They’re both deeply unwell

I almost forgot why I blocked him . Took one interaction and I had to block him again.

They’re sic kening

Outside of a few I can never remember their names or their general disposition, so I keep getting surprised by some really backwards stuff.

They are... and it seems by seeking information from people least likely to have it, they want to stay that way.

All join. The thing is, if we now come to the "human" space - and leave God on one side, and we set our heart to do good - as God requested, we will see that 8 out of 10 times, most liberals and others listed earlier, and this is perhaps due to their ignorance of everything Godly and true, or out of sheer stubbornness or just outright disgusts for Godly things, liberals like to go against God's command and his words!

You sound like a very young Chrisitan.
Your description of the Word and how it applies to Trump is barely coherent.
No shade, you should endeavor to grow in your faith.

A person's support of Trump speaks more about their faith life than anything else they can say or do.

1 Corinthians 13:11. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

bros, I am NOT a prophet. How will I know? What's clear though is that the guy hates everything evil plaguing the Western world today: multiculturalism, lgbtqi, Islamism, Wokeism, liberalism, abortion, etc - things that if we weigh against God's words and standards - again, according to what we have seen and read in His words, they are abominations, evils and sins to Him.

You should really open up the New Testament and read the Word.
It's like you have this pretend notion of what the Bible really says.

This one weak me o o. bas, benalvi, how do one evaluate this type of "thing" in America?

Translated:
Guys who don't live nor have never stepped foot in America, how do we evaluate this type of thing that happened in America?

Are you normal?

raumdeuter:
When you have a faulty baseline you continue to make silly arguments that make no sense, There are more than 10 top schools in the country top students want to go

Besides the Ivy Leagues there are other top schools that top student want to attend the Uchicago, Northwestern, Caltech, UCLA, Berkeley, Vanderbilt, MIT, Duke John Hopkins etc

Carson could have gone to any of these schools and come out with the same outcome in life as the best Neurosurgeon of his generation

Your poor Maths, logic and basic reasoning is shocking

Yes, the top ranked student wants to go to the 11 ranked school by choice..
Just like the 3rd ranked Ben Carson chose to go to the 11 ranked school.
Oh yeah, he didn't, he was the 3rd ranked student and went to Yale.

All your arguments require people to have brain damage.
No wonder Fetterman is a MAGA now.

raumdeuter:
You are exposing your lack of knowledge here which shows you do not know anything
Is every of the 75k top 3 student in the country trying to get admitted into Yale?

If Yale admits 1500, That means the other top colleges can take the others

Its simple Maths. You are mediocre at Maths, Percentage and Logic

The numbers were there to highlight the sheer nonsensicalness of thinking if someone graduated in the top 3 of their school they would be automatically accepted into Yale.
But you persist.
So, let's do some "simple math".

Let's say that all the #1 students went to the top 10 schools. These schools accept roughly 1,500 students a year. So 10 schools @ 1500 freshmen would be 15,000 slots for freshman.
That is still less than the 25,000 high schools and their 25,000 #1 students.
So, where would the other 10,000 students go?
Because as we all know the #1 student in each school works so hard because they don't want to go to the #1 University. /s
And these numbers don't even account for the #2, or #3 student, which Carson was.

Maybe this simple math isn't so simple for you, because if it were, you wouldn't be doubling down on ur silly argument.

raumdeuter:
Reading beyond the Headline helps. Reading an entire article and understanding what is meant really helps

Like for Condoleeza like for Carson

Read and understand. This is not even as hard as percentages that you struggled with

How many times have you played this game and lost?
You post things that clearly say something different than what you think they do.

Case in point. Here is the rest of the article

I believe that I benefited from affirmative action.
In my mind, I was pretty hot stuff. Only after I got to Yale and became cognizant of my classmates’ many accomplishments did I realize that the admissions committee had taken a substantial risk on me and that I had been extended special consideration. My early academic experiences were traumatic, and but for the grace of God, I would have flunked out.
https://www.creators.com/read/ben-carson/02/14/beyond-affirmative-action

Do you see the part where he realized he had less qualifications than his classmates?
Or the part that he almost flunked out?
You are not beating the allegations that you don't have the ability to understand what you read.

But what is sillier is that you follow it up with this:

raumdeuter:
Ben Carson that was a top 3 student in his High School or another one?

There are roughly 25,000 high schools in the US.
If the top 3 students got into Yale, Yale would need 75,000 freshman spots.
If just the top student got into Yale, Yale would need 25,000 freshman spots.
Yale accepts roughly 1500 students into its Freshman class.

You are woefully out of your depth in this conversation.
I've lived it. You're Bs'ing it.

raumdeuter:
Ben Carson that was a top 3 student in his High School or another one?

This is what Ben Carson has to say about it

Affirmative action hurts the very people it’s supposed to help by promoting negative stereotypes about their competency and professionalism.

