme is a terrific candidate for the U.S. Senate in the Wonderful State of Montana, which I love and WON BIG in 2016, 2020, and 2024. He loves the U.S.A., and is a truly Great American Patriot! Kurt is running against a Radical Left Democrat named Alani Bankhead, who loves High Taxes, Open Borders, No Consequences for Violent Criminals, Men in Women’s Sports, and Transgender for Everybody, among other CRAZY ideas!
Kurt is one of the Strongest, and most Conservative, Republican Candidates in the Country, whereas his Opponent, Alani Bankhead, is a Radical Left Extremist, who will put our Country, and Safety, LAST. Kurt, on the other hand, will ALWAYS put Montana, and America, FIRST. Alani Bankhead is a Radical Left LUNATIC Dumocrat, whose values are not those of the people of Montana, or the United States of America — But the good news is that Kurt Alme is the PATRIOT that everyone is looking for, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement — KURT WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!
I suspect that a lot of Russians wouldn't know that, either, among others.It's okay, a lot of people don't know that dumb has a b. They're all at a pre-reading age.
In court documents filed last week, and first reported on by The New York Times, Trump administration officials confirmed they terminated $7.5 billion in clean energy grants in October “based solely” on political criteria, focusing on states with Democratic leadership that voted for Kamala Harris in 2024. The admission came in a lawsuit filed by California researchers challenging the cancellation of Biden-era funding in multiple federal agencies.
The defence will be "Nothing says Trump can't!"![]()

It's the most corrupt administration by a long shot.Only one month ago, Energy Secretary Chris Wright angrily insisted to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology that the cuts “did not involve politics in the decision-making of our review process,” calling any accusation that the funding cancellations targeted certain states for political reasons “◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊.”
This is why you can never trust anything this administration says (as if you needed another reason)
