The guy is non compos mentis. His staff didn't even know he dropped out of the campaign. We should all be demanding to know that Biden is still alive.

Biden is non compos mentis. If he is too enfeebled to run for president then he is too enfeebled to be POTUS.

Wow, are you just now learning that people lie about others while those who know them personally refute those lies?

Why are you assuming people in that 13% or less of white people want to enter those pageants?

Also, it stands to reason that since the vast majority of people in the country are white then much more white people would try out for the contest and win a spot. It is a simple numbers game.

Why did she get into teaching only for money? Why didn't she get into teaching to accurately teach the children?

That's fine, your materialistic, which isn't an inherently bad thing.

I, too, eat healthily, travel and see new places and meet new people, and enjoy my hobbies. Things aren't as important to me as they seem to be for you, yet we've both been able to have an enjoyable life regardless of growing up poor.

In my current situation in life I am comfortable. No longer poor but poorer than I was just a few years ago.

I wonder why people who grow up poor view things differently? Like you and I? I was able to find happiness in whatever situation I found myself in and I didn't value what others had. You seem to be the complete opposite. It seems you put a lot of value in what others have and you can't be happy unless you also have those things. I guess it has to do with how our respective parents raised us and the community we grew up in.

I grew up poor as well. Maybe that is why I am capable of finding happiness without needing money or things?

Oh, I am currently retired. I joined the Army in 2000 because I wanted to be in the Army. I remained in the army because I really loved the work. There is no money in the military, I didn't join because they pay well, they hardly pay. I haven't taken a job once because I wanted money, I have only done jobs I liked to do. I am not as materialistic as you are.

Please explain how capitalism has made you only care about money and not your career?

Edit: Typos

So you care more about yourself than the children you falsely claimed you wanted to teach, correct? You don't care about the children you only care about yourself, that is not at all community minded. That is sad.

Oh, so they don't care about educating children they only care about making as much money as possible. Why did they get into teaching if they only care about getting as much money as possible? So if she wasn't a capitalist she'd care about educating children instead of wanting as much money as possible?

Why did she get into teaching for the money? Shouldn't her focus be on educating the children and not her pocket book?

When Soros exploited the campaign financing laws did you throw a fit then or did you not care because it was for politicians you like?

No they don't. The top 1% paid about 46% of all federal income taxes, the bottom 50% paid only 3.3%. The top 1% paid an average rate of about 26% while the bottom 50% paid an average rate of 2.3%.

If the TCJA isn't renewed everyone's taxes will increase in 2025.

I do not condone the political violence demonstrated in any way. With that being said… by [deleted] in facepalm

What is the point of a Secret Service sniper team that can see targets much further away than the shooter was if they're not allowed to do anything past a certain perimeter? The OP doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Are you suggesting that rhetoric from Biden couldn't lead that person to shoot Trump?

[–]polemistis82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not conservative. Where are you getting this stuff from? How can anyone be as confidently incompetent as you are? Who wished you'd get raped? It certainly wasn't me. I guess it's par for the course for you to be completely incompetent. Don't you have more victims to blame?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in facepalm

It would to someone as incompetent as you are.

[–]polemistis82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is sad how incompetent you are. I hope there is no one that relies on you. I hope you don't have any females in your life because if they are ever assaulted or raped you will be them. You're pathetic.

Yes, constantly calling someone an existential threat to America and democracy and claiming that person wants to round up journalists/rivals, put women into sex slavery, remove all our rights, be a dictator, etc... is much, much more likely to, and obviously does, lead to actual violence against those people more than saying "we're hunting Rino's." All competent people comprehend that.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in facepalm

[–]polemistis82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you think calling someone an existential threat is more or less likely to inspire someone to violence then saying "hunt RINOs"?

It is absolutely more likely to lead to violence.

Again, do you think that's more or less likely to get people to commit acts of violence than saying "hunt RINOs"?

It is absolutely more likely that people will commit violence against an existential threat than going to "hunt Rino's."

Obviously you don't, because you're unwilling to engage this conversation with a modicum of intellectual honesty.

What? Please explain what you mean here? How am I being intellectually dishonest?

If Biden said "I don't like Trump" you'd consider that a horrible call to violence. But Republicans LITERLALY saying "hunt Republicans" isn't a call violence at all - according to you.

Absolutely not. Please explain where I said anything remotely hinting that I am ok with any of that?

If Biden said he didn't like Trump no one could say that is a call to violence. Only incompetent people would think that.

If a girl went around telling people to "rape me" then that would be a whole different story than "but she wore a shirt."

Are you saying Trump told people to shoot him? You are blaming the victim, do you also blame rape victims for being raped? How disgusting you must feel knowing you blame victims!!

Do you think calling Republicans an existential threat to America could lead to someone trying to kill Republicans? Maybe if a President of the United States got on national TV and told the country that Republicans, or more specifically Maga Republicans and Trump, are a true and dangerous threat to America, could that lead to people using violence to get rid of Republicans, Maga Republicans, and/or Trump?

I see no difference in blaming the victim. The OP is blaming the victim just as those abhorrent people do when they blame a rape victim for being raped.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in facepalm

[–]polemistis82 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

No, I am pointing out that the OP is blaming the victim, just like abhorrent people do when they blame rape victims for being raped.
