...All of the above! 😃

Not like he sees any reason to distinguish between any individuals beyond the four categories he lumps everyone into: "me", "exists for my benefit", and "does not exist for my benefit and therefore has no valid reason to exist."

I mean, she is part of Trump's entourage... for some reason... that he's not willing to share...
Update: she's now threatening to sue Bill Maher for joking that she and Trump are screwing:
Also she's eating dog treats on social media:
What even is this election?

Don Jr says you just need to look at the demographics and IQ in Haiti and if you bring the 3rd world into your country, you become the 3rd world.

Okay, man. I'd like to see Don Jr's IQ.

I don't know if it is just pedantic nowadays to stick to the original definition of 3rd world country. It feels like the definitions may have changed at this point because they never get used as originally intended. 3rd World is supposed to mean uninvolved in the Cold War. But maybe that is over and now it just means poor?. The definition of a 1st World country is the capitalist side of the Cold War. The United States can never be anything other than 1st World. Don't worry about it, Don.

Some official looking stats that Don Jr may have looked at say the average IQ in the USA is 98 and the average in Haiti is 67. I don't know how these stats get developed. There isn't universal testing in the USA and I'm not sure how to get a representative sample. The test is designed to average 100, but a test designed in one culture might not function in another. I see Japan touted as the highest in the world at 106 and it is explained with a culture of education. The test is not MEANT to be gameable by being highly educated. But I am sure it is. It always pays to be familiar with and practice the material.

But take the stats at face value. There are only 11.5 million people in Haiti. The United States is sitting right at 1/3 of a billion people. Take everyone in Haiti and bring them into the United States and don't cheat by giving them the free education that Americans get and our average IQ sinks from 98 to 96.9 and I'm sure the results are super terrifying. It would pull us down between Sweden and France. And maybe that is what scares Don Jr. Sweden and France, probably owing to their reduced IQ, have been pretty flirty with socialism. Yikes!

But I expect the Haitians would mostly settle in Springfield, OH where I have heard they have taken over, so most of the country wouldn't even feel the effects.

Haiti and it's people have been hated by sections of the US population since it gained it's independence back at the turn of the 19th century. Bulk of that hatred then and now is based on nothing but racism. Don Jr's included. They are still upset that a bunch of African slaves were able to rise up and kick France out. Heck, the US didn't even recognize Haiti's independence until the US Civil War.

Unless it's a Bernie Bro shooting up a baseball field of GOP representatives or a liberal going to Justice Kavanaugh's house to try and assassinate him, then its usage goes into hibernation for a while.

I knew this would age well, I just didn't expect it to get proven again after a couple of days.

That was a bit more than a mere freudian there. And the casualness of it. . . . this man says that word a lot when talking to other white people.
Not a surprise, but man . . .

Yikes. A key reason not to indulge in filthy talk with your friends is that being bilingual is harder than you think. If you know you don't want to say it in front of your grandmother or a camera, don't say it ever, ever.

They are grasping at straws at this point. Trump continues to slip in the polls, even after the second assassination attempt, mostly because he won't keep his mouth shut, and neither will his VP pick. I swear it's like Trump has really grown to like the taste of his own foot since Biden dropped out.

So obviously nothing happens except what the czar wants to happen (except the Russian Revolution). Has Kamala given her thought process on how and why she put all of the Haitians in Springfield, OH? The internet says the city started a campaign in 2014 to attract immigrants (when Kamala was Attorney General in CA) and the Haitians started arriving in 2018 (when Kamala was a Senator). There was nothing, obviously, that Ohio's OWN Senator could do to stop her or even slow her down. Is this a level of can-do a few steps beyond what is safe with Presidential Power?

He was all set to kick "Sleepy" Joe's ass after that first debate put him up. Then Biden did the unprecedent thing and dropped out, paving the way for Harris to step up. We all know that Trump's mental state is.....bad. Mostly because of the various isms but also from the massive amounts of drugs he has to consume in order to get upright. And let's not forget he made his bones back in the 80s/90s where nose candy parties were the fab thing to do after you've closed a deal/making a deal/before you start planning for a deal.

Ironbite-he's been short circuited and the only thing he knows is going back to isms.

Sorry, Vance.... You're not Adam Savage, you can't reject this reality and replace it with your own.
