Went to an historically black university and sued for being discriminated against for being white. Then decided she was black and got a job at a public university based on being black. Probably would be categorized as having "borderline personality disorder", based on modern theory. I had a roommate a long time ago who was a dumb ass redneck, and I think he had a more appropriate category, which he called "MFC." The last letter stands for "crazy" and I will let the readers figure out what the first two stand for.

Posts: 3510How come the European countries with the most elements of socialism in their mixed economies consistently rate as the happiest countries in the world? Denmark, Finland, and Sweden are the ones that are always at the top of the happiness scores. Been to all of those countries and they sure seem happy to me, or at least very content. And that's even given the shitty weather.
I agree some people are lazy, stupid, worthless, etc. My prof for intro econ, same guy for micro and macro, big time Republican conservative, called them "4 percenters," and said that this was why the unemployment rate would never get below 4% for any length of time. I took intermediate micro from a member of the Lehman family, who was left of center, and he claimed that a combination of socialism and free trade produced the best results, although that's more of a macro topic. That was the hardest fucking class I ever took at any level, and one thing he did prove to my satisfaction is that tariffs are always wrong due to the "deadweight loss." Took me a couple of weeks to understand the math he put up on that one but when I finally did, I was convinced. Had another prof, Dr. Wen Hai from China, who guest lectured in my graduate level managerial economics class, who proved the same thing with some simpler math that used some calculus. I think Trump knows all this too, and is just pandering to the ignorant with all his talk of tariffs.
So then the question becomes, what do you do with the 4%? Shoot them? Feed them but don't house them such that they are begging on the street? Sterilize them? I tell you what: I would be okay with basing the 4%ers' eligibility for welfare on getting Norplants. That would not bother me a bit. But that only works for females given current technology. Vasectomies are a bit permanent and that shit they make sex offenders take to blunt their sex drives seems a bit extreme. Depo Provera, I think it's called. But if you give all the female welfare recipients Norplant, then you only have to deal with males knocking up women who are not on welfare and can presumably support them. Given women's tendency to hook up with losers for reasons I've never understood, that's probably happening already and I don't see why it would increase.
Maybe instead of giving the 4%er men Depo Provera, we could just make them wear vests in public saying, "I am a lazy, useless fuck and thanks for feeding me!".

It's really interesting that everything that President Trump said was going to happen or is going to happen or is happening eventually Happens.
Absolutely everything from the smallest and seemingly insignificant pieces of information to the most significant prophecies eventually occur exactly like he said they would no matter how absurd they may have sounded at the time.
And this started a long time before he won the election.
The so called half truths and rants and boasts eventually happen.
Dumb like a Fox ?
Smart enough to win.
Wait and see.

There is plenty of stupid to go around on both the left and right. It's the same old story of the ant and the grasshopper - guess you guys are the grasshopper since you always want someone else to foot the bill.

Now let's take Clinton's modest work requirement for participation in the social safety net which discharged hundreds of thousands from the federal plantation of welfare and expand it so only the truly needy are assisted then perhaps the LAZY will decide its better to work than starve.
You are going to have to accept the fact many people are just plan lazy, stupid, and simply will not work. You could give them a million dollars and come back a year later and they be right back where they were to start with. Read some of the stories of those who won the lottery millions of dollars and they are right back to squire one and some times worse off.

Now that's not the case and navigating a 50 year life from College to the casket is a lot trickier. That may or may not be true in fact but I think that is the core of the voter rebellion over the last 2 years. It's also the thing that the DNC has to get a handle on if they ever want to get out of the wilderness.

Yes, you are right.
But no President has fired them all at once, with no replacements ready to step in.

Check all the last 20 President's?
Who has fired the most the United Sates Attorney Generals at one time and why?
Russians wanted that. Big cover up.
