You do realize that you're on an Objectivist site, no??? High self-evaluation is considered a good thing in these parts. Ever heard of Ayn Rand? Heh. Ever read her self appraisals? Heh. Trump is only mildly narcissistic in comparison to the average O-ist.

J

Do YOU realize you're on an Objectivist site?!?  LOL

Donald Trump is NOT Objectivish in any way, and people here are the minority that they support Trump and are Objectivish.

You go first. Demonstrate that you have more intellect than Trump, or at least enough to judge his intellect.

You just setup a stupid game, how does one demonstrate?  What standards?  What precedent?   Your turn.

Yes, she is.  Too bad her husband is despicable and a narcissist.

Exactly. If Trump ever turns into a standard politician -- a Jeff Flake, for example -- he's finished.

I'm still waiting for the moment that Trump was supposed to show us he has intellect.  Some things will never change...

There is a funny ring to this "Forbidden Romance," if true:

Now everyone knows it.  Love is in the air.  Not in the DPRK death-by-work camps, but hey.

Awwww they are in love!  How precious!

Good moment for a love song, no?

Trump is too good for any syllogism!

All men are mortal
Trump is a man
Therefore Trump is mortal---

WRONG!!!!

Trump is the best President ever and will be remembered forever for the rest of time itself!!!  Trump has gained his immortality through being the best President of the United States ever!!

QED!!!

President Trump is the most Randian President we have ever had.

All Randian heroes are successful builders.

Trump is a successful builder.

Therefore, Trump is a Randian hero.

QED!

So the Jeff Flake elevator protestor was a Soros operative?  y/n?

Yes. Co-Executive Director of Center_for_Popular_Democracy (link) gets funding from Soros' Open Society Foundations.

I know they receive funding, I already looked.  It does not mean the elevator protestor was a Soros operative.

In the town I grew up in, we used to have a guy stand on the street corner with a bullhorn and shout nonsense.  In the past he had been involuntarily committed a few times for other things.  Just sayin'.

btw - I don't know who these guys are, but they remind me of a fad that went around Facebook a few months ago.

David Pakman has over 500,000 subscribers and he's also been a guest on Foxnews and I believe others on occasion.  Oh yea, and he has a video playlist educational series dedicated to... critical thinking!  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVrg5xLmCvhF79Ut_CBvv8HMPRjhIbXGa

I don't agree with him on everything, or even all his views on Trump.  His political stance is an Independent that leans left.

My guess is he's going to be around for a while, his show is doing well and they are moving to a new studio soon.

Korben,

You are not among your normal anti-Trump ingroup folks here where you can say Trump has orange hair so he's an orangutan and have everybody yuk it up. Some comedic value is needed to get a laugh around here, not just schoolyard mockery.

Ditto for trying to nitpick common sense.

But if you need a syllogism, try this one:

Major Premise: Soros hates Trump and funds political groups who do anti-Trump activism.
Minor Premise: Hysterical lady works for Soros funded political group that does anti-Trump activism.
Conclusion: Hysterical lady does Soros funded anti-Trump activism.

Not much else is needed. It's not like the anti-Trumpers do where a lady says she was sexually molested at sometime in the past, somewhere or other, and none of her friends can remember, but it was by XXX, so that's proof XXX did it. Also, for further proof, the laughter is indelible in the hippocampus...

 

You may convince your anti-Trump ingroup that Soros does not regularly fund this kind of stuff, especially since he brags about it and there are tons of public records that prove it, but I doubt you will convince many others (well... maybe William... Carol...  ).

All I can say is if you are truly interested in the answers to these questions--instead of trying to use them for empty rhetoric (which we both know is the case)--do your own homework.

I, for one, don't need many stats to know a rattlesnake bites and can kill you.

But others feel differently, for example Christian fundamentalist snake-handlers, or maybe some ancient rattlesnake worshipping civilizations...

You might try people who think like that for your answers. Who knows? There maybe an expert or two among them on rattlesnake docility with all kinds of information...

So the Jeff Flake elevator protestor was a Soros operative?  y/n?

How much funding?

Did the funding influence the protestors?

How much required action do the protestors need to take according to the funding?

Does Soros have a direct hand in their actions?

How much contact does he have with their organization?

How much influence does he have just because there is some amount of funding?

Did the particular recent protest have any involvement by Soros directly?  If so, how much?

Did the funding amount contribute to the elevator protest event?  If so, how?

Holy God, I was thinking after watching the protester video that SOMEONE would say they were sent by Soros.  Woooooo

Crazy cat lady's polygraph consisted of TWO questions only:

1) Is any part of your statement false? -- No.

2) Did you make up any part of your statement? -- No.

Done!  She passed the polygraph!

I saw that yesterday too, Foxnews had a report about it.  This thing is a circus.  Currently the left is calling this "disinformation"---when right now everything is unverified and might likely stay that way.
