Yes, I fondly recall his speech he gave calling out the MAGA republicans as a danger to the country and right wing media losing their mind over the “fascist” speech.
Is the guy a doddering old fool or a dangerous demagogue? It can’t be both simultaneously
...which he apparently forgot all about the very next day. I don't know what they had him juiced up with (maybe Pervitin, appropriately?) but that's the most coherent I've ever seen him before or since.
The simple solution to the contradiction you propose is: He is a doddering old fool, who is controlled by dangerous demagogues. (And actually, this might describe his predecessor as well.)
But that doesn't mean we can't appreciate when they occasionally do something good (regardless of their motivations), and this is one of those times.
Well we’re have to agree to disagree then. I also don’t think trump was being controlled. These guys are not always on, but you can see that both of them are making decisions and those decisions taking place.
There’s no drug in the world that makes someone go from doddering to able to give long speeches and stay on point.
> The skew only means the smartest 1% of men are smarter than the smartest 1% of women.
I don't think you can put it like that. Even if the IQ (or similar "cognitive capacity" score) distribution is broader&shallower for males, it doesn't mean what you had said.
Judith Polgar was #7th in chess rankings, even if overall number of players scored with ELO is counted in millions?
Dumb people need to be handheld into understanding your precise meaning because you can't assume they'll attach correct qualifiers so that the sensible meaning is inferred. (And even then it probably won't work.) The purpose of your post was to communicate with dumb people.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted so heavily. It's true, SALT deduction limits did hit the rich and now that may be undone [0] (regardless of what you think of Trump and regardless of whether Trump did it to punish blue states)
I think that's true too. Home prices should work like bonds.
However it will likely keep going and then crash more than fizzle.
As long as the interest rate is below the rate of inflation, you'll make money by borrowing money and trading that money for something pegged to inflation, like a house.
This will work in the short term, and so I think people will keep buying.
This is not so correct and greatly over generalized. If this were true HVAC install companies would not be started because they depend on the manufacturers. Another example is the automotive supply chain Companies. If you meant don’t start a business that dependent on a single business that’s probably a better way to put it.
Turkey is explicitly in the geographic area covered by NATO, though (I would assume North Atlantic, North America, Mediterranean, Europe, Turkey and Algerian Departments of France Treaty Organization or NANAMETADFTO was considered too long of a name).
> The Mediterranean is technically part of the North Atlantic.
I'm not sure this is true. What actually happened is that NATO countries realized expanding NATO is in their interest so they ignored the "north atlantic" part of the treaty. While I doubt taiwan will be invited any time soon it wouldn't surprise me at all if Japan or even South Korea is.
It probably isn't so much the spilling of blood that it isn't interested in rather than the chances of wholesale evaporation but otherwise your point stands.
Presumably by agreeing to the terms of the treaty and by being accepted by existing members. It's the North Atlantic Treaty organization, not the North Atlantic Organization
The circle drawn on the map and the description don't match. The circle indicates south of the shore off second beach. Goat island is north of second beach and the wreck is supposed to be north of Goat Island.