It gives the impression that a smart person was helped through a quota which is a disservice to their abilities, The same thing Charlie Kirk was saying

The Ben Carson who wrote the article in which he said "I believe that I benefited from affirmative action"
Wtf? Can you read? I'm seriously beginning to doubt that.

But, color me shocked that a black Republican who benefited from a policy is now against it.

raumdeuter:
Evidence are plenty people like Obama, Ben Carson, Clarence Thomas, Condoleeza Rice etc all rose to the pinnacle of their careers by being the best and not propped up

Everyone can rise to the top when you give them the same opportunities as everyone

We did Condoleeza Rice yesterday.
Let's do Ben Carson today.
Here is an article Ben Carson wrote.

I believe that I benefited from affirmative action.

So, Rice benefited from Affirmative actio and became National Security Advisor. You seem to think highly of her.
Carson benefited from Affirmative action and become a Neurosurgeon. Again, you seem to think highly of him.

What was your argument again?
You don't have one. Just Dogma.

cococandy:
God forbid I support evil because someone we “like” is the perpetrator

I can't even understand what the US is doing here.
Israel has fallen so far from any sense of morality or decency.
It always seems that whatever ends justify their means.
And since we are their benefactors we get roped in.

TV01:
Succeeding in securing entry into one such school is quite notable. Several is highly commendable - very well done.
But, doesn't that make you a poster child for raumdeuter's argument? Taking it as read it was all on merit, not AA, quotas etc.
TV

What is Raumdeuter's argument? He changes it so much I'm not sure he knows himself.

raumdeuter:
Rice said talented people should be looked for everywhere they can find them and oppose affirmative actions that is quota based

which means go to every zip code to find the talents look outside your regular channels to find people but ensure its not to fill a certain quota

Your argument was predicated on the fact that Rice succeeded all on her own without any help.

raumdeuter:
Evidence are plenty people like Obama, Ben Carson, Clarence Thomas, Condoleeza Rice etc all rose to the pinnacle of their careers by being the best and not propped up
Everyone can rise to the top when you give them the same opportunities as everyone

That is wrong. Rice was a product of Affirmative Action at Princeton which helped her get her fellowship.

Most other people presented with that incongruent information would challenge their premise.
Maybe they would ask, hmm, why did someone that you say is as Brilliant as Rice need Affirmative Action to get a slot for a fellowship at Princeton.
And them maybe consider, that if she didn't get that slot, would she have still made the contributions that she did?
And then maybe have the ah ha moment that maybe it's not about ability but giving an opportunity.

But, no, you still march on as if your argument hadn't been destroyed.
Because your views aren't about facts or reality, just dogma.

raumdeuter:

Raumdeuter: Condoleezza Rice rose to the pinnacle of her career by being the best and not propped up

Condoleezza Rice: I got help through Affirmative Action.

raumdeuter:
There is one person among those interested who is likely better than others. And work within the environment, A business based in Boston will only pick the best from Boston area and wont even look at someone from Idaho
The current business setup that is mostly white, they want to make money and profit, Profit and success doesn't care about bias or emotions. All NBA owners are mostly white, why are they not filling their teams with white guys?

You seem to believe unless they have a thumb on the scale for you, there is no way for you to be successful, That is deep inferiority complex

Yes, speaking to the guy who went to some of the best and most Competitive schools in the world.
Oga, go rest and focus on this deep insecurity you have that makes you dislike your own skin.

Rice got her fellowship at Stanford due to a Stanford Strategy that took Affirmative Action into account.

Your arguments dissected with facts included always seen to counter whatever point you are trying to make.
You should really research the things you speak about.

raumdeuter:
A business is to make profit, A business is not political. Its to make profit. Yu are more likely to be successful when you choose the best people

When a business decides not to choose the best people they are likely to fail

When a business decides not to select the best people they will get the results on the balance sheet at the end of the year

Sport is a great example, Teams pick only the best people to represent them and shop anywhere all over the world for the best talent, If you choose to not pick the best or you use sentiments of coachs child or nephew, you will get your results by end of the season

So a government is only political and so its goal is not to pick the best people to do the best job?
Do you think there is only one best employee for every job? And given the current makeup of the business world that person is mostly white?
Ur argument is so muddled and seems to come from a place of deep insecurity.

raumdeuter:
This is the most basic knowledge,

Cabinets are political appointments
Most presidents choose people from their side of the aisle and their own party. Same way Biden and Kamala became 1 and 2 no one thought they were the smartest 2 people in the country

The cabinet he got will be a representative of his supporters and those who voted for him

Lol
You are sooooo close to getting it.
Lol
And that would be different than any other government agency or business how?
Soooo close.

