Can we finally cancel Biden now?
He meant to say poor Chinese kids. He’s going to correct.
Biden showing that his heart is in the right place, pity about his brain, though.
Quite honestly how the man who stole British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock’s speech and life story in 1988 and tried to pass it off as his own has the chutzpah to run for office is beyond me.
No doubt he has forgotten, but other people have not.
He should have been put out to pasture 20 years ago.
Not as much chutzpah as running for president after killing a woman who was a passenger in your car in a drunk driving accident and just going right home to sleep it off.Replies: @Ibound1
While the Biden-Palin "debate" was Saturday Night Live it came across as Laugh In.
Oops!
More like everybody is obsessed with a 40-year old book, trying to pretend like the Mismeasure of Man was the last word on the subject so WHY IS EVERYONE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT.

Nah.
What a complete dufus! His recovery just didn’t work out that well either. “… wealthy kids, … black kids, fried kids, boiled kids, sauteed kids, …” [/Bubba] First it was apples to oranges, then apple to apples, then to oranges again.
Crazy Uncle Joe, there are poor white kids and rich black kids. I’m really glad I don’t watch TV. Too much stupidity is as bad as too much saturated fat.

Like approved Current Year thought, it is cheap, disposable, and incapable of cutting through or dissecting anything. It is the only kind of tool Angela Saini would let us or her kids use, and the only kind of utensil that should ever be put in front of Joe Biden.

Joe’s kinda fun.
The minoritarian narrative is so ridiculous and self-contradictory that it’s hard to not say stupid stuff. So the usual approach is just to parrot stuff that the narrative considers axiomatic: “racism!”, “anti-semitism!” “white privilege”, “nation of immigrants”, “xenophobia”, “sexism”, “discrimination”, “structural racism”, “equality”, “more education”, “every student college ready”.
If you try to freelance, it’s inevitable that you’ll say something that’s obviously false. And if you’re an old guy like Joe–who was never more than just so-so intelligent, but is not age-impaired–then it’s a mine field.
Of course what Joe wanted to say–taking race out of the picture–was also clearly false. It was false in say 12th century England, but is clearly false in 21st century America. If there’s any social mobility at all then the rich are going to be sharper than the poor. Even old–not race obsessed–social democracy wasn’t spending cycles trying to argue this, it was arguing for fairness: Every citizen deserves opportunity and every citizen–whatever their talents–deserves a “decent standard of living”.
This is … yet again another example of how superior life in a one-people nation is. When you don’t have these racial disparities to hyperventilate over you can have reasonable, non-stupid discussions about meritocracy, equality of opportunity and tolerable/intolerable inequality without lapsing into utter bozohood.

this stuff isn’t gonna hurt him outside of a debate. if he bungles like this in a democrat debate, or in the general debates, it can hurt him some. probably not a lot, but some. Trump is the one who can hurt him the most in a one on one verbal interaction in front of 30 million people, if Biden bungles.
otherwise this stuff is irrelevant. democrats will take ANYBODY to beat Trump. they’re extremely fine with bumbling, stumbling, senile Joe Biden.
Hillary Clinton was almost as bad, but not one single democrat voter cared that her brain was turning into mush. they did care that she was the most unlikable person EVER, to be in the general election. and the africans had no interest.
Biden is more likable, and more africans are interested in voting for Obama’s vice president.

Everyone is missing the point that Biden is hateful and cruel. He's doing the same schtick W did, hiding cruelty with fake stupidity. Biden's real and unflubbed point is that whites are not people, so their poverty and suffering does not count, and that's not a misstatement, that's pretty much the central tenet of the woke.

As Joe Biden said: “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself!”
I remember when McCain chose Palin to be his running-mate, and the story with her picture was run on Drudge. I had never heard of Sarah Palin before nor had I ever seen her picture. The first thing I thought was: “Pretty wily of McCain to choose Tina Fey as his running mate”.
Donald Trump is a boor, a blowhard, and a moron.
And – yet – next to Joe Biden, he’s Dwight Eisenhower.
Biden is just such a shallow, stupid, goofy, fakey doofus.
So I’m betting on him to win.

