Was there a point to quoting a bunch of things orrr.... calling a spade a spade? Was that what was funny?

You're an idiot. I screenshot my own post and pointed out my location being in the US (because you're an idiot that thinks only people in the US can have a say) and you thought I was talking about YOU

I'm sorry for laughing, it's probably because I'm not as mature as you.

I agree it doesn't make any sense at all and I would love to know why

Why? It's because his name is all over the F'ing files, that's why. He was Epstein's best friend for a decade, you honestly think he's not mentioned or linked to anything in there whatsoever? Seriously though, how are you this dense?

He's protecting wealthy donors. Massie's already said as much. F them all. Let them fry.

Is this your way of actually admitting that Trump is protecting pedophiles? Is that what you're saying, Sarah?

I have said it before and Il'l say it again - extremism on both sides is dangerous. Unfortunately, we are seeing more and more of it and historally, and that never ends well.

The answer to Obamas's second term was the drastic pendulum swing to MAGA.

The answer to that was potato.

The answer to that was MAGA v 2.0 which makes MAGA 1.0 look tame.

The answer to MAGA 2.0 is political assassinations and celebration of the deaths of hated rivals. boogeyman wished all trump voters dead in here long before MAGA 2.0 even began. People were disappointed the shooter missed Trump. Keep cheering the posts that show signs of deteriorating health and hoping for him to die. And celebrated the death of Kirk. All of that is in here alone and all of it has been done by numerous individuals. Its not even like we have just 1 crazy. We are full of them here in CVON.

I think a lot of people feel the drastic pendulum swings are necessary. I am not sure when it will stop.

I dont think it can be stopped in politics directly. With that being the case, I dont think there is a quick solution. If only there was one ideal centrist candidate that would pop up out of nowhere.... But, there is not.

I think indirectly, through education in schools can be the answer. Thats not to say liberal indoctrination is right. And that is not to say it should be replaced by conservative indoctrination. Im talking about neutral, completely apolitical plain old education. Reworking of entire curriculums. We dont learn what is important.

No one knows geography. Finance and economics are usually just high school electives that most kids don't take. And of course then, they dont major in those things in college. So the vast majority never learn it.

No one knows sociology. Who are all these different groups of people in the world? What is their religion? Culture? Customs? What is their history that has shaped their value system and beliefs? Without that we cant understand why people act, and react a certain way. We don't have the foresight to predict outcomes and what effect it will have on people.

We get ancient history which can teach us not to repeat past mistakes, but no one learns about the current geopolitical climate. There is very little current events focus in school. Nobody even understands what/where Gaza is. Who are palestinians? Where the hell is isreal and where are all the jews even living? Why are they fighting? On that note what the hell else is going on in the middle east? Who are all of these militant groups? Taliban? Houthis? etc. Nobody is really learning this stuff.

No school teaches interpersonal communication. I took a class in college. Most majors dont need that. Most people will never get that. Communication is a dying skill. We text. We dont look at people in the eyes. We dont know how to listen. Our media had to be condensed in to clips a few seconds in length. We have no attention span. We lost the ability to disagree. We have largely lost the will to learn from people who disagree with us. They are painted as the enemy instead of welcomed as a source of insightful perspective that may teach us something, or at least learn why the other side sees things the way they do. When you can do that, you can find common ground, and a starting point from which you can work together to achieve what is usually a common goal.

The libs cant understand the implications of their candidates policies. The republicans cant either. They get what theyre told by the media. That their candidate is great and the other side is completely wrong. There is no critical thinking. Our brains do not contain enough baseline information to do so. The equation does not contain enough information to calculate.

There are websites to read the basic gist of what our candidates stand for. We are not capable of understanding what it all actually means because our education is insufficient. Those websites seem so informative, yet, they dont create informed decisions. Not even close.

Many people have no idea what they are voting for. Many people have some idea. Many people are just voting against something. Almost no one is capable of understanding the downstream effects. Not even most of the libs in here who think theyre brilliant.

Here is the difference between myself, and a lot of the loony libs in here.

I have intelligence, but lack relevant education. I have a master's degree (and undergrad) in fields that give me little ability to understand in depth political issues. I get a vote. Im smart and ill-informed. Thats a problem.

The loony libs seem to have better backgrounds more relevant to political issues. They lack intelligence. They parrot their televisions. They fall for fake news just as much as they make fun of Diehard for doing. They cant grasp the concept of context and its importance. They mis-read, and mis-understand posts all of the time. The mis-represent opinions and play the logical fallacy game constantly. They succumb to all of the interersonal communication pitfalls. For a group of self proclaimed smart people, I have never seen people struggle to have meaningful conversations. In real life, the brilliant people I know thrive on conversation. Meaningful, deep, thoughtful, and thought provoking conversations. These people are incapable of that. I dont think truly intelligent people can survive with out it. These people are faux-intellects. Theyre educated idiots. They get a vote. They are emotional little bishes who lack the ability to apply their relevant education in a productive way politically whether it be due to their shortcomings as communicators, or because they are crazy, or for most of them it seems like both... They get a vote. And though they are on the opposite end of the spectrum from me, its still a problem.

Together, we represent some of the most capable voters this country has to offer. The intelligent ill-informed, and the educated idiots. That is a problem.

Whats even more sad is that we are all capable of better, but we are like Howie Roseman handuffed by working off of Joe Douglas's ridiculously bad draft board. We can make better decisions, but we are forced to choose between to terrible candidates served up to us by the rest of the country, who is neither as intelligent, nor as well informed as the group of us in here. So the best of the best voters, have to vote for absolute horseshit. And we argue endlessly about who's pile of crap is stinkier. And its all just a waste. of. time. And there is no end in sight.

Everyone needs all of that education. It cant be elective. And it cant be something that maybe you major in in college. It has to be widespread, mandatory education starting in high school, if not earlier. I think, its the only way to begin digging out of this hole.

I don’t see how the shooter was an asset, a pro, or an organized hit. No one that had training is aiming for that small of a target in his neck where if he missed by an inch or two, up or to the right, Kirk is probably fine. I would think it was someone that doesn’t totally understand distance and trajectory, aimed for his head and ended up getting the shot he wanted but not intended.

A retarded rube who had to beg the government to pay back his student loans for his ankle taping degree is lecturing us about why the populace needs better education to make better life choices.

case in point...

every post you will ever make will always serve to strengthen my points in that post. It should hang in the louvre surrounded by all of your crazy drivel. What a glorious exhibit it would be. One sentence, with so many things wrong. And it ALL fits perfectly in to the various points I made. If I felt like taking the time it would be funny to dissect and point out each issue covered in that post that you perfectly represented with your 1 sentence.

because he watched the movie American Sniper that said "aim small miss small"

The other side says people gave signals, the guy who got arrested right away was a plant/diversion to help the sniper get away. He disappeared. Hit that accurate shot from a distance. Was a planned professional job.

Sometimes time will tell. Other times, there is a political coverup. So either we'll find out. Or, we wont. Who knows.

The first 3 paragraphs read like a bad freshman "Psychology 101" paper. I could only take so much.