Let me repeat this again.
You live a life without fully researched nor fully formed thoughts, just superficial ideas born from the Right Wing Twitter you read.
God I can't.

raumdeuter:
Black people are smart enough to compete and do not need quotas. Black people have been excelling without granting them quotas

We have black US presidents, Obama, SCOTUS judges like Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas without one, we had Secretary of states like Collin Powell and Condoleeza Rice without it, We had Ben Carson without one

Black people do not need quotas just give us a chance. They can excel in plane flying without quotas and putting thumb on a scale

You say this based on what?
Your understanding of what a quota is?
Your extensive knowledge of black American history?
Your extensive knowledge of how Black Americans have fared in the work force or society being underrepresented in most fields?

Below are Trump's two cabinets.
Notice there was only one black person in both of them who held the same position in both (Housing and Urban Development).
I wonder why? Wasn't there any other qualified black person in the whole US to fill any other position than HUD?

You live a life without fully researched nor fully formed thoughts, just superficial ideas born from the Right Wing Twitter you read.

Trump's mind is all the way gone.
It's not just that he's lying, it's that he's lying about things that are readily apparent he is lying about and doesn't seem to understand that.

7 US soldiers died and 100's more wounded because the US Military went out on an 'excursion'.
His command of English is just as good as Benalvino's.

Bwahhahahahha
This is literally what is going on.
Cabinet secretaries looking like clowns because they are too scared not to wear shoes Trump bought them by guessing their shoe size.
Even nuttier is that they just don't buy the same shoes that fit. They must wear the oversized shoes because Trump got them for them.
If they are this scared of him, what type of real advice can they give him?

raumdeuter:
You now pay attention to the shoes and dressing of other men

You are not beating the allegation Felicia

Your ability to hold incongruent thoughts in your mind at the same time still surprises me.

You do know you are replying to a post where Trump is "pay[ing] attention to the shoes and dressing of other men" and buying them new shoes.

One can't be pro-Democracy and Pro Us Constitution and yet be comfortable with this Trump war with Iran.

This is a good article
The Will of One Man
The structures of self-government do impose burdens on the imperial presidency. That’s the point.

James Madison helpfully explained, writing under the name “Helvidius” in the Federalist papers:
War is in fact the true nurse of executive aggrandizement. In war a physical force is to be created, and it is the executive will which is to direct it. In war the public treasures are to be unlocked, and it is the executive hand which is to dispense them. In war the honors and emoluments of office are to be multiplied; and it is the executive patronage under which they are to be enjoyed. It is in war, finally, that laurels are to be gathered, and it is the executive brow they are to encircle. The strongest passions, and most dangerous weaknesses of the human breast; ambition, avarice, vanity, the honorable or venial love of fame, are all in conspiracy against the desire and duty of peace.
Hence it has grown into an axiom that the executive is the department of power most distinguished by its propensity to war: hence it is the practice of all states, in proportion as they are free, to disarm this propensity of its influence.

GracieX3:

He agrees with everything Kirk said.
In his heart and mind he wishes he was a white man.

How to beclown yourself.
These are grown men with no shame nor self respect.

I think one of the things that led to the US's success was stealing top talent(Brain Drain) from other countries.
Trump singlehandedly reversed that.
The question is can the next president reverse that?
If not this is going to be felt for generations.

Every new piece of evidence shows Trump trying to cover up the Epstein investigation.

But, Comer doesn't seem to remember who was President in 2019 or for some reason can't say it.
I wonder why?

Welcome to the United States of Idiocracy
The President's Secretary is saying that the President was just sharing his "opinions" as facts on a matter of the killing of 125 children who were at school.
And those "opinions" would be utterly insane for a President to have as they are utterly uninformed esp. for a President taking a country to war.
How does he not know that what weapons are the province of only the US?

And that is the best answer his Press Secretary to cover up the fact that he was LYING again.

bayelsaowei:
One has to be a disgraced person to ardently support Trump.

How can a president conclude on a matter that is still under investigation with early evidence showing the US is most likely the culprit of the school bombing. and this is the Otondo many humans have chosen to worship and follow.

Solid question by the journalist to the coconut 🥥 head president

Truth is they already know the answer. The fact that no serious person is denying it tells you the answer.
The US missiles are accounted for and most guided. Easy to know where it went. Was most likely a US missile.
They are delaying for time, as not to inflame the issue. They are also hoping most media move on

bayelsaowei:
When I say this man is vile and a disappointment, his hopeless subjects would call it TDS.

How can a president be this Moro-nic?

The nonsense he does and says everyday would have gotten any other President impeached or would be an ongoing daily outrage.
To think that the President of the US doesn't seem to know that Iran can't possibly have tomahawk missiles or understand why is breathtaking.
That he doesn't even know the capabilities of a country he decided to go to war with.
Imagine if this was Biden or Obama, but Trump, it's just another news conference.

The problem isn't just internally.
The bigger problem is with our allies.
They could have assumed Trump's first election was a fluke.
But the 2nd? That a country could elect him again? They can't have any trust in the US voters not to let it happen again.
All our old allies are probably moving 100 miles per hour on ways to decouple from the US esp. beefing up their militaries.
We've already seen that with this Iranian war and the UK not allowing the US to use its base.
That would have been unimaginable in the past.
