Tbf, I think a certain minimum amount of intelligence is required to even qualify for that statement, which I suspect disqualifies most… but yeah, underneath that, there do seem to be a few, like Jeff Bezos.

Though Donald Trump himself I see more like a monkey doing its thing, as much a symptom as a feed-forward cause of his own. I ain’t saying that he’s not “evil” in his own way, just that he lacks sufficient character for his brand of it to have had any effect at all, if it weren’t for the fact that the systems were so broken to begin with. Money (his father’s in his case) corrupts.

Bold of you to assume that most people even want that. From what I can tell…

Ah… remember when this stuff used to sound fake?

And yet a glance at how the Russian army is equipped…

Hrm, maybe when that happens, turn it back over again? After that, continue to follow the directions on the card.

That’s what “smart” people would do anyway - you are “smart”, aren’t you? 🧠

Oh no, he’s not falling for that again (and again and again and again and again)!

They’re not sending their best and brightest folks. And some I assume are good people, but…

It all comes to naught, in the end.:-P

Well you can’t just throw down something like that… and not provide the receipt!?

It’s not about “mad”, it’s about pushing boundaries. If they decide they want to…

*we*'re

I am not from the UK so it is not my place to say one way or another…

But many people who voted for it directly are saying exactly that, yes! They say “how dare you, what were you thinking, allowing us to make such an important choice as that!?”

That is what makes me think that democracy has lost. Even The People seem to no longer want it. It takes real effort to get stuff done, and if we don’t maintain our shit, then it falls apart.:-(

It almost sounds like they may not have thought this through fully…

Tell that to Hillary Clinton…

I am downvoting bc of the exceedingly clickbait title with absolutely zero follow-up details except for a link. This post is therefore “advertising” - like spam in my inbox alerting me to an “opportunity” (to save on car insurance or printer ink, ignoring whether or not I even have one of those devices, or whatever), it takes up all of our attention. Which at currently 37k subscribers to this community, measured at a one minute each, is collectively 617 hours, or 15.4 work week time periods, i.e. 3.9 months total.

The article itself might even be good, or it might not be but at this point I am indisposed to click the bait in order to find out. And my point above stands either way.

Possibly you mean well OP - I have had troubles posting articles myself, assuming that details would be auto-populated like I see elsewhere, but then it did not happen - I am just offering my unasked-for opinion, in case it helps.:-) Especially since others I see are likewise downvoting so I wanted to add an explanation at least from my own POV.

To increase the number of people who would click on the article to read it.