This is one of the things that made me switch from political left to political right. I want to have a reasonable debate about economic inequality. How much of it is fair and how much not fair.

Under Obama we all knew it was true. Even a fairly intelligent “black” President had to rely on intelligent whites to get anything done. Even lefties subconsciously realized Obama only played well because he could act and think like a 120 IQ white college grad.
Unfortunately Trump has since done a lot to undermine The Bell Curve. His public persona is so transparently and aggressively stupid, and so many of Cult 45 are the worst representation of the white race – ugly, ignorant, selfish and laughably irritable – that it is hard to see much difference anymore between American lower income whites and blacks. Maybe Trump is a political genius for realizing that acting like a black thug would play well with low IQ whites, but he has destroyed the idea of “white racial solidarity” for generations.
I have news for you, Peter. (1) Presidents delegate authority, as does any executive and (2) the effective constitutional set up tends to empower obstructive veto groups. The last President who accomplished much via statutory legislation was Lyndon Johnson, and only during the period running from the end of 1963 to the end of 1966.
Obama's actual problem (which rendered him less capable than the others) was that he had no experience as an executive and he lacked the experience and the personality configuration to negotiate effectively. He hardly met with members of Congress.
I'm sure you're vain about your IQ scores (or what you fancy are your IQ scores). However, an IQ at the 89th percentile is quite unremarkable for capable professional men and in the realm of practical politics, additional increments of this property have diminishing returns and even negative returns. The three most generically intelligent recent presidents were Herbert Hoover, Woodrow Wilson, and Richard Nixon; all three could have improved their own welfare and the common life by staying out of elective office.

The RAND corporation just completed a long and expensive fact-check of Joe Biden’s claim that “poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids”. The study’s summary and conclusion:
Poor kids are NOT as bright and talented as white kids.
The study cost $500 million, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and took five years, with the cooperation of several school districts and numerous LIM (low-income minority) dominated schools. The participating schools were also statistically matched with non-treated “placebo” schools with similar characteristics to provide a “matched” sample comparison of the impact of the intervention. The participating schools were lavished with resources for five years, to improve teaching effectiveness.
The conclusion – zero measurable effect. The null hypothesis (improved teaching effectiveness has no impact) was accepted.

Biden can do it. He’s bright and articulate.
True – several months ago I thought Biden wouldn’t survive past this fall because his ship had sailed years ago, but right now he looks as likely as anyone to be the Dem nominee. I also thought the fix was in for Harris, but she’s polling at 1% with black voters, which is pretty remarkable. That might change a bit, but she’s in a pretty deep hole right now and it would take the implosion of at least one of the frontrunners for her to have any sort of shot at this point.

One of the misconceptions of Trump supporters is that they’re simply poor whites. Certainly they make a segment of his support but he enjoys support from wealthy whites as well. There is a lot of wealth outside of NYC and Cali. Most of the sport league owners support him, most white athletes support him especially in football. John Elway got in mini trouble for liking a Trump tweet.

The 2nd debate was also lowly rated, relatively few people watched. One caveat to the significance of debates as it relates to Biden is that he hasn’t shared a stage with Warren yet.
I think his cognitive decline will be made very apparent when he’s confronted by her.
The third debate is Thursday, September 12, going up against the Panthers and the Buccaneers, a game I wouldn't watch even if it was held in my backyard. Only 9 candidates have qualified so far, so they'll all be on stage together. Therefore, the ratings should exceed the first debate, since the chaff has been eliminated.
He’s bidin’ his time, ’til total dementia takes him outa the game.
Perhaps Biden is referencing Ontario’s education system.

