    And, your "movie" thing is absolute crap.

    Berating individual judges, especially on racial lines, is derogatory of our system.

    And, your piece of crap invokes Nazism as if that's a common response of Dems?????

    You should be embarrassed.

    Your opinions are assigned to you by the media you consume.

    Remember that.

    You're not the one human that transcends human cognative dissonance.

    Kobe wasn't running for public office trump was. Kobe could speak in complete sentences, trump can't. Kobe had at least average intelligence, trump doesn't. I could go on but you get the gist.

    Your point is that Dems keep getting whooped by someone who doesn't posses average intelligence?

    collusion - whooped
    bribery - whooped
    emoluments - whooped
    immigration - whooped
    economy - whooped
    foreign policy - whooped

    How do all these intellectually superior people keep getting their rear ends handed to them?

    That was not my point, can you read?

    To YOUR point, however, it's not surprising that an IDIOT like trump can gain popularity. Ever heard of the kardashians?

    Maybe try being successful before you start telling people how stupid they are.

    What is the correlation between "success" and intelligence? Does the bell curve shift if your given a multi-million dollar head start (plus all of the slimy ny business connections)? I know trump is stupid, he shows me how stupid he is on a regular basis. If you don't see it, I can't help you. It certainly doesn't take astute observation.
    I am successful BTW. I started as an AB in the USAF. I didn't even have a car for transportation - I rode my bike to tech school everyday at Keesler. I started from almost nothing and now I have a CS degree, own a house, have successful kids, blah blah... Trump would have never been able to do that, he's too gdamn stupid.

    He's too stupid to own a house or have successful kids?

    That's right, without the silver spoon he'd be flipping burgers or sweeping floors. Maybe managing the lawn department at wal-mart.

    What's the percentage of people who are completely wiped out 5 years after winning the lottery?

    Let's say it is 0%. Let's say it's 100%.

    WTF?

    I read stuff from all over. I have the Fox app on this tablet I'm using.

    How could you POSSIBLY think you could be informed by reading only one side of any particular argument???

    Let's say what it actually is. It's 70%. 70% of a random sampling of lottery players are not smart enough to maintain their fortune past 5 years.

    Have you ever played the lottery?

    There's a 70% chance that Trump is financially smarter than you.

    Who cares? A random sampling of lottery winners is a poor analog for the massive advantages that trump had.

    It was purely pilot error. The pilot should have never put them in that soup and he lost his orientation by not going full instruments before he ascended into it. He was about 100 feet from breaking through on the top when he lost his orientation and drove the copter into the ground.

    No. I absolutely do not play any lottery.

    And, I have never gone bankrupt or been fully financed or bailed out by dad.

    Wasn't it obvous that dumping millions on a random individual is not a method of engendering successful money management?

    So, it's a good thing we don't do that.

    I didn't get your point I guess. Sorry.

    In my opinion there was a serioously unacceptable decision made, not just by the pilot, and it led to multiple deaths.

    Our system solves that with tort.

    I don't have a problem with that.