Tropes like this (or worse, ‘teach every child’) lie behind (1) the refusal of school authorities to sequester trouble-makers, rendering schools a disorderly mess and (2) tremendous waste of effort at the primary level as children who vary wildly in their absorptive capacity are stuck in the same classroom and (3) tremendous waste of effort at the secondary level as vocational training is slighted in favor of half-assed liberal education and (4) tremendous waste of effort at the tertiary level as those enrolled are compelled to take a grab bag of academic courses irrelevant to their objects in order to obtain their credentials. It’s always about self-congratulation, not about doing ordinary people any good.

In 1978 PRC’s Deng, trying to put Maoism away politically, pushed the Han Dynasty saying 實事求是 or seek truth through facts. The idea being Maoist theory sounds good put does not work in practice as seen from results. Biden is arguing for putting ideological purity over practical results just like the Maoists did back in the 1970s.
It's weird to recall CA being a solid Republican state. Even I, from the other side of the world, can remember it.Replies: @ScarletNumber
To be fair, the GOP has its share of electoral votes in its pocket as well.
As for CA, the last losing Presidential candidate they voted for was Ford, who coincidentally became president 45 years ago today.

The second debate was also in July, while the first one was June. More people are home to watch TV in June than July.
The third debate is Thursday, September 12, going up against the Panthers and the Buccaneers, a game I wouldn’t watch even if it was held in my backyard. Only 9 candidates have qualified so far, so they’ll all be on stage together. Therefore, the ratings should exceed the first debate, since the chaff has been eliminated.

Under Obama we all knew it was true. Even a fairly intelligent “black” President had to rely on intelligent whites to get anything done. Even lefties subconsciously realized Obama only played well because he could act and think like a 120 IQ white college grad.
Unfortunately Trump has since done a lot to undermine The Bell Curve. His public persona is so transparently and aggressively stupid, and so many of Cult 45 are the worst representation of the white race - ugly, ignorant, selfish and laughably irritable - that it is hard to see much difference anymore between American lower income whites and blacks. Maybe Trump is a political genius for realizing that acting like a black thug would play well with low IQ whites, but he has destroyed the idea of “white racial solidarity” for generations.Replies: @Ed, @Dissident, @Art Deco, @Gringo

Quite the Freudian slip. The Respectables have demonstrated time and again that they do indeed choose Truth, i.e., The Narrative, over facts.
I think the issue was that around that time during Fey’s SNL tenure nerds adopted her as their own dream girl and hyped her as the hottest thing going. I think at some point if I recall Fey herself got a little bit embarrassed by that sort of overwrought attention against the “professionally hot” competition.
FWIW, I think a lot of celebrities are a bit odd-looking in the flesh, probably having something to do with translating their image into the 2D medium. You can test this yourself if you get the opportunity to see your local television people in person – often something will seem quite a bit “off” about them compared with how they are perceived on your television.
She also shared the secret of losing weight: Stop eating. This is what Amy Schumer did as well, but unlike Tina Amy decided to stop following this advice now that she has cashed in.
I don’t want to cancel Biden. I want him to run against Trump. I want video of him fainting on a hot 72 degree day and saying stupid things. Trump already has an insulting nickname for him.
Perhaps we all should put him back in chains.

I have news for you, Peter. (1) Presidents delegate authority, as does any executive and (2) the effective constitutional set up tends to empower obstructive veto groups. The last President who accomplished much via statutory legislation was Lyndon Johnson, and only during the period running from the end of 1963 to the end of 1966.
Obama’s actual problem (which rendered him less capable than the others) was that he had no experience as an executive and he lacked the experience and the personality configuration to negotiate effectively. He hardly met with members of Congress.
I’m sure you’re vain about your IQ scores (or what you fancy are your IQ scores). However, an IQ at the 89th percentile is quite unremarkable for capable professional men and in the realm of practical politics, additional increments of this property have diminishing returns and even negative returns. The three most generically intelligent recent presidents were Herbert Hoover, Woodrow Wilson, and Richard Nixon; all three could have improved their own welfare and the common life by staying out of elective office.

If you look at pictures of Tina Fey when she was at Second City, she was chubby to say the least. They wouldn’t let her on TV until she lost weight.

This is all quite simple.
For purposes of American public discourse and policy (wrt things like university admissions, AA, disparate impact etc) we should simply disaggregate Jews from Whites in our demographic metrics, give Jews an identifiably distinct metrical tag from Whites, and then make the logical leap to endlessly discussing the black / Jewish wealth gap, the black / Jewish achievement gap, the claim that “poor kids are just as smart as Jewish kids” (because of course, there are no poor Jewish kids).
All of these “gaps” of course are laughably larger than the black-white gaps. But we want justice, do we not?
Therefore we must take Raj Chetty at his word, and solve the “problem” of these massive, massive black-Jewish gaps, with the only solution that conscience and civic-mindedness and Justice allows: a massive, massive influx of low-income blacks into all Jewish neighborhoods and all Jewish schools, even private and religious ones. (Hey, Catholics schools routinely admit non-Catholics, why can’t Jews? Welcome the stranger, Jews! It says so umpteen times in your Torah, as you’ve testified to Congress hundreds of times in your pro-immigration putsch, I mean push! Time to welcome the stranger!!)
Then sit back and watch as the whole “gap” question magically disappears, never to be heard of again, and Raj Chetty quits Harvard to take that dream job at the University of Hawaii.

“We choose science over fiction,” Biden said. “We choose truth over facts.”
Biden’s age is going to be a problem. I can see it now: “Mr. Trump, I knew, uh, whatshisname. That guy. Yeah. He was a friend of mine … you’re a friend of mine – wait, I meant…uh…what was I saying? Oh yeah, John Kennedy was a friend of mine. Nice guy. Whatever happened to him?”
Or outside politics.
Obama’s been gone for a few years now, my friend. I believe it’s time to let it go.

Why would there be negative returns?
The scary thing is when you consider his gaffes and his deeply held cuck beliefs, and realize he has a 50-50 shot or better at beating Trump. Right now we know he already has CA, IL, MA, NJ and NY just to name a few. This cuck can already book over half the electoral votes needed to win 15 months before the election, and he won't even have to spend a dime campaigning for them.

Not so much, any more. Its two biggest prizes–Texas and Florida–happen to be two of the three biggest hispanic states in the Union and are tipping as we speak, if it didn’t already happen. No.3 Georgia is right behind.
It’ll take a miracle for the Reps to win any more national elections. Everyone’s been so focused on the lame Democrat candidates, with good reason. But soon if not already, even the lamest Democrats will be slam-dunks.

Looking at the 2016 map, I should mention PA, OH, MI if I’m going to mention Georgia. Can Trump win those states again? If he can’t keep Texas (with migrants) and Florida (with migrants and felons voting) it won’t even matter.

The Democrats are going to have a problem until they get over the idea of selecting their presidential candidate on the basis of dead men’s shoes. The last man or woman of their generation still capable of standing in front of a camera gets a turn at being candidate.

Nicely put, AD. It should be clear to just about everyone that capitalism has some inherent infelicities. Marx pointed some of them out. So did Adam Smith. There are almost certainly several sets of remediations for these infelicities that different peoples with different values could choose among. But we can’t even begin to discover what these sets of remediations are, and which we might want to implement, unless we can call things by their names. Right-wing apologists for the capitalists have made doing so difficult. But Left-wing fanatics who insist that only Lenin or Trotsky or Stalin or Mao or Fidel or Chavez can save us have made it absolutely impossible.
I’ve heard it bandied about that our annual intake of immigrants should be 1 percent of our population. So that would put us at 3.3 million per year. But it also means that when we reach 400 million, we will take in 4 million per year. In other words the annual intake of immigrants will forever increase regardless of a need or desire on the part of the Americans. The only driver will be that the intake must be 1 percent of the population.
High IQ causes social dislocation? That is not obvious.

Because swing voters were largely indifferent to the Clintons’ grossness, any Republican that year was going to face a strong headwind. There were three competitive candidates for the Republican nomination that year; all three are still alive 23 years later, so it’s odd to complain they were over-the-hill then.
